the worst way to play a great game is still worth it, tho I have a pretty high tolerance for switch and console ports generally. whatever you choose won’t be the wrong choice, but if you have a pc you game on then I’d prolly choose that option, as $10 is hard to pass up

i’ll likely grab it if/when it goes on sale but i’m not gonna pay forty dollars for it.

I liked DE so much that I feel like it’s worth it at 40 bucks. It’s funny, well written with likeable characters, and you’ll finally understand all the DE memes (mostly).

Then I recall that it’s also very hard to recommend anyway unless you know the person you’re recommending it to - some people are gonna just throw their hands up and ask where the shooting is, or what the point of it is.

i thought it was really cool that the skills were mostly really offbeat and weird but they worked perfectly for that game.

like it’s not the kind of character builder you could export and use in any other rpg like you could with d&d or even fallout’s SPECIAL/perk system, but it was perfect for DE

finished control dlc

foundation was good

the wake dlc was not very satisfying and the tone did not really fit

doesn't take away from the main game though, which is still awesome and in very rare company of hames I've actually played to completion

The one on my list is the new pathfinder game. It was on sale with all the DLC in a humble bundle a while back but I didn't buy it because I thought it'd be as cheap in a steam sale.

shit wizard dad

AssCreed Odyssey gets all the love (not without reason) but AC: Origins is almost as good IMO, and this is as good a money/game offset bargain as you're likely to see for it

https://www.fanatical.com/en/game/assassins-creed-origins-deluxe-edition

The Egypt setting is a stunning bit of worldbuilding, and while the protagonist here is a bit more of a straight man than your Gods children from Odyssey, at least the story has a straight line through to an actual end.

yeah I'm glad I played them in order for that reason, though I think I said at the time that early Oddysey you had to be a touch more tactical with your combat wheras Origins my man Bayak was always outclassing the regular mooks.

I posted this deal a click away from looking at a best-deal for AC:Valhalla, but from all I've read about it it sounds like it was several stumbling steps sideways at best from the previous games.

it’s worth playing as long as you’re happy to not finish it lol

the graphics are very good. including - clouds making shadows on mountains in the distance. really makes england seem appealing lol

and the combat is good, much variety in enemies


BUT overall not as good.

finally replaying Tunic and i’m enjoying it a lot. I was fully expecting knowing The Big Secret from the word go rather than learning it 2/3 through would sap the magic, like Outer Wilds or Obra Dinn; but that hasn’t been the case at all, the game is still a delight to just play

and to listen to, I love most of the music and the sound design

i love Tunic and love the discovery but they really turned up the hidden secrets a notch on old Zelda

like why would you burn this bush, aha you're burning all the bushes and it is a secret to everyone but like c'mon some of the completion puzzles seem to require you to be a 10 y/o with only one game on your console

i salute anyone who figures out all the puzzles on Tunic without running to youtube or reddit to get the answers :tipshat:

i kind of wasn't ready for the """comedy""" aspect of the game. i knew that was always a part of duke nukem but i was really expecting it to be way more gameplay-forward, almost the entire first hour is just these terrible jokes playing out as half-life style cutscenes. the decisions that have gone into this game are just astounding

edit: there was a chuck norris joke. this game came out in 2011 so maybe that's sort of timely
