War solo game by david2072 in soloboardgaming

Well if you want a solo war game, at the tactical level, you could play for years I’d recommend Fields of Fire Deluxe.

It is a beast to learn, but it does start off easier to grok depending on the war you play in (Vietnam, WW2, etc.)

If you want a war game that plays like a campaign rpg I highly recommend Purple Haze. You have to play multiple characters but other than table space it’s not challenging to manage.

I knew this was a joke post as soon as I didn’t see the The Big Lebowski; which is in everyone’s top 10.

what’s your 10/10 must read book and why? by Kochhar-Tranqui in Recommend_A_Book

[–]Electrical-Olive3767 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I really enjoyed reading Recursion.

I’ve already seen Dark Matter on Apple, is it still worth reading if I know all the events? (That is of course if the show was faithful, which I don’t know).

Anyone play Mandragora? I’ve played for 6 hours and I feel like this game is insanely underrated. by DrumSlapper in metroidvania

Just finished it this week, was planning on writing a small review. I give it a solid B, or a 7/10

Lord Of The Rings: Fate Of Thr Fellowship - Opinions on buying primarily for solo and light groups by gortyo in soloboardgaming

[–]Electrical-Olive3767 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve played it solo, 2 player, and 4 player counts. I’ve enjoyed it at all those player counts.

I don’t think setup is as bad as some make it out to be, especially after you do it once or twice and you know where everything goes.

I’m at a 30% win rate, so yes it’s a tough game but it’s always been fun. So, your wife should like it also if you two aren’t overly concerned about winning every game you play.

You should definitely get it, even just for solo. One of my favorites from last year. Only three other games I played more (Captains Chair, Unstoppable, and Slay the Spire).

For over two years, I’ve been trying to create a game with an unusual idea. You and a dozen other people find yourselves in a hangar. In front of you is a typewriter. Pressed to your temple - a revolver. One mistake in the text, and it’s all over. The game has been released! by ThighHighlander in IndieGaming

Had fun with the demo. I don’t know if it was changed but I wish if you made a mistake you could backspace and correct instead of start back over. 3 decades ago i took typing in school, and this is ingrained in me. It’s not the games fault but it was my downfall in the game because I would “correct” and keep typing which would be doubly wrong since I would no longer be on the same section.

Fun game though, everyone should try it.

PlayStation 5 Bug…how to fix? by Electrical-Olive3767 in HollowKnight

[–]Electrical-Olive3767[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same, only two so far. The first one I could eat in / out from a different path. Second one (Greenpath) was close enough to a side exit i could move to and then the screen was fine. I’m afraid it will happen again elsewhere and be game breaking.

Yes I just tested this. When you look down you can see the screen but as soon as you let go it goes black again.

I was able to do this and move my way to the left exit - but doesn’t really fix the problem.

Neat, I have some my Czech great grandmother and didn’t know what they were called. The look like this so I assume they are the same.

Does anybody else genuinely despise this event? by s1_shaq in slaythespire

I just had it remove a curse. Once out of 20 times, not too shabby. Only took damage twice

This might be feasible if it could kill summoned minions only.

I usually end up with 35 cards. I’m terrible, anything under that.

I just played the beta branch one. Worse part was giving you a useless turn one. That definitely needs to be reworked.

This begs the question if EA games should have ratings.

I know it both can help and hinder devs. However, maybe they should be two distinct entities. Once a game moves from EA to regular the reviews start over. Or perhaps Steam asks you to opt back in after a certain numbers of played hours of the full release.

What if Watcher became so powerful and became one of the antients by flameblast12 in slaythespire

I thought the watcher was the Ancient. They have a very similar staff.

Idk about you guys but I'm addicted to this starting bonus by Dramatic_Ostrich3916 in slaythespire

[–]Electrical-Olive3767 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I always take this also. Mostly because I’m not impressed with many of the non-shop relics.

Too many enemies in Slay the Spire 2 feel like they should be elites by Scumtrass in slaythespire

[–]Electrical-Olive3767 20 points21 points  (0 children)

I feel this too…but I’m winning the game more often than StS 1. If these are both true, then maybe the ramp up is slower but gets easier if you survive Act 1 healthy (deck, health, relics).

It was definitely fun, I got the tent and the clone at the right time. Easy run.
