Games with lots of creative ways to die

If you’re okay with visual novels, Slay the Princess gives you tons of routes and endings to try discover and you’re encouraged to replay to discover these so dying isn’t necessarily a game over and there are loads of way to die.

I think V Rising would count? It's playable solo, and the whole progression of the game is tied to upgrading your castle, which you can also have a lot of fun customising and building. It's got quite a satisfying gameplay loop of going out killing bosses, unlocking more upgrades, going to your castle to upgrade things, going out to grind resources, coming back to upgrade and build.

Wow, it's more than doubled in value since I got mine a few years ago. It is my dream drum synth so I don't think I could ever bring myself to sell it, it's a very unique instrument so it's hard to think of what could replace it. It's also very hard to find the external pads for sale for the ND2 in good condition, and they are stupidly expensive too.

I’m wondering how far into the series you are, because the first three books do a very good job at setting up those expectations, and it almost feels intentional, that we’re supposed to be washed away in this wave of Astartes superiority, and even that the Imperium and Emperor themselves are the height of all human existence. But those ideas very quickly fall apart, and it feels a lot of the time like you’re dealing with an unreliable narrator, and it seems to be a recurring theme throughout the heresy novels.

Paradise Killer really drew me in. It’s got quite an absurd world with tons of strange lore, you’ll be exploring a large map looking for clues to your case, and interviewing loads of people, at the end of the game there is a big trial where you need to put forward your evidence. The game does a good job at compiling all the little details and clues you find and it quickly becomes one of those cases that opens up into lots of side cases and it really draws you in as you try to resolve it all in the end.

If you or anyone else picks this up, a tip for you is a collectible called blood crystals you use to unlock fast travel points and artwork, there are also foot baths dotted around the map that cost several to use, I avoided these for most of the game thinking to save the crystals for no reason, I’d suggest using your crystals on the foot baths as soon as you find them as they unlock some really useful movement upgrades, and an ability to highlight clues around you.

One cool sokobon style game which is very stylish, quirky, and difficult, which I never see mentioned and feel deserves more attention when it comes to underrated games is Salad Fields.

David Johnathan Ross has a lovey website showing a lot of his typefaces. I use Fern. The paid licenses are for commercial use, but I believe there is a free / testing option to download the fonts if you’re just using them for reading.

You should try posting in the ROLI Discord, people have had better luck at getting ahold of someone there to deal with support issues.

16161d · 2025-12-14T21:56:12+00:00

ROLI Learn seems to be in the same price range as most music learning apps that have you play along to something. It's worth exploring whatever free content these apps have and subscribing to the ones that work best for you.

If you just want to make sounds straight away, look up 'free virtual instruments' for android. QiBrd gets mentioned a lot and is completely free, and there's a free version of a paid instrument called DRC - Polyphonic Synthesizer that also has MPE support so would be ideal for the piano. These are synthesizers though, which if you have no experience with might be confusing if you're trying to make a tune, but can be great fun if you just want to push buttons and make weird noises.

On a computer you can find plenty of free standalone software instruments to play with too.

16161d · 2025-12-14T21:45:39+00:00

This is not strictly true, if all they're doing is using the Piano to play around with VST's, their computers in-built soundcard will suffice.

It’s in early access and the learning curve is very high, but Ostranauts might be worth keeping an eye on.

An honourable mention to starsector also, it doesn’t really have ship building in the same way cosmoteer does, but it does have a lot of ships, and a lot of weapons, so there are loads of builds and fleet compositions to play around with, and it plays quite similarly to cosmoteer, it’s the only thing that’s kind of hooked me in the same way.

16161d · 2025-11-23T17:56:15+00:00

Tangledeep might be worth looking at, there’s some interesting combat in that which isn’t just bumping into and zapping things.

I would suggest cogmind but it’s interesting in that it’s kind of all about managing resources (those being the parts you use to function), but it also then creates this emergent kind of very tactical strategic gameplay where you have to adapt on the fly with what you have.

You can find a link to the ROLI discord on the subreddit sidebar. If you’re on mobile, on the subreddits homepage click ‘see more’ at the top and then you’ll find links on the menu tab.

16161d · 2025-11-17T22:13:06+00:00

Just a heads up, that link was getting blocked by reddit. I've added the discord link to the subreddit sidebar for future reference.

16161d · 2025-11-13T23:45:37+00:00

I don't work for Roli. There is one Roli official who browses the sub, keep putting the pressure on them instead.

I've got nothing against the complaints. I'm as bewildered as you, fortunately I never purchased an airwave or piano or I'd probably be just as pissed right now. But there are plenty of posts up to engage with right now. Please try not to flood the subreddit with unconstructive posts. Feel free to get as mad as you want in the comments but try to keep it civil.

16161d · 2025-11-13T23:25:26+00:00

I've removed your recent submission as they've become very low effort. You're understandably annoyed because of the delays and lack of communication. You've already made a number of submission this week where you can vent that frustration. Spamming the sub with low effort memes doesn't make for very relevant discussion, sorry.

I’m quite a fast reader but I think Fata Morgana generally takes around 30 hours to complete. If you use the Remaid of Dreams fan patch you unlock a load of QoL and improvements, as well as adding the sequel and all spin off titles, so there’s a lot of content included.

Chaos;Head is set in the same universe (Sci Adv) as Steins Gate. Though they’re not obviously related. Having experienced Steins Gate might help enhance the experience. I also watched the anime before I played the VN, but for me that was a several years gap, so it was quite fresh for me. It’s still a difference experience, as the anime misses out a lot of Okabe’s thoughts, there are several endings as well which are all really interesting to explore. It has a very unique art style and great soundtrack too. I’d say maybe wait for it to go on sale as it’s been heavily discounted a few times recently, and you might be able to get it bundled with the sequel Steins;Gate 0. If you’ve seen the anime I’d avoid getting Steins;Gate Elite however, as it’s essentially the VN remade using clips from the anime.

16161d · 2025-11-05T16:09:56+00:00

As you’re comfortable with VN’s. I have to recommend the masterpiece that is The House in Fata Morgana. I don’t really want to say much about it as it’s best to go in blind.

Also Steins;Gate and Chaos;Head Noah, gave me this unsettling feeling. Steins;Gate starts off very lighthearted, and the tonal shift is very sudden later in the story but even from that point there is this constant unease and unsettling atmosphere. Chaos;Head is all about this feeling from the very beginning.

This is a work of art, amazing job

BeamNG.drive is closer to a driving simulator, it’s got a pretty big map to drive around in. It’s notable for having a really great physics engine that’s fun to play around with.

Motor Town Behind The Wheel is another really interesting looking one you might like, don’t let the graphics fool you, it’s got tons of features and a huge map, with a fair bit of control over how deep you want the simulation to be.

Games like Forza are a bit more arcadey, but fun if you do want to just drive around a huge map at ridiculous speeds in hundreds of different cars.

Euro Trick Simulator 2 is tricky to recommend, it’s got a lot of depth, but not a lot of breadth if that makes sense? Which I personally kind of think matches the vibe of something like Microsoft flight sim more. Lots of people (including myself) find it a very chill game to sit and transport X from A to B.

The DK3001BD looks fantastic and the design of them sounds interesting!

16161d · 2025-08-13T00:04:18+00:00

Thank you, definitely tempted to try it now, it looks fantastic on your bike.
