Partisans 1941 released. It's a Commandos/Desperados type strategy game where you're a Russian resistance group killing Nazis and turncoats. Has an Xcom-lite base management and research system inbetween missions. The demo was good if a little Eurojanky but that's to be expected.

I'm playing Solitaire Conspiracy. It's ... kinda dumb. Pluses:

I don't mind playing it, because I like solitaire games and this one is quite challenging. But the addons make it less fun, not more.

Yeah, I can’t tell if it’s that or I haven’t quite learned the parry-timings or both. It really bothers me that those armored thwack-y dudes you find near the very beginning don’t pursue you in any way too. I feel like they want to but cannot for unknown reasons. That said, it’s very pretty and I very much want to take a crack at fixing the dialogue and item descriptions.

StrixNebulosa posted:LUCIFER WITHIN US I bought this and played the first "mission" last night. I really like it! It's got a really neat investigation mechanic where you have to actually think about people's statements, confront them with contradictory evidence, and deduce it all out yourself. You can brute force it if you need to (no penalty for being wrong) but it feels good to look at the evidence, look at the testimonies, and puzzle it out. I hear it's short, which is a shame, but I think it's really clever and I like the world and the artstyle. I wonder if it will be like Disco Elysium where it influences genre mechanics moving forward... Obviously you can't tell these things one Day 2 but I'd love to see other teams iterate on these mechanics. I love poo poo like this. (if you want existing game comparisons, it reminds me a little of like ELSINORE with a dash of PARADISE KILLER (minus the exploration)) That Dang Dad fucked around with this message at 15:04 on Oct 16, 2020 |

nthing recommendations for Lucifer Within Us. The last few years have been great for fans of Detective Games and this one still manages to feel really novel and special. The setting is neat, the mechanics are a blast, it can be a little frustrating sometimes when you pick some evidence that you think really aught to crack things open and the game doesn't react, its a bit of a shame that it's not quite as freeform as it feels like it could be, and the way how in-setting Demons effect characters and their psychological afflictions can make solutions to the crimes come out of nowhere, but those are relatively minor quibbles, and once you get into the world a little more and learn to expect it a little the second issue stops being as big of a deal. I've played basically all of the recent wave of great detective games and I'd say this is one of the best.

Skimming the reviews, it looks like a bit of both. The ratings have improved to mixed, and that tracks with how niche games tend to be received.

I've been playing Space Crew on my Switch. Here's a little info about it, in case anyone else is thinking to try it out. You command a little spaceship and its crew which operates out of a space station near Earth. The solar system is being overrun by aliens, which will attack you frequently as you perform your various missions. You'll be spending a lot of time in combat. Your crew members will perform different functions depending on where you put them, or what they're holding. If you put them in a gunner's seat, they'll shoot at alien ships. If you make them pick up a fire extinguisher, they'll put out any fires near them. The crew members also gain more options as they level up in their jobs, such as the ability to activate a cloaking device from the security chair. Each crew member starts with one job, and can multiclass once they hit level six. These skills give you some decisions to make during combat, since the more powerful skills have substantial cooldowns. When you complete missions, scan alien garbage, kill bounties, or pick up useful items floating around in space, you'll get money and research. Research unlocks new spaceship parts and gear for your crew, and you use money to buy it when it's unlocked. The customization seems a little shallow. For example, the engines that I've unlocked so far come in three flavors: more armor, more evasion, or less radiation leakage (your crew doesn't like radiation). It's nice to have the choice, but none of the choices really change how the game plays. The controls are pretty awkward. I tend to wind up cancelling my defensive flying, and setting a course for Uranus when I only wanted to tell my minions to shoot the alien vessel that's trying to put a boarding party in my hold. I frequently deselect a crew member when I'm trying to get them to do something. The game isn't bad. I've had some fun. I've had plenty of tense moments and close calls, although a lot of those wouldn't have happened if I had a better mastery of the controls. Unfortunately, it's starting to feel kinda repetitive and grindy. I can't really recommend it based on my experience so far.

Took me an hour and a half to beat Lucifer Within Us, I didn't catch every contradiction but once you suss out enough details in a case you can steamroll to its end pretty hard once identify the likely chain of events. Still pretty fun, although I wish there was more of it with only 3 cases total. I also made sure to purge the world of the devil's grass, lest it be allowed to sully this pure world.

I been playing Eternal Return lately which just enter EA. Its plays like a moba while not being a moba and as someone who could never get into that genre or has any interest in battle royale games this has been holding my interest weirdly enough. It has a lot of character to it and I have been having fun playing the peace loving Hart who defeats her opponents by playing licks off her guitar at them. Instead of an item shop it uses a crafting system. You can make plans outside of matches that give you a guide on where to go on the map for materials and tells you when to move on. You can also just import other player's plans. It gives it an interesting loop and I find it more engaging then most crafting systems.

The game itself is ok, but my playtime was under an hour. Price is a little steep for what amounts to the intro case of a Phoenix Wright game amount of content.

There definitely is a lot of jank, but the slow-mo mode covers a lot of those faults and when you do manage to pull off perfectly timed take-downs of half a dozen Nazi sentries it feels really good. And when you gently caress up and alert everyone the combat mechanics are decent enough you won't be immediately F9ing. I'd recommend putting Russian VA on with English subtitles though because the English VA is just a little bit poo poo. It's also a nice change of pace from most games set on the eastern front in that your Soviet partisans are actually invested in killing fascists and winning the war.

I put a bunch of time in Bomber Crew, so I nabbed Space Crew on PC. It somehow lost some of the charm of Bomber Crew and I can't quite put my finger on why. I haven't died yet, difficulty seems toned down due to not having to manually reload turrets so I have more time to manage the defensive skills. It's just insanely predicable - use warp gate, kill 1-3 waves of aliens, repeat until you get to objective, defeat more enemies, do the same on return. If it'd cost any more I'd probably have returned it, but for the price it's fun enough to fire up and run a few sorties.

Maybe a wrong example or just not thought through, but it feels like quite a few of high level remakes (lates I remeber would be that terrible "Gothic" demo) fail a lot. Aquanox per se wasn't the greatest game to begin with but rather unique in genre and setting and (possibly graphics) created a pretty high level of awareness Manifold Garden is now available https://cdn.cloudflare.steamstatic.com/steam/apps/256803952/movie480_vp9.webm also Shakedown: Hawaii https://cdn.cloudflare.steamstatic.com/steam/apps/256790603/movie480_vp9.webm wow Manifold Garden is already worth everything just for the screenshot mode and technical consideration instead of beeing My First Unity game (with shading!).
