I recently beat Antimatter Dimensions after coming back to the Reality update after a long while. There’s a lot of depth, especially in the new additions. I appreciate all the layers and addition of QoL upgrades.
Bitburner was fun as an incremental hacking sim. I haven’t played it for a while, but I find it really unique.
I haven’t found/heard of a good, meaty new game in a while. Recetly I’ve dug back into Leaf Blower Revolution but like a lot of incremental games it eventually devolves into having very specific strategies or goals.
My partner and I just finished the game a few weeks ago and were surprised at how good and memorable it is. There were like 5 times in that game where we were like “Wait, we’re not near the end?” and it was such a treat every time
MyHouse.wad. It’s astonishing that a fucking Doom level can do better environmental storytelling than most modern games. Don’t read much about it, just download it and play!
I also played Life is Strange: True Colors with my daughter and she was amazed at how a video game can just influence our emotions.
MyHouse.wad is definitely one of the better gaming moments from recent years. It reminded me a lot of imscared, and I’d consider that game to be secured in the top 100 games of all time. The environmental storytelling is top tier, and the natural unsettling nature is just great.
Life is Strange is also a great one. My little sister loves the series far more than me, but I also played Fahrenheit and The Walking Dead early in life, so I’d say I had high standards for those games. Would you say True Colors is worth checking out to someone that was lukewarm on the original? I love the style of game, but I’m not invested in the characters so it’d practically be my first introduction to the universe yk?
True Colors is great. It’s a little bit more personal and smaller in scope than the first two. For myself the first one is still my favourite with True Colors as a close second. If you were annoyed by the teenage drama of the first one then you should like True Colors more.
But if you’re looking for traditional adventure puzzles you will be disappointed. There are barely any in this game. It’s a more or less linear story where your relationships are more important than solving the mystery.
Yeah the teenage drama was what took me out of it. I don’t need super good puzzles, The Walking Dead season 1 had the most ass puzzles I’ve ever played but it’s still one of the greatest stories I’ve ever played. Even with the objectively shitty gameplay of TWD, I got so fucking invested in those characters. I felt Clementine’s pain during the ending of season 1 and 2, that was close to being my pick. Thank you for the recommendation!
The hilarious thing about My house.wad is that if you go in without knowing anything about it there's a relatively high chance you just complete the level normally and think "that's it? weird that had so much hype"
Open world RPG? They are probably the most common single player AAA experience released these days. Bethesda does work in a bit of “immersive sim” qualities to their games though, which is often what makes them feel so sand-boxy.
