Waluigi Snap! Like Pokemon Snap! , but more of a stealth game where Waluigi creeps around taking candid photos of other characters. Bonuses I’d they successfully steal small trophies from the characters and sneak back to the white Waluigi Van undetected.
Thank you for putting so much effort into these posts. I rarely comment but I always read them. It feels like reading an informal short review of a random game every day, like having a friend telling me what they played the day before. Sometimes I even add the game to my wishlist.
I’m glad you like my posts! My goal was to introduce people to a new game every day. I have way too many games in my Steam library and I’ve barely played a quarter of them, so this forces me to try something new every day and share it with others.
I admire the effort you put into these posts. Thanks for the info about the discount, I played the pirated copy and am fine with paying $3 for this now.
I remember having been disappointed about the game as a terrible Lovecraft adaptation, but an ok game.
If you didn’t like it and want something I considered a good Lovecraft adaptation try Conarium.
I apparently have Conarium in my library already! I’ll have to check it out. Thanks for the recommendation!
Yeah, Call of Cthulhu is not really a Lovecraftian game. You could easily substitute any other creature and it would still play out the same. The only element of the old RPG game that really carried over is the sanity level. The tabletop game would have you roll for sanity checks every now and then and basically track your gain or loss of sanity, which could alter your character as the game progressed.
That, and the eldritch creatures, are about all these games share in common with each other, and both are very loosely based on the Lovecraft short story. So it’s about as far removed from an H.P. Lovecraft work as you can get.
Conarium is an interesting one. It’s a bit more walking sim than RPG, but there are different endings. I went through a Lovecraft video game kick a couple years ago too, lol.
I do want to try Old Gods Rising, but I just haven’t yet for whatever reason.
Same. I played it on Game Pass a couple years ago and actually got really into it. I had to make myself hunker down for the first encounter with the other, though.
Dude AW2 is fuckin excellent. I will admit to getting stuck on (what I imagine is) the final stand for Agent (can’t remember her name) by the lake. I went back to playing cyberpunk again because I’ve been playing it way too much.
Hell yes! Dude I still have been replaying it. And finding new stuff. That DLC, too! It’s so damn good. Glad you’re enjoying it! And I’m glad you remembered to let me know hah! I wish there were more games like this.
I saved your comment just so i could remember to update you. The game i don’t know if it’s the nature of the story or what, but Alan Wake 2 i can’t seem to want to leave. There’s just so much love and care put into it that everytime i go into it, i notice a new thing i didn’t before, whether it’s a little detail like the pages in the subway or a foreshadowing i missed the first time. I love it
This game is pretty demanding on steam deck, and I never got it to run in a way that was satisfying. If you have a more powerful PC, I’d try using moonlight to stream it instead
I ended up installing the FSR 3 mod for it, which helped performance a bit. The Steam Deck is my only gaming device though so i sadly can’t use moonlight
I missed that you’ve started on Alan Wake 2 now, but I’m glad you’ve got it running somewhat acceptably! It’s a very demanding game, when I first played it I didn’t have my new PC so I’m intimately familiar with struggling to be able to run it.
I’m glad you spotted the signs, I love the work on all the signs and graffiti in the dark place.
Loving it. I played a little bit on launch but put it on the shelf due to the performance (hoping updates would help) and I felt a little iffy on it due to how Alan was portrayed and the far more survival horror like gameplay. But since picking it up again it’s grown on me. I think if put against the First One/American Nightmare I don’t think I could pick a favorite. I love both for different reasons
It’s become one of my favourite games of all time, I think it’s a masterpiece. I love the Remedy connected universe, and as someone who played and loved Max Payne back in the day I got a huge nostalgia kick from the cameos in AW2. When you first see Casey in the Max Payne 1 outfit I squealed.
I also think Alice’s actress is absolutely killing it and am surprised she didn’t get more recognition.
up until recently Alan Wake was the only Remedy game i played. I picked up control and loved it and then recently played through Max Payne. I think it’s evolved from Alan Wake being my favorite game too Remedy being my favorite game studio. It makes me excited seeing how all these things connect together.
