I think Iā€™ll be finally picking up Project Wingman and Black Mesa in this sale.

Whatā€™s on your list?

I loved this game too but I was never able to finish it. The game kept getting incrementally slower as I progressed like it was having trouble processing everything. Happened on both my Switch and Xbox Series X. Hopefully the PC version is better.

That still happened on PC, or on my OG steam deck at least, but it was somewhat remedied by some commands to adjust settings. Things like turning off visible bots, background settings, UI elements. That leaves most of the processing just being you walking around/gathering and whatever background machinery you have going, vs all of everything.

I imagine those were not present on Switch/Xbox since these were basically commands applied to the game .ini.

Also FWIW, may not really be worth picking up again unless you really want to endgame it. The developer was kind of a chud to the team from some of the stories I read which seemed to result in the endgame kind of teetering off into nothing. Like, once you find all the NPCā€™s youā€™re not playing for anything but to build and optimize, even though it feels like itā€™s leading you on with more to unlock somehow.

Iā€™d double check of course, as with anything it could be a bunch of nonsense. But yeah I pretty much agree, itā€™s an ok game with some issues, they can be remedied on PC but even then itā€™s just kind of like you work to it, you did it, itā€™s done and what was the point. Thereā€™s nothing to take away from the game, I guess.

Warhammer 40k: Boltgun

Looking forward to playing it this week

Boltgun accomplishes exactly what it sets out to do. Great game. It gives me the same sort of power fantasy vibe that Space Hulk: Deathwing did but lets you actually move at the terrifying speed that a space marine should.

Highly recommend this launcher for Titanfall. The Northstar client allows mods and private servers.

Never heard of it. Is it a story heavy game? My Steam account says itā€™s similar to Hollow Knight and Ace Attorney, which seems like two completely different games.

I suppose you could say itā€™s story heavy since what youā€™re doing is piecing together what happened on the ship. The story is that youā€™re a insurance investigator and have to find out what happened to every person that was on the Obra Dinn. Itā€™s a great game. If it matters, itā€™s a Lucas Pope game, the guy who made Papers Please.

I donā€™t think there are any games that are similar to Obra Dinn, itā€™s very unique.

I picked up En Garde recently because I absolutely adore the tone, setting and swashbuckling duelist vibe.

Itā€™s a little flat for me, I donā€™t feel like it has achieved the character fantasy of being a swashbuckler in the mechanics, instead Iā€™m basically kicking boxes into people and stabbing them again and again.

Iā€™m not a fan of the bleakness of souls games but maybe Iā€™d like En Garde better, it looks like a lot of fun

I wouldnā€™t call it a soulslike really. Beyond being an over the shoulder melee game, itā€™s more of a classic PS2 era adventure game.
