The somewhat new Deep Rock Galactic: Survivors. Its a singleplayer 2D horde autoshooter version of the game, with the same design / voice acting as the main game but randomized runs where you find different upgrades and weapons leading to lots of cool valid builds to go for.
Its in Early Access rn but if they devs put 10% of the love they have for the main game into it, then it will only become greater. Its 9€ rn and the devs already released a roadmap with great future plans.
Yeah youre right, the original devs hired another team to develop survivors apparently, i didnt know that. However the publisher for survivors is “Ghost Ship Publishing” so i assume the creative direction is still heavily influenced by the ghost ship team but i have no idea if thats true.
Nice. I’m rooting for Survivor to succeed, from the sidelines.
I’m not going to bother while it’s single player, but I’m cautiously optimistic for a multiplayer variant of DRG:Survivor in the future, should they make one.
It strikes me that a DOTA style game, built for the DRG player base, could be a ton of fun, and Survivor might grow in that direction.
I can’t be bothered by most current DOTA clones because their communities are famously toxic. Of course, I’m sure there’s already exceptions, but I’m not so desperate for a DOTA that I’ll do the research.
In any case, bringing the DRG community to a DOTA clone sounds like a good time. So I’ll keep an ear out for how Survivor develops.
I’ve been playing the Pokemon X romhack Eternal X on my 3DS as of late. I’ve been really enjoying replaying the game now that it’s an actual challenge rather than sleepwalking through yet another cakewalk of a Pokemon game. Pleasantly surprised by Nintendo’s announcement of Pokemon AZ today, I just hope it runs halfway decent (who am I kidding?)
Picked up The Walking Dead Teltale game. I remember seeing them raved about when they came out but never got around to them. They are a lot of fun so far, I haven’t played any graphic novel type games before and I am really enjoying it
Is the stickied “What are you playing” post going to be updated? The current one is over a month old.
Anyways, I’ve been playing Penny’s Big Breakaway, and I am enjoying it thoroughly. It’s like a blend of Cappy mechanics from Mario Odyssey with a THPS style combo chaining system, and staged in levels reminiscent of 2D Sonic but transposed into 3D. The skill cap is way higher than your typical 3D platformer, and personally I find this type of design to be way more interesting than a collectathon.
It’s awesome if you get a lot of enjoyment out of combo chasing and improving your times, but I can tell it’s going to be divisive for those expecting a more conventional platformer. I have a feeling that this is going to end up on many “hidden gems” lists in the future.
Resonite. Lots and lots of Resonite.
The limitless power to create anything and everything in-game, and collaborate with others for still greater creations...
A buddy of mine gifted me a copy of Helldivers 2 the other day, so I've been spending some time spreading Managed Democracy across the galaxy. Mostly going back and forth between Helldivers and The Finals lately.
Yeah me and my buddy have been going back and forth between easiest mode and one notch up. Still a fun experience either way! Just a matter of if we want a more strategic challenge vs. being pew pew gods
At the moment i’m being totally sucked in to halls of Torment. Love combining different skills to make me a walking death machine!
Before that i finished playing Return monkey island and replayed monkey island 2: Lechuck’s revenge. Start playing Day of the Tentacle and couldn’t let it pass me to play Maniac mansion that’s you can play within the game. Still so cool that you can do that!
Monster Hunter World. I‘d kill for a DLSS3 and FSR3 mod for this game, I want better AA and frame gen so bad. I tried FSR3 in Skyrim and Starfield and it‘s mindblowingly good, so smooth.
