Tavern Master officially launched today. https://store.steampowered.com/app/1525700/Tavern_Master/ https://cdn.cloudflare.steamstatic.com/steam/apps/256837804/movie480_vp9.webm?t=1623139346 Early reviews look good. I'm a fan of small scale management games that let you build from the ground up and I've got some sort of weird inner desire to own a tavern. Crossroads Inn never clicked for me and while I love Stardew and Graveyard Keeper, I just couldn't bring myself to do Travellers Rest as well because it just looked like too much overlap for me. This looks like it might scratch the itch without feeling like a Stardew total conversion. Trip report later I guess, unless a keg falls on me.

I’m really digging the new Sherlock Holmes game. It’s got some of the best writing in the series, and the chemistry between Sherlock and his partner is great. It can also be pretty funny. I also appreciate the more personal story that has also led to some great character moments. Also this is easily the best when it comes to the detective elements. One thing I really like is an improved version of The Sinking City mechanism where you ordered the stages of the crime. This time you have to pick different images for each stage, based on your examination of the crime scene and reading your evidence. This leads you to really trying to understand what happened to pick the right images. Sure you could get it eventually through trial and error but it might take a while, and meanwhile your partner is berating you for being an idiot. The only real downside is they’ve removed the adventure puzzle solving elements from the previous game. There’s no using inventory items to solve puzzles. Though some might not see that as a downside haha. Also the combat isn’t that great, but you can also skip all of it, like I’ve been doing. There’s also a lot of side cases, many quite involved and interesting. I’ve played for about 20 hours and while I could solve the main game right now I’m holding off as I’m having so much fun solving side cases. theblackw0lf fucked around with this message at 01:13 on Nov 18, 2021 |

I'm hoping there is a lot more story, and more coherent story, than we saw in the demo. There wasn't much there, it was mostly gameplay. The gameplay is fun and cool though so if there's a bunch more environments to explore I'd probably be fine with that. But I'd also be interested to see a story. I've already heard the overarching plot element that Exo One was created after the interception of some kind of alien signal, so it was built by humans but is alien technology used to explore planets. https://store.steampowered.com/app/1078760/Motorcycle_Mechanic_Simulator_2021/ https://cdn.cloudflare.steamstatic.com/steam/apps/256858639/movie480_vp9.webm?t=1635884503 Motorcycle Mechanic Simulator looks pretty cool if you like motorcycles (I do).

https://store.steampowered.com/app/860890/Factory_Town/ Factory Town came out of early access yesterday. It's on sale for $10 until the 24th. Very chill non-combat city/supply chain builder. Buildings can be relocated at no cost, population can't starve to death or anything. I'm not too far in, but I don't think you can really lose by accident, you'd have to locust most/all of the resources on the map without ever building a resource generator and then burn all the resources you'd need to build one.

Doesn't have a lot of reviews but https://store.steampowered.com/app/1592530/Blub_Emporium/ out yesterday seems like fun, maybe for those who want a no combat factory style game with cute graphics and a shop you can manage. Getting the 'sweet spot' while gathering seems a little tricky (it really does not want you to overshoot even a tiny bit) but other than that it's cute and fun, though I haven't played very long. The Blub Blurb: Blub Emporium is a dense isometric shop manager that gives you access to the entire production chain. Gather resources from the wilderness then build factories to produce the things you sell. Collect tonnes of unique items, decorate everything, complete puzzles, and so much more! Is around $20aus on Steam.

Speaking of Game Pass games, I played through “Unpacking” a couple nights ago and was completely charmed by both how polished it is for an indie game and how well it does subtle storytelling with no characters onscreen or dialogue. It’s just great. I’m still kinda mad about the guy in the 4th place she moves to lol. What a douche!!

Along the lines of your spoiler I also find it neat that after the move out of there she has a bag of coffee and a french press in her kitchen where she didn't before, presumably because she got the taste for coffee while living with him and all his high end coffee poo poo

I gotta say I love the controls. Found them very interesting. There's definitely a story there but it is kept purposefully vague. I was actually pretty excited when a new thing happened that I assume must be part of the story, but I'm only at the third or fourth world. It's a gorgeous game and it is genuinely fun to just move through these insane alien worlds. It can get a little old after a while so it's a game, for me, that is best in relatively small bites. Probably wouldn't play more than 45 minutes. But it is very, very unique stuff.

Play posted:I gotta say I love the controls. Found them very interesting. The problem isn't with the controls so much as with the limited sense of depth perception, it can be tough to judge exactly where you are and where you're going to land and it feels lovely when you gently caress up a good run by hitting the wrong side of a slope or by missing a speed boost because it was much closer than you thought. By the time I really got a hang of things the game was nearly over but hey, I bought it on Steam before I realized it was on gamepass so I can come back and play it any time I want, hooray Exo One really feels like a sci-fi take on Journey. I'd thought it was going to be an open world exploration type thing from the demo, I certainly wasn't expecting it to be level based but it really goes nuts with the environment and gameplay variety in the back half so I'm not disappointed. The final level(s) makes good on a promise the introduction to the plot hints at and it's pretty incredible, it's the kind of thing I'd always dreamt of as a preteen space nerd. I like the way the plot is fed to you in short bursts of flashback dialog and flashes of imagery, it almost conveys a sense that you're not quite human anymore, that merging with the alien ship has eroded away your sense of self and that you've only retained bits and pieces of your history in the way a caterpillar might as it's reborn into a butterfly through metamorphosis, or maybe you've been out exploring the stars for untold aeons and those flashes of memory are all you've managed to retain in all that time. That's not a spoiler, just an impression i got

Fatty posted:https://store.steampowered.com/app/1276790/Ruined_King_A_League_of_Legends_Story/ This turned out to be pretty freaking good actually. Nothing too complex but just some fun light gaming. It's turn-based combat but not in an arena or anything, it's just JRPG style battles with some extra complexity in the 'lanes' and the timing aspect. But well written and produced at least so far. treat posted:I like the way the plot is fed to you in short bursts of flashback dialog and flashes of imagery, it almost conveys a sense that you're not quite human anymore, that merging with the alien ship has eroded away your sense of self and that you've only retained bits and pieces of your history in the way a caterpillar might as it's reborn into a butterfly through metamorphosis, or maybe you've been out exploring the stars for untold aeons and those flashes of memory are all you've managed to retain in all that time.

Very much enjoying Exo One, it's very relaxing and a lot of fun. And I can engage in some Skyrim-style mountain climbing as well which scratches a certain itch. I'm not sure how much farther there is to go but it changes up the environment and rules creatively as you go on which is nice. Moncage is a good pickup as well, still slowly working through that. Took a little while for the rules to click and it can be pretty non-obvious at times but it looks nice and makes sense. Tavern Master is nice as well - very simple in design and concept but what's there is polished and well thought out, which isn't obvious just by looking at it. Definitely more engaging than you might think.
