Unreal 1 (not Unreal Tournament), some level were a bit too labyrinthic

Clonk Endevour is not my favorite game, but I played it a lot with friends when I was younger. You can play with 2 or even more people, with just a monitor and a keyboard! Also it’s so old it should run on any potato.

edit: real answer is Slay The Spire

edit2: ah shit now all of a sudden all the good indie games I played pop up in my head. Project Kat I enjoyed. Synthetik was awesome. Caves of Qud hasn’t been mentioned yet (didn’t play it much though).

I remember playing an RPG back in the day called “Dink Smallwood” on my old Macintosh laptop, it was one of the few games that were Mac compatible. Really funny and self aware dialogue, pretty great! I found out there’s an app version of it for mobile

secret300,

Holocure is amazing! I don’t even watch Vtubers I just looked at the highest rated games on steam and found it. Within the first 3 weeks I put in 100 hours

Clair Obscur really isn’t an indie game.

That game is something else. Music by Pauline Oliveros is half of the game’s magic.

That game, bro, omg

You stumble around, find a key, a corpse gets up and you have no idea how to fight back, and then do it all over again.

Gunpoint. Charming, atmospheric, doesn't outstay its welcome.

Suck_on_my_Presence,

Great music too

After La Mulana I wanted to try more Metroidvanias, so I tried Castlevania: Symphony of the Night but found it incredibly dull and dropped it after a couple of hours.

I understand the historical significance of its level design, but the combat was so easy that traversal became boring, as enemies respawn every time you change rooms. Also, the sprites are beautiful and detailed, and the game looks great, but Alucard’s movement feels off due to the animation.

I then switched to Touhou Luna Nights, which was really short but fun. The time stop gimmick was fun to use and I liked the bosses. The metroidvania aspect was a bit shallow, probably due to the length of the game, as it’s mainly used for optional powerups.

I started playing Stranger of Paradise Final Fantasy Origin. It seems like a fun game, the writing seems really cheesy (but enjoyable) and the combat is fun. A big problem tho is a bug that keeps triggering a slowdown at random times, which is really annoying and got me killed in a bunch of encounters.

Finally, I wanted to play Infinity Nikki, but I kinda lost interest with how the developer has been behaving lately. Can never trust gacha games.

I’ve been playing the Xenoblade Chronicles X: Definitive Edition.

I played the original back on Wii U, and I was so sad when they shut the servers down.

They added another chapter in 3 parts that really points to a sequel in the works. They also added 3 new playable characters that were just NPCs in the original game, and the Hreisvelg series of skells that only appeared in 1 mission in the original version.

If you are a fan of Mobile Suit Gundam, this game is for you. The skells were made by the creator of Gunadam.

Pseudoregalia. I wish there were more boss fights because I thought they were well done, but still a great experience overall.

Elden Ring, just a new run because it’s been a while.

A couple times in Linda Cubed Again. The game’s next objectives are told to you by characters, or through the in-game voicemail system.

However, there is no “current quest” screen so if you take a break from the game, you can easily forget where you left off.

Also, it doesn’t help that the game was only released in Japan (and fan translated only recently) so there’s not a lot of walkthroughs you can follow.

I remember there being a few points like that in Megaman Legends 1 and 2.

Legends 1 certainly had more “exploration”, as there was nothing to point you to where you should go. Legends 2 has neat red arrows on the overworld map, so you have a decent idea of where to fuck around, though the dungeons got much more elaborate. Fuck the Nino Ruins

So many times in GTA V I had no idea how to trigger the next mission. I would probably go back to it and play through if it had some sort of indicator for how to trigger the next campaign mission.

zipzoopaboop,

Go to a mission marker on the map?

sugar_in_your_tea, (edited )

Some missions are characteristic-specific, but those are labeled too.

MSids,

It was a while back, but I feel like I remember trying this, switching between characters and going to their various markers on the map but nothing would happen. It was long enough ago that I can’t rule out hitting a bug or missing a required side mission, but I remember not being the only person saying this.

I was never a fan of just driving around the city causing havoc, so even short amounts of time with no missions felt like eternity.

This game can also be played solo, for anyone curious. And even solo it’s fun to play just a bit harder since no one can revive you. It’s not like Lethal Company where it becomes impossible to solo after the first few rounds.
