Quoting: Patola

Quoting: KelsI shouldn't have played Kingdom: Classic to see how it runs on my system.

On the plus side, I managed to make it to day XXXII on my third attempt before everything suddenly fell apart.

I don't get it. I tried to watch a few gameplays on youtube but they were confusing. What's the appeal of this genre of deliberately badly drawn 2d side-scrolling games? I am sorry if this question feels like trolling but this is the way I see it.

Well, when you're stacking the deck with the "deliberately badly drawn" assumption right from the start, I can see how you wouldn't enjoy anything like it. It's hard to see the appeal to anything when you slam your mind shut before you even approach it.

As to the game itself, I've found that actually doing the tasks, and dealing with an ever larger area that needs to be looked after, is much different than just watching. I personally find it absorbing and the graphics, yes done in a deliberately limited style but I personally value those sorts of limitations, is appropriate to the game's atmosphere.

But I'm not here to sell you on something that you seem predisposed against, and could have just tried yourself for free anyway. If you don't wanna play, you don't wanna play.

Quoting: wvstolzingAlso, Oxenfree is free for two days on GOG.

I already have it (It's a really good game), but it's nice to get a GoG copy too.

"Pretty hardcore" and "not for the impatient", the last time I tried the game, translate largely to "dreary grind while stuck alone in a forest". Like most sandbox MMOs, there's no feeling of a persistent world with its own history, and nothing really to do but grind for materials to build your base (which can be interesting) and gank new players on the PvP servers.

Might be willing to give it a try again, now that there's a full release though. And the hunger system is kind of interesting. And the oldschool CRPG-looking graphics do work pretty well with the environment.

I guess there really was a market for PUBG without all the bugs and glitches. And, in the case of Fortnite, much more appealing art direction.

I got my copy the moment I saw it come up on Steam, and plan to start playing tomorrow. Looking forward to another triumph.

I'm hoping they carry on the really amazing spatial stuff they showed off in A Bird Story. The way spaces opened up as you proceeded through the story was amazing, and added a lot to the oldschool graphics.

Your title is a little misleading. I thought it was out a day early, only to find "tomorrow" in the article text.

This is one I've had my eye on since Samsai took it for a spin on the Friday stream a while back. This update is hopeful, suggesting there'll be a fair amount of content when it finally leaves Early Access.
