I haven’t made a new thread weekly exactly, but with the amount of activity it might need to be fortnightly, here’s another recommendations thread.
Let everyone know below a game (6+ months old), that you have played recently, are currently playing or intend to play soon.
Played and completed Return of the Obra Dinn a couple of weeks ago. It’s a walking logic puzzle wrapped in a very distinct art style. I have to say despite my worries on the style causing motion sickness, that never happened. It’s a really well-done game. It rarely goes on sale too!
I tried this a couple of years ago, The story seems intriguing but after hours and hours playing I feel like I’m not really good at this and my eyes are tired with the monochrome pixel style. I mean I can play Game Boy games for hours but honestly to use the same visual style in a genre where you need to read a lot and to look at things really hard, it’s really tiring.
Sorry to hear, I do think it’s not for everyone. I’m just glad I didn’t have an issue in the end and got to enjoy the game for what it is, which luckily is something (logic puzzles) that I do enjoy normally.
I felt so proud when I finished that whole game without any hints. I was close to giving up a few times, but I’m so glad I kept pushing. It was so absolutely satisfying to walk off the boat knowing I’d done it all myself.
Won’t lie, towards the end when a lot of the identities were crossed off I started guessing and made random checks to see what worked. xD
