I really liked the first one. For those who haven’t heard of it, it’s a weird platformer/collect-a-thon where you play as a spaceman (or a spacedog, funnily enough) scouting potentially livable planets for a ruthless company.
The first one was a bit undercooked, but the whole game was better than the sum of its parts. I’m curious to see if the sequel improved on the original.
For some reason, the game is still pending on GoG despite having released yesterday on Steam. I wish developers stopped the second-class citizen of their GoG users. I can understand small dev teams doing a staggered release for multiplatform games, but the game’s already on Steam, and GoG is just another PC storefront… I don’t understand.
I urge anyone who has not played CrossCode to give it a try. I randomly played it during the pandemic, and I’ve since not been able to enjoy gaming the way I did it before. For me, it was very close to being a 10/10.

Isn’t GameRant, like, 90% AI-generated clickbait content nowadays? Can’t talk about what they were about a few years ago, but every time I find a GR article when looking for something, it’s clickbait AI slop. Like “When will the sequel to X release? Everything you need to know” (scroll down to read post) “there’s no confirmation about a sequel”.
As someone who loves JRPGs as a genre but has generally grown out of their anime phase, Expedition 33 looks really interesting. I’ve been eyeing it since the announcement trailer and its recent success got me curious. A co-worker told me that it’s just 20-30 hours to beat, which is a huge plus for me (don’t have the patience to clear 100-200 hrs games anymore - looking at you, Persona 5).
I’ll probably get it this summer as soon as I manage to get some free time from work.
I don’t know if you’re asking sarcastically or not, but I’d mention Divinity 2, Baldur’s Gate 3, Witcher 3, and those are just the most popular/universally acclaimed. I feel all three of them offer the same sense of adventure and exploration in an open world map, with actually interesting side content, engaging combat system, and voice acting that doesn’t scream “we’re being held in the recording room against our will, please save us”. They are also relatively bug-free, or at least not broken the way Bethesda titles are.
Back in the days, I think Gothic had the same clunky gameplay but at least offered a much deeper worldbuilding and more interesting choices.
You can also widen the search by changing the parameters. The thing that sets Oblivion apart is that it attempted to do a lot of things, but everything is either shallow, poorly executed, or outright bugged. If you take a look at other titles that did some of the things Oblivion did, there are countless that executed those ideas a lot better. Fable 2, Dragon Age, Avowed for example, and again, I’m only mentioning the most famous ones.
Obligatory “I’m not American”. I’m a bit confused by this. Can anyone sue the president over an official act? Is that a thing? Didn’t the Supreme Court basically say that he could walk outside, shoot a bystander, go back home and face no consequences?
As far as I know, lawsuits that involve rich/powerful individuals and another side with way less cash than them is to just postpone the hearing or drag it on long enough for the poorer side to give up or go bankrupt. Even if it actually succeeded, suing the president is something that could be escalated until it gets picked up by the currently right-leaning supreme court, isn’t it?
Yeah, under 50% of the required signatures and it’s just a few weeks from expiring, there’s no chance this will succeed unless some big-name influencer gathers support for the petition, which at this point I doubt will happen.
It made some people talk about the problem, though. That’s a step in the right direction.
I agree. In the days immediately following the APIcalypse, people attempted to move all their favourite niche communities to Lemmy, but the site’s active userbase isn’t there yet for that kind of content - much to my displeasure: I was only active in two/three niche communities back when I was a Reddit user, but they are pretty much nonexistent here, so I’m forced to include more generic communities in my Lemmy feed to keep it from drying up.
Absolutely, iii was my most anticipated showcase this year and they delivered big time. Katana Zero DLC was the highlight for me, but I got two more wishlists from the rest of the video as well.
Last year’s showcase was good, but this one blew my mind. I’m already counting the days for next year’s.
