I ran across a metroidvania called Feudal Alloy set in a medieval world where you and all the enemies are low-tech robots with fish bowls as heads. There’s an interesting mechanic where swinging your sword generates heat and if you’re overheated you can’t attack temporarily. You can upgrade different parts of your body to fit the situation or your play style (more armor/damage/health, slower overheat, faster cooldown, etc), and the art is nice.

Felt like a lucky find for me because I just found out about it last week from an old vid on one of the yt gaming channels I follow (Let’s Game It Out if anyone likes watching a dude try to break games by essentially QA testing the hell out of them), and when I checked the steam sale this week it came up for under 2 bucks.

Potatos_are_not_friends,

This is awesome. Thanks for the recommendation!

Been having a Metroidvania itch and currently playing Afterimage.

_sideffect,

The new Prince of Persia is amazing

wer2,

Controls felt a little janky to me, but I loved the game. I would recommend it to anyone wanting a shorter Metroidvania experience, especially if the art style is appealing to you.

learningduck,

Warning. The game only has like 2 bosses. It uses rooms that keep spawning mobs as replacements for normal bosses.

tigeruppercut,

Spoilers haha. But yeah, seems like a bit more of a casual experience from the couple hours I’ve put in so far. Glad it was like a buck fifty

Cataclysm: Dark Days Ahead (ASCII mode) and Neofeud hold a special place in my heart

Valheim is one of the best, especially with frends

simple,

Shame the updates come at such a glacial pace though…

Hotzilla,

It is a small indie team, that doesn’t want to crunch their devs. I can live with that.

Have played everything good that’s out there so nothing…

I just bought pico park. I need more good local couch coop games

jemikwa,

Pico Park made our group rage in the best way. It’s a cute and fun game

pineapplelover,

Any more good couch coop games?

Edit: my group has people who have never played controller so I need something easy to pick up. I have tried overcooked but I guess there are too many buttons

jemikwa,

Sorry, I don’t really have any for PC, we played Pico using remote coop

Probably nothing unless a really good deal from my wish list shows up.

Lmaydev, do gaming w I hate the term "Boomer Shooter"

Boomer basically means 20+ years old nowadays as far as I can tell. Or older than zoomers.

Remedy Entertainment. From Max Payne 1 & 2, to Alan Wake 1 & 2, to Quantum Break, to Control, there has not been a game from them that I've played that hasn't been absolutely fantastic. They have not failed to miss so far.

It’s marketing doublespeak dreamed up by the totally deranged and it works

You have to remember its millennials and Gen Z experiencing this genre, not boomers.

Boomer doesn’t have to be literal boomers but old, like it is a joke in the WoW community to call it a boomer game because most of the people playing it (especially classic) are 30+ years old.

In the same way, people will talk about boomers in politics but Obama was the last baby boomer in the presidency.

I’m going to go a little unpopular here, and say Paradox Interactive.

Their milking of their properties with DLC is the stuff of legends, but at the end of the day, nobody else is even close at modeling rich, complex and hugely broad historical simulation the way they do. They’re everything I ever wanted when I was a kid, playing Koei strat games. When you’re that good at what you do, fine, make money. Whatever.

Oh, look. Another DLC… sigh

The DLC I’ll admit is what they are jokingly known for but someone could “find some treasure” can avoid that. But good answer nonetheless!

If it helps, this is the first time I hear it 🤷‍♂️

played mostly by Gen Xers and Snake People

For a moment there I was really confused, I forgot about this wonderful extension

DragonTypeWyvern, do gaming w I hate the term "Boomer Shooter"

Millennials are going to be in absolute shambles if they ever find out “Okay boomer” wasn’t directly targeted at boomers.

onlooker,
@onlooker@lemmy.ml avatar

It wasn’t? This is what Wikipedia says:

“OK boomer” or “okay boomer” is a catchphrase and internet meme that has been used by members of the Millennial generation and Generation Z (born between the early 1980s and the early 2010s) to dismiss or mock attitudes typically associated with baby boomers – people born in the two decades following World War II.

Who was it targeted at then?

DragonTypeWyvern,

Young people saying things old people told them.

People who were usually younger than millennials.

@altima_neo@lemmy.zip avatar

It was targeted at everyone older than the younger people saying it.

It’s used as a catch all, with the intention of getting everyone riled up. Because regardless of if you’re an actual boomer or not, now you’re getting bundled together with them.

SteposVenzny, do gaming w I hate the term "Boomer Shooter"

It’s such a fun phrase to say, though.

@onlooker@lemmy.ml avatar

It does roll off the tongue nicely, I have to admit.

charonn0, do games w Best sidequests in the Fallout games?
@charonn0@startrek.website avatar

In New Vegas, completing Arcade Gannon’s companion sidequest gives you a suit of Enclave advanced power armor, and a squad of Enclave troops with a vertibird will back you up at Hoover Dam. It’s virtually impossible to trigger this quest by accident.

Zahille7,

I think that’s the one sidequest I’ve never done in New Vegas
