Megabyte Punch is a side scrolling fighting game where you build your robot with different parts salvaged from fought robots that give you different abilities and powerups.

It is a super fast, casual game that you can bang out in a few nights. It has a pretty good electronic soundtrack, boss fights feel weighty even if they are relatively simple.

One of my favorite games as far as just fun and de-stressing!

NandGameis a browser puzzle game, where you start of by building basic logic gates from relays and progress from there all the way trough processor design to compiling high-level languages. It does not hold your hand too much, but the invidual puzzles progress so incrementally, it feels almost magical how easily you learn to build computers and compilers.

I recommend Scavenger SV4It’s a very unique game where you send a rover down to a planet to grab what alien artifacts you can before your radiation exposure gets past the point it can be treated. You can bolt some of them onto your rover to make it better and send it down again. It also has several hundred different endings that are decided by how much radiation you absorbed and how much loot and what loot you brought back.

Occult Crime Police is a fantastic free offering for those looking for a bit more Ace Attorney. It mostly follows the gameplay of Ace Attorney games, in which you investigate murder scenes involving strange, paranormal phenomena, and then discover contradictions in people’s witness accounts to uncover the culprit. It’s a bit easy, but maintains some great humor and charming animation production value.

This is SOLID GOLD holy shit

edit: OKAY I FINISHED THE FIRST CASE ABSOLUTELY PLAY THIS

Katana314,

Continuing this in the same thread as it’s a bit topical:

Are you a fan of Love Live! School Idol? Me neither! I basically knew nothing about it at all. Regardless, Gyakuten Live is an incredibly detailed cutesy Ace Attorney style game, in which the characters of the show gather for “school trials”. Though you may need to put up with a cutesier all-girl cast, and the stakes are much lighter and involve things like stolen possessions rather than murder, the mysteries end up having a surprising number of twists and even some heartfelt motives at the end. Features a fully custom soundtrack and LOTS of custom artwork, matched with some traditionally silly Ace Attorney humor.

So far, THREE cases are available, and each features a different prosecutor. The game’s page lists plans to continue up to 6 episodes.

In ItchIO’s standard, the game is “name your own price” - so you can choose to download it for free. It’s unlikely to come to Steam since it technically infringes on an anime/manga without permission.

One more coming if my AA recommendations are well received.

Katana314,

Adding one more to the Ace Attorney spinoff block:

Tyrion Cuthbert: Attorney of the Arcane is a well-written fan spinoff of the AA formula, taking place in a fantasy universe where magic is real, but mostly the domain of the nobility. Trials are a form of theatre, where the nobility knows how to tip the scale, but your mentor knows how to tip them back.

It introduces some very enjoyable mechanics, in which knowledge of each spell’s effects and conditions constitutes its own evidence. Tyrion bears his own magical ability that lets him view the thoughts of witnesses. He is also accompanied by the defendant of his first case, a mercenary-mage named Celeste, who gets a lot of investigation banter with Tyrion, much like Maya and Phoenix.

Five cases in all, and none of them are shortened crapshoot cases, nor is there a downer ending; all the major threads conclude with satisfying endings, and the developer hopes to make a sequel from the world they’ve built.

Oh, and as is common for AA games, take a listen to “Eye of Horus”, the game’s equivalent of the “Objection!” theme when Tyrion nails a contradiction. The game’s soundtrack as a whole has some real bangers, for both the high points and the emotional pulls.

Minishoot Adventures is a twin stick shooter with a 2D Zelda-style map.

For my it’s Bone’s Café.

Imagine overcooked but where you kill and use your customers as ingredients and can raise skeletons from the dead to automate as your chefs and servers. It’s overall a very well put together game, especially for one with 240 reviews (total)

store.steampowered.com/app/1739070/Bones_Cafe/

I haven’t played it couch co-op but the solo play has been really enjoyable

CrystalRainwater,

I also really enjoyed cult of the lamb: store.steampowered.com/app/…/Cult_of_the_Lamb/

It’s a game where you are a little sheep creature that runs a cult. It’s a mix of a management game and a roguelike since you go on runs to fight the games main bosses and get items to bring back to improve your cult.

Art style kinda reminds me of Klei’s Don’t Starve and is probably one of the most impressive parts of the game

Though this one is more well known. Still, I hadn’t heard of it before so I think sometimes games with even a big following like this one can stay off the radar a bit unless they are truly massive.

CrystalRainwater,

Dog Brew is also really good store.steampowered.com/app/2883280/Dog_Brew/

It’s a cute game where you are a dog that brews beer. The game isn’t complicated and its pretty short in playtime but it’s $3.50 without a sale and its both cute and fun so I think it’s very worth.

CrystalRainwater,

Heretics Fork is a really good deckbuilding tower defense game store.steampowered.com/app/…/Heretics_Fork/

The hell theme is cool, the cards are interesting as well as the characters you can play and overall just a really high quality game that’s underappreciated.

CrystalRainwater,

I also have a bunch more since I was just looking through my steam library so if anybody likes mine I can definitely drop more

CrystalRainwater,

Oh wait I forgot my favorite of all. Although idk how popular it is because its not on a standard platform

Starsector: fractalsoftworks.com

This game is incredible. Genuinely like probably the best game I’ve ever played. It simulates an economy fairly accurately (using the different colonies outputs and inputs to determine prices dynamically). In addition to this colonies can be hurt by you or other parties, affecting the prices of items on the market significantly so you can try to make your money on this margin.

There’s space fleet battles with a complex ship modification system. There’s colony management, it has an interesting early game and it keeps your interest as you get further in the game with new challenges.

It is $15 dollars and is technically in early access (which tbh is a steal). Though in practice my experience with it is not remotely reflective of it being early access. It’s a little like how dwarf fortress was in early access (although unlike df before the steam launch there is a frontend that’s really solid).

A small and simple semi-idle frog collecting game where you simply collect rare frogs and let them generate buckaroos so you can collect rarer frogs. There’s a free demo that got me hooked to occasionally logging on and collecting more frogs.

Cleaning the System is a platformer where you jump through levels as some kind of pogo stick. The movement is really fun and if you bounce well you can build up a lot of momentum, which lends itself to speedrunning.

There is also a free version of it from the GMTK game jam where it placed very well

I see you are doing some downvote farmin’ today!

Is a good game, especially with mods.

Nurse_Robot,

Gotta try everything once

JackbyDev,

Literally the only game I’ve heard of on this thread so far lol.

mrvictory1,

Tell us some obscure mods

Nurse_Robot,

To be honest, I lost interest in Minecraft about 10 years ago, and never played with mods. I’ve seen some hilarious playthroughs on YouTube though, I really enjoyed the custom animations RubberRoss made.

RandomVideos,

Hexcasting is a cool minecraft mod about hex casting

Im not sure if its obscure, but hexal should be

Nito,

Joke’s on you, I even contributed to hexcasting

But how about the Infinity matter dominator sword mod? It contains some of the most convoluted and basically unachievable crafting recipes Ive ever seen, just scroll down and enjoy the ride

Nuke_the_whales, do games w What are some game series you would like to see revived? And if possible, which entry should the new game follow from?

Not “revived” since it’s still going, but I wish the mega man series would modernize. It’s 2024, I get side scroller was megaman’s thing but how I would love a modern, ratchet and Clank style platformer/open world where you go to different parts of the city to fight the different robots. But Capcom and most Japanese game companies are insanely opposed to modernizing and of making their games look current. Graphics wise they’re always outdated

CodexArcanum, do games w Visions of Mana - Review Thread

I started a replay of Legend of Mana a while back. I love that game so much, but I haven’t been keeping up with the new releases. I know they did a big remake of SD3 not too long ago, and now a big new game! Anyone playing it?personal thoughts?

simple,

I haven’t played it but there is a free demo for it if you’d like to check it out yourself.

svtdragon, do games w What are some game series you would like to see revived? And if possible, which entry should the new game follow from?

The Darkness.

Also, Prototype, but someone already mentioned that.

Midnitte, do gaming w Just finished Alan Wake 2

Perhaps someday it’ll come to Steam so I can enjoy it. :/

@blackris@discuss.tchncs.de avatar

Oh man, wanted to play AW2 someday. I didn’t know it was only on Epic. Fuck those guys.

Midnitte,

Yea it’s just dumb and a waste of effort imo (Epic should focus on actually providing a functional store first, not second)

Supposedly Control 2 at they very least should be on Steam…

chloyster,

Alan Wake 2 was published by and likely would not exist without Epic. It is unlikely it will come to steam

TachyonTele,

Is Control on steam? I have the GoG version. But that game is “multiplatform” then Alan Wake very well could be too

chloyster,

Control is on steam because it was published by 505 games.

Don’t get me wrong I’m anti epic buying exclusivity for games. But like if they fully funded the development and published it…

TachyonTele,

Ah gotcha. Thanks. I was assuming it was the same publisher .

And I agree with you. It’s been like that for forty years. I never understand why people get so upset over it recently.

Midnitte,

Epic would make more money selling it on Steam :/

chloyster,

Oh for sure I definitely agree there haha. As far as software is concerned I don’t like the epic store. Steam is much better on that front. But I also don’t have any true moral issue with the epic store. Especially for playing a game they funded. Epic also funded and published the Alan Wake remaster. They effectively were able to bring back a long dormant series, and for that I am happy since Alan Wake 2 ended up being one of my all time favorite games.

I wish they didn’t have to keep it in their store, since I like steam more, but at the end of the day I’m not too bothered by it
