Fun throwback FPS that's probably twice as long as it needs to be.

I accidentally fell down a big hole when trying to talk to a character and then they never spawned again so I walked around aimlessly for like half an hour unable to trigger any sort of end game so I just stopped playing.
Probably not the intended experience.

Seems like a pretty fun game that I have absolutely no patience for.
A beautiful, contemplative experience. I"m always happy to see games that aren't centered around 'kill the bad guys' mechanics.
While it's probably due to the way I played it, but I feel the pacing may be a bit off? There were times where I had nothing to do but wait, but I've always been the type of player who gets sidetracked by sidequests. I'm kinda curious to see how this plays without the additional DLC. I think the added length detracted from some of the more emotional beats.
I already have both of Thunder Lotus's previous games in my Steam backlog, I should probably get around to playing them

Distills the feeling of crafting that perfectly synergized deck that feeds upon itself & makes those numbers get bigger and bigger.
Maybe a bit too luck reliant, but it is a slot machine and games are short enough where I don't feel too bad losing because of RNG.

I'm fascinated with how Daniel Mullins thinks about games. Pony Island was super interesting, and The Hex even moreso. However, neither game is terribly compelling to play? Especially since important aspects are intentionally obfuscated, or even located in completely other games. I would recommend watching a good stream of this game, but even that would lessen the impacts of the themes found within this game. An extremely hard game to rate, but please play it if it sounds interesting to you.
Very excited to play Inscryption!

Good story, strong characters, some of the worst fighting mechanics I've ever engaged with, Dreamfall is a noticeable step down from the first title in the series.
People play the Dreamfall series for the story, and I think the world here is super interesting, but the storytelling here didn't hold my interest as much as The Longest Journey did. There's too much running around IMO, and the multiple perspectives aren't balanced as well as they could have been. The environmental world building is very good however, each place feels distinct and lived in.
Very clearly act two in a three act narrative, I'm very much looking forward to Dreamfall: Chapters. There's a lot of interesting ways this story could go and I'm intrigued to see where it ends up!
