Oh, it's just baby's first lateral thinking game.
what is manchild's last lateral thinking game?
Same thing as Expedition 33, really. They claim it reinvented Jarpigs and there's never been anything like it and it's game of the year. It's just they never played a good RPG before.Except sokobons are inherently unpopular so Void Stranger's fanbase can fool itself into thinking they have good taste.
I'm too dumb for this gameHad no idea you were supposed to join all the maps togetherWhen I got this spelled out for me I just didn't want to play it anymore
>>727740649i dont think you've played void stranger or any other sokoban games for that matter
>>727740796That's not very lateral thinking of you. That's just generic thinking right there.
>>727740896well have you?
>They claim it reinvented Jarpigs and there's never been anything like it
>>727740636planet eldorado
>>727740731oh is that what you were supposed to do. Yeah I'd have to care a whole hell of a lot more about the game before I busted out the graph paper to figure it out.
>>727741062why are you so fucking stupid
>>727740550I couldnt get into it because i dislike yuri
>>727740550Voided segment is the only good thing about this game. Everything else is tedious dogshit.
The meta concept is cool but the meat is a little too tedious to do 3, 4 times for the full experience
>>727740550>see threads here when it first came out>see streamers playing it>find out it flopped and is mega obscureAnother one of those games you'd think is more popular than it actually is
>>727742642you sure are fucking stupid
>>727742642it's just unique in a way that tickles a specific kind of autism for the first time.
If I run out of hp and end up with VOID do I need to restart the entire game?
>>727743173I figure it's a reference to greek mythology, which is vaguely clever but probably just super annoying if you don't see it coming because you're an illiterate retard.
>>727740550there are maybe like 3 games like iti cant even think about any other than la-mulana and E.S.A
>>727743173you are expected to be void on the first runif it's not your first run then restart
>>727743658this is the sort of thing I'm talking about. a sheltered existence.
>>727743732do not tell me what to fucking do
>>727743765go on, anon, name some games
>>727742201so you haven't and just wanted to use this thread to whine about e33 rather than the dozens of dedicated daily threads
>>727743732Ok thanks anon, I'll carry on then.
>>727743847he won't and if he will they'll be completely different
>>727742576anon you're not supposed to play all the levels more than once
>>727743173its fine, just keep going.
>>727745140optimally no but realistically you're going to unless you have a guide pulled up with all the secrets from the get go. No, you did NOT master skipping well enough to bounce around adroitly after your first full run.
>>727745349>No, you did NOT master skipping well enough to bounce around adroitly after your first full run.i didn't even make it through my one whole run without finding several ways to skip floorsmaybe you just suck
>>727740550Can someone just post a picture of the main character's huge knockers that's the only reason why we're all here
>>727740550If you want me to beepost you can just be honest
>>727745475>my first run
>>727745475skipping floors itself isn't the point, you need to know which floors have stuff worth skipping to and ehat to do when you get there. It's not a race to the end.
>>727742576Buddy, you can skip straight to the end after like 28 floors if you know what you're doing
>>727745475dunning kruger ass retard self report lol
>>727745585see>>727745631
>>727745580>the meat is a little too tedious to do 3, 4 timesthen what are you even saying here retard
>>727741568Good recommendation
>>727745727>the point of the game is to skip to the end several timesok
Should I play this if I like Baba is You?
>>727743847>>727743658this is so pathetic and predictable. It's no one's fault but your own if you're so fucking braindead that you can't track down games on your own.
>>727743658FEZ (for as much cock as Fish sucks)TunicMaze of Galious
>>727746224>Tunicthat is not the impression I got from what I've seen of the game. I thought it was just an isometric Zelda-like.
>>727746408yeah its got a second layer of puzzle stuff too. It was a good one.
>>727746408because you're fucking stupid and don't know anything, can't think for yourself, total retard, was this not already made clear to you? there's no point listing games for you when you can't see what the fuck is directly in front of your stupid fucking face.
>>727746224Is there any point doing maze of galious after doing both La Mulanas?
>>727746456hey, settle down okay?
>>727746456holy melty
>>727746117now THIS is pathetic and predictable, you're afraid to name games because you know they won't meet the standard and you'll be laughed at
>>727746408That's the normal ending.The good ending is different.
>>727746490What kind of retarded question is this?
>>727746880didn't I already tell you to settle down?
>>727746902he's a low-functioning autist off his meds
>>727746902I'm not the guy who flipped his stack earlier, I just thought that question was retarded.Like imagine someone plays Bloodstained or and then asks if there's any point in playing Symphony of the Night. It's fundamentally nonsense.
>>727747017la mulana seems to be on another level of "tribute" compared to bloodstained though.The nice answer would've been Maze has enough to stand on it's own merit and to recommend it :).Faggot.
>>727747009>medication for autism
>>727747173its called rat poison
>>727747173i dont live with your affliction so i dont know the details
>>727747123you sure are fucking stupid
>>727747235no wonder your threads die you fucking loser.
>>727746408It basically is. I enjoyed the level design of Tunic for the most part, the actual late game puzzle shit was really fucking dumb. 95% of it is trivial, the other 5% is only difficult because the other 95% conditions you into expecting it to be trivial.It's nothing like VS.
>>727747123Where do you think you are?If you want an endless fount of positivity, sunshine and rainbows, you're in the wrong place.
>>727740550i never beat this gamei just did one run into voidout and didnt save screenshots of anything
>>727748969No shit you didn't beat it, you didn't even get through the first third of the game.
>>727740649I still don't know how the fuck normalfags claim it reinvented JRPGs when it's yakuza (the turn based one) or persona 5 plus literal paper mario timed hits, all three which are journo's first JRPG so there's no way they don't know them.
>>727740550Too tedious. From the reviews a bunch of puzzles are made to be a community effort for out of left field they are. Yuri. Its popularity is surprising.
>>727749989>From the reviews a bunch of puzzles are made to be a community effort for out of left field they areThere is ONE community effort puzzle, and it was added after release to unlock a completely optional area with extremely hard puzzles as post-post-post-game content, and you can just look up the EX solution instead to skip replaying the game 50 times to get it by yourself.
>>727749649they dont mean the just the mechanics, they mean in not being a dogshit pile of tropes and godawful childrens tv show characters.
>>727750281the hardest solo puzzle is the snake world and thats not worse than anything in la mulana. It's a very good pure puzzler even if you don't do the crazy stuff, in fact. Its HARDER if you don't do them and go through ignorant.Taking my time in this post to say blue prince is one of the worst games ive ever played in my life btw.
>>727741568Holy kino
>>727752523then it failed in that when it's a westoid saturday morning cartoon that ends in it was all a le dream
>>727740550No item hard mode is genuinely hard.
>>727740550Playing as Cif with all burdens unlocked by default blew my mind after ~30 hours of suffering as burdenless Lillie. Burdenless Lillie is definitely harder than DIS Domain.
>>727755707definitely, but that DIS domain is a real fucking ballache of hard puzzles back to back to back.
Isles of Sea and Sky doesn't do any extreme meta puzzles but is very very good as one of those expanding scope puzzle games if you can stomach block pushers.
eus and tan were wasted opportunities
>>727755814I played it but quit after a few hours. It's more of a pure sokoban.
>>727740550>Good fun doing the first run.>Then the dread of realizing you need to replay the same puzzles over and over.>Then how most of the progression is a drip feed (after getting the upgrades)>Thought you would need to learn mechanics? No, almost all of it is spelled out to you after you get the ability to talk with thingsThis shit is designed to waste my time and minimize dopamine, since I don't look shit up. I was about to quit before I got to the 2nd character and puzzle pit. So now I guess I have to return at some point.
>>727740550as opposed to what
>>727742373Same, when I saw the story was lol lesbians I said fuck this.
>>727742373>>727759534Thought I was the only one, it felt woke as fuck.It went from extremely interesting to generic goyslop real quick.
>>727760258I wouldnt call it "woke" necessarily, but its yuri done by a westerner so it was even worse and more awkward than regular japanese yuri. Id call it cringe instead. Zero ranger has yuri too but its barely there so people dont even notice
>>727740636I dunno, La Mulana?
>>727741568t. Quentin Tarantino
>>727740550I knew good threads for this game were over when that faggot made a video.
>>727740550Stephens sausageroll is the real shit for non-tourisys, and jblows upcoming game maybe we'll see
>>727761821>30 bucks for a puzzle game that's less than a single GBlmao
>>727748969ok
>>727761989>no EX endings
>>727740550hmmm
>yuri?????????Are these posts bots? I thought it was motherly/older sister figure instead. What the fuckSure there's that npc in lillie's route but it's not a central point of focus. I fucking hate culture war trannies so much it's unreal. Void stranger is no perfect game but it's not woke shit, it's even pro-life
>>727761209It's crazy how much /v/ sucks for talking about videogames, you get a ton of contrarians just hating on games they never even played.
>>727762695Attractive women and some vague subtext like Grey seeing Eus as a chick brings out the mental illness, because they don't understand the difference between "we filled our game with cute chicks because we like cute chicks" and "we filled our game with women because we hate men".
>>727745532How about cifpost? Would you do that?
>>727745836Sure, I don't see why not.
>>727749649>E33 (30 hour adventure tragedy set in surreal art) is just like P5 (~200 hour High School dating fantasy VN) and is also indistinguishable from Bing Bing Wahoo>The normies who enjoyed E33 would understand this if only they had played both P5 and P5R all the way through on launch weekI assume you're Canadian. Speak to a healthcare provider about MAID.
>>727761209who
>>727740550you had to be thereyou will never recreate the feeling of playing this game with your /v/rosyou will have to look up souless guides when you get stuck, which you will, since you are retardedtoo bad
KINO
>>727768705
VS is very good but I was only able to beat Grey before realizing my minor autism wasn't going to be enough to finish the game.
>>727769171Holy shit kek fuck I am in tears
>>727742373>>727759534>>727760258>>727760381
Tunic mogs
>>727769451If you liked what you saw, it's worth playing through with a guide as long as you're cautious with it so as not to spoil the meta puzzles. The game pulls a lot of clever tricks as you progress, and even if you're cheating with a guide it's still way more impactful than watching a video.Lillie mode is hard so consider going back to Gray and poking around to see what other things you might find.
>>727770359No burdens Lillie is quite fun too
>>727770359I found I'm pretty sure I did everything possible as Grey up to this point. I just didn't have fun doing the level puzzles themselves, and being told "do it again but harder" was unappealing.It's a little frustrating because I really liked everything else.
>>727771157>being told "do it again but harder" was unappealing.I don't really see this as an argument, the alternate levels are all completely different, they just have the same basic layout.
>>727771701It's not like Lillie's portion of the game suddenly becomes minesweeper or something, it's still the same type of sokobon-esque puzzles you were doing as Grey. I'm not a fan of them to begin with, especially as they kept getting harder since I'm kind of a brainlet. It's not a criticism of the game at all.
The snake puzzle actually sucked assI usually like outside-the-game thinking but it was way to fucking poorly conveyed
>>727772540I agree, it's the only thing I had to look up because even knowing what to do wasn't enough and trying to fit the pieces just sucked.
I honestly don't love Sokoban puzzles fundamentally. I mean ive played Stephens sausage roll and Baba, but there is a inherent tedium and "oops now you fucked up" feeling that drags the game downGame was pretty good though
>>727762695They're retarded and didn't even play the game. The game is all about child birth and motherly love for your creations, and that can be seen in Lord Add's lore, Gray's motherly love for Lily, even if they are unrelated, and Lillie. You can even find Add's womb, and to the retard that didn't pay attention Gray is Lord Add, so all the creator and motherly imagery is centered on Gray. She's not a lesbian, and especially not for Lily..
>>727740550This is one of my games of all time and I'm glad to see it's being discussed. If you're still in the beginning parts, keep playing until you get to EX mode, it's very difficult
>>727763472Grey sees Eus as a chick because the thing she wants the most is to be a mother since Add had created the Void Lords but couldn't experience being a mother like the humans did
>>727772805>She's not a lesbian, and especially not for LilyOk but Tail looks like the Queen for a reason
>>727772420It's a progression of difficulty. The game gets more difficult as it goes on, the character changes are just breakpoints in the narrative. I don't see it as a justified critique because you should've worked that out after the first 20 levels, each level is just a bit harder than the last one and they introduce new mechanics every few dozen floors.
There's something about the story where like... alright, theres deep lore, alright theres a good setting and some mysteries, and the characters are generally likeable But then it HAS to be girls only!! No boys allowed!! Just like my animes (but please take it seriously we're not here to joke around)Like the writer just feels stunted at some point
>>727773227there are multiple male characters in the game
>>727772903I don't know how many times I need to say that the problem is with me, not the game.I wasn't having fun with it because I fundamentally don't enjoy doing it. Lillie's route was the breaking point where the puzzles I did enjoy wasn't worth the effort of doing the puzzles I didn't.
>>727773329Yeah, but... Are there though?
>>727773227The devs like drawing and writing cute women, I don't really see the issue.
>>727773550yes, did you even play the game?
>>727773329Actually there are just two, the Griffith rapist lookalike and the modern era dude that goes out with Gray.
>>727773852you missed at least three more characters
>>727773956Okay there's the knight or something that appear inside the void, the bandit, and those starving indians that eat locusts, but I wouldn't really call them "characters"
>>727774204And I first assumed Mon was a guy, but since all void lords are girls I changed my mind
>>727774204there's also the king, original scientist mon and eus
