This community is focused on games, of all kinds. Any news item or discussion should be related to gaming in some way.

2. No bigotry or harassment, be civil

No bigotry, hardline stance. Try not to get too heated when entering into a discussion or debate.

We are here to talk and discuss about one of our passions, not fight or be exposed to hate. Posts or responses that are hateful will be deleted to keep the atmosphere good.

3. No excessive self-promotion

4. Stay on-topic; no memes, funny videos, giveaways, reposts, or low-effort posts

This community is mostly for discussion and news. Remember to search for the thing you're submitting before posting to see if it's already been posted.

We want to keep the quality of posts high. Therefore, memes, funny videos, low-effort posts and reposts are not allowed. We prohibit giveaways because we cannot be sure that the person holding the giveaway will actually do what they promise.

My cart currently (although I'm not sure I'll pull the trigger on all of them):

  • The Drifter - 20% off (The game I'm most looking forward to playing at the moment. Was hoping for a bigger sale but it never seems to go below 20% so might just pull the trigger).
  • Roadwarden - 75% off (Dirt cheap and I've heard good things about the writing.)
  • Road 96 - 80% off (One dollar off the all-time low and I've heard great things. Procedurally generated road trip sounds interesting.)
  • The Banner Saga 2 - 85% off (Played the first one and loved the setting, story and writing. Should probably play the sequel at some point).
  • The Sinking City Remastered - 85% off (Found out about this because of the upcoming sequel. Haven't played a detective game in a while and this looks decent.)
  • Wanted: Dead - 80% off (Made by ex-Team Ninja people who worked on the first two 3D Ninja Gaidens. I've heard some mixed things but I'm morbidly curious. I don't think this is a great game, but it could be fun for a single playthrough for the novelty of it. It is pretty unhinged and might be charming for it).

Also looking at Trepang2, Hell Is Us and ROUTINE but I'm not sure they're my vibe at the moment.

wanted: dead is great fun and very short - finished on normal my playtime is 13 hours and i died a lot. there's some minigames and new game+ to squeeze some extra out of it if you want

Would you say Normal was a fun challenge or would you recommend just playing on Easy? I've heard some not great things about the game's balance.

[–] kip@piefed.zip 2 points 1 day ago (1 children)

it's been a little while but apart from some spikes at bosses i'd say the difficulty curve is U shaped, as you get the hang of combat and unlock abilities from the skill trees the mid game might get boring on easy. it ramps up near the end but if you die enough times in a row the game will ask you on the continue screen if you want to drop the difficulty, so i'd say start on normal
