Don't have a controller and want to click that button on the bottom right? Enjoy hitting "L" a lot. I cannot fathom this decision.

Moonring Just came out, and it's free. Described as a blend of early Ultima and roguelikes, with a hand-crafted open world and randomly generated dungeons. Turn-based, bump into enemies to attack them. Kind of resembles Caves of Qud? I've barely played it but immediately liked the style of it.

This seems to be a fairly streamlined dungeon crawling experience, while Caves of Qud is a maximalist simulationist sandbox where you achieve transhumanism by reconfiguring your body with extra limbs and devices, cause liquids and gasses to interact in explosively beneficial or harmful ways, and grant sentience to inanimate objects.

The Talos Principle 2 just went up for pre-sale on Steam, with a release date of November 2, 2023. I am usually the #1 advocate for "don't pre-order games, ever", but it's currently 10% off, and this is an auto-buy for me more than any game in recent memory. Edit: Apologies, I meant to post this in the Puzzle Games thread. But I guess it's a soon-to-be-fresh release? WhiteHowler fucked around with this message at 15:37 on Sep 30, 2023 |

Man, I really liked the first one a lot, did (I think) every puzzle in the main game, or close to it. I tried the DLC and dropped off pretty quickly, though. I'm wondering how well this will run on a Steam Deck-- looking at comparisons to equivalent PC parts it seems like the Deck's GPU is close to a 1050ti, which is the minimum this game can run on. Might have to hold off until there's some definite word. Cocoon came out today, just played about an hour of it and it seems really fuckin cool so far. It's on Gamepass.

One of my friends from when I lived in Holland is art director on Cocoon, really pleased for him that it's reviewing so well! I've played around an hour or so, it's quite fun, but does feel as if it's missing some kind of hook. The puzzle mechanics are super fun though and I'm sure there will be some excellent puzzles later on.

Agreed, I can breeze through the regular game with any deck on Classic or Classic Plus, but using the DLC deck/campaign I'm getting wrecked toward the end. And that's after getting a permanent momentum bonus pretty early on. There just isn't great synergy in that deck. Keeping the gun out or holstering it is a bit fiddly, and sometimes sticks you with dead cards in your hand in a way that most decks don't (or can be easily culled).

Play posted:https://store.steampowered.com/app/1902690/FateSamurai_Remnant/ This game is actually really fun, it surprised me. It's got that simple japanese anime video game combat style, not sure how else to describe it but kind of reminds me of the Attack on Titan game which was also pretty fun. Also has some Dynasty Warriors vibes since there are tons of basic enemies you can move through but then really tough bosses that you must take your time on. In any case, doubt many people will be interested but this game is drat fun. https://store.steampowered.com/app/1415280/Faerie_Afterlight/ https://cdn.akamai.steamstatic.com/steam/apps/256966620/movie480_vp9.webm?t=1694793919 quote:Embark on an enchanting adventure in this breathtaking 2D Metroidvania game inspired by the rich folklore of Indonesia.

Love the aesthetics but the puzzles are unimaginably easy, to the extent that I'm not even sure if they count as puzzles... I'm at 50% completion and it feels like all I've done is walk to the right and press A when I see an interactable. The trickiest puzzle I've done was rotating a bridge 90 degrees so I could cross it

IMO what Cocoon lacks compared to Limbo/Inside is a narrative hook. I have no idea why my little cockroach dude is wandering around messing with orbs. Compared to "kid on the run from cops/giant spider" and "infiltrating weird science facility" it's a lot more abstract.

Oenis posted:It was the best installment of the series so far, but I was a little disappointed that it also felt much shorter than the previous ones. Can't wait for the next one, at any rate. I think 2 is the best. This one has some mechanical improvements (like zooming in) but as you said, it's not quite as meaty as 2/3, and I personally didn't like the gimmick in the cave level (though it was thankfully brief). If I remember right this new one also didn't have any moving elements? The others had moving cars/boats/etc which made the scenes a little more fun and dynamic. I like 3's theme the most but they went a bit overboard with the difficulty on that one. 2 is the most balanced between everything, and the mini game's fun. But it feels like they haven't made their masterpiece yet. Maybe 5 will be the one where it all comes together. Apparently already in development!
