I see Outer Wilds here but not Nioh 2, so I’m posting about Nioh 2.

Soulsian adventure with ninja gaiden blood, extremely high amount of endgame content, wild depth of character building, lots of avenues to increase your character’s power with many “correct answers” to the question of “how should I make my dude stronger”. Dropped a while before the most recent push for graphical fidelity with AI upscaling/antialiasing so it actually runs well on a large majority of steam hardware surveys machines.

It’s hard early on, but provides the player with tons of options when it comes to progressing through stages and bosses, flexible movesets for each class of weapon and access to potent tools like Gun and turning into an enemy that killed you a dozen times the first time you saw it briefly. The endgame goes beyond replaying through the game into dungeons made of fragments of the stages and some more unique maps (The Abyss). There’s a hefty amount of individual bosses to learn, and incentive to do some of the more fun fights in the game multiple times - a lot of which do not require a run back through a stage to get to them. The game does itself a service by breaking up gameplay into chunks with a world map you launch missions from, some of which are just a singular straight up boss fight.

BlameTheAntifa,

Nioh 2 is one of my favorite soulslikes, but falls short of masterpiece in my opinion due to the repeatedly recycled levels.

homicidalrobot,

Have you played the mainline souls titles? The NG+ system in Nioh 2 leads out into new unique maps (The abyss) rather than being the same game with revamped enemy placement and health nine times lol.

If they force you to buy the items they are, by definition, necessary (in context of the game that is).

But are there actually games that do this? Mostly they give you the tokens needed for free to goad you into playing the game ‘for free’ and extort you later on as the game gets increasingly unplayable without buying the stuff.

I’m sure I could beat the piano guy in Luigi’s Mansion 3 if I played it enough times, but it’s not nearly fun enough for me to stick to it

Then play something else. These are RPGs. You’re supposed to immerse yourself and play the role. Are you a Khajiiti Skooma fiend who the Emperor stumbled upon that then goes on a wacky series of adventures? Did you say screw Jaffre and head straight to Kvatch cuz that’s where your plug lives and end up going into literal hell to save him? Eventually becoming The Hero of Kvatch?

Did you parlay your new found fame into new found money which you used to greatly expand your skooma consumption? Along the way becoming leader of guilds and the avatar of a God?

Or did you mainline the golden path. Decide this is ass and dip because you have no imagination?

You get out of these games what you put in. My favorite skyrim playthrough is one without weapons. I use a mod called “Wandering Thuum Practitioner” and Ordinator. Those two will make you as near as possible a lore accurate user of Shouts. Don’t need weapons. Something attacks you? Burp it to death. Shout it off a mountain. Roast it to ash. Because you were given some training in the Thuum by a former Greybeard who for whatever reason left High Hrothgar long ago. What are the odds that the old man would find The Last Dragonborn potentially decades before they were needed and gave them a boost.

But yes. They have fallen off. Starfield was fine. Once. The whole starborn plot was a waste of time. In my opinion. The shine falls off a multiverse real quick when there’s no difference between the universes. I know what they expected. They gave modders all the room they’d ever need and then some to spread out and build anything they wanted. They expected modders to fill up the game. They got complacent that the modders would always be there to do what people with deadlines and budgets cannot. And I wish they had. I no-lifed Starfield when it came out. Loved it. But by my 2nd trip through the unity I was pretty much done with it. There was nothing else to see. No variation in the multiverse. Outside of The Lodge anyway. And they could have saved it with that first DLC. The potential was there. All they had to do was give us more about who came before us through The Unity. Some info about those who built it or discovered it. Advanced alien civilization or some cosmic god. Something. But no. We got human incompetence run amuck. That shit is boring. And it was boring. There was no grand mystery to solve. No clues to a greater understanding. Just nothing of consequence. So it flopped.

The next remake tho. Fallout 3. Oh that mfer is gonna do NUMBERS. You hear me?! We’ve been begging for a sequel to 3 or a remake for 20 years. Then after that I swear to Robert Edwin House’s ghost they better do New Vegas.

NES Adams Family game.

My cousins had it, so I couldn’t try later.

The freezer level.

I suck at platformers, always have, but the slippery change to traction fucked me over hard and I could not adapt.

Then their dog got out and that crisis took over.

I’m playing World of Goo, a physics game from 2008 that I bought in a Humble Bundle forever ago.

I tried it again on a lark and it holds up, I got sucked in. Classic physics game. One level takes me less than 15 minutes to complete, but it varies significantly.

There are interesting conflicting pressures in the game: you want to build with as little as possible, because the building material are your little dudes you’re trying to get to safety. Gravity exists, and weight distribution matters: sometimes you must harness this fact to win.

Some levels are about building methodically, carefully choosing where to use the corpse of a sacrificed little dudes, because it is an immutable choice.

Other levels are about dynamics and timing, and you can get tantalizingly close to saving your entire team in these levels.

Its old, its cheap, it should run on most things1. Strong recommend.

MY_ANUS_IS_BLEEDING,

That game was so much fun though! I remember it having a really weird 2 player mode where you each get to control half of the guy.
