Major Isoor posted:Oh, has anyone played The Saboteur, btw? I noticed it came out on Steam the other day, so I'm curious about it. Never played it years ago when it first came out, but I vaguely recall people liking it as a stealthy-action game at the time. No idea how well it holds up though, of course! It’s pretty cool iirc. Been like 20 years tho lol.

I haven’t put as much time into 2 just because there’s a million other games out there but I enjoyed 1 a good bit and 2 seems like a pretty good improvement over it from what I played.

And yeah I remember really loving the Saboteur when it was new-ish, but I haven’t revisited it since then to see how it holds up.

Regarding Saboteur, sounds good! I'll have to check it outPunished Chuck posted:I haven’t put as much time into 2 just because there’s a million other games out there but I enjoyed 1 a good bit and 2 seems like a pretty good improvement over it from what I played. Yeah, I played through both a year or so ago. I found them both to be enjoyable, and the second is indeed slightly better, gameplay-wise. Although that being said, I kinda preferred the original SGWC's snowy map, over yet another 'dime a dozen' desert map like in SGWC2. Just personal preference, though

Yeah, there was probably a post-it note with Seventh Arrow's four digit locker combination somewhere in the photo too, eh! Naturally, I bet it's 0451 (Seriously though, drat - good swift action by the admin! I imagine this was the sound effect that went through IA's head when he noticed it)

The Chameleon         Once again, we have a stealth game offering from the ever-prolific Antonio Freyre, the stealthbro who brought us Undetected and No Sun To Worship. And boy howdy, do I hope you love pixels! The big-pixel approach is something that he makes a selling point of, and in the graphics options, you can set the Pixelation to "High", "Low", or "None." I suppose the idea is that Freyre is reveling in lo-fi retro nostalgia? Anyways, whether fat pixels is your thing or not, the developer really excels in providing memorable and captivating level design regardless of its blockiness. You start the game off as an escaped lab subject (this isn't a spoiler, it's made obvious from the start) who is tasked with escaping the immediate facility. Over time you gain many powers, the first of which is the ability to camouflage yourself as a guard. However, these abilities take up energy the more you use them so you have to be judicious in their use. You have the ability to knock out guards as well, but this will deplete all of your energy, leaving you vulnerable for a while. If you get caught, guards will slap you in the ol' porkchop and you will respawn at the last checkpoint. You still have all of your powers though, so if you're patient enough you could conceivably take out the 120+ guards in the facility. There's not much more to say than that, as it's a pretty short game. The story is interesting as far as it goes but it doesn't get much of a chance to develop over the hour or so that you'll be spending with the game. It's pretty fun for what it is - not as good as Undetected, but more enjoyable than No Sun To Worship. It's only 5 bucks, I heartily endorse it.
