  Brotato is always a recommendation. Single player or co-op doesn’t matter. Both modi are great

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Super House of Dead Ninjas is shutting down⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  What does this mean to the game on steam? Only delisting from the shop but still downloadable? Or will it be taken from my Library? I haven’t bought it yet, because I never heard of it. But it looks fun… So maybe while the sale goes on?

  Wtf… The review gets a whole other dimension with this knowledge… It’s more the “help me” of an addicted now…

  Do you all expect localization is tied to laws for china? I realy don’t think so. Most games are split into global and asia/chinese versions anyway. Why should they remove these mechanics when it isn’t necessary for the market they operate in?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What game did you last finish? What did you think of it?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  😄 there are a few:

  • Celeste -> great platformer. Maybe the best I ever played.

  • Tiny Thor -> another good platformer

  • Sea of Stars -> I have some mixed feelings about this. All in all a good game. The visuals are fantastic. The story is ok (so far), the music is very cool. The battle is good but to be honest, for a round based combat system it has to be compared with games like final fantasy and it is much much flatter. Once you got the basics, no suprises will be left. And this is a pity. I expected the battle system to be the heart of the game… But it seems like the visuals are. 🤔 As I said, good all in all, but not as expected.

  • Brotato: This could be my game of the year 2023. Awesome game loop. Nice for a “short” round inbetween…

  • Cosmoteer: Awesome game if one likes to build stuff and management aspects in games. But not as easy as it seems first.

  • Ember Knights: great co-op rouge lite. Played it when it was in early access and it was great already. I should take a look into it, now it is finaly released.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What game did you last finish? What did you think of it?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  I almost never finish any game because I am sick of quests and (modern) stories or the way they are told in general. Because of that, I mostly play games without a definitiv ending. But my last “story” ending was Diablo 4 and I haven’t liked it. It can hardly be caled an ending… Moreover I was happy that I finaly finished the story, so I was able to see what the game will be after it… It was also pretty disappointing. So I started another char in PoE again 😃

  Before this I guess it was “It takes two” and it was great.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What are some alternative to soulless videogame franchises?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Casette Beasts is good also.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I accidentally bought a game while my VPN was on⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  I dont see any problem. Even without refund, what would be the worst case?

  My guess: you need to play the game with vpn set to the netherlands? Not more, not less. Or is using vpn prohibitted where you life?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨2023 might be the best year for sequels and worst for new IPs⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Well, a solution could be, to dont buy AAA-Games. Or only games that are worth it. No hype train purchases month before release, no blind trust in big names of games or publishers or studios.

  At least demos are a thing again.

  Ps: don’t buy battlepasses or skins in f2p would also help I guess.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Rant: Frustration About Current State of Games Companies⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  I am not from america but our youth imported your moral/ethical/politics discussion shit on games. And it is so anoying. As if any company would care about moral integrity. Have you noticed that most companies which supported pride month with a little rainbow icon did not in all the countries where this is suppressed and forbidden?

  The whole purpose of most companies is to gain money. And they will do whatever is necessary and legal in countries they operate in. And it is a own “discipline” called localization to exactly knowing about their possiblities 🤷🏻‍♂️ And like others said: most companies are up to no good. Energy, gas, food, clothes, cars… Pharma…

  My advice #1: play the games, pay as less as possible. My advice #2: The field of indie games is great. I rarely play AAA. But I also just care about gameplay and don’t like stories in games anymore.

  Some cool games: dead cells, children of mortar, ember knights, mario kaizo hacks, path of exile (is not indie anymore but great anyways), brotato, cassette beasts, cosmoteer, rimworld, elite dangerous, hades, rogue legacy 2, noita, stardew valley, subnautica, super meat boy and so far and so on 😉
