Thanks for the advice, fun police YOU'RE NOT EVEN A REAL DETECTIVE who sets up bowling in a goddamn hotel anyways
Just finished the only game I bought during winter seal.
What a great game. Took me about 20 hours to 100% and I enjoyed most of it. It is a metroidvania, but not in the traditional sense as it more relies on adventure than platforming. There Are about 15 islands that you sail to and from and on each island there are areas you cant access until you have new abilities. There were a few times that I was kind of stuck and the backtracking is tiresome at times, but overall I highly recommend.
My three favorite indie metroidvanias are Hollow Knight, Elliot Quest, and Treasure Adventure Game. I still need to play more World. Shame only one of those games are a success. At least the Hollow Knight devs will continue making games.
You have to buy it! It is priced so well and I got 20+ hours of great gaming out of it. I think I bought for $6 last week. I wish I bought more copies to give away. I am amazed at how many hours of enjoyment out of Sub $20 indie games I get, or in this case sub $10. Anyways, here is my review I just wrote for TAW. https://steamcommunity.com/id/artsncrafts/recommended/268770
Hey, I just wanted to thank you for posting this PSA.
Was able to nab a copy just under the wire and good gravy is it awesome.
Man, Klei sure has the Midas Touch in the presentation dept. (That's across the board, art direction, UI, sound design, etc.)
The most frustrating thing about these nice looking Chinese games is that they include an English title 9 times out of 10. English description and store page as well.
... And yet when the game actually launches English is no where to be seen and I could count on a single hand the CN games that had English added after. It's... annoying.

Well, if at you at least liked XCOM and XCOM 2, you should look forward to Phoenix Point ;) Though I never got around Shadow Tactics, but heard only positive feedback.
I am liking the Vagrant on steam - but I noticed some slow down in animations , not because of the game but because of my aging gaming laptop
I have my gaming desktop but I use it for video editing lol
Wish I had the funds to buy or build a new pc
Gotta wait ;(

Oh, I love XCOM 2, it's just that these days games like Shadow Tactics are even more rare than turn-based tactics. Definitely looking forward to Phoenix Point.
That reminds me...I still need to play the latest build of Phoenix Point (only did that for like an hour).
Wait till you see the VOLCEL police, they got Ban Puncher.
Here are some of my suggestions
Shadow of the Tomb Raider:
Anno 2205:
Assassin's Creed Odyssey:
Deus Ex: Mankind Divided:
Prey:
Quantum Break:
Rise of the Tomb Raider:
Watch_Dogs 2:
Wolfenstein II: The New Colossus:
These would keep your GPU busy.
I tried the Shadow demo and was surprised by how much I enjoyed it. Will put it on my price drop list.
I have DE:MD so I'll boot that up and see how it looks, thanks!
I wasn't floored by Prey's technical look, but I loved its art-style.
Is Quantum Break worth playing? I loved Alan Wake and the original Max Paynes....
How much content is in the build? Is it comparable to Troubleshooter?
I think so, it's constantly on sale as well so you can get it pretty cheap. Gunplay isn't nearly as satisfying as MP, but story and time manipulation gimmicks are pretty cool, plus some of the neattest set-pieces you can find in a video game.
Updated pitch for a Capcom 2D Fighters Bundle:
- Saturday Night Slam Masters
- Darkstalkers: The Night Warriors
- Ring of Destruction: Slam Masters II
- Night Warriors: Darkstalkers' Revenge
- Cyberbots: Full Metal Madness
- Red Earth/Warzard
- Darkstalkers 3/Vampire Savior
- Super Gem Fighters Mini Mix
I really should go back and restart Valdis Story. I remember I really liked it except for the "scoring" on boss fights. I am a perfectionist in games so It would piss me off to get C on a boss fight.
Yeah, I had fun playing along with friends. I'll likely get back to it once the release update drops but even now the game is very polished and very fun. Klei really has become one of my favorite devs.
Can't make the comparison with Troubleshooter, never played it ;)
There was a big update not that long ago (Backer Build 3), including new maps, enemies, inventory management and the basic version of the strategic layer of the game. Was a big step forward compared to the previous version(s), but still missing a lot of stuff. Backed the game on Fig a long time ago, because it looked great and so far the preview builds seem promising.
I 've enjoy QB more than Alan Wake. Gameplay is sooo much better!
The life action series are boring as f*ck, but you can skip them completely.
Be sure to buy the DX11 version on Steam tho!
War of the Chosen basically turns the game into XCOM 2.5, so yeah I'd say it's pretty essential if you want to experience the game at its full potential.
I can tell from seeing your scores on Sunset Overdrive random events, haha.
Valdis is great. The final boss left me with cramped fingers but I was so locked into a groove. That said, I wasn't concerned about my grading so much as being concerned about progressing through the game.
Its a great game. Yeah can be tricky. Thankfully it has that very nice quick save system where it tells you how long since the last save, I used it a lot. Really looking forward to the next one, I think they are doing a Desperadoes reboot.

Honestly, if you've got everything BUT War of the Chosen, it's going to be a good time. War of the Chosen takes it to another level, but it'd be overwhelming to someone who never played the base game.
Ha yea, it is a curse really as I have to get a "gold" and collect everything. If the gameplay is amazing like Sunset Overdrive it was a joy to get, but some games I just cant. But I think I will start Valdis tonight and just not worry about grading of the bosses.
Thanks, picked up Star Story as it was on my Wishlist. I feel like there are 40 versions of FORCED and I cant keep up with them.
My first time playing the series - doing a marathon lol
I have metal gear solid legacy collection on PS3 :)!!!
I wish Konami would release the legacy collection on steam (and no I don't mean the damn movie that is on steam) - would double dip or technically trip dip since I have mgs1 on ps1 , mgs2 and mgs3 in ps2 - though haven't touched those copies lol
i feel kinda trapped cos i have kiwami on console with that psn plus thing, and i could get kiwami 2 but then idk what to do. i don't want to jump to 6 and miss out on 3-5, i bet they did the work to make playing 6 before 3 not feel bad but i dunno, i feel this series should be played in (sort of) chronological order
Yakuza 3 and 4 already have a PS4 remaster in japan with the fifth coming at the end of the year, just stay patient for the western release.
Yes, Capcom, YES, embrace the aspect ratios
That Ninja?!
I've been really liking the game. Been playing it for... 2 months now? Not that much(~50 hours) but I realized I'm gonna run out of substories at this pace, as it's pretty much the only stuff I've been doing for the last couple of weeks along with the business part, so I'm probably gonna finish the main story first, start another game's campaign and come back to Yakuza 0 from time to time so I beat all of the substories, etc
Can Path of Exile be a 2018 GOTY? It was released in 2013. If so it would be my GOTY for the last 5 years :P
What makes me the most mad about this is that Chinese players review bomb English games for not including Chinese, yet if you make a single request or complaint that the game isn't in English on a Chinese game, the community for the game freaks out at you.
