Rodent Rush, it’s similar to Chips Challenge from back in the day but a bit different, and imho it’s a better game.

It’s only on iOS though as far as I can tell.

Inscryption $7.99 (60% off, new all-time low)

You find an old, abandoned video game and load it up. It’s an atmospheric, spooky card game, hiding layers of secrets for you to discover. The less you know before starting the game, the better your experience will be.

Indeed, if you like creepy games and card games just buy it without looking closer - it is an incredible experience that shouldn’t be spoiled.

choss,

I’ve heard many glowing reviews with this same sentiment. In order to avoid most spoilers, may I ask you here - if I didn’t enjoy Undertale, would I still like this? I didn’t enjoy the metagaming that undertale did, making fun of the player for reloading a save. It felt dishonest. Does Inscryption also do this?

june,
@june@lemmy.dbzer0.com avatar

I don’t think this is anything like undertale, and I didn’t like it either. It doesn’t make fun of you for reloading iirc

choss,

Thank you!

I’ll back up June. I was “that’s pretty nice” on Undertale but wasn’t nearly as positive on it as its fandom was. I loved Inscryption. It’s not meta like Undertale, but it does have occasional fourth wall breaks, which is part of its game-within-a-game fiction.

Wahots,

It’s a completely different game vs undertale. It’s like comparing Dota 2 to DiRT rally, haha. It’s worth going in blind, and the post-game is extremely good and very replayable (and adds new content).

specialseaweed,

Thanks for that. Added to my wishlist.

Wahots,

Inscription is fucking awesome. And you don’t really need a mouse, so it can be nice for flights, or if you want to play one-handed for some reason.

The post-game is SO GOOD.

It’s one of those rare videogames that makes non-gamers ask “What is that?” And then “where can I buy it?”

Seasm0ke,

Katana314,

I’m trying this game on PSN, but often the dealer is just throwing high numbers at me and I can’t see any economic way I can match them with my own summons. Two bears in a row; what do?

It’s my common issue with Roguelikes. You’re replaying the first level a lot and things don’t really develop much very quickly. I kinda just gave up.

Tunic $14.99 (50% off, new all-time low)

A little guy in a green tunic picks up a sword and goes on an adventure, but the game is in an unknown language and you only have a few pages of the manual. It’s like a metroidvania but your progress is based on knowledge.

Blackmist,

It’s a great little game, but don’t be afraid to drop the difficulty down later on. It really does detract from what makes the game special.

Katana314,

As someone who never touched the difficulty, I think my smooth experience came down to considering the encounters more, not dial-mashing the controller. Some fights work a lot better with certain equipment. There’s three kinds of defense suitable for certain attacks: Shield, dodging, and sprinting (a certain enemy has a long gun attack, for instance, that’s good for sprinting).

I think I did struggle a bit at an eventual “rush” segment, but that’s coming up near the end of the game.

Gamerman153,

Such a great game

Schlongs of Skyrim, Apocalypse Magic of Skyrim, Interesting NPCs,

And I can’t recall or find the name of a follower that had really enjoyable voice acting and can process based on your preference.

damnthefilibuster,

Do any of these mods work on the Steam version of Skyrim, when played on Steam Deck?

KillerTofu,

Alas I have no idea having only modded on PC, but I bet they would.

bigmclargehuge,
@bigmclargehuge@lemmy.world avatar

SteamDeck plays the same version of the game as a regular PC. Any mods that work on PC will work on SteamDeck (in theory), but seeing as the deck runs Linux, you’ll need to do some more tinkering with Wine and such.

In my experience the relatively small selection of the F-droid store is full of these type of games.

Troll patrol

Sudoku

Unciv

Shattered Pixel Dungeon

Pirate Solitare

…just to name a few All full versions, no ads or premuim options. Love F-droid, its a shame the selection is quite small.

sem,

Troll patrol isn’t in my fdroid :(

@Macaroni_ninja@lemmy.world avatar

You are right, just checked it and its not there anymore. I downloaded it many months ago :(

sem,

It’s still in Google Play though

I’ve returned to the game too, after a fairly long break, and ended up settling on Thuldor’s preset. I love Simonrim, so it saved me the time on putting it together, but all the newest fixes/modernization efforts are there too. Strongly recommended. The leveling process is completely different, and that’s something I haven’t tried before. About 60 hours in, it’s really damn solid

bloons td6 is a nice cozy game, one of my faves

bmeffer,

If you play it through Netflix, there are no micro transactions.

Nikki,
@Nikki@lemmy.world avatar

the micro transactions are completely optional in the first place really, the currency is super easy to earn by just playing

Pasożyt - kierujący życiem innych -polityk, z drugim cwaniakiem robią coś razem.

Nie ma w tym dla mnie nic dziwnego.

Bardziej mnie dziwi, jak pracownik siedzi przy jednym stole i pije piwo czy kawę z czynszojadem, który zarabia na jego życiu.

Potion Permit is about $7, but pretty fun. If you got $10 to spare, Ex Astris is a jrpg that’s pretty good.

I played a cool one called Pirate solitaire, very charming
