Blood rain, giblets, and warm bullet casings
Mild, sharp, and sharper cheese tastings
Metal dudes shredding their taut guitar strings
These are a few of my favorite things

  • I’m surprised I didn’t see it mentioned here (unless I missed it) but I use the “hide game” function liberally. Anything I’m not interested in, gave up on with no chance of trying again, completed with no desire to revisit, or won’t touch for any other reason just goes away, out of sight. It helps give a real sense of progression through your collection and you can pare it down to favorites you would likely revisit and things you have yet to play. And the hidden tab is easily viewable if you ever want to look at everything for any reason like rethinking putting a particular game in there.

    There are subjects in which I have formal training and extensive experience in.

    Grammar clearly not being one of them.

    I kid. Sorry, I’m a sucker for low hanging fruit.





  • Only thing is, it’s not about getting good, or wasn’t for me. Once that info came out, the illusion is shattered. In other roguelites I play, I always knew or thought I had a chance to an extent. Learning there even exist unwinnable seeds just killed my drive to play is all. It’s not about getting good for me. The game part went away when I learned that. Add that on top of the other issues that decreased my fun and it was a wrap for me.

    Arguably appropriate with its success and the already burgeoning influence in new games. I loved the demo at next fest, played for hours and knew it was an instant buy. And I loved the full game, for about 5 hours. Once you realize that it really is just a restart simulator due to literally unwinnable seeds, the illusion breaks, or did for me. As a roguelite fan, I also didn’t enjoy the lack of run shaping tools and abundance of bloat jokers that only got worse as you won more. Very addictive and solid game, but I don’t think I’ve ever experienced a “bait and switch” from demo to 1.0 quite like it.

    Because of the fantasy novels I have to recommend Pyre. I’d recommend all Supergiant games to anyone, but Pyre is a special work of art with fantastic writing and unique gameplay. If he really likes fantasy, he should love it because I don’t at all but I did. It’s presented in visual novel style with action “combat” segments.
