The price is too high. They are going to sell skins and characters. The game is going to be fluffed with open world sections instead of actual content. I probably won’t enjoy it.
I couldn’t get into Stranded Deep, granted I think I demo-ed it like 2-3 years ago but at the time it was just janky feeling and the gameplay intro was really rough and confusing.
Definitely get what you mean by the jank. Apparently the studio is working on a second one so hopefully starting from scratch they’ve learned their mistakes and can remove a lot of the Jank
Zomboid is a great super tedious game, the biggest issue with playing is having to know you personally need to know how something works for the game to let you do it.
we almost did Zomboid but I had to reinstall it lmao. It’s a little difficult for a first Survival game imo. The very early game, at least for me, was a lot of micromanaging. Having a second player made it a bit more bearable, but it’s still pretty rough
Latching on to your Lovecraftian recommendations I’d like to put forth Skald: Against the Black Priory, which should presumably also run excellently on the Steam Deck. Keep an eye out for it during the sale, it’s a great tribute to retro CRPGs and has a wonderfully gloomy lovecraftian vibe.
You’ll like it I think, I played it earlier this year and absolutely loved it. Great vibe, good story, beautiful pixel art and a great retro feel without the clunk of actual retro games 😄 Cool world building too.
Ahh good old times, jumping from building to building like hulk. It had good story too which I didn’t appreciate the first time I played cause I was young and couldn’t understand it fully.
Riders Republic is so much fun. It has a relatively low skill floor but also a really high skill ceiling. Go watch some stunt clips to see just what you can pull off.
The different sports are a lot of fun and honestly what other game lets you transition from Skateboard to BMX to Jetpack in a span of a few seconds.
Only downside is that the more fun sports are locked behind a DLC purchase but it goes on sale quite frequently.
Played a few hours of Last of Us 2 last night. Ran pretty well (80-100fps) on highest settings in native 1440p but with a 7900 XTX I can of course just brute force through it.
Surprisingly, the game ran flawlessly out of the box. Didn’t need to add the SteamDeck=1 variable like in the other newer Sony games.
Does not run with Proton-Tkg for some reason, so no HDR for now.
if you haven't, please play just cause 3. it is genuinely one of the greatest games ever made and the entire premise is: ok here's your grappling hook, parachute, wingsuit, bombs, and guns, now go blow up every thing and/or person with red on it. there is a story (and it's decent) but who cares, you upgrade your shit by doing cool stunts and the main mode of progression is a how-much-shit-have-you-blown-up-in-this-area meter.
I can’t even play JC4 because JC3 was just so good. Why the hell did they change the formula in 4? The missions are boring as hell in 4. They kept the “fight these guys,” “open these doors,” “release these prisoner” missions, but I have yet to be tasked with destroying, well, anything. 😮💨
The only thing in 4 I liked more than 3 was that the rocket things you can stick on stuff can be used multiple times and don’t automatically explode, so you can use them to fly a car without fear of blowing up.
JC3 is fun to just spend hours dicking around in, or seriously investing it with the gameplay. It’s honestly amazing how good of a game they made around the concept of “blow up some shit, and then blow up some more shit”
true, and it looks that good without trying to shove raytracing and stuff like that down your throat so it runs smoothly on real computers and not just Nvidia's latest cash grab.
