Great game. It reminds me of Warcraft 3, but without having enemy armies destroy my base - I was never good at the fighting but enjoyed base building so this is just in my wheel house. And it’s great that you can use multiple strategies to win. I’m more into satisfying everyones needs as opposed to exploration based run. You?

I loved the first game, but didn’t try the second one yet. I don’t really know what I’m waiting for 😀

Looks like some crazy trippy stuff. Graphics seem pretty nice, but who knows what will the actual gameplay look like

Good to hear! That guy made some of the best video game music ever. Just Super Mario and Ocarina of Time should be enough. Also, it’s really fun to play his music on a piano, although it’s always pretty hard at first 😅

I really like the flashing police horses. The game looks fun, can’t wait to try it out.

I prefer Linux as a OS, so I’m really happy that I can play games that aren’t supported by devs. And it has benefits - since Linux is a better OS by a mile some games work better on it. For example Valheim on Windows is unplayable for me since it shuts down my computer after 5 - 20 mins, while on Linux it runs without problems and has smaller FPS drops in my gigantic castle. Maybe it’s a bad example since it has support for Linux, but Ravenswatch doesn’t and also has better performance on Linux through Proton.

Yep, even if the game is Windows only and you’re a Linux guy, you go into the Steam properties/settings for that game, click on the Compatibility tab, and then check the “Force the use of a specific Steam Play compatibility tool”. Chances are the game will work fine, but if it doesn’t you can try some other version of Proton. Alternatively, there is also Wine but I didn’t touch it yet and heard it’s a pain in the a**

Oh yes, the “AI”, how could I forget. All aboard the hype train!

Not at all. I played DF (with sprites) and had a great time. The graphics are not fantastic, but are not unappealing either. I know a lot of people loved the ASCII, but personally I’m not into that.

I’d argue that Minecraft and Stardew Valley do visually look good. Looking good doesn’t mean that it has to look like a AAA game with realistic graphics. Very old games like Super Mario Bros 3 look great even today. Pixel art games if done with care look fantastic. What I didn’t like about this game when looking at the trailer on Steam is that the world looks barren - specifically, look at the 35s mark on their Steam video. I see that there are some other visually appealing scenes in the trailer, but some scenes just look unfinished. I agree I was a bit harsh, but the couple of close-ups in the trailer left a really bad impression on me.

I like the concept, but visually it looks pretty crude. Somehow I think if devs didn’t care enough to make the game look good (it doesn’t have to look fantastic), then I’m pretty sure the gameplay isn’t all that impressive either.

Yep, I’m so happy when I hear how shitty Win 11 is. Enjoy your ads, currency exchange rates that for some reason cycle on the taskbar, traffic information, and what not.

It’s 100% on purpose. I wished they payed artists to create something new, not to recreate an existing very popular game. On the other hand, I’m intrigued with coop and the possession mechanic so it might be fun. But who knows if it’s a good coop or a frustrating Mario-like coop where the game is actually harder because you keep bumping into each other and fall into a pit as a result.

How about a smoke alarm subscription? Or even better, handbrake subscription!
