Unfortunately so much stuff on the web is astroturfed it’s hard to form a good opinion nowadays.

Even the products reviews or maybe especially these it’s hard to tell what is true nowadays and what is fiction or misinfo

Id love to brush it off and say eh just paranoid but there’s real money and motive.

Reddit was relatively good for some time but then I heard it’s already full of marketing

Rozumiem, że “dokończ płatność” to link do strony, co Ciebie okrada? Zgaduję, że nie tylko na riseup to idzie, ale wszędzie. Wydaje się to prawdopodobne, bo na riseup prawie nikt się nie nabierze na to, że jest właścicielem domeny. A jak podobny e-mail pójdzie na kontakt@mojafirma.waw.net.com.pl, to jest pewnie ze 30% szansy, że trafi do osoby co za to odnawianie jest teoretycznie odpowiedzialna.

They are hidden, so I don’t know about them. Sorry I couldn’t be of more help.

I wouldn't be surprised if there's a patent Microsoft just hasn't been willing to license use of.

I remember when the Sixaxis came out. It was missing vibration. It was because Immersion sued Sony (and ultimately won) over patent infringement of rumble motors. Sony ended up having to pay somewhere around $100 million.

Shadow of the Forbidden Gods - a strategy game where you play as the ancient cthonic entity waking up because the stars are right. Set in a fantasy world where the forces of good slowly become aware of the coming apocalypse and attempt to forestall your return. You have to get past the janky UI and some dreadful AI art, but the gameplay is unique and satisfying.

Blasphemous.

Fantastic metroidvania meets soulslike game. The art style, the lore, the atmosphere, and by God - the music!

The combat is not super great, but it’s capable enough for a metroidvania.

I haven’t played the second one, I hear it’s kinda hit and miss.

ExLisper,
kaosof,

As far as I know, a ton of stuff in the game is based on Spanish folklore etc as well.

learningduck,

The first one also meh at releast until several patches later. The second one is on the easier side as the penitent one is now more agile.

I got this game recently since I got hooked hard on Dead Cells, and needless to say combat was the disappointing part. Coming from DC it feels so rigid and limited, needlessly punishing. But I got the game for art, so that part is great. It’s also weirdly poorly optimized. They made the whole game in one resolution and are scaling everything, like whole screen. So your choice of resolution might end up weirdly stretched. An odd decision.

Black Souls 2

Starsector: It’s an Elite style open world space game. What makes it special is that it’s been in constant development for over a decade and has a crazy number of ships, weapons, lore and features. And a vibrant modding scene.

Also the devs are vehemently against DRM, so the only place you can buy the game is their own website. Or not buy. They put the full version up for anyone to download.

I’ll have to check that out. An indie game in a very similar vein is Evochron Legends. It’s available on Steam, too. I have a couple of hours in it, but it’s been a while since I last checked it.

Shadows of doubt is a sandbox detective game. You are a detective and you have to solve crimes, which are totally randomized. What makes this interesting is that the world does not stop:

  • the NPCs actually have daily routines
  • the murderer might not stop killing
  • you can talk with anyone
  • and so much more

It is truly a sandbox! I havent played it too much yet, but i feel if i really start playing it, then i will skip going to bed!

Zahille7,

I bought that game a while back, but I couldn’t get into solving anything. Maybe I was just playing it wrong or something.

I mean, if Josh from Let’s Game it Out fucked around nonstop in almost every possible way and still “solved” a case, I doubt you could be playing the game wrong 😆

Null Gravity Labyrinth for everyone who likes labyrinths

Dominions (Dominions 6 just came out, but it’s an iterative game so try 4 or 5 first)

So it’s like civilization and battle simulator had a baby, where armies are managed by the unit and there are simulated battles of thousands.

But all the civs are loosely based on different existing mythologies and there’s a crazy complex magic system

Oh, and you get to create a god that you can totally battle with.

If you like civ-like games, it’s a really unique and satisfying twist on the genre with an incredible amount of sheer depth.

LBreakout[1] is the best Arkanoid clone, period. There has been many attempts by Taito (or Square Enix by proxy) to reboot the franchise but each of their releases just flopped terribly because they keep removing features that people come back to Arkanoid for (the latest PC release, Eternal Battle, has no level editor). In similar vein is Apotris[2] (whose developer is being hunted by the Tetris Company like a fugitive the last few months) is the greatest iteration of Tetris IMO, and it is open-source and developed by a one-man team.

taanegl, do games w Callenges of implementing Blockchain Technology in Gaming

Listen, if you use the blockchain in a utilitarian way, say like the Chinese using it to track produce from farm to retail, then I can understand.

A couple of examples that does NOT rely on use of money or "micro transactions:

  1. Decentealised game server - using blockchain “transactions” to confirm character progression without the need for a central server to
  2. A save file sharing network - each transaction is a new save state, that is almost archived on a decentral basis

Can’t think of anything else, because mostly, I hate micro transactions in games. It’s made games worse. It’s all just a bunch of exploitation and FOMO.

If that’s how you want to use the block chain, then fuck you.

Sincerely.

germtm_, do games w Games that force you to make hard choices

Spec Ops: The Line is a pretty decent pick when it comes to having “morally ambiguous choices”. the game itself states that there are no “real good choices” and thus, you must pick between the two evils.

Donjuanme,

That was what I was going to recommend as well!

ryathal,

The right choice is to just stop, but this is a phenomenal game that should be experienced by more people. Just don’t let kids play it, it’s very much an adult game.

I scrolled too much to see this one.

@flumph@programming.dev avatar

I saved your post to try out the game. Sadly, it appears that it’s being erased from the Internet.

Spec Ops: The Line … has been delisted from Steam, with other online stores to follow.

germtm_,

that’s very unfortunate, curse you, licensing shenanigans!
