indie games

part of a wave of media recently about the self and selling out your identity/body to a corporation. played in the wake of DE so maybe i didn’t appreciate the narrative and writing as much as i could have due to comparison; enjoyed the gameplay, surprisingly, much more than the story.

UN JOUR JE SERAI DE RETOUR PRÉS DE TOI

Hekki ALLMO. haven’t finished playing yet but cried multiple times due to the *themes*. this shit is heartbreaking; we all make the same mistakes over and over and atone forever.

pissed me off how badly most of the fandom misinterpreted the plot and themes here.

as with all time loop games, starts to get a bit tedious once you’re trial-and-erroring your routine. fun premise and i LOOOOVE captain anders. meow.

i love translation games. the dialogue mechanics in this are amazing - inkle has really discovered something that works for them and honed it over time and this is the product. i love a good archeological mystery. i should probably play outer wilds…

stars removed for being too hard. the premise of this is so novel for a platformer and if the navigation wasn’t so hard it would be an easy 5 because i love the puzzles. unfortunately remembering where the gates are and walking through 50 million portals just to wind up somewhere i’ve already been sucks out all the fun for me 🫠

this was fun while it lasted, but it quickly gets repetitive to play over and over again - particularly because it’s difficult to get any sort of progression in the game due to the bugs. i just found myself starting over and over again with mysteries which was fun for a while but i couldn’t do all the promised end-game stuff. the potential of this really pisses me off because they’re not updating with new features anymore…

i wish i could play this again and erase those languages from my mind. loved discovering the mystery of the tower for the first time!

FUCK YEAHHHH. best gameplay, soundtrack fire, characters hot. megzagthan THREESOME 💜

okay yeah everyone’s always talking about how revolutionary this was and i agree but was it fun to play? no. the visual novel sections were SO LONG??? nobody is sitting there for all that.

scary

almost perfect but WHY AM I LOCKED OUT OF ALL THE ROYAL CONTENT. HOW. you shouldn’t be able to be locked out of things without warning, i shouldn’t have to LOOK IT UP to avoid it. and now it’s too late.

i’m always trying to get people to play this. i’m nowhere near good enough but it’s still a good game

it’s a good idea? i just don’t know if it’s stuck with me. i find it more stressful than fun.

like a minecraft phase. early island stage was AMAZING but i can’t bring myself to play at all now even though i have the house dlc. actually you know what maybe reminding myself of that… i will actually play…

good simply for the idea. no replayability at all but i had fun the first time!

i’m waiting until i forget it so i can play again. heart WRENCHING. and the boat management is top tier.

hype is deserved; it’s a very novel blend of genres. now that it exists it feels almost impossible not to copy, like “how did we not know this was an option before?” i’m not really good enough to be hooked forever, but while i was into it and actively playing, it was addictive.

I FINALLY FIGURED OUT HOW THIS GAME WORKS. i will forever be coming back to this, something just clicked and now i’m relatively good. also they added infinite practice which adds a whole star
