Greetings fay folk of the fediverse, It's the #SteamNextFest , to honor this celebration of the indie spirit, let's share our mutual experiences, and talk about the games that impressed you the most today
@ItalianSkeletonGaming@games not sure how well alt text federates, so for those wondering the games in the image are Jump4 (top) and ParaPerspective (bottom)
Haven't gotten around to trying any demos yet personally, but ParaPerspective looks like my kinda game as someone that enjoyed Echochrome
What online multiplayer games play well over wifi/higher latency?
I'm thinking turn-based games may work okay in this respect, but which of those might you recommend besides Civ? Also what other types of games work better over wifi/higher latency than you might expect?
I know ideally you'd simply wire up your system to not have to fuss with either, but it's not always an option in some circumstances.
Servers may be some of the issue, but the problem then is that a number of games, at least outside of MMOs, don't seem to give much of a choice on that. Presumably they're trying to connect to servers that should give a good experience, but... 🤷♀️
Regardless, the intent here isn't so much to troubleshoot networking issues, as it is to find games that may handle less reliable/rougher network situations decently, as much as is really possible anyway.
This is a great point (as well as others that have mentioned similar). I wonder if some of the old arena shooters from around then (or their open source offshoots) may handle just as well today, considering that.
I'll have to look into those that are still active and see! Thanks!
