Always sad to witness folks losing their jobs, but I guess we all saw this coming. Here’s hoping they all manage to land on their feet.
That said, I have to wonder what that second game was going to be about. Codename “It’s Magic”, probably something involving Gandalf or another Wizard? 🤔
Great pick, I keep meaning to check them but they sure can look daunting these days
Yup, that’d also be the case for people like me who stick with Windows for gaming compatibility/convenience reasons and critical GPU features the Linux drivers just don’t implement (looking at you, DLDSR). That, or just anyone with a GPU, I suppose, assuming the hardware market would look remotely like it does nowadays by then.
Ohh so that’s what it was lol, I’d assumed it was auto saving at first as well but got confused when it didn’t seem to generate an actual new save slot. At any rate, I reckon it’s a good thing it was generous enough that I didn’t even register it had limits in place to begin with.
Looking forward to the crew interactions too, seems ripe for a fun time since the game doesn’t take itselt too seriously and they all look interesting and seem to have fun abilities.
I’ve played several, mostly games I’ve been following so no huge surprises. My highlights were:
Lies of P
Great soulslike built on a grim take on Pinocchio. Borrows a lot from Bloodborne, oppressive and interesting world, satisfying combat.
Sea of Stars
Super charming JRPG I’ve been looking forward to for a while, great pixel art, fun combat system with timed hits, great music.
LunarLux
Very similar to a Mega Man Battle Network game, but combat leans more towards the turn based side of the spectrum. Has some Undertale influences as well. The art being as cute as it is might turn some off, but it’s a plus for myself.
Shadow Gambit: The Cursed Crew
Strategy game from the folks behind Shadow Tactics and Desperados. You control undead pirates with unique and fun abilities, and the game encourages you to rewind time as needed to experiment and play around.
Honorable mentions go to Eternights and Viewfinder. Fantastic games all around, the following months are looking great!
Sweet, definitely not a type of implementation I’d expect on top of the fediverse so that makes it even cooler!
Looks super well thought out, especially love the robust import feature and federated book metadata. I’ll have to check it out sometime soon.
Wow, that’s incredible. Thanks for sharing!
I hadn’t caught that, nice! Super glad they’re finally branching out a bit more anyhow, looks pretty solid.
Those are crazy high scores even taking into account my already high expectations, dang. The wait until it comes to PC is going to be extra excruciating this time around…
Yeah, new season looks like last season part 2 which is fine honestly considering their business model but I hope the next one mixes things up a little harder
P.S.: To the bone!
Haven’t been playing much but will get some Deep Rock Galactic action later today for the new season content, if that counts. It’s my one evergreen game I keep coming back to whenever there’s an update lol
Shapez rocks! Excited for the sequel too, dev updates have been looking great.
I was indeed, joined!
My go-to is Vampire Survivors! Default runs are 30 minutes long but you can make them as short as 15 iirc all the way to endless. Mindless enough that you can zone out but you can get more involved if you want.
