This sounds like an interesting game! I love a good horror game, Supermassive Games tends to be a great studio which makes buy worthy games. I’m sold on the multiplayer release too. I’ll be checking out reviews to see if this is a winner or a stinker!

House Flipper 2 has been out for some months, and I've been trying to write a fair review for just as long. But there are so many little things that bug me i...
James Stephanie Sterling pretty much confirmed my suspicions about Stellar Blade. That crosses a clumsy, knock off borderline softcore porn version of Nier Automata out of my mind forever! Thank God for them!
I want to hate this review, I really don't like pieces with snide remarks and jokes, I had my fill with XPlay on that.
But Sterling seems to want to genuinely review it fairly, and I can't fault them for that.
@Dennis5891 Sterling is a genuine reviewer through and through, anything they've reviewed is fair! Journalistic integrity mixed with snide remarks and jokes has always been a priority for Sterling. The 7.5/10 seems like a fair score for a decent but clumsy game like this.
32 years ago today on May 5 1992, one of the greatest games of all time (and forever my favorite first person shooter), Wolfenstein 3D, was released. I wrote about it for the list of 20 video games I can't stop thinking about (https://spacetimetech.wordpress.com/2024/04/06/20-video-games-i-cant-stop-thinking-about). I still play it regularly. Sometimes weekly. Killing digital Nazis is always fun and therapeutic.
@synlogic nice! Oh wow and yeah recently saw that original version - so wild. Had no idea. The evolution of it all is so cool, and now the Wolf games are so polished haha. I just love that old blocky look though 😂
Won an Unofficial Elder Scrolls Pages giveaway and the package came in today! Thank you so much! Absolutely love everything that was in here. Cannot wait to have these little posters on display.
Hey folks, I have a #witcher#ttrpg question - is there an online marketplace where people can self-publish Witcher material? I don't see anything on DriveThruRPG beyond the official stuff, not sure if R Talsorian permit or encourage self-published stuff?
@jannem@glassbottommeg skylines 2 was horrifyingly bad, no way that was just a simple multithreading fix away from working, that thing was chopping between 5-40fps on my 4090+5950x w/ 128 gigs of ram even put down to 1080p... unity's performance IS pretty garbage but not THAT garbage, paradox/colossal rushed it out the door unfinished is all, i mean it doesn't even have actual simulation going on, none of the stats actually work.
@raptor85@jannem Yep, this. You could totally make Skylines 2 with Unity. I mean I ditched it, but that's due to future planning - right now, sure.
They just... uh... did not. Or I mean maybe they would have on a longer timeline, but they shipped it before putting in that last year of polishing and tightening.
So many comparing it with Prey when it's a very different beast. All it has in common with that is the 'emergent' puzzle solving and the fact it's set on a space station.
MY first thought: it's like Observation. Did you play Observation, the fun wee sci-fi game where you're a computer roving around cameras, flipping switches and solving puzzles in a space station orbiting Saturn? No, I'll bet you didn't you PHILESTINES. Well, anyway, the gameplay mechanic here is very similar, a digital entity bouncing around receptive nodes piloting bots and drinking juice. Yes, and in the game.
It's also a tiny bit like The Sentinel: Geoff Crammond's 8-bit Opus where you conscious-zapped from robot body to robot body to avoid the Titular overseer. Listen out for some music snippets that homage/directly riff on that old game's iconic sound effects: dun-dan-dun-dun-DUHHHN. But this game is more advanced and accessible that that hoary old classic.
I'm four levels in and having a great time. I've frozen more M.U.M.s than an explosion in Iceland. I've made DADs my [female dog]: "THIS IS WRONG". And I think the person guiding me via witty messages knows too much.
