Another SOLID recommendation is Valheim, it has horror elements but isn’t really a horror game, still it is one of the better co-op open world games period.
Abiotic Factor fucking RULES. I’ve put quite a few hours into co-op and I don’t usually seek out co-op in games (I also have a single player world with a fairly extensive farm base). The early game has such an amazing aesthetic and vibe that you truly don’t know what you’re getting into, especially if you went in almost completely blind like I did.
Zomboid would be another obvious pick for me, although I still haven’t played co-op or multiplayer at all. I’m scared about servers not having certain mods I keep in my list I guess.
There are a handful of games out there that have tried to do some aspects of an Elder Scrolls game without doing the other parts badly. Dread Delusion is very much an exploration game, and it excels at that.
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 been playing QTR2 recently, which is a very good way to scratch the itch as well. Hyped to try the new Heretic episode “Faith Renewed” in re-release!
I’ve heard that there’s a huge market for Hidden Object games. Like, double-digit percentage of the market.
Often the “mainstream, hardcore soulslike” gamer section of the market that’s targeted for discussion only ends up being a part of it. Most people who have a family member with a PlayStation are more likely to have a row of the latest sports games than anything else popular.
Platform probably matters here. On mobile and lower-spec PCs, hidden object and puzzle titles dominate. If we split by platform, what would your top three look like?
