Someone mentioned SpaceBourne 2 in another thread the other day, so I checked the reviews which made it sound like a pretty good game and it was on sale so I bought it.
Mechanically, it’s awesome. Polish wise… It needs work. Text-to-speech voice overs (which I hope are placeholders because they are jarring as fuck), kind of a mishmash of aesthetic design that makes me think the assets are merely freebies on the Unreal store, just missing that general pizazz that shows off the quality.
Not that it takes away from the fun, which is the most important part. The best way to even describe the game is “Mount & Blade in space.” It combines some of the best aspects of Elite Dangerous, X3/X4, NMS, and Stellaris into its own thing, and it is super cool to play if not look at (though the crazy set piece things in the MQ are super fucking cool; like being eaten by a space kraken and then escaping in a smaller ship while avoiding thousands of little squiddy things, and they’re actually there not like some BS particle effect or optical illusion).
I already own the game so this is more of a reccomendation.
Civ6 is only £5 right now and all the dlc only costs £20 in the bundle. It’s an easy game to reccomend for anyone who is even a little interested in strategy games.
Decided to finish up my Mimimi collection now that they’re shutting down and I’m now in full stealth tactics mode.
I’ve been playing Shadow Gambit: The Cursed Crew and man, I never realized how much I miss tactical stealth games. Having so much fun.
Immediately made a beeline for the Yuki (from Shadow Tactics) DLC as soon as the option opened up.
Love that rascal and her having adopted Kuma is just perfect.
It has a super varied cast of characters as well, and I haven’t unlocked them all yet, but enjoying the ones I have so far.
I also find it kind of funny how “save-scumming” is treated as an integral mechanic in the game. Like, you don’t have to do it at all, but if you want to, the game encourages you to enjoy it and not feel bad about it as long as you’re having fun.
I got This is the Police a while back but finally installed it. Surprisingly engaging given how it forces you to be a corrupt and shitty cop to survive. Feels like copaganda, but thankfully I can separate fiction from reality.
A few searches turned up that it’s pretty legit. Pay with a credit card so that you’re protected though. You have no idea what happens to that info after you enter it.
Picked up Dave the Diver because everyone keeps saying it’s amazing. Sure enough, it’s addictive and definitely worth the $13. It hits the Stardew Valley type of gameplay loop and has been perfect on Steam Deck. I’ve got about 6 hours into it in 2 days.
I may still grab Marble It Up because I loved Marble Blast Ultra on the 360 back in the day.
In this game you play as an alligator who is an investigator (they rolled with that pun) who throughout the game does various puzzles and gets into fights. It’s not egregiously long and has multiple endings that change depending on your actions, all of which allow you to unlock the true ending, I guess. I have only gotten a single ending, so I don’t know what all the endings are.
It has an easy, normal, and hard difficulty which change the fight difficulty. It says relaxed (easy) difficulty is for those who are just there for the story and puzzles, so I’d assume it might either make the fights ridiculously easy or skip them. No clue since I jumped in straight away on hardcore.
I personally found most of the characters besides one certain robot to be enjoyable. The characters are also fully voiced (English only as of now), but there are 10 other languages for the text. Everything said will pop up in a dialogue box you have to click through, so you can’t miss any dialogue unless you purposefully skip through all of them. Even if you do, afterwards you can open the pause menu and find a transcript of all the dialogue, too.
The game also has a demo for the first chapter, so you can play that and see if it’s a game you would actually buy. Currently it’s $13.99 for the base game or $19.05 for the game alongside the official soundtrack and an artbook. If nothing else, I at least recommend looking up the soundtrack piece Brok and Graff, which is my personal favorite song in the whole entire game.
