This game was fantastic — great story, art style, gameplay. It's very hard, but there are sliders to control the difficulty. I have this game in my top 10 metroidvanias, so I'm excited for others who don't have a PC to try it out

I have not. I see it getting decent reviews (80-85%-ish). Between this and other high profile releases, I think it'll be in my backlog

Congrats!!🎉

I never played Outer Wilds, but Tunic, Fez, Animal Well, the Witness, etc. are some of my absolute favorites. I’m with you…

[-] chrisbrummel@infosec.pub 3 points 5 months ago

I loved the demo for this game and while there aren't many reviews out, the ones that are are really positive.

[-] chrisbrummel@infosec.pub 3 points 6 months ago

You just described what I’m going through 100%.

[-] chrisbrummel@infosec.pub 3 points 7 months ago

I love it. Funniest play I’ve seen in a long time.

His explanation

Maybe it would've been better if he had made the shot, but give them something to laugh about, some excitement.

…my god. Did he hit his head on the rim?!

[-] chrisbrummel@infosec.pub 3 points 8 months ago

I haven't played it, but I hear really good things about this retro-3D metroidvania called Pseudoregalia

[-] chrisbrummel@infosec.pub 3 points 8 months ago

I don't know if you played Laika: Aged Though Blood, but I'm curious out the biking mechanic compares. (Also had a killer sound-track, albeit a very different tone/style)

[-] chrisbrummel@infosec.pub 2 points 1 year ago

Middling reviews at best. I think I'll hold off for now…

[-] chrisbrummel@infosec.pub 3 points 1 year ago

It looks like you might be asking specifically about the off-season, but regardless of season, I’d like more video highlights. Thanks!
