The gameplay is really good. The voice acting and characterization is also great, with a few characters being downright excellent. The only character I don't actually care for is the main protagonist. "eh blimey m8, here I go deadpan dying again"

800peepee51doodoo posted:Not sure if this is the right thread for this but does anyone have a recommendation for a good keyboard? I've been using a Logitech k740 for the last few years but the w key is going out so its a good time to try something new. I'm seeing a bunch of very inexpensive mechanical keyboards these days, are they garbage or are they just finally not overpriced? And are they any good for games? Or is there some other keyboard that would be a good option? I would like something that has a nice responsive feel and is pleasant type on and, ideally, isn't packed full of psychedelic rave lighting Mechanical keyboards can be a bit of a rabbit hole, and it kind of depends on what you want out of them and your price point that dictates what’s ideal for you. I would recommend buying off Amazon and being willing to take advantage of their return policy if you find one doesn’t work for you. If you don’t like clicking noises or lots of resistance on the key press, then linear switches may be for you. I use steel series apex pro and couldn’t be happier. https://steelseries.com/gaming-keyboards/apex-pro-tkl I prefer the tkl after trying it, but there is also a full form factor. You can turn the raver poo poo off or play around with it and maybe find something you like. If you just want a sturdier keyboard more in the $50 range, there’s a couple different websites and you tubers that have done roundup reviews of the best mechanical keyboards around or under that price point

nordichammer posted:What do you think some of the best rogue likes are? Thanks for the nice summary of roguelikes, I’m always looking for another one to try and appreciate hearing other people’s thoughts. I like nuclear throne a lot. It’s on the punishing side with ammo but as your aim improves and you get comfortable with swapping weapons out, it becomes less of a problem. As a person who is bad at video games, I’ve made it to the throne before but never beaten it. I think the difficulty of this game makes it one of the more rewarding ones to play If you like the core gameplay of Risk of Rain 2, you may want to look up some of their artifacts. There’s one that gives a lot more agency to your build, and another that changes how you get upgrades. One or both of those can change the style of the game enough to potentially breathe a lot of new life into it. As for things not in your list, I got Nova Drift on sale the other day and am really enjoying it. It’s like Asteroids on steroids with lots of character, a ton of ship building choices, and enough enemy diversity to be a fun, just one more try kind of game. Comedy option is Barony. It’s Nethack in first person and real-time. Brutally hard, at least for my friends and I, but you can play it with up to 4 people

NObodyNOWHERE posted:Speaking of the EGS sale, Outer Wilds is a trifling $5 with the coupon applied. Anyone who isn't completely averse to using that storefront should look at picking it up if they haven't already. This goes double if you're into non-linear exploration, discovery and deciphering the mysteries of the universe. That's a steal. I went into Outer Wilds not knowing what to expect, and boy did it deliver I'm tempted to pick up Star Wars Squadrons, since it's down to $14 with the coupon and I loved Tie Fighter as a kid. However, I couldn't really get into Elite Dangerous, how comparable are they?

BrianRx posted:Is there a secret to enjoying the more abstract rouguelikes/lites? I "enjoy" Unreal World, but my patience with it is stretched quite a bit by the interface and presentation. The core idea and systems are great, though. Caves of Qud appeals to me for the same reasons, but I'm really turned off by having to remember keyboard commands for every little thing when a mouse based UI would be so much simpler. I also really do not like the ascii or tile art styles, which don't really have a reason to exist in 2020. Is there something like Rimworld, in the sense that it takes inspiration from Dwarf Fortress and simplifies but improves the presentation, out there? There’s a free rogue like called Powder that tries to distill the genre into something a little more intuitive and better looking. I haven’t played it for years but it was one of my favorites http://www.zincland.com/powder/index.php?pagename=about Looks like there’s an iOS version now too, I might give it a go

Trickyblackjack posted:After smashing a peaceful animal that was just chillin in the face with a body part of another animal, I'm pretty convinced the title of that series doesn't refer to "hunter of monsters" but "hunter that is a monster". I hurt a benign animal so badly it tried to flee to its den for safety. My mission was still to hunt it down like the Terminator and exterminate it at any cost

The shadow run Xbox 360 game that launched mid 2000s as multiplayer only was extremely fun. I’d kill for a good single player campaign in that engine.

Anonymous Robot posted:Just played the demo for Creeper World 4 and it rocks. Someone made a game out of what I used to do for fun in Red Alert 2, crawling across the map with only defensive turrets. I’m not typically a tower defense fan, but this is a fun spin. I’d recommend trialling They Are Billions if it looks interesting to you. You’ll know in less than two hours if you like it or not. Personally, it was kind of fun, and I certainly wanted to like it, but found it requiring more microing than what I was looking for. There are already RTSs filling that niche
