Oh, Sans is smarter than that; he’d say how you can’t refund because you’ve already played for way more than 2 hours to get this far. If anything, he would mention your actual playtime statistic in his dialogue.

I didn’t realize that it wasn’t digital all this time. Digital is the only way to play such titles, haha.

Although l think it sacrifices achievement progress, you may consider Heroic Games Launcher instead, which is open-source.

Mandatory launchers can fuck right off.

… Iike Steam’s? 😛

Thanks for the context, which led me to downvote this post. Come on, guys; not all complaints are valid.

I am aware of this list. Try comparing it to itch.io and GOG, though.

Oops, I misunderstood and agree; I didn’t realize a second launcher was the issue here. That is messed up.

Slice & Dice, which is on Steam, Android, iOS, DRM-free PC download, and probably more.

It’s sometimes better because I myself may not even like the actual gameplay (such as long grinds, which you can skip over in a video if it’s not a theatrical cut to begin with), but otherwise wanna see the story.

Fun fact: Portal was originally a university student project called Narbacular Drop that got hired by Steam. In a sense from its limited narration and story, it felt a bit more like a proof-of-concept than almost a full-fleshed game to me at times, which, for me, was hands-down Portal 2.

They’re great fun to stream and watch, too.

Sable is on a giveaway this week by Epic Games. Use the free-&-open-source Heroic Games Launcher to play it without having to download their platform.

I got bored by FAR’s puzzles and didn’t finish it but I guess I should persist, huh?

Ironically, I couldn’t get into Outer Wilds, myself; it sucks to get stuck.

Let me offer a spin on this: the point-&-click adventure Technobabylon, which is more a staggeringly creative and massive series of escape rooms, and not that much of an open world to explore and revisit.

Perceptibly, it has zero grinding and is to the point with what you’ve gotta do. It is one of the only point-&-click adventure games that I’ve beaten; I normally dislike the genre, which speaks volumes to how incredible it is.

Could you please rename such a long and misleading title to something more succinct and accurate?

Day 333 of game commentary: Minecraft

I strongly believe it would genuinely boost the quality of your submissions.

Flagstaff, 4 miesiące temu

Oh. Well, if the mods are this active, then that could probably be changed, too! I’m not trying to insult you or something; I just think the titles could be made much more meaningful with just a bit more focus (which also means they could potentially attract more redditors or other lurking, fence-sitting denizens of the Internet through quality stuff in both title and body).

@MyNameIsAtticus needs to change the title to “Daily thoughts: game X, game Y, game Z.” Continually saying “screenshot” each time is misleading and does legitimately sound spammy and annoying. A simple title change would be so much better.

FYI, the “O” in “GOG” is capitalized; it stands for “Good Old Games” as they originally made their claim to fame by modernizing access to literally old DOS, etc. games that are hard to run onodern PCs. It doesn’t stand for “of.”

With that said, yes, GOG should absolutely be prioritized, as well as itch.io.

Vagante’s negative reviews criticize its too-numerous insta-death traps. What would your reply be to that?

I think you might love Noita!

Slice & Dice is the best dice-building roguelite ever and has a free demo that is only content-limited and allows you to already play an infinite amount of runs. I literally played the demo as much as a paid game for a month until I bit down—so hard that, once, when I had my phone in hand and intended to take a shower, I ended up crouching on the bathroom floor furthering a run for an hour before finally pausing to return to the real world.

Clone Drone in the Danger Zone offers awesome online co-op. Noita’s world is just endless (people are still discovering new spell permutations years later). I will never turn down someone’s offer or request to watch a run of FTL: Faster Than Light.

The AAA world is not impressive to me at all, and if anything gets deprioritized in my book; graphics or a third-person view do not a fantastic game make.

I really hope the sequel does more with dungeons than just ricochet/geometry puzzles. CrossCode’s incessant use of those in dungeon after dungeon was what made me stop playing.

Too bad the developer duo basically disappeared… I had an idea for a 2-player sequel but they never responded.

Hmm… May I watch you stream Vagante sometime? I’ve been iffy over it for a year or more now because of those reviews. Let me see how you die LOL jk. This is also coming from a SoR fan, too!

Not sure what “VRP” is unless you just mean ricochet puzzles, but mind you, I did play 95% of the game. It felt just too same-y after long enough (it was the plot and environment that had kept me going), and then I just gave up and finished through some YouTuber’s play-through and I confirmed that I had apparently quit at the start of the final dungeon, because it just felt like… more of the same timing-&-angling annoyances with no more originality. Zelda was far, far more creative and I think the game just could have done more with items or different weapons, or something, though I know much of it is based on your character being a specific class that was fixed pre-game… It just ultimately wore me down, sadly.

Right: *successor, not “sequel.”

Flagstaff, 5 miesięcy temu

Oh. It’s been literal years so I totally forgot that initialism, but while we’re at it, the second “C” in “CrossCode” is also capital.

It’s smooth as butter, yeah, but I think I would prefer a game focused on a different character class/weapon. I remember some progression of concepts but I guess didn’t really connect the dots (even though I don’t think I looked up a guide more than once or twice briefly).

I tried a bit of Aquaria but couldn’t get into it… Thanks for the Gato recommendation. I didn’t know it was CS-like.

And it’s not that short; the island to me seems to be an actual mile wide in circumference. There’s lots to do in the one environment.

The S.T.A.L.K.E.R. trilogy (after applying community bugfix mods) is better; with ZRP, Shadow of Chernobyl was bug-free except for the ending.

Then again, I played the original biggest known as Metro 2033, not the Redux ver. I still think there is more interesting stuff in S.T.A.L.K.E.R., though, overall. The environment is incredible in its natural, unscripted interactions and not… manufactured.

Flagstaff, 6 miesięcy temu

Sure, but I’m still talking about overall bugs, quality, and presentation.

That’s called “arcade,” basically.

It had a giveaway on Android, and I think iOS, 5 years ago. It’s certainly one of the most creative minimalist games out there, but I just couldn’t figure out how to get up to higher scores.

That’s not quite the same, though; bullet heaven ≠ twin-stick shooter.

Portal 2 was way better than Portal, which felt like mostly a really extended tech demo or proof-of-concept. Portal 2 felt like an actual, full, fleshed-out game.

Slice & Dice is better than Slay the Spire (not by much, to be fair, but… yeah).

That’s a big deal; I wouldn’t think much of the game if I had only played it on Easy the entire time. It really shines in Hard or Unfair!

Okay, I’m back to tell you that this at normal price is greater than any Steam Spring Sale discount. I’ve been having such a blast with the full version and negative regrets: https://programming.dev/pictrs/image/483a58c4-6791-424e-94ba-c8875491b2a5.png
