Started playing Sniper Elite 3, and I am so bad at it that I was getting my ass kicked again and again in the first couple of missions even though I am playing at the very lowest difficulty... But I am slowly getting the hang of it (I think). Fun game, and it looks great and plays well (imo)!It's SE2. I love it, but I would recommend 3 over 2 if you are only getting one. SE3 is the better game.
Glass Masquarade is 2,99€ in Europe. I really liked it. Such a relaxing experience.
It's a bit rough at first, but you will get the hang of it! One suggestion I give you is to change the difficulty to custom and put ballistics to realistic, then disable the aim assist in the options menu. You will have to consider gravity and wind, but it makes hitting your targets so much more satisfying.

Never played it before. What kind of game is it?
Icon is good enough.
this will be 22,99€ with a pre-purchase 10% discount (20,69€) until january 27th
Actually, I don't know ^_^
I haven't played that yet, either! I do own it for Switch, though. I grabbed it when it was on sale.Actually, I don't know ^_^
Someone told me it's like Oxenfree on steroids, or something like that.
Fact is, it's grabbing attention and is well received elsewhere. Development started in 2012 iirc and Switch version comes with the final act (Act V), so it's a complete version with all the adjustments it got over time I think.I haven't played that yet, either! I do own it for Switch, though. I grabbed it when it was on sale.
It's a point & click game with really good writing, music and visuals. Not heavy on puzzles, but you do have to figure out stuff from time to time. Oxenfree is a good comparison but if the writing was 500x better. It's like reading a good magic realism novel.

They released several, there's a free interlude between every episode (and they're all included in TV edition). They're super reduced in scope and might confuse some people, but yeah, if anyone's on the fence that's something they could do to check out the tone/writing of the game.yeah Kentucky route zero is fantastic. I played Act 1 a long time ago on PC and was waiting for it all to be released before completing it.
I'm pretty sure the dev released a related project in the same universe(?) for free on PC which is definitely worth checking out, and will give an idea of how good the writing is.
I played Shovel Knight when it first came out and thought it was pretty mediocre, but I recently decided to give the other DLC story modes a go and I'm glad I did. Plague Knight is just all around better than SK, and King Knight's Wario Land-inspired gameplay and bite sized levels are a nice change of pace, plus I'm a nut for weird card games so that's up my alley. Specter Knight has a nice story but his gameplay isn't as good as the others. I really like how the other knight modes not only overshadow SK buteach one ends up showing how much of a frustrating dick he actually is.
I wouldn't call any of them great games on their own, but taken together I have to say that Yacht Club games has done a good job of diversifying the gameplay, and the way they've fleshed out the world, the knights, and interweaved their various journeys is quite satisfying.
Oh god, I haven't started the second game either lolCook, Serve, Delicious! 3?! releases on january 29th
It reminds me I have yet to boot CSD2, which I'm sure I purchased on sale based on some impressions from this very thread.
Oh Switch, this is getting ridiculous
Puzzles & Dragons Gold is up in North America and it's on sale for $9.99 till the 31st. Most likely buying today, will post impressions when I get a chance to sit down with it.
So they are having a hard time with the game and you want them to make the game even tougher?! Yikes!It's a bit rough at first, but you will get the hang of it!

So uh
Bloodstained 1.04 on Switch is out. I just downloaded it. I made a habit of checking for updates on the game every time I turned on my Switch and I was shocked to see it actually found an update just now.
You'd hope that they might bother to post an update to the Kickstarter project to let backers know... though I can't say that I'm overly surprised that they haven't.So uh

Just finished Cosmic Star Heroine. It was a very well made game that simply didn't grab me as much as I expected it to. I enjoyed it okay, but I was waiting for it to end by halfway through the third planet.
I did kill both hidden superbosses I found, though.
Yeah, movement in SE2 is still clunky. Feels like an old school game sometimes, which it is I guess. You can crouch, go prone, enter cover, etc. The options are there but all feels janky and stilted.How are the ports of AC ROGUE and AC4BF performance-wise? Exclusively interested on handheld's gameplay.
I got bored with Black Flag after 5 hours (o XBO) but I'm always hoping that the next AC game will be the one to finally have the series click with me. AC2/Brotherhood were the only two to kinda interest me cause they were original, with a great settings etc. I think "maybe this time the combat won't be so bad and the parkour so tele-guided... lol
Alright guys thanks!
I remember playing SE2 on PC (and maybe Xbox via Gold if that was a thing that existed) and the controls were super clunky.
Has it been polished a bit?
Question is for SE3 too, since that one seems to be even more
Nothing seems to me to be clunky in SE3 except the inability to climb in a lot of places, especially with me being a sniper... I guess botw spoiled meHow are the ports of AC ROGUE and AC4BF performance-wise? Exclusively interested on handheld's gameplay.

Lmao. I didn't take this into account when I wrote my post...
Ive been eyeing The Witcher 3 to get before the sale ends, but I gotta ask: Does it really look that bad? Anyone whose played it on a TV/monitor know if its actually as blurry as it looks?
I've pulled up the Digital Foundry video at 1080p fullscreen on my monitor to try and emulate what the game would look like, and I feel like it would give me a headache with that low resolution and blur
Yeah, it mostly depend on the distance you keep between you and the screen. Portable it's a wonder, but you need some distance on the big screen. On my TV it's all right because I'm more than 2 meters away, but on my PC monitor, it's a bit worse because I'm closer to it.It's very blurry but the art style makes it a fucking marvel to look at. On handheld it is a certified blow me away. TV less so. Can still recommend getting it as one of the games of the generation though.
Rain World has only been on sale once (in EU) and that is soon to be one year ago (february)... some games just seem to be forgotten by their own publisher?
If we could rely on the price drops Battle Chef Brigade would be on sale again... but no :(Rain World has only been on sale once (in EU) and that is soon to be one year ago (february)... some games just seem to be forgotten by their own publisher?

I grabbed it at that time and never finished it, though I really loved it. But there's a sense of dread in this game, something that genuinely scares me and I haven't touched it in months. I'm thinking of restarting a game now that there's not much releasing that interests me...
So, yes, Puzzle & Dragons Gold really should have been called something like "Puzzle & Dragons Vs." because it really is just a PvP online game. The presentation is slick, but the "story" -- which is a very generous description -- mode pretty much amounts to rolling out of bed, fighting three battles, now you're the champion.
I'm having fun playing P&D again on Switch, but I have a feeling I'll just get absolutely skronked when I go online, and it won't be very fun. If you were hoping for something like Puzzle & Dragons Z on the 3DS (like I was) this is not it. There are no RPG elements -- shit, you can't even change your team in the story mode -- and all the customization and growth features for the creatures you collect are absent. The basic battle system is pretty different, too, in terms of how turns and damage work. There's a very simple tutorial, extremely basic avatar choices, your team building menu, the gatcha machine, random single player matches, a story mode of maybe about 10 total levels, local multiplayer, online multiplayer, and there's your game. If you're into that, $10 might be worth it, but do not expect an RPG or even an RPG-lite experience.
Should also mention I've had the game freeze once already.
Yeah, I also didn't pick that one up when it was on sale the last couple times, and now that I'm more interested in the game, it apparently stopped going on sale completely. Oh well.If we could rely on the price drops Battle Chef Brigade would be on sale again... but no :(
It was on sale last year for the New Year, so I had high hopes... Started the game on Game Pass but stopped to play it on Switch...Yeah, I also didn't pick that one up when it was on sale the last couple times, and now that I'm more interested in the game, it apparently stopped going on sale completely.
