I wish so many popular racing games weren‘t over 100 gb on average. Installing a couple on my 500 gb Deck is pain.
- Comment on Dragon Age: The Veilguard Reviews Are In — Is BioWare’s Back in a Big Way? 2 days ago:
Can someone give me a rundown on why there‘s so much negativity revolving around this? I saw the review thread and it seemed to have scored quite a few good reviews. I‘m not informed regarding the matter at all, the last Bioware game I‘ve played was Dragon Age 2, so I‘m genuinely clueless.

How long has your playthrough been thus far? Didn‘t know it has 2 DLCs AND American Nightmare, I thought the latter is its only DLC

Yeah, I don‘t need 300 instead of 150 hrs, I need 20-50 good hours

Are they just cruel for fun? Do they think that out of all the gaming communities out there this community expects deadlines to be kept? If you opted into SC then you surely don‘t mind waiting, no?

Unlock The King: Cheap, simple puzzler that uses chess pieces and how they‘re allowed to move, but otherwise has nothing in common with actuall chess. Recommended.
Orcs Must Die! 3: Comic-y 3rd person tower defense game (here: traps) that doesn’t take itself too seriously. I was a big fan of OMD2 and thought 3 was their weird pvp game called Unchained or whatever, so this one went completely past me and now I get to play a complete and new (to me) OMD for cheap! Recommended.
Potion Permit: Harvest Moon but you’re making potions instead. The pixel art is absolutely amazing. The game feels a bit too small and has weird technical issues (stutter, sudden increase in CPU load or controller input crapping itself until you restart), but it‘s still fun af. Recommended.
Fields of Mistria: Early Access Harvest Moon clone in Gameboy Color style. It may be Early Access, but it runs smooth, I‘ve experienced zero bugs and after ten hours I‘m not even in my first fall. It‘s already well worth a buy. Recommended.

I‘ve had this in my library for many years (Steam sale pile lol) and also started it recently. I‘m really bad with horror games so I don‘t play it much, but I think the ingame atmosphere held up really well while the cutscenes are super uncanny valley territory. I‘m hoping to 100% it eventually.

Can‘t wait to watch, performance in the demo for me had been abysmal so I was gonna wait for this one a couple years of hardware upgrades anyway
- Comment on Horizon Zero Dawn Remastered confirmed by ESRB rating 1 month ago:
Does this game really need a remaster…? It won‘t cost nothing to make so I‘m confused.
- Comment on Jade Empire, the prototype for Mass Effect 1 month ago:
It‘s been a while but I remember when I played it way after its release I found it clunky and meh. I guess that‘s to be expected for an (when I played it already) old game. I want more martial arts games though. Especially kung fu games. I also want a new Sleeping Dogs…
- Comment on Why Do People Still Play Destiny 2? 1 month ago:
I’m sure we can be more open-minded and accept that people can enjoy the core gameplay loops of games that we don‘t personally enjoy without being addicted.

- Comment on Day 40 of posting a Daily Screenshot from the games I’ve been playing until I forget to post Screenshots (Jedi Fallen Order) 2 months ago:
With a 3080 it ran fine at 4k, I capped FPS to 75 which it held most of the time. „Survivor“ (the latest entry in the series) is plagued by performance issues. Fallen Order does have traversel and shader stutter though IIRC.

The planet with the zombies and especially anything related to the weird underground city on it was worse IMO
If you didn‘t already know what path to take to end up in the specific spot in said city that you needed to go to, you were in for a ride lol
Also backtracking through the swamp area
I do remember having trouble finding specific exploration percentages in Zeffo as well though

Shame there‘s no successor to that game (that I know of)
- Comment on Monthly Recommendations Thread: What are you playing? 2 months ago:
I got into farming sims after the recent Stardew Valley update and am playing Fields of Mistria (already great!) as well as Rune Factory 4 (it‘s fine, I guess… didn‘t hold up too well IMO, mainly because of its scuffed 3D graphics instead of pixel art).
I‘ve also completed the Frog Detective trilogy - a series of very easy, short, and quirky mystery games - and I can absolutely recommend it.

It‘s a fantastic fps.

My Skyrim‘s incredibly heavily modded to the point where it‘s impossible to troubleshoot glitches I encounter, but goddamn is it pretty.

Very nice tip, thanks for that!
- Comment on What have you played this week? 2 months ago:
Sadly, I‘ve been sick, so I couldn’t play for more than a couple minutes at a time AND my Steam Deck decided to go into a boot loop for no reason, black screen, fans spinning, no BIOS access; had to let it run itself dry in the boot loop for 6 hours and when I connected the AC adapter it booted normally as if nothing happened, crazy!
Anyway, I played a little of Frog Detective 2, it‘s a silly, very short, and simple game series that was perfectly suited for my current state of mind.
- Comment on Day 11 of posting a Daily Screenshot from the games I’ve been playing until I forget to post Screenshots 2 months ago:
When it first came out, I pretty much hated it, but I came back to it a couple years ago and had fun. Even though I didn‘t interact much with the basebuilding aspect, the exploration, story, and combat were fun enough for 60ish hours. I think it positively surprises nowadays.

Pretty good game, I really missed a fasttravel feature towards the end
- Comment on How do y'all feel about using summons in Soulslikes? [Lies of P endgame spoilers] 3 months ago:
It‘s a videogame, mate. People who flame others for not making a videogame as hard as possible on themselves should get their priorities checked. If it‘s fun for someone to beat the game hardmode: good for them; but if they expect everyone else to do the same to themselves: touch grass.
- Comment on Steam summer sale is on now! What games do you recommend? 3 months ago:
En Garde is pretty great, it doesn‘t take itself serious either and has a ton of slapstick
- Comment on Monthly Recommendations Thread: What are you playing? 3 months ago:
If you like platformers, try Marsupilami. It has a slow start but the later levels and free DLC levels are a bit more challenging without ever getting frustrating. Only bad thing I have to say about the game is that cloudsaves seem broken and the targetselection on the grappling points is janky. Just give it a shot, it‘s dirt cheap anyway.

I wonder how many of the devs working on the title actually believe in this direction
- Comment on It's almost the week-end, what are you guys going to play? Also, could we have a monthly thread for July? 3 months ago:
Aragami 2 with a friend if we can align schedules. It‘s not as good as the first game, feels pretty uninspired and passionless. It‘s still a servicable stealth game, but you can probably find better games for that itch if you look around.
On my own, I‘d like to finish Marsupilami. It‘s a neat little colorful platformer that I‘d say is perfect for children. It‘s pretty easy and short but the last couple levels are more challenging. Since the Steam sale is on right now and the game‘s dirt cheap discounted, I‘d say give it a try if you guys like platformers and need a chill one. Runs at a locked 90 on Steam Deck at 7-8W (IIRC, maybe even less, you‘ll figure it out).
I‘d also like to play more Monument Valley 2. The first and second games (so far) are splendid. They‘re very creative (but not hard) puzzle games in the look of an optical illusion (the exact term for these kinda optical illusions escapes me right now, but if you have a look at the store page‘s trailer, you‘ll instantly know what I mean). Both games are dirt cheap on sale too and you just can‘t go wrong with them, IMO. Even if you don‘t like puzzle games, the games are a unique experience and short anyway.
