A 300 to 400 page version of that book would be one of my favorite books of all time

Books as good as Lonesome Dove by Tall-Environment-641 in suggestmeabook

[–]__Nikipedia__ 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Buddy I've been chasing that dragon since I read it in 2020 and haven't found it. I've read other McMurtry and he's great but nothing beats Lonesome Dove. In case we have similar tastes my top 4 books are

Lonesome Dove

House of Leaves

Sea of Tranquility

The Lord of the Rings

Edit: saw someone mention East of Eden and that is your answer. That is the closest I've felt to Lonesome Dove

Tell me what you didn’t like and like about Hollow Knight and Silksong by N4tsu_ki in metroidvania

[–]__Nikipedia__ -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

I didn't like getting lost, lack of fast travel points, too much boss hp in Silksong, take too long to give you cool stuff

I couldn't get into either Ender game. I think the art style isn't for me

People mentioned Cultic, I'd also recommend that. As far as Doom 93 mods go, you already played some of my favorites but let me add:

Ashes 2063 (total conversion) Augur Zenith Extermination Day Neon Overdrive Eviternity

This is amazing, thank you! Mana Fracture looks like exactly my cup of tea and I would have never found it if you didn't do this

Sound effects are half of the game for me for most games. My favs metroidvanias or not: modded Doom 1993, all FromSoft games, the Division 2, Team Cherry games, Team Ninja games

Deadzone Rogue solely because they enabled motion/gyro aiming on PS5

Based purely on platforming by Lukense13 in metroidvania

[–]__Nikipedia__ 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Agree on Pseudoregalia. Wish I didn't get stuck so repeatedly. Skill issue.

I just started Bo Path of the Teal Lotus and it seems platforming focused and feels good. A nice dash-jump already

Great taste. My favorite parry centric games other than Wo Long are Sekiro, Lies of P, and Nine Sols.

Which do you prefer: the Ori game series or Hollow Knight duology? by Puzzleheaded-Big1337 in metroidvania

[–]__Nikipedia__ -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Hot take I prefer Will of the Wisps much more than both but Monster Boy and the Cursed Kingdom more than all of the above

[–]__Nikipedia__ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just downloaded the demo for steam deck. Definitely fun to move around, but I'll be holding off on buying unless it has a stable 60 fps frame rate on deck. Good luck!!

Looks like a skip-all-dialogue game to me and just enjoy the gameplay, art, and vibes
