I guess I should finally finish the first one, huh? Good game, but I guess I got bogged down 3/4 through it trying to figure out the story and some of the harder secrets. Probably should have just pushed through because I enjoyed the main puzzles way more.
Yeah, I am 3/4 through the dlc so only zone 4 and secrecy zone left. Actually the 1st zone is harder than 2/3 combined with the recorder device star puzzle. The rest I just go through pretty easily. Hopefully secret zone is harder than 1.
Having only really heard the name tossed around a couple times, I don’t know much about them but the trailer for this new one piqued my interest. Is it an action adventure game or more like a point and click style puzzle game?
It’s a first person puzzle game. You move around the world interacting with various elements, such as laser redirection, to obtain the keys needed to progress. There’s an interesting story going on at the same time, which although I didn’t find it super compelling, it was good enough to keep my attention to the end.
Portal (1 and 2) and The Talos Principle are the only puzzle games I've played that not only had a story, but also managed to make the puzzle gameplay actually make sense within the story. Like, there is an in-universe explanation for why you are solving puzzles. I'm sure there are other games that do it, but those are the only ones I've played and they were fantastic. That's a hard thing to pull off -- how do you make a compelling narrative, complete with characters, around "moving some boxes?"
Looking forward to playing the sequel. Also, the original is $3 on Steam right now!
I don’t see how anyone can consider the sound puzzles in the jungle, the Tetris piece puzzles in the swamp and the color theory puzzles in the greenhouse the same kind of puzzle and be arguing in good faith.
The game has multiple “endings”. My only advice: Don’t start a second playthrough or browse any online communities until you’ve reached the credit scroll. I wish someone had told me that before I started…

That observation actually made me go through my library looking for more examples and, yeah, it’s surprisingly few. There’s ‘The Entropy Centre’, which also falls into the “You’re a test subject” category. Other than that there’s the Zachtronics games, where the reason for puzzle-solving is because it’s your work.
In Zachtronics Infinifactory, the setting is that aliens have kidnapped you and force you to build things for them, in return for kibble and other things humans like, such as a little league third place trophy. Always enjoyed that.
Steam complains that the platform is unsupported. So maybe a dumb question, but how do you get the demo?
edit: found it. Steam>Settings>Compatibility>“Enable Steam Play for all other titles”. My bad, I only just decided to make the jump to linux gaming about two weeks ago so this is all new to me.
I don’t think I’ve seen a lot of overlap from the titles I get on GamePass and the ones I get from Humble monthly. I do have a lot of overlap from Humble and the ones I have already bought, though, which is always a bummer. Each time, I have to remind myself that I enjoyed that game and it was worth the price at the time.
For those saying it’s like satisfactory. Actually, it draws much inspiration from fortress craft evolved. At least game mechanics wise. But foundry seems to be much more polished, plus they add their own twists to the formula. I wouldn’t dismiss it just based on the looks.
FES wasn't a remake, just additional content re released. I would much rather it was included in this new version of the game, but bringing 3 "up to scratch" with where 5 put the series would require a huge revamping of the game, so I can accept FES being additional content later. I'd rather DLC than a new version of the game, though.
I’m talking about a future FES Remake. I’d rather if it was DLC too, but if Persona 5 Royal wasn’t, then I’m not counting on it.
Adapting straight to FES would have taken just a little more effort than the overall remake did, so I’m distrustful of why they have done it like this.
Ahh, your wording of "re releasing the remake" confused me.
I feel the only reason Atlus is doing it this way is because they can squeeze more money out and that they've set the precedent since Persona 3, so the worst people can say is "they've been doing it this way since the PS2"
