I thought the list was garbage until I learned to use it. It's still a pain in the arse. Once I find everything I need to change and have it in my work order I just screenshot that. Tossing those JPGs up on my second monitor is way less effort and it's silly that you can't just add poo poo from the work order to the shopping list.

https://store.steampowered.com/app/1322300/Tsugunohi/quote:One of the most terrifying J-horror games of all time is coming to Steam at long last. What's more, all you have to do is make the player walk to the left!? This collection includes the seven initial works of the popular Tsugunohi series, as well as an entirely new episode. quote:It's definitely a bite-sized game (both chapters I've played so far are about 10 minutes long) but the horror is done VERY well. The game looks, sounds and feels extremely dated but that actually helps its aesthetic, I'd say. It makes the game itself feel haunted. https://store.steampowered.com/app/1334730/Dread_Templar/ Early access quote:Dread Templar is a fast-paced retro FPS that combines 90s classic shooter elements with modern skill-based FPS controls. You are a Dread Templar who entered Hell seeking revenge. But in order to get it, you have to fight your way through the dark realm!

Play posted:Anyways, new game: My first impression of Road 96 is positive. It channels the early parts of The Man in the High Castle where the protags are on the road hiding from the regime, and there's a touch of Stranger Things. Teens on adventure with cool music in an alternate reality dystopia. Edit: Add Tales from the Borderlands to the mix too. It's all over the place tonally, but it works as part of a random encounters road trip. Each playthrough is an episode, and there seems to be 6 or 7 episodes worth before it'll do a hard reset. I guess the whole thing will be about 10 hours. Each episode picks up where the vignettes left off in the previous episode, so the overall narrative progresses as you go through new protags. Can't say how much branching content there's based on choices yet. The movement is stiff, though it doesn't matter much. It plays like a Telltale game in first person with emphasis on dialogue and minigames. Attack on Princess fucked around with this message at 09:06 on Aug 17, 2021 |

I was so enthralled by the story and the characters and the setting and the choices and just the general feel of everything. It's also simply unlike anything else I've ever played, I'm a sucker for originality and this one is highly original in quite a few ways. Honestly, I thought there was a pretty good change it was gonna suck. But I am super impressed by what they've made here.

Lutha Mahtin posted:according to a steam review, this game is not a wannabe hollow knight or ori clone, which to me is refreshing to hear According to me, it is a very beautiful game. Certain elements of the animations bothers me a bit, it's not always very fluid and natural-feeling, Ori definitely felt better in terms of control. But the backdrops and general artwork is fantastic and the levels are decently interesting. Fast travel would be pretty nice, it doesn't tell you how to get places so you just gotta run around and look for new ways to reach an exit for an area which is kind of annoying if you've already been through that area a lot. And every time you've gotta go through the whole thing even if you're just passing through, which I find a bit annoying. Story is kind of interesting at least, and the part at the beginning where you could play with the first little dude and his sister was interesting, so I'm looking forward to unlocking the other two ... creatures, whatever they are since controlling multiple guys at once or switching between them is going to be a huge part of the game and the puzzles and the traversal.

Played the demo for this and it was rubbish. Basically Oxygen Not Included if you took out anything that needed you to build creatively. Also the weird contradictory theming in that you are supposed to be torturing these souls in hell but the entire gameplay loop is about making sure all their needs are met. Most it did for me was make me imagine what an actually good Hell Simulator might play like.

They reskinned Oxygen Not Included and didn't adjust any gameplay loops to actually make sense for hell/dead souls.

Argue posted:I've been waiting for this, and the reviews sound favorable. I'm a big fan of time travel stories, and got Twelve Minutes the moment it came out. It's impressive how robust they've made it. Obviously it's a limited world space with only a few AI, but it recognizes your every action and adapts in a way that makes the characters and story feel more alive than your average point and click adventure game. The gameplay revolves around finding and trying everything you can possible think of, but it doesn't feel overtly gamey because of how well the characters react to you. The only thing I disliked so far is that (first loop spoiler)on the very first loop, your first action can be to inform your partner about the loop and do the stereotypical "Here, I'll prove it with all the things I know!", which I didn't care for since it felt like that shouldn't be an option before a couple of loops deep. Apart from that one thing though, it's a great puzzle. I've been working on solving it for 2 hours now, and had to take a break. It gets a bit annoying when you run out of ideas, but that's how these games work. All the more satisfying when you come back to them and figure something out.

The 7th Guest posted:their critique seems to be that a time loop game involves trial and error and a complicated series of ever expanding steps to complete the story... which makes me wonder if they played Outer Wilds beyond the first hour I think a relevant difference with Outer Wilds might be that (vague mechanical spoilers for Outer Wilds -- I haven't played 12 Minutes yet) in Outer Wilds, you have almost no ability to affect the world or the outcome of anything. If you need to see something at minute 18 of the timeloop, you can fast-forward by the campfire at the start until minute 17 and then hustle over to where you need to be, whereas 12 Minutes is more reactive, and so if you decide you made a mistake 10 minutes in, you presumably have to painstakingly recreate the first 10 minutes of your activity on the next loop, otherwise something you did differently might invalidate the change you're trying to make.

Xbox Game pass PC has both 12 Minutes and Recompile added today (along with a train simulator) in case anyone has a subscription.. With that and Hades and Humankind added recently it's really exploded in the amount of value I have been getting from it I must say (got it on converting xbox gold passes over so was a deal already)

https://store.steampowered.com/app/989790/The_Vale_Shadow_of_the_Crown/ I played The Vale quite a lot yesterday, and it's a game with a very interesting premise. Basically, it is a game intended to be played by the blind (although not just them, it works fine for everyone as long as you can use headphones) where you play a blind woman. The entire thing takes place with no visual graphics, it is all sound. The main gameplay elements so far seem to be navigating small areas by sound, doing little quests, and combat/hunting, which are very similar. It's really uncanny how easy it gets to navigate an area just based on sound, and combat involves listening for your opponents and using your shield to block and sword to attack based on if they are to your right, directly in front of you, or to your left. It's not very hard so far, but the concept is just so juicy and it's genuinely fun to play a video game with your eyes closed. Apparently there are also some other features that I haven't discovered yet. A game like this it's pretty crucial to have good voice acting and a good story. Not sure about the story but the audio work is fantastic, voice acting and effects. quote:CLOSE YOUR EYES. BECOME A WARRIOR: Feel your enemy’s rasping breath; a foot shifts on swampy ground; the crack of steel on wooden shield. The Vale is an audio based action adventure that sets out to breathe new life into medieval combat and fantasy narrative. Also played Recompile and OCO a bit. OCO is kind of neat, a circular platformer that is more like a puzzle game where you try to 'solve' it as quickly as possible and with as few button presses (jumps) as possible. That makes it sound easy but it is anything but. It's well designed and users being able to design puzzles is a great feature. I need to play Recompile a bit more to make an opinion. The setting, look and story is neat. The platforming is a bit strange, sometimes it's hard to tell if something is there for you to jump on it or not, or not clear exactly what everything does. It can be easy to miss a jump as well due to not having a lot of useful reference to the scale of your surroundings. The combat does not feel great so far. But I'm still interested enough to want to play more.

Show him something that has the name of a flower printed on it after he mentions a flowery name… I went into this game really looking forward to it. I finished it being annoyed at the story. There’s holes in the story, ambiguities, the dialogue from other characters makes some wild assumptions and overall it just kind of sucks.
