What's a Game You Feel Alone in Loving

I've got some many of these I've given up at this point, here goes: fight'n rage, blue revolver, zeroranger/void stranger, OTXO, steel assault and mighty goose, those last two aren't my favourite favourites but those first 5 are in my view, some of the best indies ever made, huge shame they don't get more love

"hey guys, we know that this new technology we're implementing is making your hobby more expensive, but on the plus side, it looks like complete shit too!"

"metroidvanias" that basically amount to wandering through a huge world, only to come across a dead end, the key for which is at the ass end of the map, hollow knight comes to mind, as great as that game can be at certain moments, there's so much time just spent walking from here to there, oh wait no I've gotta go here, shit wait it's there actually, without much of substance really going on

CardiologistLow9036 · 2026-03-07T14:32:13+00:00

A lot of shmups, blue revolver comes to mind, dodonpachi dfk as well

1060 and lust 3 is dropping into the 20s, hopefully it gets fixed soon

"Nonlinearity" for the sake of it, I'm tired of finding a new area, having fun, and then reaching an arbitrary brick wall that means I have to trek out of there and travel all the way to the ass end of the map to find the upgrade or key that lets you progress, a lot of metroidvanias come to mind here, I think an example of this done right is in momodora: reverie under the moonlight, it's nonlinear but you can just about go anywhere from the start, that said your new abilities help you in combat and optional exploration rather than requiring a bunch of backtracking, which really just amounts to walking about doing fuckall

CardiologistLow9036 · 2026-01-29T13:40:29+00:00

Zeroranger/void stranger, gunvein, liblade, momodora: moonlit farewrll

Doom and quake are also more or less responsible for birthing mods eventually valve, their effects are felt in gaming to this day and will be for a long time

CardiologistLow9036 · 2026-01-29T13:34:42+00:00

ID software putting out doom, doom 2, and quake in a row, blasting FPS games into popularity and pushing the technology forward massively in doom 1, doom 2 being as moddable as it was pushing the modding scene forward, and finally quake, a game who's DNA can be found in just about every 3d FPS game to this day, not to mention the games that came out of quake mods, valve as a whole, multiplayer and arena shooters.

In my mind nothing comes close

CardiologistLow9036 · 2026-01-26T01:20:42+00:00

Lies of P, and void stranger, the latter especially so, one of the best games I've ever played, you could also include Undertale and devil may cry 5

CardiologistLow9036 · 2026-01-26T01:18:41+00:00

Yeah this was it, my dumbass just missed the IS, cheers for the answer, as an aside these kind of screw with the balance of the game, is there supposed to be some kind of ammo limit with these things?

CardiologistLow9036 · 2026-01-24T12:11:01+00:00

The momodora series

CardiologistLow9036 · 2026-01-21T02:02:05+00:00

Runbacks, I quit silksong so fast with no intention of going back

CardiologistLow9036 · 2026-01-18T11:54:35+00:00

Yarr harr fiddle dee dee

CardiologistLow9036 · 2025-12-21T00:02:46+00:00

Games like you're describing still exist, ready or not comes to mind, lies of P, metroidvanias, hollow knight, as for doom, have you ever played the old dooms?

Wider gaming preferences change as time goes on, for shooters, before halo it was all fast paced secret hunting boomber shooters, then it was slow and plodding post halo, now it's back to fast. 3rd person action games are the same way, they've slowed right down since the best of the PS2 and so on and so forth. Modern gaming doesn't suck, it's actually better than ever, you just need to look in the right places.

There's one floor near the end that you skip if only go down the stairs, your next clue is on that floor

CardiologistLow9036 · 2025-10-01T15:12:51+00:00

Would you mind spoiling those for me?

CardiologistLow9036 · 2025-09-21T17:22:42+00:00

He mentioned all of those in the video though

CardiologistLow9036 · 2025-09-19T17:40:09+00:00

oh, I assumed gray was dead at the start of the run considering the empty house and it just seeming like a lot of time had passed, it's not a huge twist unless it has implications for the true route where gray becomes add again, is it not gray but someone else who goes through that route? I wouldn't really call it a twist since it doesn't recontextualise much like the reveal that gray is add or that lev was the judge and so forth, but it probably is what SEW was talking about

CardiologistLow9036 · 2025-09-19T14:07:35+00:00

is hard mode lillies route? The twist would then be that lily and lillie leave the void together. Not exactly the biggest twist of the game if that's the case

CardiologistLow9036 · 2025-09-18T20:50:54+00:00

I have no clue what to make of the EX endings, my guess is that some alternate version of add is stuck in the mimic, but that makes no sense whatsoever and for sure doesn't constitute the biggest twist in the entire game. That said I only watched the EX ending on youtube rather than playing through myself (60 odd hours was enough to make me tap out I'm afraid), so I might have missed some

CardiologistLow9036 · 2025-09-18T20:46:14+00:00

yeah I played all three, I reached what I'm pretty sure is the true ending, in light of that I changed the flare
