Costco's website is running sales on iTunes gift cards. The most savings is the $200 card for $164.99. Email delivery but it's restricted to members only.

I beat monument valley 2. While it was very impressive with its set pieces, clever level design, and mood...it was way too easy this time. It was more of a walking simulator than a puzzle game. If you liked the first, go ahead and get it for $5. Otherwise wait for the inevitable GOTY or Editors choice sales.

Anyone tried this out? Looks like a weird pinball rts mashup

Cool, gonna try that later tonight. I like goofy pinball-ish games. One of my favorites from last year was this:

$3 to unlock full play, I thought it was worth it for a week or so of enjoyment. You'll know from the freebie version if the game is for you pretty quickly.

Yeah the FFBE thread has all the info you could need to get started in the OP. Only thing that might be outdated is that Onion Knight and Veritas of the Dark are top tier starting characters that might not have been around last time it was updated.

The current banner is rear end to reroll on. Give it a week and see if we get the God tier 5* healer that will be the best in the game for the next 8 months. We either get her or de-nerfed Noctis who would absolutely own for a new player.

Lara Croft Go and Deus Ex Go are currently on sale for a buck each. I'm going to pick up the deus ex one and if it's like the other two (there's a hitman go game as well, but I don't think it's on sale currently) they're all fun little puzzlers that pack a lot of entertainment for the (discount) price.

These are all fantastic, I keep waiting for them to make a Thief Go...

If you have to pick only one, start with Lara Croft, it's the most fun. Hitman is the hardest and Deus Ex is the most clever. Really though, get them all.

If anybody is interested in a new gacha game with good strategy and depth, now is a great time to roll a new account (and re-roll, and re-roll..) for Final Fantasy Brave Exvius. Currently on banner is the best White Mage in the game, Ayaka, and she will not be challenged for at least 7 months or so. She’s one of like 4-5 pure game changing units available.

Read the OP for guidance on how to re-roll, but be prepared for the process to suck. The gacha rates in the game are currently terrible BUT they are expected to improve in the next few months if we follow the game’s Japanese release schedule.

The sequel to Alto’s Adventure is out today, this time with a desert theme and the same gameplay. I haven’t played it enough to form a full opinion, but if you liked the first game, you’ll like this too and it’s worth the four bucks.

If you don’t know, Alto’s Adventure/Odyssey is an endless skier game with fantastic ambience.

Everything so far seems to point to same game, new coat of paint. For me, I don’t mind, as I really get into games with good well done art/ambience/sound/etc, and to me that’s worth the four bucks. But I can completely understand giving it a pass if you’re looking for something better.

The wing suit is pretty cool but nothing amazing. The unlockable characters each control a bit differently, some are faster but can’t spin as fast, some can spin fast but are slower. The higher tier of unlockable characters combine both and make the game easier to play. One adds a double jump feature which can be a blessing and a curse in some ways.

Alto’s not groundbreaking, just highly polished, and I can appreciate that.

I have to say Altos Odyssey is pretty awesome. I’m a big fan that I’m can play it on my phone and pick it up on the Apple TV. It’s a very good Apple TV game. Great sound and looks really great on the big screen.

Yup, love it too. I originally posted in here back when it came out that while it’s awesome, it’s still really the same game underneath a new coat of paint. But that’s ok! It has enough new variants on the first one to be worth the price of admission. I do love the new wall ride mechanic that the first didn’t have. It really opens up huge combo opportunities once you’ve unlocked the wingsuit. Make that your first priority to unlock with your coins.

Yeah I unlocked the wingsuit but I still haven’t figured out how to properly use it.

If you have an Apple TV you really have to play the game on it. The sound work is great ( not sure if it has 5.1 but it kinda sounds like it might) and the colors really shine.

The wingsuit is really designed to link combos together, do a bunch of crazy flips and poo poo and before you hit the ground, turn on the wingsuit to fly you to the next area to do more tricks to keep it going. When you finally do land you should have enough points to fill the suit meter back up to full and then wash rinse repeat.

You can also use the wingsuit to aid in a lot of the harder missions as you get higher in level.

Lastly, it can save your rear end at the last second if you gently caress up a flip and are gonna crash.

I can’t figure out what to do. I planed some poo poo and met some dudes and found a bone. Now I just wait for crops to grow?

It’s literally “gently caress around” the game. No critical objectives really except to keep the crops growing. Even that’s debatable...
