For a long time I’ve thought we just need a left hand joystick to pair with mouse. Could still have a thumb hat too. It would probably break my brain trying to mix all the different muscle memory maps though.
Yeah the thumb stick is what sold me on that azeron but now I’m wondering what my fingers are going to do if they aren’t on w a s d at least for fsrthest frontier it’s mostly wasd and mouse clicking so I guess I’ll just now use all the shortcut keys instead of moving the mouse to the build buttons and all that all the time
Is there transit on both ends as one of the challenges with rail in NA is once you arrive at your destination, it can be hard to make that last mile or so transit. It also has to be as fast or faster overall than driving and it has to be cheaper as people will just default to cars again. That has been my experience living in cities around the world.
Last summer I got one year of gamepass for free with the MS rewards program (before it was nerfed into oblivion), and I played a grand total of… Three games on it. Maybe four? Gaming doesn’t excite me like it used to. It’s not that good games aren’t released anymore. I guess I just got older and my taste changed.
I bought Golf with Friends and gifted another copy to a friend of mine, just to spend some good time with them. Nothing else really excites me.
Undertale. I was blown away by the soundtrack and the cleverness of it all. The twist was good too, but I hated the total completion grind a bit. But it is optional.
Crypt of the Necrodancer. Again, blown away by the soundtrack and how confidently it pulled off the idea of a rogue-like rhythm game.
Insurgency: Sandstorm. This might be stretching the concept of “indie” a bit, but its predecessor was definitely an indie game. This is an excellent arcade/realistic FPS shooter.
+1 for Insurgency. It’s more “mid shelf” than “indie”, but either way it’s an absolutely superb military shooter, and one that actually does a really good job of avoiding the usual MURICA bullshit that is so endemic to the genre. Combat is portrayed as genuinely scary. The voice actors all do an amazing job of displaying fear and panic in their line reads. Even the Russian voice is very obviously masking his fear behind a veneer of machismo, which is a refreshering change from the usual image of the macho badass soldier that these games present.
I also really appreciate that female characters are present, but only on the security forces, because the insurgents are clearly intended to be ISIL, and they’re not gonna whitewash how shitty those guys are to women. OTOH, the insurgents are still portrayed as (shitty) human beings who look out for each other, and react in very genuine ways to the scary situation they’re in. No one ever yells “Allah akbar” or whatever.
Battle Brothers: Battle Brothers is a turn based tactical RPG which has you leading a mercenary company in a gritty, low-power, medieval fantasy world. You decide where to go, whom to hire or to fight, what contracts to take and how to train and equip your men in a procedurally generated open world campaign. The Godfather of Squad-Management-Games!
Songs of Conquest: If you like Turn-Based-Strategy and know HoMM3, you will love this game! Songs of Conquest is a turn-based strategy game inspired by 90s classics. Lead powerful magicians called Wielders and venture to lands unknown. Wage battle against armies that dare oppose you and hunt for powerful artifacts.
OMORI is incredible. The gameplay is okay (typical JRPG stuff), the music is okay (I’ve heard better in other games), but the storytelling is some of the best in all of video games, up there with Silent Hill 2 and 3.
The Binding of Isaac is an incredibly addicting game. It’s basically rougelike 2D Zelda dungeons, and upgrades stack on top of each other. It’s the game that I have the most hours in on Steam (specifically the much better-programmed remake, Rebirth). The DLC is great as well, adding a ton of content. Its replayability is damn near unmatched.
Super Meat Boy is just a really fun, fast paced 2D platformer, that is challenging, but fair. The controls are some of the best of any 2D platformer out there, beating out both Super Mario World and Yoshi’s Island IMO.
Fight N Rage was my favorite beat’em up before Streets of Rage 4 released, made by mexicans I think, very stylish and manga influenced, tons of juggling and branching paths.
Valdis Story was the hollow knight of it’s generation, awesome metroidvania with great bosses and combat with good combos, but it didn’t get tiresome like castlevania mirror of fate because regular enemies weren’t health sponges, bosses were where you let loose.
You can best the dungeons in a single run if you set up right. It’s tough in the beginning but I’d you want to do everything you have to minimize the number of days you right in the dungeon.
Jedi Fallen Order! It’s a great game and only like £3.50 in the sale. Might also pick up Kingdom Come Deliverance and Mafia Definitive Edition since they’re both under £10
Personally, I’d say it’s a fair price at £3.50, but not worth more than that. Fallen Order should’ve been called “climbing simulator” instead, as that’s what you spend half of the game doing.
I honestly really enjoyed it but maybe I had the difficulty set hard enough that I was instead spending most of my time fighting. Tbf I also enjoyed the tomb raider trilogy which was mostly climbing puzzles
