Andor’s Trail, it’s barely recogniseable as a “phone” game, other than that it does indeed run on phones. I don’t remember if it had ads or anything, been taking it from phone to phone for over 10 years now. I don’t think it had ads or anything. It’s open source, but has a pretty consistent feel despite having like 50+ contributors so far.

It’s an adventure RPG. The low level experience might be best with a bit of grinding, but… casual grinding… lol. I kind of just wander around collecting “meat” until I feel strong enough to leave the areas near town and set out on the rest of the adventure. But there has been alot more work around town since the last time I started a new character. So it might feel more natural now.

Got some stuff in my cart, but need to play some demos first before I hit the “buy” button. Surprisingly quite a few games I’m interested in have one available, which is nice.

In the meantime, I’ve started Case of the Golden Idol because I loved Return of the Obra Dinn and I know it’s highly recommended for fans of that.

Don’t know if I’m really feeling this as much, though. I’ll carry on, of course, because I still enjoy the detective puzzle aspect. But it isn’t drawing me in the way Obra Dinn did for some reason.

I've been working my way through the Baldur's Gate series after putting about ninety hours in BG3. BG1 was fun even if the story was a bit predictable and generic, although it did feel like playing through a DnD campaign. Really enjoyed Shadows of Amn, but Throne of Bhaal just turned into a slog at the end. I think the most interesting part of playing through the trilogy was watching Bioware's style develop over the course of the three games. As someone who was introduced to Bioware through Knights of the Old Republic and Jade Empire I've always thought Bioware's character writing stood out, especially in the old days, so it was a bit jarring to play through BG1 where the companions feel more like hirelings you pick up for their class rather than full-fledged characters. BG2 felt more like a classic Bioware game with banter, romance, and companion quests, although the Real Time advancement system kept glitching out on me. I was hoping to move on to Planescape: Torment after TOB, but I'm feeling burnt out on Infinity Engine games. So right now I'm trying to find something in the Summer Sale to serve as a palate cleanser.

Still Pokemon Red. I’m beginning to regret my choices. The choice to include Blue-exclusives, and trade evolutions, because PKHex makes it so easy to do. The choice to try to keep a selection of various typings caught up in level, so I’d have some decent coverage versus brute forcing.

Having the trio of starters. I think I’ve grown to hate Bulbasaur, at this point. Every time I go to drop him into my party, all I can remember is “Not very effective”, over and over again. Well into the 20s, still taking 2-3 Vine Whips to take out a level 6 Kakuna.

Renacles, do gaming w Are there any "Mostly Positive" games on Steam that you really enjoy?

Mostly positive usually just means it’s not for everyone, just look at Shadow of the Erdtree.

turbowafflz, do gaming w Are there any "Mostly Positive" games on Steam that you really enjoy?

Robocraft used to be good, but I don’t know if it being rated mostly positive and being good ever overlapped

turbowafflz,

Update, I just played Industria which is rated mostly positive and it was so good. I’ve always wanted a game that felt like Simon Stålenhag’s art and Industria really does

fhein, do gaming w Is there an app where to mark games that I want to play and have played? Like goodreads but for games?

I use www.criticker.com for movies because it has a really nice recommendation algorithm based on your personal scores. They also have a section for rating games but I haven’t tried that part

  • kindenough,

    True the settings in the app look a lot cleaner then in the standard control panel.

    Like experience, the new app phones home a lot too. I blocked most of it with a pihole though but I probably going to uninstall again, just tried it this morning. Normally I extract the display drivers from the Nvidia installer by opening the exe file with 7zip. It is just an archive, no need for NVCleanstall.

    FeelzGoodMan420,

    Yea, no thx. I’ll stick with the old control panel until they kill it for good. I’ve heard nothing but bad things about the new app. Don’t fix what ain’t broken.

    trailers always make a game look good, that's their job. when it's released, if it really is any good, you'll hear about it if you keep an eye out!

    Telorand, do gaming w Multiplayer Arcade-Style Indie Game Recommendations?
    • Castle Crashers is a classic multiplayer beat-em-up. Plays great on Proton (if that’s important).
    • Lost Castle is in a similar vein, though more roguelike.
    • River City Girls (and sequels) is either great arcade brawler.
    • Neurovoider

    Great indie co-op games:

    • Deep Rock Galactic. No split screen, but endlessly repayable with goals and targets in each mission. Also fun in solo.
    • Caveblazers
    • Guacamelee
    • Tunche

    Upcoming games to consider:

    • Wizard of Legend 2
