Secret Government is an interesting take on the world strategy format of games. Rather than taking control of a Government ala EUIV, you take control of a secret society and try to influence the world through the use of spies and infiltration. It's a peculiar cross of Crusader Kings, Europa Universalis and Assassin's Creed. The demo is a bit rough around the edges, but i'm curious to see more of it.

Starmancer is a cute space station construction game, not dissimilar really to Space Haven, though even more towards the pixel/mobile phone side of things ala Kairosoft games. It's a fun enough demo and fairly relaxing. Chinatown Detective Agency is a point an click adventure game in the same style as Gemini Rue and others of its ilk. It's got a pretty solid intro and ideas and might be a good game to look at if you're into those sort of games. The first puzzle is a bit maddening due to the matching icons not exactly being the easiest to remember, but the idea of using real world information to hunt for clues is appealing.

Iron Harvest has got a long way to go, what with the units being matchsticks and the weaponry having no impact at all. Disappointing really. EDIT: lol there is literally no point to these mechs. This game is worryingly bad. Communist Bear fucked around with this message at 17:21 on Jun 17, 2020 |

Outer Wilds is excellent. I'm a horrible person who doesn't always enjoy indie games, but Outer Wilds is a lovely heartwarming experience and I'd definitely recommend it.

I'm tempted to get the new Startopia, but the sad passing of the narrator means the new one wont have the same charm from that angle. Also the classic version still runs fine...

Songs of Syx looks intriguing for £20 for a one man early access development makes me a bit skeptical of purchasing. At least there's a demo I guess.

Edmond Dantes posted:How's Rebel Galaxy Outlaw? Just came out on steam after the epic exclusive year and it's way cheaper for me there. I've tried it two times now and I've bounced off it on both occasions. It has a neat aesthetic which is kind of like Cowboy Bebop (I think the devs were inspired by Cowboy Bebop), but the actual gameplay is very basic and repetitive. It's not helped that the use of fast travel in the game makes space incredibly tiny and irrelevant. There's no point in exploring or travelling, instead the basic crux of the game is get missions, fast travel to x, shoot y, return for reward, rinse repeat. It's an extremely shallow space shooter, but it's pretty, has good music and is voice acted fairly well. Your mileage is going to be based upon what you want out of a space game. If you want a quick pick and play shooter then you'll probably enjoy it. If you're looking for any sort of depth though you should move on.

Okay, so I've just played this part and I have no idea what the gently caress this writer is talking about. Minor spoilers ahead: Lae'zel doesn't show any particular loathing, the worst you can say about her is she's the rather typical warrior-orc hotheaded character, but she doesn't show any particular disdain at the beginning, other than "Hey, stop loving around and let's get the gently caress out of here." The evil cleric doesn't accuse you of being a creepy incel stalker. I have no idea where he is getting this from. Potentially a class/race choice? The rogue scene isn't that threatening, and his explanation and resolution is fine. Also you can, at any point with all of these choices, tell them you don't want them to join your party. The writing for the child scene isn't that bad. It's again not very subtle, but it's certainly not as bad as the writer makes it out to be. tldr the writer has a bee in his bonnet and seems to be straight up lying in certain sections of his article.

Cardiovorax posted:Thanks for sharing your own experience there. Could you get back to us about how long it takes to get the next recruitable character after that, once you get there? Because I really want to know how accurate that part was. The idea of having to either deal with assholes or play as a near-solo character until who knows when is what bothered me the most about that. You pretty much get a full party within the first 15 minutes of playing after the intro sequence

The Chad Jihad posted:New stronghold not getting very good reviews, although the complaints seem to be that it's too similar to a game I never played so maybe that's not such a big deal It's...eh...okay? It doesn't really do anything new and the campaign is a bit basic and, dare I say, a bit racist? The UX and menus are very basic looking and it basically feels a bit flat. I guess the Stronghold series was always a bit odd, sitting in a peculiar area of city building and rts. I don't regret buying it, but the experience does feel a bit flimsy so far. quote:Glad to see the MS holdouts are starting to show up on Steam. FH4 is great although I personally think the setting in 3 was better. Definitely a thing I recommend putting on your wishlist in anticipation of a deep discount at some point. I just wish these things would have crossplay between versions because a) I'm not going to double dip just to own it on steam b) fragmenting the player base is bad and c) I've already put shitloads of time into FH4 and don't really want to start over. I also thought the setting of FH3 was better, although FH4 does add on some nice ideas like the Lego stuff. I do wish FH3 was more easily accessible though, it's weird that they've completely removed it from existence.
