I mean to be fair, we already had like 3 indie game threads, as well as various specific genres. bullet heaven, metroidvania, roguelike, etc..View attachment 458073
FirstBubbles has a funny meme, and now
Mist with a good thread.
What is going on?

This thread would be a lot less shitty if it was discussion on the games and not just a bunch of steam links

On a related note: I made a Metroid Prime Remastered thread because people were calling for one in the Nintendo Switch thread, then it just died on the vine after a few posts. I guess I over-estimated Metroid's new-found popularity.

not personally. Splattercat did. Did not look fun for what I saw. clunky combat. not the kind of combat I like to see in metroidvanias. at 17:00min or so he gives his opinion. "bog standard metroidvania". "eh, its fine". sticking point is price.
Edit: actually at 28min he actually tries other weapons... and it looks way more interesting at that point. a wizard staff, chain whip... he was just using a slow clunky sword the entire time..
he does then also comment on enemies having contact damage, while not taking enough knockback from your damage. which is a pita in many games for sure.

Fun little game that’s been in early access for like 7 years. It’s basically just a D&D class and battle simulator. The arena mode is just right after fight, continuously getting harder. Able to buy and equip things in between fights. Adventure mode has a map, dungeons, mines, towns, trading, quests, etc. bought it for my dad and he puts dozens of hours into it for weeks. It was on sale for $6 or so when I got it. Well worth that if you want to play some battles like the old gold box game.

Got Powerwash Simulator on PS5. Not a bad deal for $25. Good game to relax with after a long day when you're too tired to engage with anything more substantial. It just got a Final Fantasy 7 themed DLC addition too at no extra charge, which is what put it over the top for me. I bet a few people here would like it.
