Dodgeball Academia is worth the price tag for the super expressive art style alone. The fact that it’s actually a pretty fun little game on top of that is a nice bonus.

priznat posted:

It’s pretty neat but it has some issues like not seeing enemies off screen and I hit a game breaking bug that wouldn’t let me progress past a story mission despite finishing all the sub tasks. Hopefully a patch cleans some stuff up!

Also with the Dodgeball Academia game the actual dodgeball itself is fun but I find all the walking around and dialogue (even skipping, which doesn’t really skip it) pretty boring. This is more of the Japanese game style and I bounce off those pretty hard because they do NOT respect your time.

Vulgord's Tower plays like a traditional board game fused with card-based RPG battle mechanics. The goal is to be the first to storm the tower to defeat Vulgord. To do this, you must survive through all four realms, acquire skills, and amass an army large enough to defeat Vulgord.

Happiness, the standard simple feature of all such games, in the case of Patron is a complete gameplay system in its own right.

Patron starts off similarly to other games in the genre, but then veers off exploring social intricacies and what it means to truly run a society and not just a city filled with automatons.

Each individual citizen in the town has his needs, desires and issues troubling him or making him happy. Some citizens are more concerned with immigration, while others are more aggravated by tax-related issues. If the citizen’s view on the subject is in line with what the town government (YOU, the player) is doing, he’ll be happy. Works the other way around as well.

ZombyDog posted:

I never played the original Carrier Command, but I still have fond memories of Hostile Waters - Antaeus Rising which was billed as the Carrier Command spiritual successor. Carrier Command 2 does have a tutorial of sorts but doesn't ease you into the various game concepts. One of the first tasks is to capture your first Island, and it'll get you to deploy a seal with virus bombs and if you just follow the tutorial to the letter you'll lose that seal to an island patrol and scupper your ability to progress and have to start the campaign over again.
[edit]
Actually I'm wrong, you have 4 additional vehicle hulls available in your warehouse but the game doesn't tell you this.

Can't speak to this game, but the original from decades ago it was meant to be very simplistic to control everything, and it did have a fast forward button.

Summer 1996, Today is the day!

You hit the road. Adventure. Freedom. Escape. Run. Flee the Regime. Try to survive. On this risky road trip to the border, you’ll meet incredible characters, and discover their intertwined stories and secrets in an ever-evolving adventure.
But every mile opens up a choice to make. Your decisions will change your adventure, change the people you meet, maybe even change the world.

There are thousands of roads across the authoritarian nation of Petria. Which one will you take?

Road 96 is a crazy, beautiful road-trip. The discovery of exciting places, and unusual people on your own personal journey to freedom. An ever-evolving story-driven adventure inspired by Tarantino, The Coen Brothers, and Bong Joon-ho. Made by the award-winning creators of Valiant Hearts and Memories Retold. Announced as part of the OMEN Presents initiative from HP Inc.

Moments of action, exploration, contemplative melancholy, human encounters and wacky situations. Set against a backdrop of authoritarian rule and oppression.

A stunning visual style, a soundtrack filled with 90s hits, and a thousand routes through the game combine so each player can create their own unique stories on Road 96.

grate deceiver posted:

Yeah, it has a persistent map that you'll be constantly running back and forth to do sidequests.

Donnerberg posted:

My first impression of Road 96 is positive. It channels the early parts of The Man in the High Castle where the protags are on the road hiding from the regime, and there's a touch of Stranger Things. Teens on adventure with cool music in an alternate reality dystopia.
Edit: Add Tales from the Borderlands to the mix too. It's all over the place tonally, but it works as part of a random encounters road trip.

Each playthrough is an episode, and there seems to be 6 or 7 episodes worth before it'll do a hard reset. I guess the whole thing will be about 10 hours. Each episode picks up where the vignettes left off in the previous episode, so the overall narrative progresses as you go through new protags. Can't say how much branching content there's based on choices yet.

The movement is stiff, though it doesn't matter much. It plays like a Telltale game in first person with emphasis on dialogue and minigames.

The feel of combat was OKAY but not great. I get the idea of having frames after attacks where you’re vulnerable/can’t act, but something felt not that good about the way it was done?

Having to drag your companion everywhere was annoying - much of the time it was move one character. Then move the other... if you move them both, one grabs a ledge and then doesn’t make it up, and you have to move them separately anyway, probably more painfully than if you would have just moved them one by one. Them poorly fighting on their own as enemies respawn was annoying. And the multi-character inventory management seemed like it was going to only get more annoying over time. As silly as it sounds, when I had to drop arrows one by one for the sword guy to pick up to free up one of the three slots in my spell girl’s inventory, I kind of decided it was not a game for me.

I liked the looks and the animation was fine for me, though
