Comment on Game suggestions: Downvote any game you've heard of before
flamingarms@feddit.uk 1 day agoI downvoted this per the thread rules, but I only just heard about it and played it a month ago. Unbelievably good. Withering Realms is a follow-up coming out later this year as well!

One of the downvotes I’m happiest about getting ever, I think. I’m glad this gem isn’t completely unknown!
Withering Realms looks incredible but I might wait until full release, which is hopefully next year. September is so stacked. That being said, I’m not sure there are any of the other upcoming games I look forward to as much as this anyway…

That’s what I was shocked by honestly. I think it’s a solo dev? And it feels a little indie in that way, but the entire package is so tightly done and the story is actually fascinating - the game quickly became one of the best I’ll play this year over many AAA games and Realms is now top of my list too. Really an insane achievement from a solo dev; they have a lot to be proud of. And their Early Access plan is to have Realms complete from start to finish and use it as a refinement process? Lot of respect for that.

Solo dev game, yeah. Also his debut game! Wild. They actually revised the plan. It was supposed to enter Early Access in May, and then have NG+ added later on. Instead they pushed it to September but supposedly feature complete. We’ll see if it’s a wise choice - September is a rough month to compete in.
But yeah, absolutely agreed on how good the game is. Good balance, nice build variety, the systems all work so well, the NG+ implementation is super cool and the game just has so many little surprises to throw at you. And it’s much bigger than you might think at first.
I still think Titanium Court edges it for me in terms of my number one favourite game I’ve played this year, but those are the top two for sure. And they’re both solo dev games! Madness.

Oh, Titanium Court looks a little familiar; may have heard about it when it first came out. I’ll have to check it out then!
