Huge post incoming! I play tons of new games so I've got OPINIONS https://store.steampowered.com/app/1127970/Retro_Machina/ Retro Machina just released the full version, played it quite a bit last night and I REALLY like it. The environments and art are beautiful. It's a nice mix of basic but fun combat, puzzles and exploration. And the world / backstory is slim but intriguing. https://store.steampowered.com/app/1222340/Sockventure/ Sockventure is a devilishly tricky platformer that's pretty addictive. Moving through the levels is challenging enough but getting all the coins really takes some effort. They drip feed you more powers as you go along which totally changes the gameplay and every level is quite different from every other and has unique mechanics. Better than it looks at first, for sure. Not sure it's worth 15 bucks but it's a good game. https://store.steampowered.com/app/1347970/Patch_Quest/ Patch Quest, the developer has a long series chronicling the development of this game on youtube. Pretty fun so far, more challenging and complex than it appears at first. https://store.steampowered.com/app/1497630/Wheres_Samantha/ Where's Samantha?: fun puzzle platformer about a piece of cloth adventuring out to find his love and conquering puzzles and obstacles along the way. And some takes on previously mentioned games: ultrafilter posted:Smelter looks like a modern take on ActRaiser and it's getting pretty good reviews so far. Smelter is amazing but it's still buggy, I played it for three hours and then came to find out that it never saved my game properly. Super annoying, I'm sure it'll get fixed though and it's a really fun game. Challenging side scrolling platform/action game. The base building is pretty overrated and a bit silly overall but the levels are really fun, especially the challenge areas which will frustrate and intrigue you. Donnerberg posted:Now to see if R-Type Final 2 holds up. It's been ages since last they made one of those. It's out tomorrow on more or less everything. I couldn't play this at all, I guess I just suck really hard but they don't explain the controls and you seem to die on the first hit which is too much for my weak skillz in this genre CharlieFoxtrot posted:I am digging Unbeatable [white label] so much. Free on steam I've been waiting a while for this one, stoked there is a free demo gonna check that out today for sure! Thanks! Wait how is this new? I've had this for ages, feel like it was released at least a year ago. Absolutely incredible game, everyone should check it out especially if you like things like that. Kind of reminds me of Katana Zero in that it looks great and is well-crafted, has a good level of challenge and absolutely beautiful pixel art. More action oriented though Donnerberg posted:Insurmountable comes out on Thursday. It's another loving procedurally generated roguelike. I got it, it's kind of fun and interesting although I feel like they desperately need new scenarios as they begin to repeat frequently. It's devilishly difficult too, super hard to keep all the required meters (energy, body temp, sanity and oxygen) high enough. I would say the replayability is pretty low, although the unique setting does help it a lot.

Before We Leave isn't technically new, but it's new to the Steam store after being an Epic exclusive for a year or so. https://store.steampowered.com/app/1073910/Before_We_Leave/ It's an Anno-like, where you lay down building tiles for houses and industries on a hex-grid planet, and tiles can give each other bonuses or maluses depending upon what's next to what. You'll have to colonize multiple islands, and from there, multiple planets, as you gather all of the resources and technology to... something something something because I don't know anyone who has actually gotten beyond the "couple of islands" stage before shrugging and wandering away. The problem is that the game, in an earnest attempt to be casual and approachable, doesn't give you a lot of useful information. You need food for your people! How much food, how often? Eh. Watch your food inventory and see whether it's going up or down. Do you not have enough food? Maybe you don't have enough local storage? Maybe your supply lanes are too long? Maybe you don't have enough farms? Who knows, there's no way to get that information, so just try changing things and see what happens. It's... fine when you're on one island, but once you move onto a second island and have to create shipping lanes and manage those lanes because islands produce different things and now you're tracking ten or more commodities by just watching the numbers and trying to identify trends, it's just frustrating and boring. It's not Anno 1800 with its detailed links and defined ratios, it's an Anno from ten years ago with less detail provided. And then on top of it, there's just an overall theme of despair: the more you build, the unhappier your people get, and the more industries you'll have to put down to provide the goods that make people happy but those industries pollute and add literal gloom to the spaces around them, so you'll need more industries and make more gloom and just in general by the third island I was unsure of why I was making any technological progress when all it did was make everyone unhappy. On the other hand, it's on sale for $15, and that's practically free, so maybe I just a bad gamer and it's worth your time?

I was wondering if I should get this so thank you for the information. I already didn't love how the game looked and I don't really like keeping track of tons of different numbers so that's a 'no' from me. Anyways, https://store.steampowered.com/app/1183580/Terra_Alia/ Terra Alia quote:Welcome to a world where the use of magic is not so uncommon. Where powerful spells exist alongside the machines of modern day. In Terra Alia, the regulation of magic is left up to each unique nation. To be able to wield your arcane abilities, you must first learn the language of the land. Only cool looking thing about this is that it is using real languages. So it is kind of an educational language learning game I suppose. Haven't played it yet but it's a neat idea.

It really feels like a board game to me, right down to the limitation on replayability. It's also part of a subgenre of board game that's out there where you have a goal but the game is really about constantly managing crises. It's a nice challenge but sometimes when I come home from work managing various crises all day the last thing I want to do is fire up Steam and manage virtual crises. I don't regret buying it at all but I don't think it should really even be billed as a rogue-like because it doesn't feel like that at all. If you're a regular reader of this thread and you also have shelves of cardboard, this is a game you'll want to go for. Otherwise, YMMV.

Sparkles and Gems is a Breakout-style game with some pretty standard gameplay and an entirely... unique... presentation. https://twitter.com/resnijars/status/1378138070277574659 https://store.steampowered.com/app/1517530/Sparkles__Gems/ I have only played an hour or so, but I have certainly got worth out of it and then some. The beginning 2 minutes were a bit of a flop, honestly, but I have been glued to my screen ever since. An easy recommendation for anyone with a soft spot for puzzle games with surprisingly fun storylines, or anyone who just plain wants to experience something with a lot of very human fingerprints all over it, for good and bad.

Getsu Fuma Den is a Konami-published roguelite action platformer with challenging and rewarding, relatively deliberate combat and some of the most beautiful and unique art I've seen in some time. It's only released in Early Access at this time but from my experience it is already extremely polished, I wouldn't even know it was early access if it didn't say so. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AZiIWdg7P_U So far I like it although it is VERY skimpy on leveling currencies. I played for several hours and didn't obtain enough whatever to make a single upgrade. But the art is just incredible to look at and a huge positive for this game.

This game is pretty fun, and at the very least it does something totally different. Kind of lives and dies on its audio and luckily the audio is good. Don't buy if you use speakers and/or can't easily hook up headphones because they are an absolute requirement here.

Mark & Lara: Partners In Justice looks interesting. It's a co-op deduction game where two players have to fill in information for the other player. https://store.steampowered.com/app/1591670/Mark__Lara_Partners_In_Justice/ quote:This was actually one of the best co-op games i've played in a long time. quote:What a cool concept. Unfortunately, I think that technical limitations hold this back significantly. It relies a lot on searching the in-game computer system for hints, which is a really cool concept until you realize that if you search a slightly different term, it will give you nothing, and some search terms are quite specific. I feel terrible leaving a negative review, because the developers for this game are incredible and quite involved with the community, but the gameplay is really lackluster for how cool of a co-op game concept this is. My advice for a sequel would be to literally have a database of a bunch of random info and actual clues that you can search for like a REAL BROWSER, otherwise it's almost impossible to find anything without hints. quote:Fun game, but terrible translation! We laughed at a lot of the lines for how awkward they were written. Developers, please get a proper translation!!

Lutha Mahtin posted:Isn't the goal of this game to develop a society that doesn't pollute? Your description sounds completely the opposite of how the game bills itself. You literally can't leave the first island without turning on a wood-firing power generator and getting iron smelters working, which all churn out pollution. And you need more power to run the industries that get you into space, which is more industries churning out pollution to get the rocket materials, and more industries churning out pollution to get happiness materials to offset the growing population that is suffering from industry, and that all needs power as well, so it's either more polluting wood-firing power generators or move up to even-more-polluting-but-more-powerful-oil-firing-power. And the entire point of the game seems to be to get into space, so yes, the entire game drives you to pollute and grow your people which makes everyone unhappy (and requires more polluting industries to offset). Maybe there's a way to run it so that your industry is dispersed and surrounded by forests for the happiness/anti-pollution bonuses? But the fact that you need power and power plants have very limited range - and the fact that industries give bonuses to production and supply if they're placed next to other industries - seems to work against that. Maybe you're supposed to just do the minimum you possibly can and provide a bare subsistence life for your people so they're mostly unhappy because of a lack of luxuries rather than super unhappy because of pollution and crowding to provide those luxuries - but because the island trading system and the commodity trackers aren't very detailed it's hard not to lean into over-production to keep from getting pelted with constant shortage announcements. Maybe later in the game, after you get into space and do more research, you can make non-polluting industries and dial the devastation back, but I've never had the interest or the patience to put up with the bad information management of the game long enough to get there.

Rising Hell is coming out with the full version this week. I've been playing the early access version for a while and it's an awesome game and great time killer. It gets challenging without being too tense, the vertical levels are fun and the way the combat works is also cool, where you don't actually need to press a button to attack if you just move up or down into an enemy at the correct time. The pixel art is incredible and very vibrant with lots of bright colors, exactly what I love in pixel backgrounds, plus the guitar solo-heavy metal soundtrack is awesome. You can still get the free demo, and the full game is under ten bucks right now as well. Watch a video of it to see what I mean, the art and general looks are excellent. https://store.steampowered.com/app/657000/Rising_Hell/ Just Die Already looks right up my alley, I haven't played it yet but it's releasing tomorrow. From the makers of Goat Simulator which I didn't love to play but was fun/funny to watch. Thinking of checking this one out because it looks more polished and just downright silly, good game to play with friends. https://store.steampowered.com/app/979070/Just_Die_Already/

Galactic Mining Corp is a nice-looking base-building/mining roguelike. Not sure how it's exactly gonna work but it seems it's a gameplay loop of upgrading your base, exploring the space around you and a little mining minigame where you descend into the planet. Nice art, looks fun, no clue if it will be decent at all. https://store.steampowered.com/app/1218500/Galactic_Mining_Corp/ quote:Galactic Mining Corp is a unique rogue-lite, action game with crafting and base building mechanics.

I kind of agree with the reviewer, but the game also just isn't as quality as I expected. There are some decent pixel animations but most are kinda bad. I do like the focus on survival and item use, it's okay. Just an average game in the genre I would say.

Nice art, looks fun, no clue if it will be decent at all. I played the game that this is a sequel to - GEO - for like 45 hours. Can't say how much this sequel changes but it looks pretty similar. GEO was all about making numbers go up - hold left-click to drill down, collect piles and piles of different types of rocks, unlock stuff, collect more stuff, upgrade your stuff, move to next planet, drill, collect, grind, make numbers go up, over and over again. There were elements of an idle clicker in it, for sure. But it was exactly the kind of addictive game I needed for my insomnia-plagued nights at the time, just turn your brain off and grind. The main issue with it was the UI, which was a pain to navigate, but the dev supposedly worked on improving that for the sequel. Hopefully it was a success. It's worth a try for anyone who enjoys/needs the occasional mindless grind.

I played a few hours of Galactic Mining Corp, and the above post is pretty accurate. It is a very skinner box type game, do a basic task, get upgrades to make numbers go up and do the basic task better. The controls for the mining are simple and occasionally finicky. You use the mouse to control the center of the mining drill rig, not the location of the drill. This makes it easy to rapidly drill in a direction, but sometimes precision drilling, or avoiding over-drilling is difficult. My biggest complaint is there are piles and piles of things to upgrade - literally every tile you can mine (grey rock, yellow rock, grey sand, yellow sand, etc.) can be upgraded to get tokens, every item you find while mining can be upgraded to get tokens and bonuses, every room in your base, every employee can be upgraded, but there is no indicator in the main base UI to let you know upgrades can be made. I lost a bunch of crew xp because I forgot they could be upgraded, and they don't accumulate xp if they are at the cap for the level. In summation, if you ever wanted a game where you can just check off huge number of upgrades, take a look. I sometimes get that urge to just click boxes in a big tree, and this scratches that itch. I also played Crime Reaper, and it is a pretty good logic puzzle type game. I almost immediately set it to Expert difficulty, and it consistently is difficult enough to be engaging without ever stonewalling me hard enough to make me guess. I would love an in-game way to make notes or tag cells, but I have developed a system that works well enough. Even a couple more rows of places to put tiles would help. And I would like to join the people saying thank you for posting here, it is a great resource.

Oh, and you have to prevent the end of the world while keeping everyone from finding out it was all your fault.

Looks kind of like the bridge games or the ski lift games where you are given a set of requirements and need to put together a space ship that meets them all without overspending. Looks pretty interesting and I enjoy building games like this. Just released into early access I believe, although the game's story is fully done and anything they add would probably just be more spaceship parts and maybe more missions. quote:Welcome to Sunshine Heavy Industries, the newest shipyard in this arm of the galaxy.

So far the restrictions are too easy to meet, even if you are inefficient with your setup. You do get more money but like you said I always have more than enough money to get the new parts from the shop, which is the only place you can spend money. I totally agree, I think they should either tighten the restrictions so they are harder to meet, or at the very least institute a grading system where S is like, the most efficient possible setup. I do enjoy building space ships in it, and I like the humor in the dialogue sections, but it's definitely a slim game. Lakbay posted:This game is really good! I didn't play Pikmin 3 but it scratches a Pikmin itch I didn't think I had Yeah I like it so far! Although it's almost more of a hidden object/puzzzle game than anything else. Best quality is for sure the hand drawn art which just look gorgeous. Story is interesting. Not a lot of challenge though so far, although I only have one type of Spriteling so maybe it gets harder later. New games: https://store.steampowered.com/app/1253520/Heidelberg_1693/ Heidelburg 1693 is a gruesome side scrolling platformer/action game which reminds me a LITTLE bit of Blasephemous, although it is a bit more primitive and the movement is nowhere near as smooth. A lot of the challenge comes from your limited movement and attack abilities. You have a muzzle loading gun that you literally have to stop moving and spend several second packing another cartridge in, plus a sword and a jump slash move. The still frame cutscenes are brutal, as are the enemies, and it seems like you are fighting someone called the Moon King (as opposed to the Sun King of France) who has "flesh art" or the ability to mold people and animals. High challenge level I would say. quote:Black magic in the age of pike and shot!
