I understand the statement is about in-game stuff, but I’m guessing a lot of game developers have been using GitHub Copilot and this kind of “AI tools” for months.
Unions don’t work the same way in all european countries.
In France, the union I belong to is organized by local company and public service, with a spawling system of dual cascading federations by geographic sector and economic sector.
And there are several competing national union organizations which overlap. I don’t know exactly how the other ones are organized
Picross games are the Nintendo version of the pen-and-paper puzzles called nonograms. I’m pretty sure you can find this kind of puzzles on steam or websites.
I’m requesting for recommendations for games that stand out from the rest in their genre, and not in the sense of being the best game in that niche but actually bringing something new and innovative to the table. I’ve not had much experience in gaming, but I have a few games to give you a hint on what I am talking about:...
Fez: a 2D plateformer in which you can change the perspective to create ways to unreachable plateforms
Baba Is You: a puzzle game in which you move blocks with words written on them, combining them to create small phrases which become new rules of the game.
I agree with you about a 3D Mario: it’s absolutely not incompatible with the release of Wonder. Also, it would be a good candidate to showcase the graphics of the new console, without taking much risks.
Mario Kart/Splatoon/Smash bros. They need a multiplayer game. For Mario Kart and Smash Bros, they have the same (fist world) problem: the switch versions have so much content that it’s difficult to hit harder. And it’s not nice of me, but I feel like they wouldn’t mind milking the Splatoon players.
Animal crossing. The license gained so much new fans with AC:NH, it would be suprising if they don’t try to take advantage of this new popularity.
My wife loves games with that sort of gameplay loop, where you have a main gameplay style/loop within a world of people and places you get to know for both flavor and gameplay benefits. Persona is a series and SDV a game that we have put a lot of time into together. She was talking about playing P4 again, but I crave novelty....
Recently released Lakeburg Legacy. It’s a small realm simulation: you build various workshops, allocate workers, gather resources, produce items to fill the need of the population.
And in the same time, each citizen had a love life, you can find them partners, chose talking subjects for their first date, decide if they should mary or not, some of them will break up after cheating on their partner…
The most interesting upgrades for me are Absorbing Man and, in a lesser extent, Hawkeye.
Absorbing Man, 4/3 was a way under the curve and it was hard to find an on-reveal effect to compensate this weakness. But 4/5 is pretty standard, so I wouldn’t be surprised to see AM duplicating Carnage, Venom, Korg, Debrii, Thor… Also, I feel like there’s something new to do with Black Panther (maybe in a Eletro Zola deck ?)
About Hawkeye, there is a niche for a 1/4 card: between the 1/3 cards with double-edged effects (Blade, Zero) and stronger cards with stronger drawbacks (Ebony Maw, Titania) or specific triggers (Human Torch, Winter Soldier). And I agree with you: with bounce back effects, there may be interesting things to do with this humble card.
