v4ld1z, do games w Day 500 of posting a Daily Screenshot from the games I've been playing

Shadow of War is even better. Are you planning on playing that at some point too?

perfectduck,

What did you like about it? I ran out of steam when it felt like more of the same

v4ld1z,

It was quite some time ago when I played the game, so I might not remember everything.

  • The story felt like it was a good continuation of the first title and somewhat tied in to the books/movies.
  • The combat was fleshed out more with more moves and weapons
  • more interesting uruks, personalities, afflictions they can developed as a result of the way you killed them first
  • the sieges were a cool addition

It was definitely more of the same in a way but it was executed well. There was that whole controversy around real-money loot boxes to pull good uruks from that you could employ to guard your fort, in a way being pay 2 win if you had money to spend on loot boxes. But at least that was removed and made free.

I just realised the game came out like 7 years ago. Where does the time go…

You didn’t like the game too much, I take it?

I always hear people praise the Shadow franchise, and not to put Mordor down, but get the feeling War is the one everyone is talking about, so I do plan on playing it. I know a bit about it and it sounds like a lot of fun

v4ld1z,

It’s pretty much the same game but better. Mordor feels a little more dated in comparison, but it still stands on its own compared to War. If you liked Mordor, you’ll definitely like War even more

Here is a paid gem:

Idle of Arrows (Play Store)

Idle Elemental (Play Store)

Oddly satisfying. And has an ending.

I don’t play many Android games, and enjoy even fewer, but Hoplite is great. It’s pretty simple to play but still requires some thinking, which is what I want out of a mobile game.

Tessel is a beautiful tile puzzle game

Acamon, do games w DAE name their characters by their official name?

I like games where I name the main character, often the main character has a title or nickname that npcs use as well (the Dragonborn, the Avatar) but if I know they have a name in the story then it’s feels a bit weird to change it. So, Link is Link. But when I player Chrono Trigger for the first time recently I had (somehow) not heard much about it, so I renamed Crono (also it’s a horrible misspelling and kinda dull name, so happy to change it).

I would highly recommend Monument Valley (1,2 and 3 is coming soon) as far as puzzle goes, for a quick arcade fix, I like Breakout 71 (with rogue-lite elements) and all games by Arnold Rauers (Card Crawl being my favorite, but by a small margin).

Here’s a quick selection from the top of my head, if you want I can go throw my app history for a few more :)

original_reader,

Breakout 71 (F-Droid)

Will check it out.

original_reader,

Awesome.

Here is another that I found recently. Awesome little gem. Hoping it will get saving capability at one point, but it’s great as is:

Tessel (F-Droid)

I love puzzle games, either ones with an overaching story or standalone puzzles. I love the professor layton series Googke Play Store. I believe you should also check out Monument Valley Google Play link. If you’re looking for a FOSS option, there’s Simon Tatham’s puzzle collection F-Droid Link

RisingSwell, do gaming w How do you enjoy the sound of games?

Depends on the game. If audio is a huge part I use my headset, but most games I play these days I have on mute or close to (old school Runescape, Minecraft, TrackMania). Baldur’s gate 3 and counter strike 2 are both fine on my laptop speakers although they do fairly good directional audio as long as it isn’t in a horrible room for audio.

When I played Forza horizon that was mostly on mute too, or at least quiet enough to not be the primary audio.

I’ve tried using a headset for games but after like an hour or so it just feels like shit.

Arcade racers that aren’t just… Bad.

Burnout Revenge was a beloved game of my childhood. You had bonuses from wrecking your foes, got bonuses for creating wrecks, and for near death experiences. And there was an awesome mode where you would launch your car into a scene to cause as much damage as possible.

Midnight Club 2 where you could customize your cars and race them on fun tracks, but could also just beep around the open world.

Maybe it’s nostalgia, but I would love a fun racing game that doesn’t have a GTA attached to it.

Check out Trail Out.

ZoteTheMighty,

This is literally why people spend $500 on a switch 2; it has the only arcade racer on the market worth playing. If you don’t want a single-game console or Mark Kart isn’t whst you’re looking for, tough luck.

SlurpingPus, (edited )

SuperTuxKart is alright, from what I understand. They’re also making a new version apparently. Though I’m not into karting arcades, so dunno for sure how it compares.

SlurpingPus,

Try ‘Wreckfest’: it’s similar to ‘Burnout’, but with better physics. Also ‘Circuit Superstars’ for a top-down racer with decent physics, pit stops, and multiplayer.

There are also ‘The Crew 2’ and ‘The Crew Motorfest’, ‘Tokyo Xtreme Racer’, ‘Asphalt Legends’, ‘Formula Legends’, ‘iRacing Arcade’, and of course ‘Forza Horizon’ 4/5 — but I haven’t played any of these, so ymmv.

Split screen coop/multiplayer

Way too many games only let you do multiplayer with one player and have online only coop campaigns

Used to be pretty standard that a guest could play with you online

PeriodicallyPedantic,

The thing new games don’t have that I miss from old games is friends to play the game with 😭

  • an absence of quick-time events (I hate those things in cut-scenes, parry systems, etc.)
  • a mode that allows the player to destroy the environment, NPCs, etc. including, when on, making the game unable to be completed potentially. I think having that be a toggle will still allow people to relive older RPGs where you could easily ruin your life without knowing for hours.
  • Off-the-wall weapons. I think Blood 2 had a few and even halflife 2
  • Counting beyond 2, speaking of the above.
