What game mechanics do you enjoy or that surprised you when playing a game? I recently started playing Tunic and I love building out the “manual” for the game and getting hints on how to play.
Its a little silly but I do enjoy those little things they add to a game that don’t really add much in terms of gameplay, heck you’re even able to play the game without making use of them, but are a nice way of sort of just “grounding” yourself in the world for a time, giving you some time to pause and reflect a little on whats been happening.
Stuff like pulling out a guitar with Into the Radius and trying to strum out a lil beat or stopping in at a diner in Shadows of Doubt and having a little coffee and watching the world go by while mulling over a case that you’re on. I think that kind of stuff is pretty rad.
A very social one I like is being able to get beers from the bar in Deep Rock Galactic.
Sea of Thieves has tons of that kind of thing. Nothing beats an impromptu shanty on your way to pirate shenanigans.
I was looking at Shadows of Doubt earlier today. Looks great, would you recommend it?
I’ve certainly enjoyed my time with it so far, and I’ve found it to really scratch that detective noir itch quite well. Its early access mind you so I’ve encountered a few bugs here and there, and it might feel a little repetitive after a while (an issue that I imagine will be ironed out more as the game gets fleshed out more) but what’s there was still pretty fun and for the price I say it was worth it for me :)
