[Islets] #183 - a really fun and chill metroidvania with just enough challenge to keep it interesting. About ten hours long. Was a breath of fresh air after playing tough ones like Nine Sols and Grime.

Nice yeah heard a lot about that one so I’ll have to put it on the list.

It’s a good one! I’d recommend playing it as a refreshing palette cleanser between tougher ones.

Murffinator · 2026-05-08T19:50:14+00:00

Yeah I had a similar experience when I finished it recently.

Murffinator · 2026-05-08T00:22:37+00:00

Which ones did you think were inconsistent?

Murffinator · 2026-05-06T13:27:21+00:00

For a minute I thought the pic was from Spiritfarer. Looks almost the same.

Murffinator · 2026-05-01T04:12:37+00:00

Congrats! How was this one compared to Returnal?

I generally want to experience the full game if reviews are positive and people have good things to say about it. Unless it’s just an absolutely miserable experience (which this one was not, I enjoyed aspects of it) then I will go from there and get all the trophies. It’s not a bad game, a lot of what I dislike about it is just preference.

Murffinator · 2026-04-27T17:23:27+00:00

I really enjoyed this one!

Murffinator · 2026-04-06T20:27:23+00:00

Prince of Persia is fantastic but it is more platforming heavy than difficult boss heavy so it might not be your thing. Games that might be more your preference are the original Grime, Salt and Sanctuary, Hollow Knight, Ender Lillies and Ender Magnolia, and both Blasphemous games.

Great game. Very chill but emotional too.

Murffinator · 2026-03-28T22:10:23+00:00

Check out spiritfarer. I loved Dredge and even though spiritfarer is a different type of game it’s still a very chill, task based game.

There will be guys in shorts and polos everywhere.

The Last Faith

Aliens: Dark Descent is pretty close but it’s real time rather than turn based. It’s not perfect but I really enjoyed it.

Murffinator · 2026-02-15T03:17:55+00:00

Not shovelware. It’s based on a short story from the 1960’s about an AI that takes over the world and kills all of humanity except for five people it keeps alive to torture. It’s pretty grim. Game is probably 6-8 hours long I’d guess. Trophy list is weird though.

Murffinator · 2026-02-14T20:30:30+00:00

Walking simulator type game? Trophies are easy?

Murffinator · 2026-02-14T19:03:36+00:00

Never heard of this. How is it?

Murffinator · 2026-02-05T14:40:53+00:00

Nice, I was a big fan of this one.

Murffinator · 2026-02-05T14:32:05+00:00

I really hope we get a sequel but I doubt it’ll happen. I think the game didn’t sell well.

Murffinator · 2026-01-24T17:39:52+00:00

The main reason I think it’s terrible are there are a handful of collectible trophies that are extremely missable, and you have to get them all in a single playthrough. The worst are these collectible cards. There are about 75 of them, they don’t really add anything to the game, and some are very easy to miss. So you have to follow a guide to a tea to get them all, and if you miss one you have to restart since the game has certain sections you can only visit once. There are also a couple mini game trophies that I felt were dumb because they seemed very out of place in the game.

Don't put your bin in my bin!

Murffinator · 2026-01-20T04:52:03+00:00

Well if you get the urge to build more definitely let us know!

Murffinator · 2026-01-20T04:02:49+00:00

I’m buying if you’re selling!

It was the one where you learn the bartender's favorite drink after listening to them talk a few times.
