does anyone here actually try out new games? or do you just sit around and wait to be told what to play.
>>719937102All the time. Every day I at least take a look at every game released in the last 24 hours, and buy/wishlist interesting ones.Just finish this fun little thing called Tiny Whiny Island.
>>719937102I only play it if sseth plays it
>>719937102I simply come here to shit on new popular games that I've never played.
I only play games that are popularrrI only play games the magazines tell me to buyyThat was I know I get good games for suure
>>719937102I play obscure h games all of the time.
>>719937102NeitherI just refresh the catalog 12 hours a day
>>719937102Buy an ad
I love playing obscure games so much. It's all I do. It also makes me better than you. Normie- sheep-cattle-dogs is all you are.
>>719937581I buy a new video game every time someone tells me to buy an ad.
>>719937609Damn, look at how many games there are. We can both play new indies and have none in common.
>"do you guys play games?">immediate seething and rage occurs
>>719937102New to me? Yeah, I try to keep my palette fresh. New to existing? Not as much as I wish. I just don't know many things that grab me that aren't like a decade old. The only game that I played from this year is Contract Rush DX. It's Ok so far. >>719937902I like Steam World Dig. Have you played the sequel?
>>719937609>>719937902You guys may be a bit stuck up, but you’re awesome for supporting indie devs that dont have big audiences. These games deserve a chance. I got too much stuff on my plate right now, but I try to find obscure stuff when I can. As a developer I try to study different genres of games to see what people find and interesting and why, so I like to play things out of my comfort zone to see what makes them tick. So many games to play, so little time. I ought to be playing less and developing more, but it’s all for “research” right guys? Its heartwarming to see anons willing to take a chance on experimental games. Im sure you guys are playing some neat stuff but you ought to try and recommend the most interesting ones you find.
>>719937323Looks pretty similar to the game where a tanuki is a deliveryman and has a bmx bike. You might like it. It's also sort of Tony hawk inspired, but with bike tricks instead of skateboard tricks.https://store.steampowered.com/app/3218570/TANUKI_Pons_Summer/
>>719938058>I like Steam World Dig. Have you played the sequel?Haven't played either. The first one is in my library, because it was free for a time, I think.>>719938191Yeah, haven't played the demo, but I do have it on my wishlist.
>>719937902Wait a second, Steam World Dig is like 13 years old.
I usually just buy games during Humble Bundles. I can't be assed to dig for games or pay console game prices.
>>719938128Half the fun of playing obscure games is being a snob about it, so it comes with the territory.
i just bought this because i liked the next fest demo, apparently it did well enough
>>719937609I had a friend like that who acted like an average /v/edditor and was super elitist about obscure vidya. I enjoyed him calling me normalnigger cattle because I knew he was just too autistic to express himself in a normal way and he could recommend some really good vidya. He sometimes had a meltie because I was better at vidya for example he raved about Alien Soldier but couldn't finish it and when I did he called me a secondary and said I got lucky and cheesed the game not that the game can be cheesed afaik. Good times. Unfortunately he succumbed to a bad case of alcoholism.
>>719937902We do have a bit of overlap, I played the children of the Sun demo, but it didn't make the cut for full acquisition. I think that is the case for night loops and And Roger as well. I have 500 hours in Hitman, it's my #2 most played after Stardew Valley.One time I saw a poster on here sharing his steam profile and asking for friends. I checked out his wishlist and it turns out the guy has practically identical taste to me, with one exception. Every so often I browse his wishlist and can find obscure game's tailored to me. You just have to ignore so the my little pony games, which, surprisingly, is not a small number.almost might have been worth being his friend, actually. He doesn't know I stalk him still.
>>719938610Oof good thing I stopped drinking. I also play single player only. No one can be better than me if they can't play.
>>719938717You really just need to take a look at reviews for an obscure game to find some people who play them a lot. Then you can check their profiles to find more games. There's surprisingly a lot of people like that.
>>719937609>>719937902Well? Which ones are good?
>>719937609Based
>>719937902>>719937609nothin in common on our lists of most recent
>>719938503>looks cute and comfy>read a review...Nigga why does it always have to be some subversive shit?
>>719937441Hopefully, I'll get through the game just fineI don't know why I continue to play each gameThey'll be making these 'til the end of timeOh, I guess that I will payFor these new games 'til Doomsday
>>719939716play the demo, its not a super dark story and the setting itself is really comfy, im not far enough to tell you how bad it gets but it feels more like a candle slowly burning out rather than a fully fledged doomed postapocalyptic nightmare if that makes any sense
>>719939517Fuck if I know, man, taste is kind of a subjective thing and games aren't like books or movies, I can knock off those pretty easily in a few hours but games are a much larger time investment than a typical book or movie.From that screenshot, the only games I have actually beaten are Deep Sleep: Labyrinth of the Forsaken, Trauma: Broken Paradise, The Drifter, Last Report and Undermine 2. But Undermine 2 was early access it might not count as "beating".Still 5 games in about a month is not a bad number. So you could consider the ones that drew me in enough to play the whole thing to be "the best". I suspect Siren's Well will be really good but I have to play the first two games in the trilogy before I can get there.
>>719939517Death Trick: Double Blind
>>719937102I don't have a lot of time so I don't really play obscure games but I also don't wait for others to tell me what to play. I learned what type of games I like a long time ago so I stick to those genres mostly. This year I've played>Rogue Trader>Jump King Quest>Final Fantasy 1-4>Tony Hawk 3+4>UFO 50>Life Is Strange Double Exposureand I'm currently playing Lost Records Bloom and Rage.I've enjoyed every game I've played this year.
Anyone here ever been to indie game conventions? They host a lot of those in japan.
>>7199376091899 Leipzig looks pure kino but I can't afford anything rn so I'm playing legionarys tale (new one also dropped but in EA)
>>719939517My favourites are:>https://store.steampowered.com/app/3308870/and_Roger/Actually my current indie of the year. It's short and cheap, so you don't lose much, even if you don't like it. In fact, you could even refund after finishing easily. Fun fact: the dev is a Japenese Christian.>https://store.steampowered.com/app/3517100/__Ko_ima_ni_ari/This one is short, too, but it's free. Note that it's rather dark and depressing. I know that some people can't play games like that. I say "play", but it's mostly "read".>https://store.steampowered.com/app/2324070/_/Webm related. Only in Japanese and Chinese (different store pages). It's a free prologue. A kind of RPG/puzzle game where you play around with words. There's a full, paid version available, but it's pretty expensive, so I haven't played it yet.
>>719938128Playing the games that no one else has is the best. For one, I can talk to the developers whenever I want. I can even insult them and they would still prefer that over radio silence. Seeing your game get released and getting no reviews and no forum posts is the worst.Even if I go on there and say something like: It doesn't make any goddamn sense that a demon would try to avoid getting sent back to hell, because demons live in hell, so it's not a huge deal for them to get sent there. The developer will just be like: "wow, this guy actually played all the way to the end."You sure can't do that with major label games. They never listen to a word anyone says. So yeah, I hang around the games with less than five reviews and stuff like that.
>>719937609What made you buy Spy Drops?
>>719941368>For one, I can talk to the developers whenever I want. I can even insult them and they would still prefer that over radio silence.Have you ever went from that situation to the developer finding massive success and no longer responding?
>>719941580Well, I really liked his previous game, Vaccine: Rebirth, which was the exact same concept but with Resident Evil instead of Metal Gear Solid. That might just be a personal preference thing though. I like Survival Horror over stealth so that might be the only reason why I think his earlier game was superior. Vaccine only managed 21 reviews.Anyway, Spy Drops is pretty good, I like the slow-mo that plays when you kick people in the head from behind, but I haven't played it very much yet. And actually there's a much more polished version of the concept of "Resident Evil Roguelike" coming out soon. There's actually several but this is the one I'm thinking about right now:https://store.steampowered.com/app/1848610/Rogue_Mansion/
>>719942063Rogueslop is falling out of favour with me due to oversaturation of the market but this looks like it could be an actual great game
>>719937102all I play is factorio
>>719941772well... I did buy Stardew Valley on launch day but I don't think I bothered to talk to the guy. Then again, even though he's famous now you can still talk to him pretty easily so that doesn't even really count.I spoke to Manon Gage once, I suppose. She was the lead actress in Immortality but she hasn't exactly found fame past the video game even though she's pretty talented.One time a game developer used my steam review for that bit of the trailer where you flash quotes quickly from news agencies except he didn't have any of those so he had to use mine. He later took it down though and made a different trailer.
>>719942063>>719942265It has AI voice slop in it. It's a very criminal and nasty way to make a game. It should be pulled off Steam for this shit, not praised and bought.
>>719942393uh oh bros the indie game that didn't crack 100 reviews didn't have a budget for voice actors. Now I think what we should do here is tailor the execution method to a popular fetish so we kill two birds with one stone so to speak because you can't be doing this stuff.
>>719942393Honestly who cares? You're making the wrong comparison between paid-VA's and AI-VA, when the truth with low budget small team/single dev indie games is that it's a choice between AI-VA and no VA at all.
>>719942393lol wat r you goin to do, boycott the game? I don't think it'll do much when sales r already in the toilet.
>>719937102>does anyone here actually try out new games?Rarely. I'm trying Death Stranding out for the first time today, I doubt I'll like it.
>>719937102you think i got time for that shit?
>>719941368I like it when the dev doesn't listen to naysayers and just insults them right back and doesn't change a thing.
>>719942492>>719942574>>719942663Good morning saars!
I used to. Now I'm honestly crippled by choice paralysis, or something adjacent. It fucking kills me that there are 50 games released a day and I'd have to dig through walls of asset flips to find anything.
The Ravensburg developer's enthusiasm is pretty wholesome too. When she got 20 reviews she practically threw a parade and added 3 dungeons, 3 romanceable characters, and new missions and a whole bunch of stuff.>700 sales?>this is success beyond my wildest dreams
>>719942865It's the middle of the night, man. ...You wouldn't happen to live in a region of the world where the sun is rising at the moment, would you?
>>719941368>It doesn't make any goddamn sense that a nigger would try to avoid getting sent back to africa, because niggers live in africa, so it's not a huge deal for them to get sent there.
>>719937102Checking pirated releases is part of my daily routine and I usually end up playing a new game every 2-3 days or so.
I've been playing Metal Eden recently.Basically it's a budget Doom Eternal in the aesthetic/setting of something like Ghostrunner(complete with jaded creator voice in your ear who will totally not be a final boss) but I really enjoy it, I think more than I did Eternal.Will be playing Outward once I'm done with it.
>>719937102With the deluge of unfinished and shit games releasing constantly?Yeah i'll just wait till the mob loses their shit at the next semi decent game.
>>719943684>Taste? Nah, don't need one. I'll let other people decide what games I play.
>>719943913Welcome to /v/.
>>719943913I can still choose what to play, it just let's me know what might be intresting.Didn't buy lethal company, peak or silksong etc.
>>719943913NTA but I understand his point of view. I do the same with music, I just pick what to listen to from what's popular, what my friends are listening to, and what the algorithm recommends. That's because although I enjoy music in the background I don't care about it THAT much. Sure there's probably some amazing obscure bands and genres I could find if I dedicate a couple of hours every day to listening and filtering through them but I have other things I'm already busy being passionate about. I guess I would be "casual music listener", so that anon is also just a casual video game player which is fine.
>>719941232yeah i am looking forward to finding time to getting around to playing casebook 1899.
>>719944295Wrong, i have nothing i'm passionate about and just live to rot.Good for you though.
https://store.steampowered.com/app/334940/Yokus_Island_Express/this one was one sale recently and it was really good. it's a pinball metroidvania. it's short, like 6 hours long. I liked it so much I got all the achievements for it. which is very rare for me.
>>719944295>I do the same with music, I just pick what to listen to from what's popular, what my friends are listening to, and what the algorithm recommendsthat is honestly really sad to me. i know theres something out there that would probably really resonate with you but because of your attitude you will probably never find it :(
>>7199441272 of those games require friends so that doesn't surprise me
>>719944963Why do you have to be mean?
>>719944295I kind of do that, but ended up finding obscure bullshit anyway. If you like Sonic CD's OST look up redheadbanddude. I also like Lucky Tapes for the most autistic reason: there's this one YT channel that's just a guy transforming toy Transformers and Beast Boxes I'm subscribed to, and it uses their music from time to time.
>>719944759I know, but the same could apply to movies, TV shows, western cartoons, visual novels, books, tabletop or card games, sports, hell maybe even porn. I am convinced that with an open mind you can eventually find something meant just for you, but there's just not enough time to enjoy them all. You gotta pick your battles.
>>719945187i would reccomend you some music but we probably dont have the same taste.
>>719945095>If you like Sonic CD's OST look up redheadbanddude.Cool. Do you know any other small time VGM composers? I might need to commission one at some point.
>>719945057I just tell the truth, face your reality
>>719945384Off the top of my head, there's +TEK, the guy responsible for the Skeleton Boomerang OST (the Disco Necropolis guy if you have heard that), RRtheil who did Annalynn's, I forgot the name of the guy he recently collabed with, and there's the Donut Dodo soundtrack guy. I'm a bit out of date. I avoided YouTube for about three weeks as part of a boycott that turned into a personal challenge.
>>719945649i love you
>>719939517not skald, that game sucks
>>719945909I remembered another: Megabaz.
>he doesn't scroll through new queues until he finds a game that looks cool
>>719937102>or do you just sit around and wait to be told what to playWrong. If you come to /v/, you're to be told what not to play. which is everything
I found one
>>719937102this looks like one of those games made to showcase bad art instead of good gameplay. make a good game if you want me to play it.

>>719947886Welcome to video games, kid. Hope you stay long enough to stop playing in a super popular, piss easy language and join us, Real Gamers, who only play games that aren't available in English at all.

>>719948276>>719947886>playing games with codified language systemsOkay, so, real gamers eschew the concept of formal language altogether and play period accurate games with expressive grunts.
>>719937102I am STILL FUCKING WAITING FOR POKE ALL TOADS TO RELEASE, WHERE IS MY FUCKING GAME YOU DUMB FUCK I KNOW YOU USE THIS BOARD
yeah well I play that game they made for blind people but I can see so there
>>719949195Are you talking about the what if my girl was a frog game
>>719949312no, i am talking about poke all toads, which is why i mentioned poke all toads
>>719949168>animation and graphicsLmao, if I wanted to look at things, I'd go to a museum to view paintings or cinema to watch a movie. Miss me with that normalfag shit.>https://store.steampowered.com/app/1300600/Blind_Drive/>>719949232Try this one as well, by the way. It's actually pretty fun and it's best to play with your eyes closed.
>>719939634>DX Ball 2Huh. I loved the first game back in the day, never knew there was a second one.
>>719949168Forgot to mention in my previous post, but wishlisted. Love me a pointan-clickan, especially with at least half-competent pixel art. And this one won't have ironic pseudo-witty nu-writing, since there's no talking. And the MC is cute.
>>719937102Nextfest threads are always full of anons trying out new things you hipster faggot
>>719949601I didn't like it because in normal games of a pixellated object is kind of drawn poorly you can just examine it and see, oh, it's a cigar, okay, there's lots of brown cylindrical objects that exist.In that one there's no dialogue. I have no fucking clue what I am holding and no one will tell me a goddamned thing.
>>719949741>I can only discover new games during the three yearly designated demo festivals, no other timeOkay so this is the thread for free thinkers and uncharted explorers, not corporate sluts.
>>719949939>mans calling other people sluts while he has indie dick in every orificePlaying "obscure" games doesnt make you interesting
>>719937609>The DrifterDamn I remember seeing the demo and just now knowing it released, going to pick it up.
>>719950002>while I may spread my legs for every man on earth you spread your legs for your husband so you see we are essentially the same

>>719950137you are gay and you do not even play videogames
>>719937102I'm fussy about the games I want to play, I only like specific genres, not just any vidya
>>719949820Ah, that could be a problem, true.>>719950317Nice. We'll see how much redrawing is going to help then.
>>719937102No indies, I only suck off big corporations
>mfw friend has started to spend hours asking questions about a game to make sure it's worth playing instead of just starting it and finding out in five minutesWhat the fuck is he so afraid of, he's driving me insane
>>719949939>Okay so this is the thread for free thinkers and uncharted explorers, not corporate sluts.Based. Keep putting these /v/ subhumans into their place, anon.
>>719937102Yes I prefer to play cheap clones of old AAA games instead of actual old AAA games because it makes me feel specialAlso old games are clunky ugggggh so clunky
>>719950823Why are retarded subhumans like you incapable of understanding the concept that maybe I have already played those old games to death, and want more of the same, which modern AAA isn't giving?
>>719937102Yes, I do. Some of them turn out to be disappointing or not really interesting, but I also find some that I quite enjoyed. Like the Drifter, Loco Motive or Beyond the Ice Palace 2.
Clunk
>>719949195Still plenty of time, anon.
>>719942063>Vaccine: Rebirthstatus?
>>719941341>moji yuugiI've been waiting for this one for quite some time. for some fucktarded reason, the devs forgot to add a framerate cap so it will fry your cpu and gpu unless you use something like rivatuner
>>719938347date added to library anon, not date released
>>719954787In nvidia's control panel (AMD's too, probably) you can set max fps for all or specific programs. Because I like indies and play demos too, I have this set to 150 (twice my monitor's default).Before I did that, my record was over 11k fps in a small pixel game.
>>719938503I thought you guys hated AI art
>>719956129The store page doesn't mention AI. Doesn't look to me like AI either. If anything, I'm surprised that it doesn't have the LGBT tag, but maybe it's just those colours.
SCAVENGER-SV
On a whim I bought and completed this game the other day after seeing someone mention it in a thread here;https://store.steampowered.com/app/2411100/Mind_Control_Bloody_Renaissance/Going off achievement stats I think I might have been the 2nd or 3rd person to ever complete it. Felt super scrubbish but there's something special about playing a very amateur project that took some guy 7 years to make.
>>719947498whats the source of the gif

https://store.steampowered.com/app/3349490/Quantum_Soteriology/>This is not fiction. And this is real, the story of over a decade of abuse experienced by this autistic plural trans lesbian.

Experience the accounts of the events as they unfold. Navigate and click through menus to unlock the secret behind the mystery.Anyone find any more games made by actual schizophrenics. The amount of reviews just being people throwing bible quotes at each other elevates the experience further, I'm afraid playing this game will soil my opinion on it
>>719961543I've heard Mongol is super ultra schizo, haven't tried it myself though.
I wish /mu/ or /tv/ had these kinds of threads ;_;

>>719956129I have never once seen an anon accurately detect AI art yet.
>>719963030It's a real problem for some people. Part of the reason they hate it so vociferously is because they cannot tell when it is happening.
>>719961543They appear every so often but since I don't really care about them I didn't really note down their names so it might be hard to track them down now. I might take a look though.
>>719964468Maybe this one?https://store.steampowered.com/app/3805810/Last_Look_along_Woodward_Boulevard_Demo/
>>719961916These threads are rare because people who actually try new things are pretty uncommon. Too scared to ever give time or money to something that might not turn out that great.
>>719965409I think a bigger reason that they are rare is because retards seethe at them for some reason. Just take a look at this thread. They're seething at the concept itself of playing an actually obscure game, not even any distinct game.
>>719965695The problem is all these games are janky and derivative of something better, so why wouldn't you just go play the superior, more popular game.If you pick the worse game just because it's obscure, you're just a hipster and everybody hates hipsters.
>>719937102Yeah. You should also check back when the next Steam Next Fest is around. We had a good series of threads going, a good number of interesting games were discovered. Big plus is that you don't have to pay for anything, just play a demo.
>>719966074>all these gamesYou know "all these games"? Well over 10k per year on Steam alone, and you can talk about all of them. Damn, I thought I was a real video game connoisseur.Since we're already talking, master, teach me, what is the better, superior version of And Roger and Ko Ima Ni Ari that were mentioned in this thread already. Somehow I can't stop thinking about them since I finished them, so I'd like to see their true potential.

>>719966950Please ignore diamond-dozen newfags who believe that all indie games are bad and that the only good games is AAA megacorp trash.

>>719958040>anon so conditioned by shitty western games that he doesn't realize that actual yuri is very nichehate to see it
I only buy games on a whim these days, and pretty much only indie games. No hype, no e-celeb opinions, no AAA shit.I'm rarely if ever disappointed.
>>719937102>does anyone here actually try out new games? or do you just sit around and wait to be told what to play.You mean do I waste my money? No I do not
No, everyone here hates games. We dont play them, we only get angry about them.
>>719967221Yes, it's sad, because I have nothing against those colours. But it's a fact that most things that have them are like that.And are you sure it actually has yuri and it's not just your headcanon? Because games that have yuri do get the LGBT tag, even if it's only yuri, without transformers. You know what the L stands for.

>>719968426>one of the girls die in front of his boyfriendO_O
>>719949168Just copying AAAhttps://youtu.be/4h7vyIZUcYE?si=6saXMGNswwbMTqph
>>719941228Went to a retro game convention here in Sweden a couple of years ago that had a big section for indies, was pretty fun to chat with some of the devs.
>>719937102As a 2010 newfag, I've never once bought a single thing /v/ has recommended or told me to play.
>>719968426Nice, I think I'll check the game after all.
>>719949168>period accurate game>with cavemen, dinosaurs and astronauts
>>719937609Been eying Skald. Would have jumped on it already if not for muh backlog.
Speaking of obscure indie games: write reviews.You may or may not know this already, but until a game reaches 10 reviews, its basically invisible on Steam, it doesn't appear in recommendations and so on.So, especially when you play a game that has less than 10 reviews, try to post one. If you don't feel like writing an essay, just type "fun game" or something. Doesn't even need to be positive. Even a negative review is probably better than nothing, since it counts just the same.Your review does matter: it gives +10% towards the goal of 10 reviews.
>>719937102Games I played this year.>path of achraEasy, shallow, lack content. There are like three different play styles everything else is just superficial variation of. Worse the actual playing the game is worthless, so it's all about character building which is what I said.>slay the spireheard about the game for year. Finished it and I was like "that's it?"Really disappointed, I don't get how people have hundred or thousand of hours in it.>song of syxThe whole game is just, "you do this, but with 3% better yields!" I HATE how research work in this game.>rift wizardsimilar to path of achra, but better on all fronts. Still share most of the problems, even more when it comes to balance.But the version I pirated is several months old and the only newer version I found was some shady shit I didn't want to download.It's a fun enough game, but when I saw the price on steam I got to wonder what the fuck the dudes are thinking.>binding of isaacplayeded the game when it came out and didn't like it. Playeded the game now and it's more or less the same but with more bloat. It's not a fun game. Also having to check the wiki to know what the fuck items do is gay as fuck.
>>719970107I'm not sure how much it matters to go from 6 to 7 reviews or 14 to 15. I feel like at those numbers it's all academic.
>>719970185Most people know binding of Isaac is garbage at a glance because the art style is so atrocious.
>>71997044114 to 15, not much, but still something. 6 to 7 could mean that the game reaches 10 on the second day since release, for example, instead of two weeks later, if it stops at 9 without your review.And, of course, first days are the most important.
>>719937102I amble around looking for fun stuffs yeah
>>719971589Well I don't always get around to them quickly anyway.
>>719970185 Based take on Slay the Spire. People act like it’s some endlessly deep roguelike but once you beat the heart and see how narrow the viable deck paths are, the illusion falls apart fast. It’s Diet Strategy for people who think “draw 5 cards every turn” is galaxy brain. Also with you on Isaac. The second I saw "trinkets that do nothing until you get 10 of them and maybe they combine into something random" I noped again. Roguelike bloat is out of control, devs think adding 1000 passive items = replay value.
>>719972926>>719970185Just curious but what do you guys think of Balatro?
>>719968123Look at her go!
>>719972926>once you beat the heart and see how narrow the viable deck paths are, the illusion falls apart fastShitter mentality, yes there are obviously builds that are stronger than other but you're free to do what you want >>719971421Shut up zoomerIf you didn't play dozens of flash games with similar styles you shouldn't be allowed to post here
>>719937102>or do you just sit around and wait to be told what to play.I do thisspecifically by /v/
>>719937102I've been screaming into the void hoping more people play Three Wishes, Robot Girl's Dream, and DRAPLINE. I'd also shill Demigoddess!, Dream Tactics, and Outrider Mako, but the former is basically a jankier version of Dominions made by a Japanese dev and the latter I've only played five minutes of. Ditto on the latter for Outrider Mako.
>>719973527Also forgot Cleanfall. I genuinely hope the dev does manage to turn it into turret monstrosity Noita with a meido lolibot.
>>719973527I've been following Demigoddess on twitter for a while, how does it compare? Is it at least less overwhelming for a beginner than Dominions?
>>719967059>swaps mentioned
>>719973017>BalatroPretty weak as well. My expectation was that it would ramp up to some "summon exodia" bonkers shit like that. Instead is just the poker mechanics becoming less and less important as you play replaced with just getting the right jokers.Also bonus, Noita.It's the best one of the other I named, but still feel like an half-finished game.Everything outside the 'main' dungeon is lacking in content (while being obtuse to hide this). The wand-making is a lot less exciting than what it looked like at the start, machinegun-wands are too OP. The game is designed to be broken, but when you do you are left with something easy and tedious.Everything about the perks is infuriating. Horrid design.It's still a cool game worth playing.
>>719973669this actually convinced me to buy it just now.
>>719974418>Is it at least less overwhelming for a beginner than Dominions?For sure. The combat's automated like Dominions. Honestly, I haven't played too much of it so I can't speak on how its mechanics play compare to Dominions, but since you're also dealing with far fewer units and commanders, the midgame likely doesn't devolve into plotting the movements of a gorillion units across the entire map. Plus, the game itself prides itself on having each game take only about an hour to beat or something, so that also tells you it's more beginner-friendly.Arguably, it's more of a gateway into Dominions proper than Conquest of Elysium, but with anime girls.
>>719973527Impeccable taste, im going to wait until drapline goes out of early access to play it though, had a lot of fun with robot girl's dream
I enjoy discovering lesser-known games to enjoy but both my time and energy are limited so my wishlist just winds up growing.The demo fests are fantastic for letting me try out a bunch of stuff, made better by the actual videogame threads during them helping curate the crap and the fun ones that I may have otherwise missed.
Type-NOISE: Shonen ShojoWander StarsConsume MeAbsolumKeeperMina The HollowerI will be trying all of these soon when they come out.
>>719937609You almost got me. You almost had a list full of games that I have never heard of.HOWEVERI win, bitch.
>>719941102>>UFO 50based
>>719941228No, but on the subject of this thread, I'm really looking forward to this game and will play it as soon as it comes out.
>>719937609>play AAA game>its fucking dope>play old school game>its fucking dope>play indie game>its fucking dope>gonna eat pizza and watch Contagion with my dad later tonightWhat a comfiest day in a long time anons.Also if anyone cares the games areAAA: Dying Light 1Classic: Donkey Kong 2Indie: ConscriptSince this is about new games im gonna shill ConscriptIf you like classic survival horror but want a new twist on it try it. Its one of the gew games i played that does the "humans are the real monster" trope well. Great sound design and the graphics are kind of GBA inspired, looks very unique. Like digitized sprites, not classic sprites.
>>719943119Holy sou->Steam asks me to sign up to view the contents of this gameYeah, nah, cringe. Fuck off.
>>719937102There are tons of cool tiny games I wouldn't even know existed without being told by someone. /v/ is good at finding super niche indie space games like delta v rings of Saturn. Awesome game and dev. The demo is even the entire game.
>>719978778>Wander Stars>collect words>befriend rivalsIs this fucking indie Little Town Hero? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MI92fmne9ks
>>719979765Never heard of this before, but damn, they are pretty fucking similar, aren't they? Only difference is this one is more blatantly anime focused and made by Brazilians.
>>719937102I find all the games I play via streamers/youtubers and /v/

>>719980263Also probably will help knowing that Little Town Hero was complete ass that the devs would know what to avoid doing.
>>719980873>https://store.steampowered.com/app/2118420/Stories_from_Sol_The_GunDog/I played and enjoyed thisWould like a sequel
>>719938503Looks cute but I dunno about the tea making gameplay.
