I need to mention the Enigma Trilogy here. It uses the retro graphics so well to its advantage to create a strong horror atmosphere that I don’t think could have been done anywhere near as well with high fidelity graphics.
There’s a game with pre-rendered backgrounds called Alisa. I always really enjoyed the pre-render look. The excitement of reaching a “cinematic FMV” that moves the story in a PS1 game is very different from standard cutscenes.
I think games with sprites are great, but I can't say the same for low poly 3d games. Not every 3d game needs to have super high fidelity with millions of polygons making up each character's face, but I think games using n64/ps1-style models is a bit too far in the opposite direction.
I’m playing through Turbo Overkill right now which has the high-poly model and smooth animations but gritty low-res texture thing going on, and I like it. I’d take stylized textures that are visually interesting over boring photorealistic textures in most cases.
Nightdive’s System Shock remake is probably my favorite example of that same aesthetic.
Noita, a precedurally-generated fully destructible, with physics, pixel-graphics action rogue-like game where you play as a mage going through the various layers of a dungeon with the use of your spells that one can spell mix and match with a wand system that can provide the player with interesting and wacky spell combinations.
Pseudoregalia is a PS1-eta low-poly aesthetic 3D metroidvania with really, really slick movement mechanics. It’s the kind of game that really could’ve existed back then, had developers just known all the little quality of life design choices we have these days.
Drive it like you stole it. You’re gonna do poorly for a long time until you get your head wrapped around it, so just be curious and see if that thing DOES kill you. Then you know to avoid it. There are some good tutorials on YT that can help. Might be a bit dated, but should get you a decent start. Good luck!
Commenting so I can come back to this later with the site, I can’t recall the name at the moment
Alrighty, it looks like the list has grown and I can’t remember what site I had used previously, so here are a couple options. It looks like they all roughly have the same format of: create account, fill out games from database, possibly account and app linking options.
In no particular order:
How long to beat: create an account, has a games library for your profile
Keep track of my games: create an account, “pay what you want”-ware (free), can import gaming accounts (Steam PSN etc) to fill out list.
Backloggd: Create an account, can fill out games to your library and has space for reviews and other user profiles
Grouvee: Create an accout - homepage is pretty minimal
Gametracker: Seems more “game team” oriented but it has a spot for filling out a games library
GameTrack: Has an IOS app as well, can link gaming accounts for achievements, can make lists to sort games
Playtracker: Create an account, looks like there is a software download for the computer
Stash: Has both Android and IOS apps,
Of all of these, the feature sets look basically the same, the main differences seem to be UI layouts and more niche options of sorting/filling out. All of them look to need an account (expected). Since I can’t recall which, if any of these, I had used in the past I will just say that the websites for Playtracker, Backloggd, and How Long To Beat looked the “best”.
Hopefully this helped and didn’t just give you more choice anxiety, lol.
Make or find yourself a cart to drag around (g or G to drag it). It it doesn’t have wheels it’ll be quite loud. Sound = attraction = death in most cases.
Don’t bother with cars for a long while, even one that actually runs. They take a lot to maintain and cause a lot of noise (see above). You’re better off starting with a bike for midrange transportation (or if using mods a foldable bike).
When you start building or find a nice base area, make a crafting nook and drop all your items nearby to it. When crafting you can pull ingredients from 1-2 tiles adjacent.
Find yourself a Radio Control, a Smart Lamp, a Noisemaker, and a few radio activation mods. Mod the noisemaker to look for Green signals and use it to draw zombies away (or towards caltrops/nailboard traps you placed). Throw the smart lamp and activate it with Blue to act as a renewable flare you can turn off. You can mod ONE bomb/grenade at a time with red and explode dangerous enemies around corners with precision timing. Careful not to press red by accident though, it’s the default button when you activate the radio controls.
Speaking of nailboards/caltrops, those are my favorite weapon against unarmored zombies; they do not have any sense of self preservation, so they’ll just stomp the caltrops until they bleed out if they’re in a good spot or have an active noisemaker on them.
You can use permanent markers and pocket settings to make your inventory cleaner. I have an IFAK pouch attached to my backpack that I put a first aid kit in, which I can Open and Close to reduce menu clutter. Inside the first aid kit are ziploc baggies that whitelist one item each, all with maximum priority so that I can easily top off supplies between runs.
Molle storage is the best, be sure to remove all pockets from any zombo soldiers you defeat to grab specialized pockets for your gear.
