Very disappointing. I probably would have got this had it released on time with the original date.

You’re welcome, hope you guys have fun! 😁
- Comment on Is Cosmic Invasion a step up on Shredder's Revenge? 2 weeks ago:
Yes, if I hadn’t played either and I was going to choose one then I think I might go with Cosmic Invasion. My reasoning is that the developers have had some time to iterate, and the overall experience could potentially be a bit better because of this. As for the pixelation, I really didn’t notice one being substantially better or worse than the other. They both looked great to me. I like Dotemu’s pixel art in general.
Maybe think about what they might be into. In my line of thinking, cosmic invasion will probably have a more general appeal character wise than the turtles. With the turtles you either do like them, or you don’t. If cosmic invasion isn’t quite your thing, at least you have plenty of different characters to choose from and thus more of a chance to find one you like possibly?
A couple of other factors to consider: price = $25(shredder’s revenge) vs $30 (cosmic invasion) review score = Overwhelmingly positive (shredder’s revenge) vs very positive (cosmic invasion)
Yeah, Absolum got great reviews and looks like a great game. I’m not really into roguelikes myself, so I skipped on that one, but it definitely makes me want to consider giving them a second chance though. Lol

I like Shredder’s revenge, and have played it a fair bit. It’s pretty fun, and simple enough to be accessible for any age/skill level.
I’ve only played the demo for Cosmic Invasion. It kind of seemed to be more of the same, but just a different flavor (they have the same developers, of course). It was a lot of fun too.
You could consider the Scott Pilgrim games as well, and there’s also a new one coming out very soon.

Hey, this one looks like it might be up my alley. I typically play more action based games, but I like to try and branch out now and then too. Thanks for the write up!

I hope that the enemies are better this time around. I made the mistake of playing TR after the last of us and just couldn’t get into it because the design differences stood out way too much…

Good, more developers should take that kind of stance. I might just get this game out of moral obligation.

- Comment on Hollow Knight Silksong (mod recommendations) 5 months ago:
My apologies then, sorry about the assumption…
Many people, myself included, think that Silksong is not balanced as well as it could be.
Anyway, yes there are quite a few mods that I’ve found so far. Balancing out some of the more egregious design choices, and adding some general quality of life changes and time savers makes this game so much more enjoyable in my opinion. The challenge is still there, the game just feels much less like it’s trying to force you to be a masochist.
Also, there are purely cosmetic mods as well for people who just enjoy a different look.
- Comment on Hollow Knight Silksong (mod recommendations) 5 months ago:
Yes, there is actually quite a few so far! Check out https://thunderstore.io/c/hollow-knight-silksong/?ordering=top-rated
There is another popular mod hosting website too, which may have more options to choose from, but I hesitate to recommend it due to the general controversy I’ve seen as of late.
- Comment on Hollow Knight Silksong (mod recommendations) 5 months ago:
Come on now, it’s fine to be opinionated on the matter but inciting an unnecessary argument doesn’t do any good. Mods are a great feature and allow many people to get even more enjoyment out of an incredible game.
