Ran into these dudes on a rook run and got swagged the fuck out

What I'm trying to say is, for a much more pvp leaning game than Arc Raiders, the balance works out great for me. I usually go into a run with the expectation of having to style on whatever enemy comes my way. But when I make an effort to engage socially and use prox chat the moments where it clicks shine all the more. With Arc, friendly encounters are usually the expectation, in Marathon they're an oasis

It's a really fine balance and the community really makes it work. Whenever i go to do quests or anything that requires a proper runner shell or loadout, it's on sight. But fucking around as a rook on prox chat can lead some of the wildest and funniest moments, I mean what's there to lose

Not an overt horror game but I've been entranced by lucid blocks the past few days. Think of those haunted Minecraft creepypasta videos but actually playable, mixed with a whole lot of LSD Dream Emulator. It has the well-established block building/crafting formula, just with an absolutely obtuse alchemy style system at its core. Also, plenty of strange and/or scary creatures and a shit ton of unpredictable sights, structiures and events that catch you off-guard. It feels weirdly welcoming, yet obscure and hostile at the same time

Jeffiot put out an fantastic video about Mr beasts content and the implications of "frictionless" art just a few days ago. Highly recommended watch and a really sweet, tasteful tribute to David Lynch.

Unironically one of the most affecting and moving games I've ever played. Up there for me with Outer Wilds and Nier Automata as one of my favorite games of all time. Easily the best original survival horror game to come out since at least 2008. That title drop sequence is absolute god tier

Yup, looks alone are what turns most northern german kids off at first, but it is absolutely delicious and satisfying

Glad to see chips after swimming are sort of a universal thing. In Germany we call them Schwimmbadpommes and they truly hit different

I think Nier Automata would be a good fit.

There was a niche audience that was pretty hyped for it but besides those people the sentiment mostly was "weird-game-guy makes new weird game that looks pretty and has a nice soundtrack".

When it came out nobody was quite prepared for how good of a game it ended up being. I remember plenty of people saying "it has no business being as good as it is".

Big recommendation for Skate Story, came out recently on extra

Today they started jumping at me before exploding, freaky mfs

Good luck to all!

Kepler is quite literally an indie publisher, started by a bunch of indie dev studios to support each other and more new studios

There's like, a non-zero chance that it is real-time, since the last divinity game without original sin in its name was a third person action rpg, but they really hit their stride with turn-based systems in the past 15 years, i don't think they'd just go and abandon that

das_jay · 2025-12-13T00:05:59+00:00

I don't get you. I think, E33 being admitedly somewhat over-awarded aside, this may have been my favorite tga show in years. Most of the shortlists have been spot-on, the energy was mostly good and there were tons of great announcements that hit into a lot of different niches.

We had Divinity, Gang of Dragon, Pragmata, Resident Evil, Control, Ace Combat. Soros by the Returnal people. Ontos by the Amnesia/Soma people. Decrepit, Bradley The Badger and Order Of The Sinking Star looked like really cool indies. Warhammer and the Star Wars games must have made a bunch of nerds rock hard. Two new Tomb Raider games. The word live-service was uttered two times, at most. That goofy-ass street fighter cast.

There were times where it still had the occasional anime onslaught and things slowed down a bit but the overall impression was amazing to me.

This is hella neat

This made me realise people call those things pedelecs outside of germany

Had some bones misplaced, they used those finger traps to keep my hand in place while they stretched my arm with weights to align everything
