The talos principle 1 & 2. Playing through 1 now, and it’s excellent. Some of the puzzles are complex, but most can be solved in 5-10 minutes and give a nice “ah-ha!” moment. It reminds me of portal 2, but with a heavier and more ambiguous story about the nature of life and consciousness. Highly recommended.

Also been playing some Dome keeper and Peglin. Both also excellent in their own ways.

2d isometric vs 3d first person. One format clearly lets stories breathe better, but that doesn’t mean half life isn’t story driven.

Rogue tower is another great game with rogue in its name.

Fantastic tower defense.

They didnt issue a DMCA takedown request, which has a legally prescribed back and forth for removing copyrighted, or assumed copyrighted material.

They instead told the registar itch.io was committing phishing/fraud crimes. The registar clearly knee jerked on being told the domain was engaged in illegal acts, but it was Funko and their vendor Brandshield that lied about that in the first place.

And yet Blackwater has renamed itself again and again.

Apparently there is a “whoops, too much” level of villainy, even for villain factories.

I have no doubt that there were “drug lord” amounts of drugs around 80s David Bowie.

Its something of a mystery game. You wake up in an unfamiliar place and have a nebulous goal.

Letting the clues of the story build is a big part of the experience.

You can still customize it, but it has hard minimum at what I think is $7. The old humble had no minimum at all. They also deceptively set the “default” cost 1 tier above the actual “get all the items” cost for bundles. A very irritating and obvious dark pattern.

Just IGN brutalizing a beloved name in gaming via enshittification to make its money back.

They sold to IGN a few years ago.

It was also when they introduced a $7 minimum humble tip for the bundles

I’m glad they are going to take the DLC from the alpha state they released it in to an actual product people will want to buy.

They should have done that before they started selling it, especially for such a beloved franchise, but at least they are willing to go the cyberpunk route and actually fix the broken game they released.

They have still burned a lot of goodwill. I was planning on a day 1 purchase, but got caught up at work and ended up seeing the terrible reviews first, thank fuck. I sure won’t be buying this until it’s done, and I’ll wait on all future DLC too, if they happen.

Okay, so they got the game “somewhat working” live? Well, that’s something I guess.

I guess that explains why the commentor above posted a pre-recorded video instead of the actual live video that undermines his argument that the game is nearly done.

I’m just working off the video linked above. No video of the player, no commentary, no indication a person was actively playing it.

If they actually played it live, well bully for them. One point goes to star citizen.

Man, when you have to compare someone to literal fascists because they don’t trust your untrustworthy videogame company, you have a problem.

They released the game to the public this weekend? That is amazing.

Ohh, they didn’t? This is still not available? The FPS spin off that isn’t even the main game? They said it was played live but don’t show anyone playing it live? They just made more promises, the thing they are still doing after 700 million dollars and more than a decade has passed?

Okay then.
