StrixNebulosa posted:https://store.steampowered.com/app/1161170/The_Rewinder/ This one is excellent. Short experience, only 4-ish hours, but does a good job of telling its story and doesn't wear out its welcome Plays like an old school point and click, puzzles are relatively light though do require some experimentation to come to grips with - an assistant character provides hints where needed (particularly in the cases where knowledge of a tool might be needed) Note that the demo seems to be a much earlier prototype of the full game, and the translation is noticeably better in the full game

Or I overlooked something. need to play more though, movement is fun.

A couple games that look interesting that I have not bought yet, this first one seems like it doesn't have much game yet, but maybe worth keeping an eye one, it's in early access. Animalia Survival  quote:Live as your favourite african animal, choose between being a carnivore, herbivore or omnivore, predator or prey. In this multiplayer ecosystem, with a realistic open world, choose to become a lion, a elephant or even a swift gazelle! But remember, the savannahs law is to survive at any cost! Also people seemed interested in this when it was announced: Lost in Random  quote:Play the odds in Lost in Random™, a gothic-fairy-tale-inspired action-adventure where every citizen’s fate is determined by a roll of the dice.

Wield the Blazing Sword and join a mysterious, untouchable girl to fight your oppressors.

Play posted:https://store.steampowered.com/app/740130/Tales_of_Arise/ I really hate when a Steam page for a game gives literally no good information about the game, just generic anime action poses/setpieces and vague plot details about "breaking free" and "destined encounters" I'm going to download the demo purely to see what the game actually looks like/plays like, and maybe get the tiniest crumb of setting/plot. If this game didn't have "Tales of" in the title, I would have dumpstered any interest in it immediately.

What constitutes an in game ad in this case? I feel like I see what i would consider an ad for DLC a lot on home pages of games so I'm assuming you mean something even more overt.

I don't have the game myself but apparently the ads show up when you rest at a campfire during the game, not just the main menu or whatever.

The ads during the campfire is a button to go the store and a small marquee text of ad copy. I'd prefer it not being in the game, but also it's fairly ignorable.

thecluckmeme posted:I really hate when a Steam page for a game gives literally no good information about the game, just generic anime action poses/setpieces and vague plot details about "breaking free" and "destined encounters" It's... actually pretty good. Kind of follows that formula that some 3D Japanese RPGs have where you can free roam around the map, then if you touch an enemy you have a battle in a set battleground for each area, separating exploration and combat. There's items, equipment, leveling, skills, etc. It's a lot like that one Final Fantasy where you drive around in the car with your buddies. The combat is a bit like Devil May Cry, not nearly as involved but you've got normal attacks, dodges, multiple special attacks, combo attacks and some other stuff, which actually keeps it pretty interesting. It's not that hard, but I at least died several times on the first boss until I figured out what to do. Your companions fight automatically according to your set strategy. There's a lot of story but it has good presentation, lots of voice acting and not just cutscenes but little comic book style interludes. Story seems like pretty standard anima fare, but not bad or anything. Engaging enough. Really it's the first game of this style that I've actually enjoyed a lot, I tried playing several similar games like this but got quickly bored, this one has the presentation, story and combat to keep me interested. OneDeadman posted:The ads during the campfire is a button to go the store and a small marquee text of ad copy. Yeah for what it's worth I didn't even notice any advertisement for anything after playing for like 6 hours

Lost in Random is fun so far. The combat feels a bit janky, but it's something different and kinda fun. The world building is great and I really hear Ryan North's writing in some of those dialogues. And I tried the Tales of Arise demo and was just kinda unimpressed. It's pretty and all, but it seems to have the same weaknesses, which made Tales of Beseria feel like a grind, past some point. Maybe the demo is just bad, or your characters aren't leveled well for this point of the game, but the combat just felt boring for some reason.

This looks cool and flew under the radar: Star Drift Evolution People are praising it for great racing mechanics, a ton of content, all possible multiplayer options including 4 people split-screen, the nice clean poly look, fitting synthwave soundtrack and the possibility to play it with the camera behind the car or arcade-style from a bird's perspective. https://cdn.cloudflare.steamstatic.com/steam/apps/256846275/movie480_vp9.webm?t=1628777445

Yeah, it's weird how Star Drift came out of early access a month before Art of Rally but it's Art of Rally that's more known (relatively). Being featured on the MS Store definitely boosts Steam sales. Both look good though and are similarly praised.

Timberborn released into EAquote:Humans are long gone. Will your lumberpunk beavers do any better? A city-building game featuring ingenious animals, vertical architecture, river control, and deadly droughts.

Timberborn is also a bit like Terra nil, because it involves using water to rejuvinate a wasteland with lots of planning ahead required. Appropriately it also encourages you to make Dams and Reservoirs for when the dry seasons come, a very thoughtful game it would seem.

Yes, I downloaded it on game pass and it is such a rip on tony hawk yet the control lags and the camera glitches all over the place. If it was good in the controls and camera it would be fun but nope, it’s awful. I could feel my thps muscle memory kick in only to get hosed by control lag and the camera going bananas.
