@PaulGrahamRaven I backed it on Kickstarter. The Brothers have a long history of updating their games for years and years. They make jank but they do it with persistent love.
@sparks I'm in no place to judge it as a contribution to the genre; I'm totally new to stealth games. Which is why it's kicking my arse so thoroughly, even on the very weakest of difficulties... :)
(Are they friends of yours? Perhaps I should have guessed, given the whole grimdark-cyberBoston setting... )
@PaulGrahamRaven I don’t know them but know their work. They’ve made a bunch of inspired by WH40k type games in the past. One I like it called star trader and is very rogue trader esque
@ahmetasabanci CyberKnights: Flashpoint. It's still a bit janky in places, though it's hard for me to tell how much of the problem is rooted in my utter lack of experience with stealth-based games.
@ahmetasabanci Well, maybe wait for it to be on offer; I caught it yesterday just a few hours from the end of a 25% discount, and ~20euro seems reasonable. I mean, that's the price of a couple of cinema tickets, so if I get a handful of evenings of diversion out of it, I'm already over the odds. As for the stealth, I figure it might make a change from the CRPG hack'n'slash which has been most of my gaming recently... something a bit more mindful and patient, you know?
@ahmetasabanci (The hacking mechanic looks quite fun, and people are complaining it's hard and distracting in the discussion board, which I take to mean it's significantly more than cosmetic. But I suck so much at the base sneak'n'steal'n'shoot stuff that I haven't actually managed to try it yet... )
@TreseBrothers@ahmetasabanci Thanks for the invite! Unfortunately I have the sort of mind that finds Discord an unnavigable nightmare, so I'll just have to learn by blundering through and making mistakes... a pattern which has characterised most of my life at this point. :)
(In the meantime, if you find yourself in need of another writer, give me a shout? I'd like an opportunity to work with game designers... )
@PaulGrahamRaven Added to my wishlist to wait for that. I’ve been also feeling the urge to playing a more stealth focused game, and thinking about reinstalling some of the MGS games but playing a new game is always better.
Fully agree with you on hacking comments btw. Whenever I read that about a game it turns out the kind of thing I’m looking for.
@ahmetasabanci In the meantime, it's not at all the same sort of thing, but Citizen Sleeper is currently half price, and comes with my very strongest recommendation: really excellent writing, on a level with that of Pentiment. (It's also a smaller game, but that's forgivable for a one-person studio!)
