I immediately caught the Gothic references/influence which I think was actually a bit of a drawback for me. I was able to predict a lot of the mechanics and story, like being able to figure out essentially a frame perfect way to defeat the strong bandits early in the game and then coasted on that loot.
That said I think it had quite a bit more depth than I was expecting and I appreciated that a great deal.
This is one I have on my wishlist and have been eyeing for a while. I deleted a life sucking crafting mmorpg I was playing and have been looking for a replacement game. I may pick this up, it is on sale and in a couple bundles.
Drova really surprised me as well! I usually have a hard time sticking with RPG games but I couldn’t stop playing this one. The different factions were fun, loved the world building and surprise interactions and really enjoyed how the terrain was almost a puzzle sometimes. Hidden entrances to move up or down terrain and access chests or secret areas.
I’ve been trying to find another game like it but have failed so far.
I have actually played some CrossCode, it’s a surprisingly a big game! I fell off of it after ten ish hours for some reason but plan to eventually go back. Love the world it is set in and the characters.
Everyone told me this is such a good game and, you know, sure, it could be, but at this point i’ve learned to temper my expectations. But now that I’ve played it, I can honestly say that once you get past the (on-rails, nostalgia-bait) first 20 minutes, it evolves into one of the best games in a generation
I will have to keep playing then… I took a break after a few hours in that first area. No joke, I kept getting distracted and fucking up my disguise because I kept punching fascists. It’s so hard not to.
You can say a lot about CDPR but GOG is really cool. You can just download the installer and you are good to go. Even though you could run some games from Steam “portable” without having it “phone home”, it feels off to need Steam installed on your machine in the first place. Stopped buying games for my Switch as well. It just doesn’t even feel like I own those games, with the exception of physical releases, but even these are only playable on a Switch. I will be really happy once I switch my switch for a gaming handheld running linux. :)
I can highly recommend this if you’re any kind of Indy fan. It masterfully replicates the globetrotting adventure vibe and swashbuckling fighting of the movies, and Indy’s voice actor absolutely nails it.
Keep your expectations in check with Starfield, I was sure I was going to love it but dropped it after 25hrs, it’s not very alive or entrancing imho. However I am confident in the narrative-centered game design from Machine Games to be sure I’d enjoy this Indiana Jones
Not even sure why I’m hoping for it as I barely have time to play anything anymore. What with kids, I game maybe 3 hours a week total. 25 hours in a game isn’t something I’ve done in a long time. Been buying a lot of short games because of this now. Very much enjoying Radiolight at the moment for instance, even though you can tell it’s built off an asset store. One of the character models didn’t fit in at all 😂.
And this is why I got hooked on roguelites. Hades, Spelunky, FTL, Enter the Gungeon, Slay the Spire, Crypt of the Necro Dancer, Rogue Legacy, Dome Keeper, Runestone Keeper. There’s probably so much more out there.
I’ll add Luck be a Landlord as a game that’s surprisingly fun, has no time pressure, and lets you save and quit anytime.
Also worth noting is that FTL has a great mod, Multiverse, adding new features and lots of new content. I’m not sure how well FTL works when you have little time, but if it works, there’s a lot of unique content to see.
Seems like you’re confusing what subjective and objective mean here! Just because you dislike a game, doesn’t in fact make that a universally held belief!
Considering the game is sitting at:
Very Positive (4,503) - on Steam
86 (critic rating) and 7.0 (user rating) on metacritic
…it seems like this is not (once again) a universally held belief. Sorry you’re not liking it, though.
