I don’t think I entirely understood what the hell was going on in Control but I really enjoyed playing it. The way they integrated Alan Wake into the story was brilliant.
Hopefully, this will be just as much fun to play and maybe even understand… 🤣
It’s kind of messy if you’re not already into the scp / weird fiction vibe, but I’d totally suggest looking into the lore of the series. It’s very good.
Yeah, I already was a fan of Fringe years ago and Stranger Things now, but reading Some SCP stories is what got me into this game. With those as background knowledge the story isn’t really that complicated.
Fuck yes, this show is amazing! Literally what got me into this genre. If anyone wanted to watch it and can’t find or buy it, hit me up. I will share it digitally.
A lot of the story only kind of makes sense because it’s deliberately about things that are beyond human understanding. You get the story mostly through the eyes of humans who understand most (but not all) of the “what is happening” but almost none of the “how” or “why”.
Interesting, I would love a service that periodically checks my wishlist in Steam to see which of them is available on GOG, but could not find anything, do you perhaps now something like that?
ITAD allows for wishlist (and collection) imports from both Steam and GOG. You’ll end up with a unified wishlist, where you can set specific rules to get notified when there’s a sale, including which specific stores have a game on sale.
That’s what I use to track any game I wishlist, with specific rules to notify me when said game is on sale at GOG.
Not an Epic exclusive on PC, yay! I'm sad that the masterpiece Alan Wake 2 was fucked over so much by not releasing on Steam, glad they aren't repeating that
Epic was actually the publisher (So no Steam) and gave Remedy free hands in development and funding. It took some time but the game is now making profit. Epic takes 50%.
Yeah, which means it will probably never be released on Steam, which is even worse than the timed Epic exclusives where they pay to keep games out of other store fronts for a year or whatever. Even Microsoft and Sony are rarely doing full exclusive releases like this anymore.
You'd think a developer as well known as Remedy would be able to find funding from a less restrictive publisher. Fucking Epic
I don’t get hyped for games anymore. I’m too old, I’ve seen too much and been disappointed too often. But did you just fucking seen that sheeeeeeeeeeeet!!!
At this point Remedy has my trust with these games.
At least when it comes to the single player games, I’m sure Firebreak was still cool but I didn’t really want to play that one since it was multiplayer focused.
Their single player story stuff though? I’m here for it always now. So long as Sam Lake is involved at least!
If you’re majorly sick, I recommend playing a visual novel. They usually do not require much movement or thinking on your part; most only need you to click your mouse or tap spacebar to advance. You can look up a VN that suits your needs here: Link If you want a VN that has a particular genre or theme I can give more specialized suggestions.
Aside from that, you can play some simple automation or puzzle games. territorial.io works well for this. shapez 2 is also a good option.
Chaos;Head is a visual novel I’m tempted to recommend specifically for this type of situation. The plot revolves around a protagonist with the power to make his delusions into reality. Lots of mind-fuckery. It’d probably be a trip to experience while sick.
It is. It’s actually the first entry in the Science Adventure series. Steins;Gate comes after, though it also works as a standalone story. Robotics;Notes has a lot more references to Chaos;Head.
I’d take you up on it, but I already have thousands of games in my backlog, so it’d be a waste of a key. But I wanted to let you know I appreciate you doing this for the community!
When I’m sick I often get nauseated, almost like vertigo. So my answer is none of them.
If I’m not nauseated, any of them. I play a lot of low-impact, easy games. Animal Crossing on the Switch is both of those, until you see a knee-high tarantula! (They are in the game and are big because they’re not to scale, like most of the bugs. They run away from you though… unless you have a net out, in which case they will attack! You can’t die in AC though, they just knock you out and you wake up in front of your house, no harm no foul.)
I play Blue Prince on Mac and on Xbox (it’s also on PlayStation and PC). It’s a puzzle game, kind of a deck-building (but not really) building game (also not really). It’s pretty unique. I absolutely suck at it, but I like taking a run every other day or so. It’s fun to fail at. You have to get to the 46th room of a house, but its 9x5 grid resets every day, and as you come to a door, you choose the room to “build” (or blueprint, the name is a pun) and when you run out of moves, you call it a day and try again the next (in-game) day. It’s weird but it’s pretty chill. There’s one scene where you think there will be a jump scare, but it never happens (entering the Security Room).
yeah, there are assorted encounter types you can be interrupted by, not all are bad but many are. some start unique quests.
The encounter often times is related to where you are, so if there is a bandits hideout in the woods near a place you’re fast traveling past they might hop out and try to rob you.
Or you might run into a weird person near a village.
Or you might just run into some dudes that wanna wrestle.
These people are in the world otherwise and you could run into them while not fast traveling too, but when fast traveling you’re not like to avoid “bad” situations
I like KCD for hardcore’s fast travel. There isn’t any. You have to learn the map and move your horse the old fashioned way with no compass and no map marker for Henry. It really immerses you and forces you to learn the map.
Hello, honestly I’ve been in a gaming rut. I’ve been playing Halo MCC with one friend group, and Peak with the other. I’ll take any shooter, open world game, or friend slop multiplayer game.
Edit: I got Prey! It’s actually one I had on my wishlist and was hoping it would be on a deep discount for the winter sale. Thanks again for the giveaway!
