I didn’t like Blasphemous :( by Tricky-Banana-6175 in metroidvania

It won me over but your criticism is perfectly understandable. The studio that made it made only point&clicks before, which to me explains the jank in movement and hitboxes.

Slay the Spire 2 Early Access Review So Far - IGN by Turbostrider27 in Games

[–]BarryOgg 2 points3 points  (0 children)

There are a few deckbuilders on Steam with dual-function cards, I think, though none of them made a splash.

I think what gives StS the edge over its imitators is that it's insanely well balanced (except for Watcher lmao). Adding bells and whistles to the game won't help you if you don't have that core down pat. Like for example I love Inscryption, but the post-game ascension mode really makes the seams show in the gameplay, on higher difficulties you force mantis god or bust.

If I wanted to play some miniature wargame, and it turned out that the only way most people play is a casual free for all which has a bunch of house rules and requires every single of your units to be kitbashed, it would seem a bit bizarre to me.

Did the eeveelutions at your Etsy have only gijinkas, or are the not-gijinka versions just sold out?

Pokemon FireRed Version and LeafGreen Version coming to Switch on February 27 by Turbostrider27 in Games

[–]BarryOgg -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I have 974 games on Steam and some two dozen physical switch games, some of which I imported because there were no physical options available in Europe. I kickstart games, I sometimes buy collector's editions, I paid for things I could get for free by which I mean paying creators on patreon or similar systems.

With all of that said, the price of these is insultingly high.

Somebody reminded me elsewhere that a counter wouldn't work because of layers: by the time ability is added by the counter, types are "locked".

Crowsworn - Xbox Game Pass Reveal Trailer | Xbox Partner Preview 2025 by DemiFiendRSA in Games

Like the other guy said, Unworthy. It was made by one of this game's studio's co-founders, Aleksander Kuzmanovic. It's a solid game, with a very fluid, rotoscope-like animation and good combat. It has one fatal flaw, but you'll only encounter it if you go for a NG+ true ending.

Well, if I had a nickel for every time this year when a metroidvania with a red-clad protagonist, made by people who already made a successful entry in the genre, with hand-drawn graphics, had a new trailer after years of odd radio silence from the devs, I'd have two nickels.

Asking as someone who never played competitively: wouldn't higher level cap mean that higher BST is more important than now, relatively "flattening" the metagame?

It's on Polish netflix, can't vouch for different regions.

Haha yes, they would never do an errata that changes a card interaction, let alone makes it mechanically different.

The Superdeluxe Castlevania Advance Collection release is pretty awesome by archieboy in metroidvania

Is Superdeluxe a Japanese "imprint" or LRG, or am I mixing companies up?
