Not single-player, but snipperclips is good, relaxed puzzle fun.

Goals are visual and easy to understand, each player controls a shape and they can cut each other to try and fit a predefined “hole” together. There are some physics puzzles based on cutting your shape in clever ways too.

Mistakes have no consequence and often lead to funny interactions. You can’t really lose, you just reset your shape and try again.

Yeah, I know. “I’ll try spinning, that’s a good trick” was a silly Star Wars reference too.

That’s an episode one line from kid Anakin that’s been meme’d to hell too :)

It’s an older replay but it still checks out

So you tried spinning, and that was a good trick?

brsrklf, rok temu do games w Clips from what I'm playing 🟥⚔️🟦 Beat Saber [CW: Flashing lights, VR perspective]

One of the first VR games I played was No Man’s Sky, on base PS4. Very low res and frame rate, teleport movement possible on foot but obviously not while flying spaceships. And I may have tried spinning a bit (that’s a good trick).

Got very sick, very fast.

Nowadays I’m mostly fine playing continuous movement, even relatively fast-paced one. Tunnel effect helps, when it’s available.

The only problems are on badly designed games (like those with forced, unpredictable “cinematic” camera movement, don’t do that in VR for fuck’s sake).

I play a lot of rhythm games, and I do play a lot of Beat Saber specifically now. Ragnarock and Pistol Whip (well this one is rhythm-adjacent) are two other VR music games I enjoy.

But I’ve never had a worse case of sore arms than back when I played Donkey Konga on the gamecube for the first time. I was hooked and played for hours. I didn’t notice anything while playing, but my arms were killing me for the whole night after that .

Yeah, I don’t have a NES anymore but I got that ROM on a hacked NES classic, and it works using the built-in emulator.

Donkey Kong was already in the NES classic, but of course it was the original NES version.

Note on Donkey Kong game boy, it starts with the 4 arcade levels then adds about a hundred more levels taking advantage of new moves and turning into more of a platform/puzzle kind of game.

This is really the starting point of what became Mario Vs Donkey Kong (which is another good GBA game to recommend, actually).

brsrklf, rok temu do gaming w favourite gameboy family games?

The original Donkey Kong is the arcade game. The NES port came later and was missing one of the four levels the arcade game had.

Strangely enough some licenced ports for the era’s computers were complete arcade ports unlike the in-house NES one.

On the Wii they released a “special edition” of NES Donkey Kong restoring the missing level.

It’s a bit short, but it’s among the great IGAvanias IMO. There with the 3 DS games, including its direct sequel Dawn of Sorrow of course.

brsrklf, rok temu do games w I didn't expect there would still be new games similar to Heroes of Might and Magic III nowadays

Also the GoG version of classic HoMM3 is perfecty playable and has the complete edition with extensions.

Prefer this to the HD edition on Steam though, that one only contains base game and can’t be modded.

Yeah, apparently SimCity itself was the result of Will Wright working on an helicopter shoot’m up and realising he had fun making maps for it.

That’s an interesting starting point for codifying a whole genre of games.

I don’t care a lot that people know I play Rimworld, Dwarf Fortress and Skyrim.

I haven’t played that Astrobot game (I don’t have a PS5) but I am not surprised with it being highly praised honestly.

Astrobot Rescue Mission was awesome, even forgetting about it being VR. It’s very fun and well designed, with new ideas all the way through, up there with Super Mario Galaxy to me. That team definitely knows their stuff.

One great thing about Okami is that because of its art style and direction, it ages quite well.

Not that this is very relevant to that wreck of a DMCA takedown, but IMO, yeah, these toys are absolute shit. Their ugly “style” make most of them absolutely unrecognisable without the label on the box. And yet they exist for absolutely anything.

They’re worse LEGO minifigures, without the excuse of being tiny and part of a construction set.
