Speaking of Denmark, there is new cyberpunk adventure game out, set on the exotic Danish island of Bornholm. https://twitter.com/InsertDisk22Now/status/1538040221840859136 "Bornholm. Today, a quaint island in the Baltic Sea. In 2155, a sprawling metropolis able to compete with major world powers. Thanks to the Space Elevator, a technological marvel built by Bornholm's corporate consortium, The Conglomerate, few nations on the planet are more influential both in industrial matters and space exploration."

Prepping for the sale: Someone recently mentioned Unbeatable-white label as one of their top games of last year, and I ended up putting many head-nodding, butt-shaking hours into it over these last few days. Any recommendations for something similar? I know of that recent anime* diva game, but ehhhhh *yes I am aware that Unbeatable is anime as well, but there's anime, then there's anime

The only way it could look less like Bornholm is if it was a desert climate. I doubt anybody outside of the Danes, Swedes and Poles even know about it. I wonder how some Australian devs landed on specifically this island. Fruits of the sea fucked around with this message at 13:48 on Jun 18, 2022 |

Awesome! posted:people were pretty excited about https://store.steampowered.com/app/774181/Rhythm_Doctor/ when it came out. i havent tried it myself. It's awesome. Fun little story, great gameplay variety. It's still EA and the story's not finished (probably just missing the last few stages at this point?) but it has excellent steam workshop support and there are many many custom stages available for download that easily feel polished enough to be part of the base game, so there's no shortage of content.

Trying to remember a game. Released on Steam the last 1-2 years, nice late-era SNES graphics, top down view, protagonist is a girl exploring a haunted house/cemetery/other places fighting monsters and ghosts with a gun and maybe other things. Pretty sure it's a japanese dev.

err posted:Can anyone recommend games like NORCO, The Longest Journey, or Neofeud? Weird adventure/exploration games with good stories/settings? Umurangi Generation - Photography game set in an ongoing Neon Genesis Evangelion-type apocalypse. The game is a collection of scenes that you explore with objectives to photograph, and is terrific for its extremely strong mood. The story and setting is completely in the free exploration of the vignettes. Heaven's Vault - A game about figuring out an ancient language through archaeology in an unusual setting that you figure out as the game goes along. You find inscriptions on all sort of artifacts or locations and plug in your guess at translations, which you refine over time as you find more text to work with. The game is exploration based, with various areas opening up to you on a world-map, so you can explore them in-depth for more scraps of language and information about the history of the setting. Has some rough spots as an actual game, but really does reward exploration and thoughtfulness about the ancient language. Outer Wilds - On many people's GOTY lists for good reason. An entire miniature solar system to explore with all sorts of weird stuff to discover, the entire game revolves around exploration and is one of the most rewarding for it. The game resets after about 20 minutes, so it is also something were you regularly go back to the beginning to head of in a new direction or on a more refined path after you've discovered a shortcut. Thankfully the game has an excellent tracking system to keep your place in your explorations of the various planets and locations. Sable - Sci-fi open world game about exploring a desert planet, lots of quietly exploring ruins and the hulks of crashed space ships. While most traditional in gameplay, there is no combat. Strongest on art direction, not sure if they've resolved the performance issues some people were having on release. This is an oddball, I don't actually recommend it because I gave the game up for being just too frustrating to play, but there is Jett: The Far Shore. You pilot a scout ship on the first interstellar expedition to a strange alien world that has been giving off signals to humanity. Though they aren't from Earth and the people have developed an entire religion around the signals they've been getting, so the game has a mystic angle to it's story. The game is setup around interacting with the alien world and ecology, you can grab various objects and use them with other things. Also has an interesting Soviet sci-fi art aesthetic, but in the end I gave up on this game.

err posted:Can anyone recommend games like NORCO, The Longest Journey, or Neofeud? Weird adventure/exploration games with good stories/settings? 80 Days - Heaven's Vault has already been mentioned but 80 Days has a delightfully world that slowly unfolds over multiple playthroughs. If you liked a overlooked single dev weirdo gem like NeoFeud, you might like Golden Treasure: The Great Green - A dragon life-simulator except it doesn't take place in a romantic medieval period you might associate with dragons, but instead Palaeolithic times. It's also deeply animist and each spirit/creature/alien (there's aliens) you encounter has its own style of communication and type face. A very strong authorial voice comes through and it's very weird. There's also Paradise Killer, the games of CAVYHOUSE, Dark Scavenger, Cloud Punk, Scarlet Hollow, Vagrus: The Riven Realms, and I have personal affection for the amount of effort put in to the world building of Ring Runner.

Neon White is very cool, you can tell they were influenced by bunnyhop and defrag maps (one of your powers is basically a conc grenade from TFC) and the way you unlock collectibles, then hints, then leaderboards inspires you to replay the levels. the only issue I have is that jumping is pretty floaty, which I'm sure helps with a controller, and I haven't found a way to drop down besides the card. the first level is a perfect example of this, you jump over a railing and then have to slowly float down no matter what

ymgve posted:Windows UWP continues to be a garbage fire. Tried out Astroneer on Xbox Game Pass, and there was horrible frame pacing. But since it was on there as an UWP app, I had a hunch and took the chance of buying it on Steam. Look at that, no issues on Steam, the game is silky smooth. UWP is no longer used for winstore games for quite awhile now. It's far back enough that Doom64 is Win32, for example.

I liked Citizen Sleeper a lot, though maybe not as much as NORCO. I've also been revisiting Kentucky Route Zero via an LP since a friend of mine is playing it for the first time. Hard to go wrong with either I'd say

kirbysuperstar posted:It is, but it's also like a 45 hour game (without the Yuffie campaign) with little filler still I personally hated 80 days despite really enjoying other games from the same company (nothing happens, didn't care for the writing). Golden Treasure is really interesting, and I'm not sure why it's not getting more hype (the survival \ hunting mechanics perhaps).

I've played a couple of hours of Neon White and it is very, very cool. Might be something special. Always good to hear Steve Blum's voice as well. Actually, I'm gonna blow the horn a little louder on Neon White. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X0b-qZTF0Mc If that looks too twitchy for you then don't worry. Each level is like a little bite-sized Mirror's Edge level but you can replay them as much as you like. After a few runs you'll be cookin. You get bonuses for going fast or finding hidden collectables which you can spend on the story segments at the hub word which feel like a nice mix of Hades meets Persona. wash bucket fucked around with this message at 01:33 on Jun 19, 2022 |

I wish I could recommend The Secret World because the good exploration/investigation parts are (or were) really good, but the move to FTP made the bad combat and progression worse and stripped out some good story/lore bits. E: Sunless Sea and Sunless Skies are excellent weird adventures (though not point-and-click) and you can mod out the tedious survival mechanics if you like.
