I’ve never tried brotato may give it ago although vampire survivors may be up your valley its in the same genre I’ve been playing a couple rounds every so often on my phone

Vampire survivors is in my library and liked it too, but I prefered Brotato. More variation, your selection matter more and no 360 weapons you can overpower.

tabris, do gaming w What unusual genre mixing video games would you recommend to try?

Peglin merges dungeon crawler rogue-lite with Peggle style gameplay.

Slay The Spire merges dungeon crawler rogue-lite with a deck builder card game.

Dicey Dungeon merges dungeon crawler rogue-lite with dice rolling.

I got stuck on a theme 😅

To add, Cult of the Lamb is both a base building game and action roguelite

runner_g,

I feel like you would enjoy Slice and Dice. Similar to dicey dungeon, you are rolling dice, but instead of them being a classic d6, each side of the die is the hero’s abilities. You collect relics and get better heroes as you progress through the run. 8 bucks on Itch.io gets you both the mobile and desktop download. Also has a demo.

The Typing of the Dead

TimTheEnchanter, do gaming w Can anyone recommend let's play channels or streamers wherein a group of multiple people play single player games together?

I like RKG! They play Dark Souls and those types of games- one of them plays, the other two chat about the lore of the game or whatever. Right now they’re playing Elden Ring!

Odo, do games w Games like Moonring?

Ever heard of Spiderweb Software? They’ve been putting out lo-fi old-school cRPGs for nearly 30 years now. Take a look at Avernum: Escape from the Pit (a remake of their first game, Exile) and see if that scratches the same itch.

Mandy,

never heard of them actually, thank you

7112, do games w has cyberpunk's combat been rehauled to be me more like the combat rebalanced mod

Still takes like 20 headshots to down someone. It gets a little better mid-late game. It was brutal playing 2.0 before the Headshot damage mod was updated.

However, I noticed that blades seemed a bit buffed. I was able to melee super easy early on.

Still takes like 20 headshots to down someone.

I think this is largely dependent on build and weapon. I’ve been playing a stealth / throwing character and throwing knives kill almost anyone with a single headshot, as do revolvers. If I try to use an assault rifle, though, I can empty a clip into someone’s face and they’re still standing.

7112,

I had a reflex build but ended up using shotguns since assault damage was so bad. Maybe it’s just the weapon type.

thats such a shame, i wish cdpr just allowed a new difficultly that was exsctly the same as the combat rebalanced mod

papel, do games w how do you have fun even a game have a grading system?

A grading system that does nothing doesn’t bother me. A grading system that unlocks highly desirable, but non-essential stuff will probably get me on my nerves, or get me to cheat. Tenchu on the PS1 had 1 unlockable item for each mission you got a GrandMaster rank

learningduck,

Tenchu, the game that I wished for the checkpoints system the most since PS1. Sneak your way to the boss and get killed? Well, let’s replay the whole mission.

doboprobodyne, do gaming w How to let my kids find quality games on Android? Right now they only find the pay to win / ad riddled games.

Fdroid --> unciv

Civilisation clone. Really fantastic if she enjoys that sort of thing.

Also I don't know anything about adblockers but I was lucky enough to have a device supported by www.divestos.org and I think the OS defaults to a DNS that ignores ads somehow. But I'm not sure! I just know I get WAY less spammy ads than friends do :P

sylverstream,

Thanks for civ tip!

I’ve got pi hole as DNS ad blocker. Works great.

doboprobodyne,

Sweet!

If you like tech and if she might too, there are coding games for the desktop https://www.makeuseof.com/tag/best-programming-games/
And for the mobile device https://blockly.games/

Have fun!

Play pass is a fantastic idea, made me discover a lot of awesome small little experiences

sylverstream,

Yeah I like it so far. We also have xb gamepass which made me appreciate indie games much more.

How do you find apps included in play Pass though, do you know? Can only find lists on random websites, not on play store itself.

enthusiasticamoeba,

Once you’re a member it shows you a section in the app store. Unfortunately I’m not sure where to find a list before subscribing.

sylverstream,

I’ve subscribed, and that section shows up. However it only shows games, not apps. Eg Tasker is included.

otter, do gaming w How to let my kids find quality games on Android? Right now they only find the pay to win / ad riddled games.

The play pass might be the way to go, since the paid games are a lot better. There are also a lot of guides online for which games are good.

You can also look into games that are ports of old PC games, as well as emulators (which open up a whole new world of games)

sylverstream,

Thanks, yes play Pass looks cool so far.

Also going to look at emulators. Thanks.

PM_ME_FEET_PICS, do games w Browser games you have burned a lot of time on?

Urban Dead was fun back when I played it. Used to be on the forums a lot and organize curing centres or safe zones.

Dominate Game. Great online risk game with elo system. You could play the default maps in the browser but thier client let you play tons of customer player made maps. Sadly this one got taken down a long time ago, is has a spiritual successor as Dominate 12.

Supremacy 1914. Only played 2 matches of this game, but do to its nature it was over the course of 6 months or so. I believe they have a download client now and the game is also on Steam now.

mindbleach,

Barhah!

@lorty@lemmy.ml avatar

They tried to bring back the stealth and other elements of the old games but it doesn’t really work in the mold of Valhalla, that’s the big issue that brings this game down.

PorkTaco, do games w Just finished my first playthrough of Prey by Arkane Studios and WOW.

Finally got around to playing it a couple years ago. Fantastic game. Intriguing story and satisfying game play that’s just unique enough to stand apart. I really really enjoyed it.

Turmbaumeister, (edited ) do gaming w Weekly “What are you playing” Thread || Week of October 1st

Lies of p - absolutely fantastic. The first game I rate 10/10 since Mass effect 2 I think.

They took what is good in soulslikes and removed stupid fromsoftwareisms. The story is great and actually told, there are some indicators for npcs who have something for you, when an npc moves somewhere they leave a note etc.

The bosses are tough but fair, they don’t randomly recover from stagger into a one shot ability or heal off of hitting a shield, there’s no fake, game breaking, lazy difficulty like fromsoftware would do, you are not punished for doing something well.

The combat is great, no “rhythmic” parry spam, no dodge spam, you need to think about what to use, when you do the game can be rather easy for this genre.

There are 2 or 3 eldenringy bosses towards the end with ludicrous mobility and combo spam but most of the rest are really great.

If this is this devs first game I really want to see the next. First time in ages I’m doing ng+

bijuice,

Have you played Bloodborne? If so, why do you prefer Lies of P over it?

Turmbaumeister,

Yes and yes. BB is a flawed masterpiece, some great things ruined by some of the worst fromsoftwareisms, a bit dated at this point too.

LoP has a better and more varied combat, 60fps, better bosses, better weapon system, many QoL improvements, better story(in part because it’s actually told :D), way better graphics, no grind, no long runbacks(the longest has like 3 enemies you need to fight, BB was made at a time FS still thought runbacks somehow add to the experience or maybe it was a cynical attempt at padding the game length).

In LoP, once you “git gut” it’s just so satisfying to get a few perfect blocks on a boss combo and break his weapon, never gets old.

In my utterly subjective opinion BB is 7.5/10, LoP 10/10 in 2023.

bijuice,

Damn, Bloodborne is my favorite game of all time so if Lies of P is anywhere as good as that I have to put it on my radar.

StillNotAHero,

Lies of P is absolutely fantastic. If you’re a fan of Bloodborne you are doing yourself a disservice if you don’t try Lies of P.

CaptainDogwater, do gaming w Weekly “What are you playing” Thread || Week of October 1st

I’ve been getting back into Cyberpunk 2077 since the major update! I’ve really enjoyed the overhauled perk/leveling system.

Worth giving it a go if you’ve been on the fence or haven’t touched it in awhile.

Franzia,

I think I’m hoping to play it next month 😊
