The three best games in the series were Puyo Puyo 15th Anniversary (2006), Puyo Puyo 20th Anniversary (2011), and Puyo Puyo Chronicle (2016, this game is 25th in all but name). None of these games were released outside of Japan

After being defeated, Satan joins the party and promises that the way back home lies at the top of the Color Tower, and all Arle would need to do now is scale it to return home.

Hmm.

I think “Satan as a playable character” might be one of those cultural-issue things that would come up when considering localization.

Black Isle Studios planned to include a dual-combat system in the game that allowed for the player to choose between real-time (Bethesda Softworks’ Fallout games and Micro Forté and 14° East’s Fallout Tactics) or turn-based combat (Fallout and Fallout 2) but real-time was only included due to Interplay’s demands.

I suppose you’re most-likely aware of them, but if you wanted more turn-based Fallout, have you looked into https://store.steampowered.com/agecheck/app/240760/and https://store.steampowered.com/app/719040/Wasteland_3/?

If you’re super-into it, have you tried https://store.steampowered.com/app/12470/Port_Royale_2/, which also came out in 2004 and is kind of the same sort of game on the age-of-sail combat side?

There’s a lot more ships than the DLC ships. But yes, it’s almost inevitable you will end up buying a couple of them, because the DLCs let you spawn a ship for free every day.

In fairness, I didn’t notice that the game was F2P, no entry fee, so they have to get money from somewhere.

Naval action for slow wooden ships in the Bahamas.

I haven’t seen this prior to now. The idea of a nice age-of-sail combat game sounds interesting, but…man, looking at the Steam description there has some surprises:

  • That is an appallingly low Steam rating.
  • It looks like the split is between players who think that the game is too-slow-paced and those who are fine with that, so I could see someone who wants a slow game being into it.
  • Jesus Christ, the DLC prices. They’re selling each additional ship for ~$50? Like, the game with all ships is ~$700? I mean, I know that DCS World and Il-2 Sturmovik: Battle of Stalingrad use that model, but I can’t imagine that the ships function as differently from ship-to-ship as the combat aircraft in those games, bring as much additional gameplay.

I really wanted to like Raft, but the game just felt kind of shallow and on-rails in actual gameplay compared to Subnautica.

That’s a lot of different categories.

I like naval warfare games, but I tend towards the sim side, not the “experience being someone there” sort.

The naval warfare game that I have played the most of recently is https://store.steampowered.com/app/2008100/Rule_the_Waves_3/. That’s definitely not an eye candy game, but it models the design and development of warships from 1880 into the Cold War, the construction of fleets, and the tactics when they meet, has a lot of flexibility to simulate different stuff.

The game that I’m most looking forward to being completed is https://store.steampowered.com/app/1286220/Sea_Power__Naval_Combat_in_the_Missile_Age/, which is presently still in Early Access and last time I played it still had a lot of unfinished work. Sort of a spiritual successor to https://store.steampowered.com/app/2910/Fleet_Command//Jane’s Fleet Command. Modern air and naval warfare.

It doesn’t work on Linux, so I can’t play it, but https://store.steampowered.com/app/1076160/Command_Modern_Operations/ is probably the most sim-oriented contemporary air/naval warfare program you can get.

Two other naval warfare games that I enjoy playing:

https://store.steampowered.com/app/541210/Cold_Waters/, which is a Cold War sub warfare game. It abstracts out a lot of the manual stuff that some other sub sims do. Covers the “hide, gather data, strike” bit.

https://store.steampowered.com/app/1489630/Carrier_Command_2/. This is not a real-world oriented sim. You command an amphibious assault ship which can capture islands to gain resources, capture technology, and buy munitions, air and amphibious vehicles, and fight against another similar amphibious assault ship approaching you. I really like the untextured polygon aesthetic – they make stuff look pretty even with just that. Need to manage a ton of vehicles and aircraft and production and logistics vessels and support craft concurrently; as the game continues on, the load increases. If you’ve played https://store.steampowered.com/app/267980/Hostile_Waters_Antaeus_Rising/, sort of similar idea — both are based on Carrier Command. Not mission-oriented the way Hostile Waters is. It’s really intended to be played multiplayer, which I’ve no interest in, but you can play single-player if you can handle the load of doing all the tasks. I had a surprising amount of fun banging away with this one. I really think that this game would have benefited from some rebalancing and further development — some gear just isn’t all that useful, and I think that the game would make a magnificent base for a more-sophisticated-dynamic-campaign single-player-oriented game.

You mention https://store.steampowered.com/app/264710/Subnautica/. I enjoyed that, though unlike the other games here, that’s not really a naval warfare game, but it’s certainly got a sea theme. I think I own the sequel, https://store.steampowered.com/app/848450/Subnautica_Below_Zero/, but haven’t played it, but given that you don’t mention it, I thought I would, as I’d assume that if you like the first game, you’d also enjoy the second.

https://store.steampowered.com/app/304650/SUNLESS_SEA/ and its sequel https://store.steampowered.com/app/452530/Sunless_Sea__Zubmariner/ is…hard to describe, more about providing a dark British Empire fantasy naval-themed game. Not naval warfare, but exploring a subterranean world…but it’s got sea theming. Not much like everything else on here. Mostly about creating a mood — the gameplay isn’t terribly deep.

It’s not, strictly-speaking, a sea-based game, but https://store.steampowered.com/app/887570/NEBULOUS_Fleet_Command/ is a sci-fi space-based fleet warfare game. A lot of the elements that you might want in a sea-based fleet naval warfare game are there, sensors, electronic warfare, weapons and countermeasures and such.

I think that those are the sea- or sea-associated games that I’d probably most recommend, myself.

EDIT: I have not yet gotten around to playing https://store.steampowered.com/app/1562430/DREDGE/, but I’ve read enough positive comments on it that I’d suggest at least looking at it.

A large proportion of games that have both mobile and PC releases are going to be designed around mouse-only use.

tal, do gaming w Developer of 'non-consensual sex' game withdraws it from Steam after bans in the UK, Canada, and Australia
@tal@lemmy.today avatar

No Mercy included “incest,” “blackmail,” and “unavoidable non-consensual sex,” according to its Steam page, which also promised players the opportunity to become “every woman’s worst nightmare” and “never take ‘no’ for an answer.”

This doesn’t bode well for Pale Carnations making it onto Steam.

I’m currently scraping the Steam barrel

tomshardware.com/…/steam-released-a-record-number…

Steam released 18,825 new games in 2024, beating its previous record of 14,311 last year.

That’s a pretty deep barrel. For comparison:

www.mobygames.com/platform/playstation-4/

There are 11,274 video games on PlayStation 4. They were released between the years 2013 and 2025.

tal, do gaming w The most influential video game of all time - Bafta
@tal@lemmy.today avatar

Half Life

I don’t think that Half Life was all that influential. It was a successful game, had a story at a time when FPSes tended to barely bother. But I think that it was less that it was very innovative and more that it competently executed on mechanics and technology that already existed.

Minecraft

I don’t know if I can agree. Yes, it was successful and a sandbox game, but (a) Terraria, for example, came out earlier, and I don’t feel like it was that transformative. It certainly inspired some sandbox games, but I don’t think that this was really an incredibly broad shift.

The Sims

This one brought a lot of new mechanics, but I don’t know about influential. There wasn’t really a large Sims-like genre that it inspired.

Baldur’s Gate 3

It a 2023 release. How can it be influential? Hasn’t even been time for a generation of games influenced by it to come out.

tal, do gaming w HP are interested in making a SteamOS handheld as the Windows experience sucks
@tal@lemmy.today avatar

A point made by HP’s SVP and Division President of Gaming Solutions Josephine Tan when talking to XDA Developers, Tan mentioned “If you look at Windows, I struggle with the experience myself. If I don’t like it, I don’t know how to do a product for it.”. Tan continued “If I’m buying a handheld, I want a very simple setup. The minute I turn on my handheld, it will remember the last game I played. In the Windows environment, it doesn’t”.

Okay, I’m not saying that HP shouldn’t do a SteamOS handheld, but…this seems like such a bad rationale. Surely, surely it is possible to write a relatively-trivial piece of software for Windows that simply remembers the last game played? Especially if we’re just talking stuff running out of Steam?
