Been playing Tower Networking Inc. Pretty challenging networking game that teaches you how to setup core routes and such. Very fun if you’re a nerd like myself.
I’ve been playing Kid Icarus (NES) here and there, and really having a good time.
My past experience with it was with the 3D Classics release on 3DS. I guess I didn’t stick with it very long, but I remember thinking it was excessively difficult at the time.
This time around I’m just winging it. But this time I had more patience and managed to make it past 1-3. That level does have a lot going on. You’re early in the game, so barely any health. You’re platforming upwards, so the ground that was below you scrolls away for constant death traps. And you’re being pressured to move quickly, by enemies spawning in from below. You also can’t afford pretty much anything from the shops to help you. Makes a satisfying little challenge.
After that you get to a labyrinth, which is like a teeny tiny Metroidvania. Very different kind of pace and feel that makes for a fun change up. I’m on the second labyrinth now, and I think I’m gonna have to take paper notes next time to navigate.
The going seems much easier now in world 2’s platforming stages, since I have several powerups. Glad this game has infinite continues and gives passwords though.
Anyway, I want to be playing more of the new DK… but right now KI’s been kinda hitting the spot.
I’ve basically been marathoning Kingdom Come: Deliverance II. It’s hard to state just how much improved from the original game without writing a book, but the highlights are that combat is way better, the stealth is way better, the mission designs largely don’t ask you to do anything tedious for the sake of “immersion” without something interesting happening along the way, and they do a better job of recording everything you need to know about a quest in your journal this time around, while signaling the things that they won’t. I’m having a hard time putting the game down. It’s Witcher 3 levels of “every side quest is interesting”, and the game gives you a lot of freedom. My alchemy skill is now maxed out, and there’s basically no problem I can’t solve with potions. So far, this is the best game I’ve played this year.
I remember you asking. It’s fun seeing familiar faces.
I’m excited too play though! I like to give games a try myself and not just take popular consensus on them (assuming the games are morally just ofc) and I wanted to try this. The consensus seems to be all over the place because I see people saying either it was really good Or it was the worst thing ever. I’m excited though to try it
It’s so good I stopped playing half way and installed mods to make it harder, imposed some self-restrictions and made it work in VR (Vorpx) so that I can be fully immersed in the experience, reading all the logs which I never do in games and try to milk every bit of this masterpiece. I have not finished it yet, but it’s still the best game ever made in my book.
And to think I took like 4 years to buy it and thought the trailers made it look boring as hell - I was new to immsims back then…
Honnestly, even with just a controller and the usual “gunface” from Vorpx, it’s more immersive than most actual VR games, and since weapons are more of a fallback/tool in this game. Well worth a bit of config with Vorpx.
Damn. Redfall kind of explains it. I remember seeing bad reviews for it. I had kind of hoped it would get a sort-of-but-not-really redemption arc like Back 4 Blood did with how it kind of found its player base. Albeit small
I think it’s definitely worth trying. I thought it was popularly received but I’m hearing some people were mixed. If you have Game pass I believe it was on there so it’s worth trying
It’s a metroidvania of sorts, it’s great from a game mechanic standpoint (lots of ways to beat the game, lots of possible builds for your character), but you do feel very lonely throughout it. The environments manage to stay more or less varied given the fact that you’re on a space station, and the art direction is fantastic.
I think it suffered from being named after another game and a lot of people being confused or disappointed by it having nothing to do with Prey from 2006. It should have gotten a different name. I played it for the first time last year, can recommend.
