Silent Hill (Duckstation) - classic survival horror game
- great atmosphere, strong sense of mystery and dread
- oldschool approach to mystery/horror where everything doesn’t have to be explained or logical
- some outstanding puzzles
- combat is kinda annoying, but when you play with emulator you at least have saves everywhere
Sekiro is really testing my patience with my own skills
Is it your first time playing it? Sekiro is probably my favourite game of all time but it’s definitely not beginner-friendly. The steep learning curve is pretty intense but so worth it when it clicks!
Enjoy! I wish I could play it for the first time again. How far have you made it so far?
Unlock The King: Cheap, simple puzzler that uses chess pieces and how they‘re allowed to move, but otherwise has nothing in common with actuall chess. Recommended.
Orcs Must Die! 3: Comic-y 3rd person tower defense game (here: traps) that doesn’t take itself too seriously. I was a big fan of OMD2 and thought 3 was their weird pvp game called Unchained or whatever, so this one went completely past me and now I get to play a complete and new (to me) OMD for cheap! Recommended.
Potion Permit: Harvest Moon but you’re making potions instead. The pixel art is absolutely amazing. The game feels a bit too small and has weird technical issues (stutter, sudden increase in CPU load or controller input crapping itself until you restart), but it‘s still fun af. Recommended.
Fields of Mistria: Early Access Harvest Moon clone in Gameboy Color style. It may be Early Access, but it runs smooth, I‘ve experienced zero bugs and after ten hours I‘m not even in my first fall. It‘s already well worth a buy. Recommended.
The Spirit and The Mouse is free on Epic Games right now. I’ve been enjoying it - gentle, cute game where you play as a little electric mouse in a french village trying to help it’s citizens. Rough around the edges with a lot of heart.
I’ve been playing a bunch of SSX tricky. It’s super old, but I absolutly love it even 20 years later. I’ve been playing on the PC using a ps2 emulator.
I’ve also been playing simpsons hit and run which really holds up. It’s a simpsons version of grand theft auto & it’s just fun. It’s another emulated ps2 game.
Lastly I’ve been playing survival fountain of youth. It’s a fairly recent release. You play as a shipwrecked Spaniard looking for the fountain of youth. I enjoy the base building & exploration – the story line is fiiine but nothing special.
