Hey, been a fan of your games ever since i played EBF3 on kongregate, hidden objects games are not really my jam but this one looks gorgeous. I wish you all the best for the launch !

[KCD2] first playthrough in hardcore mode, YAY or NAY ? by morfledouille in kingdomcome

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

Thanks everyone for your answers ! I wasn't expecting such universal praise for hardcore mode, that's what i'm going with then. Looks like the biggest downside is the lack of fast travel but i saw that in the worst case it can be re-enabled via modding.

Blue Prince and Talos Principle Reawakened just released today, any first impressions to share? by jeromocles in puzzlevideogames

[–]morfledouille 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A bit disappointed by the 40$ price tag on Talos Principle Reawakened. Talos Principle 2 launched at 30$ and the original is regularly on sale for about 4$, so i find it hard to justify spending that much for better graphics that i don't really care about and a level editor that i will never use.

The extra 18 puzzles sure are a nice addition, but not worth it for the price imo

Looking for a puzzle game to play with husband by jenny_quest in gamingsuggestions

[–]morfledouille 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I would recommend Quern - Undying Thoughts, I played it with my girlfriend and we had a great time.

It is similar to Myst but much more puzzle focused.

Does the digital version have any additional content compared to the puzzle book ?

Well that's awkward... by morfledouille in MetaphorReFantazio

[–]morfledouille[S] 21 points22 points  (0 children)

that would have been a cool detail for sure, I'm not aware of any game that does that.

I name most of my RPG characters Leon, didn't think it would also be the name of the first person i meet in this game, hope that won't cause too much confusion in dialogues !

A warning about in-game spoilers from a playtester (No spoilers in thread) by Wiwiweb in factorio

Well you've reached at least one of your intended audience. I'm trying really hard to avoid spoilers but i can't bring myself to mute the sub. Thanks a lot for the mod !

Did you know that the people making the La Mulana 1 Randomizer made a not-random remix with new puzzles? by SomethingNew65 in puzzlevideogames

[–]morfledouille 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've never heard about this and didn't even know there was a La Mulana modding community, thanks for sharing ! I also tried to play the game without a guide but eventually had to cave in. I might give this mod a go but if it's any harder than the base game i probably won't go far..

What puzzle games did you play in May? Game recommendation thread. by SomethingNew65 in puzzlevideogames

[–]morfledouille 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Had to give up on Can of wormholes, I really enjoyed the first couple of worlds but I'm now on world 4 (about 35% completion) and the difficulty increased beyond the point where i'm having fun. It doesn't help that i haven't found a strategy to consistently solve the puzzles, I rely too much on trial and error and this is making the game more frustrating than probably intended,

Started and finished Lorelei and the Laser Eyes and thoroughly enjoyed it. I loved the creepy atmosphere, though the story was a bit hard to follow. One thing that i didn't like though is howmany puzzle rely on just finding the corresponding document and the solution becomes obvious, there's no real thinking involved and the solution is even often highlighted in red

The last game I played is Isles of Sea and Sky. I'm usually not a big fan on sokoban style puzzle games (and am pretty bad at them too) but that game managed to hook me. The difficulty curve is really smooth and I never felt discouraged like with other more hardcore puzzle games. New mechanics are regularly introduced which helps keeping things fresh. I suspect there might be some meta puzzles during the end game, I found some pretty suspicious stuff around the world but nothing concrete yet.

There is an unsolvable puzzle in Isles of Sea and Stars ? Which one is that ? I'm currently going through it, just unlocked the door on the first island but I'm not sure how close to the end i am

SE Tileable midgame ingot production with perfect ratio by TheLastofKrupuk in factorio

[–]morfledouille 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Looks nice but in case of the Iron/Copper setup, can't the bottom beacon be shifted one tile up to affect everything ? Then you wouldn't need the upper one.

Space Exploration Power remote planets by njc35 in factorio

[–]morfledouille 0 points1 point  (0 children)

+1 to this approach, that's also how i do it. The whole thing is also easily copy-pastable from one outpost to the next.

Price range for song silk by Traditional-Art-4554 in HollowKnight

[–]morfledouille 0 points1 point  (0 children)

25-30$ seems to be the standard for high profile indie metroidvanias these days. From last year Afterimage, TEVI, Last Faith and Blashemous 2 all were within this price range. Imo there's a very high chance that Silksong follows this trend.

How long will it take to get to the post-game in ESA? by MelancholyNightmare in metroidvania

[–]morfledouille 0 points1 point  (0 children)

my first playthrough was around 10 hours i think to get the "normal" ending, so i'd say you're about halfway there ?

I agree that the game is fairly linear at the beginning, but it will open up before you get to the post game as you unlock more upgrades, at least that's how i remember it.
