One of my absolute favorite games despite the many frustrating moments. I hope you‘ll stick with it. The fun increases significantly once you get the hang of it.
I tried this a few years back, and while I enjoyed the concept on paper, in actual practice, I found it frustrating.
The main issue is I have no idea if someone is cheating. As much as something like a kill cam would ruin the immersion, it also would give me reassurance to know that the game is still fair.
I want to give it another shot one day and just try to accept that I have no idea if people are playing fairly lol.
Yup, though I want to add that SteamLink on android is a step further. I’ve exclusively been playing this way ever since.
You get the convenience of mobile with the power of your desktop, plus most phones have Oled screens these days so even better. Also why I don’t own a Steam Deck, as this is just the better option for portable gaming imo.
Any game. It’s a remote desktop app, basically. If it’s a steam game, it will come with a default phone touchscreen gamepad set up and usually there are also official and community layouts you can use. The layouts are… not as good as you might like, and I am frequently having issues with my custom ones disappearing or not loading. But it’s not the worst thing ever and I can play modded skyrim on my phone at work.
Non-steam games can be added to the steam library and you can manage their controller schemes the same way- sometimes they will even have community layouts available also. MMV with non-steam games. For example, Valorant won’t recognize my mouse click on my phone. And certain apps apparently force you into a “local input only” mode and might kinda break your setup until you play around with it a bit (don’t go into task manager lol).
But yes, you can also easily connect a bluetooth controller to your phone and any game that uses a controller works great.
Tic Tac Toe is still a pretty good time though. Legit that was how i killed time growing up, and even now, the number of spontaneous tic tac toe games i’ve started in games while playing with friends is pretty high
Honesty, i looked at my username and said that would be a good Scrabble word. then I wondered what other peoples names would score. Thought it would be fun.
I really enjoyed watching Oxhorn play Silent Hill 2 remake, well, once he stopped smashing windows obsessively. Also enjoyed games like The Quarry, Until Dawn etc but they might not be your type of thing.
For Dispatch-likes, perhaps other Telltale games would interest you. The Wolf Among Us was really good if I remember correctly. And the Walking Dead games were… a lot, emotionally, but good stories, the first one especially.
But gosh there’s just so many games out there. Maybe a Breath of the Wild playthrough would be up your alley.
A Hollowknight let’s play might be a bit boring, but I’m certain a lore video would be engaging.
Thomas Was Alone - that’s an older game so I couldn’t tell you if there’s any good videos of it, but it’s great.
Along similar old lines, BioShock games are good. And Dishonored in that same era/vein.
Killer Frequency might also be in the realm of Dispatch. Potentially Potionomics as well.
And any and all Supergiant games I think are great to watch or play. Loads of content in that company. And great songs :3
I think the Quantic Dream games (Detroit: Become Human, Heavy Rain, etc.) work well to watch since there isn’t much to miss out in the gameplay, mostly just walking, talking, and QTEs. The writing varies wildly in quality, so it’s often a MST3K-like experience with the game being mocked (at least ones I’ve watched), just depends whose playthrough you’re watching.
