An actual boomer shooter would be like Space Invaders.
But at least it’s got a name I suppose so if you like them you can find them and differentiate them from all your online XP bar tutorial modern bullshit.
Might be worth cleaning the computer if you haven’t in the last few months. If you’re unfamiliar with the process check out some YouTube videos on it, this is as mandatory as changing the oil in a car regularly.
There’s tools like cpuid that can indicate if throttling is occurring.
Sorry, can’t tell, it was in some sort of gaming room so I don’t have access to the computer in question but I assume it might be this since the game goes all over the place with the destructions
Possibly, but more likely the computer was just in need of some cleaning.
My friend plays Helldivers 2 on his laptop with integrated graphics on medium and hits 30fps. Any CPU from the last 8 years should be enough.
For the finals, yeah maybe you need something more powerful than that, but not by much. A 2070 is a fantastic GPU, it would be pretty weird to have a GPU from 2018 but a CPU from way earlier.
Seriously? Hollow Knight is/was a huge hit. The other ones I’ve heard of before by word of mouth.
You can easily find indie games on Steam when you browse by any method. The ones of major devs will be obvious recognizable names. Even on the front page of the Steam store, it looks about a third of them are indie games.
Or you could look at other stores like GOG or Indiegala.
It is true, the gap between Hollow Knight and the other two is large (Steam Reviews as source, and general ease of finding it). But even finding something like Hollow Knight was something that conveniently popped up through either a Curator or in Specials at one point for me (can’t remember for certain).
Growing up, if a game was not something that showed up at E3 or was mentioned by a friend (and then later, showing up on Steam’s Specials or Top Selling), I never played or heard of it. And Steam is good, but I guess I was looking for something that targeted Indie games in particular, and if there existed a yearly showcase or event that was dedicated to Indies.
Hadn’t considered GOG or heard of Indiegala though, thank you for the reference!
Favourite is a strange term to use about companies, but in terms of how interested I would be if all I was told it was a game from X, it would likely go like this.
I just go to itch.io usually and play new games there. Might not be what you’re looking for, but as far as indie titles go, I find a lot of weird ideas on there.
I tend to watch Clemmy Games to see what indie games are coming up. There are a lot of duds, but then you come across a diamond in the rough. Clemmy does a great job for me, releasing videos almost every day and I would recommend giving the channel a go!
Not exactly what you’re asking for but you can check out Wanderbots on youtube dude plays almost exclusively indie games. Don’t expecte play throughs almost never finishes the games but it’s not a bad way find niche games.
Thank you! I appreciate watching the beginning of a game anyways, that way I can experience the rest if it looks interesting. Definitely has a TON of playthroughs.
Half tempted to love any gamedev company that promises to keep making singleplayer games, that can be played offline, without microtransactions and battlepasses. It would take more than a few botched game launches to make me give up on them.
