NEW RELEASE - Darkest Mine by atomicpoet in c/[email protected]

[-] [email protected] 2 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago)

A 2D game with pixel art graphics reminiscent of 8-bit computer games. Gamepad is required -- can't play this with a keyboard. There's a couch co-op mode. Not many reviews on this but there's a demo available, and the dev currently has a live broadcast going on. With an introductory price of C$5.19, it's quite inexpensive.

A nice fresh premise for a game. Couch PvP is available. There's also support for gamepads, both Xbox and DualShock. And the reviews are good so far. Oh yeah, at C$8.99, this is cheap.

NEW RELEASE - The Local by atomicpoet in c/[email protected]

[-] [email protected] 2 points 4 months ago

An online PvP with parkour elements. The cel-shaded graphics are highly enjoyable. You can play with a gamepad. Oh yeah, and it's completely free with no micro-transactions.

NEW RELEASE - Ms. Holmes: Letter M Collector's Edition by atomicpoet in c/[email protected]

[-] [email protected] 2 points 4 months ago

Another HOG published by Big Fish Games. Some people like these games, some hate them. Personally, I like HOGs. They offer hours of comfy entertainment. Plus, they're low spec and work on most devices, including on Macs.

This is the follow-up to Ms. Holmes: The Case of the Dancing Men, which came out last year. Not a whole lot of reviews for that one, but here's a sequel.

NEW RELEASE - R/A\W by atomicpoet in c/[email protected]

I'm not the biggest fan of visual novels, but I think it's important to hear from Russian anti-war voices. Plus, this is free and it has native compatibility with Mac and Linux.

NEW RELEASE - Jasper Redds vs The Ares Belt by atomicpoet in c/[email protected]

[-] [email protected] 2 points 4 months ago

A 2D bullet hell vertical shoot-'em-up. It has gamepad support, and an introductory price of C$4.86.

Is it any good? I don't know but, to my eyes and ears, it could be good. There are no reviews for this yet.

NEW RELEASE - Rogue Rhythm by atomicpoet in c/[email protected]

[-] [email protected] 1 points 4 months ago

No reviews for this yet, so caution is warranted. However, I really like rogue-like RPGs, and one with rhythm mechanics is highly attractive to me. I also love the pixel art style, though this is clearly not "true" to the 8-bit era (that is fine).

NEW RELEASE - Blood Running by atomicpoet in c/[email protected]

[-] [email protected] 1 points 4 months ago

So far, this has a 91% positive rating on Steam based on 100 reviews. It offers gamepad support and is playable on Steam Deck. I like the 2D sprite-based pixel art style, and it's very colourful. Definitely promising!

3°C: Sand Puzzle by atomicpoet in c/[email protected]

[-] [email protected] 1 points 4 months ago

This one is shocking because it's published by Kemco, and they almost only ever make JRPGs. But here it is, a puzzle game! It's fairly inexpensive and actually has a discount. There's gamepad support, so that's nice. I have no idea if it's good, but there's a demo -- so try before you buy.

NEW RELEASE - Venomous by atomicpoet in c/[email protected]

[-] [email protected] 1 points 4 months ago

Not many reviews on this one yet but it has a great premise. Instead of jumping from platform to platform, you sling a web. At C$2.59, it's also super cheap. The visuals are what you'd call "minimalistic", but I think this is a fascinating game.

NEW RELEASE - BrokenLore: LOW by atomicpoet in c/[email protected]

[-] [email protected] 1 points 4 months ago

Impressive visuals with this one but you'll need some good hardware to get the most of it: recommended specs are 32GB of RAM and an RTX 2080. This game has good reviews, has a demo, and also has gamepad support. Also, this one has a nice setting.
