I just can’t put Hades II down! It’s not finished, and I’m running up against that more and more. But the polish is incredible!

Holy hype batman. I’m so stoked!

Done! Thanks for making this visible. It wasn’t too hard at all. Hopefully this will help everyone be able to continue spot passing

Oh man, I was coming in here to recommend the same. I’d say to look up nearly nothing about it in order to enjoy the mystery the best.

Sometimes you’d beat a boss, get a manual page from it, and it’s like “oh I could’ve done this the whole time, holy crap”

For any of the Outer Wilds or Obra Dinn fans, play tunic for the mystery. For the ALTTP fans, play it for the combat!

These all sound like emulator-ideal criteria to me!

There’s a lot of non-free versions of that which are super reasonable and meet all of your other criteria nicely. Stardew Valley, Slay the Spire. Games that are full games for a one time low cost.

That’d be pretty interesting if they could pull it off

Yeah, a few “natural disasters” or random whatever’s would add to the mid/late game. Once water is stable, it’s easy to thrive anytime. Bad water is a nice mix up for that for sure.

And yeah, big time machine energy.

I have about a hundred hours in it. Here’s some scattered thoughts:

–The devs clearly care a lot and it’s a labor of love. They communicate well, provide updates, listen to feedback, engage with the community. They’re lovely.

–the game has a fun series of mechanics, good visuals, good music, fun vibes. It’s a bit… Sandboxy, towards later in most runs. I don’t know what to do with my settlement come cycle 12-15 (cycle is 12-20 days or so). I wish there was a little more of a goal for it, like scenarios

–good mod support and map making. People have made some dope maps for it

I’m gonna continue to revisit it as campaign/scenarios evolve, as mechanics are added, and as I want to get my beaver vibe on

There’s a setting to make it less scary in the menus now!

It started off a little slow, but imo it was better than the main game. It’s both a little more streamlined and better story-wise. You probably should play the main game first

Similar energy, this is a craigslist classic:

Okay tunic was better than I expected. The beta area and Dev commentary is so cool. What a wild game with so much speed running inclusion

I’m so stoked that TUNIC is starting it off

Obra Dinn is an absolute banger of a game and soundtrack and I’d love to be able to forget and re play it.

Dan Olson has a good video on this topic. It’s tough to get into some larger player base competitive games

Yeah, if you’ve played DnD 5E I’d say you’re already well on the way to knowing how BG3 works technically. If not, it’s prolly a bit of a learning curve but the game does start soooorta slow at level 1, though 4 characters is a lot. Look up some common archetypes!

AM, not PM PST but hell yeah!

🤡 I’ll be totally happy as long as silksong gets announced and comes out today and I can play it when I get home 🤡

Silksong wen 🤡

This 1000x. The "I could do this the whole time??" Moments are so incredibly cool, and I've never felt smarter than when we pieced together the final puzzle

I'm really hopeful for backwards compatibility with digital and physical switch titles
