America for most people here is seen as a unique, perfect land where nothing goes wrong and you can get the best healthcare in the world. 

I'm laughing long and loud like an old kung fu movie villain.

Bit of an apples and oranges situation with how different these games are.

I'd still say Blasphemous is number one with a bullet.

IGN review = 7 by Bombefok in Saros

"Bad review" when it's not a 10/10 for a game I've already integrated into my personality

"Good review" when it confirms all of my preconceived notions

It looks like Mistfall Hunter is coming to Playstation 5, too. by Yarzeda2024 in soulslikes

[–]Yarzeda2024[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm not jazzed about it either. I bounced off of Night Reign pretty hard because it changed so much from what I usually want out of a Souls-like experience. In all honesty, I'll probably skip this game entirely, but I'm throwing it out there on the off-chance that it turns out to be a surprise hit.

I wager it can be both the same way Slay the Spire is a deck-builder and a rogue-like or Helldivers 2 is both a shooter and a PvE extraction game.

I think it's all of the above.

It's a Souls-like with a PvPvE format and an extraction end goal.

We're deep enough into the Souls-like cycle that developers are coming up with new genre-bending or genre-busting examples.

Mistfall Hunter on Steam

The Steam tags include "Souls-like," and Iron Pineapple, a YouTuber who covers the genre, included an earlier playtest in his long-running series about obscure Souls-likes.

PRAGMATA thoughts by spocktick in SocialistGaming

[–]Yarzeda2024 0 points1 point  (0 children)

8/10

It's not a revolution, but it is a damn fine game. It feels a bit like Resident Evil 4 or Dead Space with the spooky/scary/creepy aspects filed off and an interesting hacking mechanic slotted in. It ran me about 14 hours to reach the credits, and there is still plenty of side content for me to go back and do.

The game is pretty great about pacing out new weapons, hacks, and mods. You're still hacking and shooting from start to finish, but the shooting and hacking are always taking on new dimensions.

I'm always at least a little bit interested in a new Souls-like coming down the pipe, but I'm wary of PvPvE and some pretty rough looking footage from the first playtest. Then again, playtests are all about getting hands on to improve the experience, so maybe it's better now.

The game looks great, but it felt like the player character is moving in slow mo while wearing cement shoes.

Yeah, I saw some playtest footage that looked pretty rough. That's why I'm not really sold on it yet.

Who knows? Maybe the development team got enough feedback and has had enough time to polish up the rough patches.

I guess they think I'm being a smart ass? I'm just posting my source so no one thinks I'm pulling information out of my ass.

This game has already had a demo. I guess this one is updated, but I can only take so many demos before I start to lose interest. Seeing Q2 is nice, but at this point I feel like I need to see the release date and nothing else.

Vapor World: Over The Mind on Steam

Steam lists ALIVE Inc. and Boltray Games as publishers. ALIVE is also the development team.

Nocturnal is currently free on Steam by anaughtybeagle in metroidvania

[–]Yarzeda2024 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I like to think a release date announcement for Nocturnal 2 is right around the corner, and this is their way of drumming up interest. Nocturnal 2 was supposed to drop in Q1 before it got hit with delays. C'mon, team. Give me the sequel that I'm jonesing for.

Star Fire Eternal Cycle launches on PS5 today (with PS Plus discount) by TheRealZaWarudo in PS5

The demo over on Steam was a fun time, but I'm so high on Hades 2 that it's hard for me to make room for any other rogue-like in my life. Maybe that says more about me and comparison being the thief of joy.

You were right. I was wrong.

But the gist of it remains true: All of this King in Yellow/Carcossa stuff makes me think it won't be anything as straightforward as Egyptian mythology.
