Today's game is R.E.P.O. This game has probably become the go to multiplayer game for my group there's no plot to follow so we don't have to worry about everyone attending and most of my friends have a copy. Not to mention the rounds are quick so we can pop in for 1 or 2 and pop out. I chose the main screenshot because of the way we stacked all the stuff. It's a damn nice stacking job if i do say so myself.
The game got a newer update, so along with a bunch of cool new shit there's been some reworks too. The latest has been that you can only hold enemies for so long. I think they also reworked the pathfinding AI a little bit. Before i could block a hallway with a door like above and they would turn from the door i feel like. Now they just go straight through it. I lost a major strategy there, but at least i can still use it to slow enemies down. I've started using it too make makeshift alarms because most enemies will attack the door. The only one i don't think will is the Huntsman. I haven't seen him walk into it though so maybe he doesn't ignore it.
One thing this game needs is just a straight up battle mode. Me and my friends spend too long in the Shop dicking around and killing eachother (which is what we're doing in the screenshot above). The game already has a battle mode for if everyone dies, so the code is mostly there i imagine. Now that i'm thinking about it a few misc. modes wouldn't be such a bad idea. Maybe like a hide and seek one? A grocery store map would be sick too. I've been saying that for a while. Or like a IKEA inspired one.
Our shop fights have turned us also into trappers as we've started setting traps for each other all over the place. My personal favorite is to hide it behind a door to the bathroom because people will walk through the door and detonate it. I'll also set one on the truck and when someone comes out and carelessly jumps over it they'll blow up. I had one friend try and set a trap using a wall of carts and then a wall of mines behind it. It nearly ended up getting me when i tried to set it off to get through. But it ended up back firing and killing another friend instead.
I've also started walking up to friends and handing them a grenade i primed and asking them to "hold this". Most of the time they'll realize it's primed and toss it, but one of my friends i handed a grenade and asked him to hold it and he just kept holding it. His reasoning was that he "didn't think it'd blow up if he kept holding it". It in fact did blow up and killed him.
