Hades was truly excellent but Transistor is my favorite Supergiant game. The ending hits so hard emotionally and the music and art style are so sumptuous!

I am going to start a second playthrough of Disco Elysium now that the expanded and fully voiced version is out. Given that it’s my personal Game of the Decade (together with Bloodborne) I expect I’ll have a hell of a time. I think this time my detective will be an ultra-nationalist feminist with 9mm finger guns and…

I finally uninstalled this piece of shit game. Was playing it on PC and was getting pretty terrible performance, fairly frequent crashes (every time someone tried to join my game or I’d try to join their game the game would crash). But its most cardinal sin is that it is boring. It does not have huge open areas like…

I love Unity of Command and I was excited about Barbarossa expansion but I’m freakin’ tired of playing as the Germans on the eastern front, and I’m tired of Germans being the “default” side in many WW2 games (not the base Unity of Command 2 where I got to play as Allies though).

Thanks! It’s sad though that what we need more of is some basic care and a little extra effort (like better representation in media for instance). :(

I run a D&D club at the high school I teach at. Last year one of my Syrian students came into the club with a friend, he had little interest in playing, but he was flipping through the PHB (that’s Player’s Handbook if you don’t know), saw a vaguely Arabic-looking character and said “I want to play that!” I helped him…

Would 100% play. Would even buy a day one DLC that lets me punch Walker repeatedly in his stupid dumbass smug face.

I picked it up and it’s lovely; it is like a blend of Carcasonne and Suburbia.

Actually yes! It’s like a blend of Carcasonne and Suburbia and it’s just LOVELY!

I picked it up for free through Epic Store. Played it for about 8 hours, then uninstalled it. I had much better with with the Mad Max game that was basically the same thing only the combat was more fun, the vehicle customization was way better, even the writing was better. This game basically screams lazy. Everything…

I hate roguelikes and I absolutely love Hades. Pick it up - you won’t be sorry! Sunk so many hours into it without it ever feeling repetitive.

I don’t know about the double-jump legs, but the higher jump legs have made many side gigs so much easier and I did find a few interesting places on roofs that I otherwise would not have been able to reach on foot.

My rig is about 5 years old with a video card upgrade a couple of years back. Ran pretty well once I capped the fps at 30. Did not crash once; there were only a couple of times I had to reload my game because a quest glitched or a vehicle got stuck in the terrain - which is a hell of a lot more polished than a lot of…

I finished it yesterday, 85 hour playthrough, finished all side gigs and police quests. Personally I had an absolute blast, I thought it was exactly the game I wanted. It did not crash once on me, but it did chug even after capping framerate at 30fps. I really enjoyed my time with Panam, Judy, River, and even Johnny…

The Gamecube. I worked an awful summer job just so I could buy the Gamecube and a few games for it. Once I had played those games (SSBM, Eternal Darkness, and RE4) it just gathered dust as there was nothing else out for it that I really wanted to play. It’s still gathering dust actually, still probably works. In…

Was about to make the same comment then I saw yours! You bastard, have a star!

For me it’s Western RPGs. I grew up playing those and found it difficult to get into JRPGs when I got my first console (PS2). I found the turn-based combat to be boring, the characters shallow, and the story linear. There are some great JRPGs that I have enjoyed since but I still dislike how linear all of them are.…

This may be the closest I get to playing Breath of the Wild since I don’t own a Switch. Will wait for reviews first to see if it’s just more Odyssey (which is great but after 200 hours with it I’m done) or if it’s something different.

I was also a backer (huge CoH and Scythe fan), was disappointed by it. Very little actual strategy required. Wave tactics work just fine most of the time because the AI is quite dumb. I was also not a fan of the base building (very basic), the relatively basic mission design in campaign (spoiled by Starcraft 2), and…

I gave it an honest shake, about 10 hours, then I uninstalled and went back to playing Three Kingdoms. I’m glad Troy exists, it might get better with time, it was also free, but it is so so so boring on both the tactical and strategic level. On the latter level, as the review said, you are constantly spammed with…
