  • they’re not really platformers like, eg. Mario, they’re a lot slower with the focus being on environmental puzzles (levers, boxes, elevators, avoiding obvious enemy sight etc), with the occasional escape sequences here and there. The puzzles aren’t really any sort of headscratchers, basically “how do I get there? oh, I drop this box to break the floor here (telegraphed hard)”

    If Little Nightmares -series is familiar, they’re basically like that. While the puzzles aren’t hard, they’re generally timed to allow the obvious enemy to get close enough for the player to “pucker up” a bit and then flee the scene with a relief.


  • Finished Kathy Rain 2 few hours ago. Very nice point & click game with reasonable puzzles. The first game and this one went kinda off the rails towards the end, but it seems like “a thing” this series does, I say hoping there’s a 3rd one.

    The pixel art is just stupidly gorgeous with modern lighting/reflection effects and voice acting is good accross the board.

    If anything negative, there’s quite a bit of back and forth traveling to unlock-stuff-to-do-the-thing-elsewhere, it comes a off as a bit of “trial and error” style of exhausting options to get the crucial hint to progress. But other than that, the game is great.






  • While it’s not indie: Cyberpunk 2077?

    You can make your character as pretty as you please (though, no “sex appeal” -slider like in Saint’s Row :D). Also, no 3rd person camera, so you’d only see your character in inventory screen. Otherwise there’s bit of boobies to be seen - and massive amounts if you so choose with modding.

    Difficultywise it’ll cater to very casual approach, but the game does the “bethesda-thing” where you will end up as destroyer of worlds regardless of difficulty.

    edit: btw, you might want to specify your platform? No modding for cyberpunk on consoles as of yet, I just assumed PC here.





  • I got back to Marvel Heroes (tldr: “mmo” diablo-clone with marvel characters), as the private server emulator resurrected the game.

    The game got killed ~8 years ago, and every passing year since made my craving for the game that much worse. And late 2024 some absolute madlads released a server emulator, and it’s seems to work great, though the server I’m currently playing is having occasional lag spikes, which isn’t great. I could self-host the server for just for me and/or some friends, but that’d require effort. :D

    Anyhoo, got through the story-campaign with my fav marvel character, started looking at the end game … and suddenly I remembered why I stopped playing the game in the first place. It gets pretty grindy. Oh well, I still have a truck load of characters to play - they all play quite differently, give or take some similar ones (like, the thing, hulk, etc bruisers are fairly samey, gun-tooting-heroes also are somewhat similar, but still all of them have their own twist to it). Each max leveled character gives an account-wide exp boost so leveling gets faster and faster. So… gotta churn them levels, I guess. :)

    EDIT: oh right, I also finished Kathy Rain, a pretty neat detective point-and-click adventure. I can’t say I had heard of the game before, but as people were frothing about Kathy Rain 2, and the first one was on steep discount, I decided to give it a go… and oh man, worth.

    The art, voice acting and gameplay were great. Puzzles were logical for the most part, but there were 2-3 puzzles which did stump me a bit and had to take a peek on a walkthrough - one wasn’t even difficult, but I was overthinking it way too hard and somehow confused red and blue repeatedly, but I guess few beers do affect detective skills… In any case I got through the game with a LONG single session, but I just couldn’t let it go.

    Anyhoo, Kathy Rain was pretty dope, eagerly waiting to pick up the sequel later on.
