I've had the game for two years now, and it's come a long way in that time. The research and chaos crafting particularly, and I'm only just getting into the lore parts. Jasson's done quite a job with the game, although there are still a few bugs here and there. The windowing thing is bothersome, and I never was able to get the map to completely work.

Over the next couple of weeks, I'm hoping to really get into the full release version, try out the randomized dungeons, fight a boss or three, and so on. Really get my money's worth.

Wait, it's a roguelike? Wow, I passed it over based on the art on the Steam front page, it looks exactly like those Hidden Object games from Artifex Mundi that come up. Have to actually take a look at it now.

So they'll port the sequel to Guardian of Light, but not the game itself? That sucks, since I actually have that game as a leftover from my Windows days, but am left unable to play it without jumping through Wine hoops.

Eh, I tried playing a bit of this back when I used Windows, and found many of the early puzzles very counter-intuitive, and the humour a bit too desperate for my taste. But then, this is the same people who made The Whispered World, which often went way too far in the "Laugh, I beg of you, please!" direction as well. Might give it another try, but I haven't got high hopes.

Quoting: FutureSuture

Quoting: HadBabitsHmm, looks fun, and I do love me some Dark Soulsian action :) Though, something about the protagonist designs seem a bit too cartoony to me? 0.o

Edit: Upon closer inspection it's really just their faces that put me off. Looks almost kind of anime? And despite some character showing some facial stubble they all look 12 o3o

Edit²: Woah, on even closer inspection they've got really weird eyes and no nose 0.0

Edit3.0: OR EARS 8U

I do not know what kind of anime you have been watching, but the faces have been likened to fish. The bit about lacking noses and ears seems to corroborate this.

If you look at trailers for their earlier games, it's clear this is a consistent style for the artist. I thought it was unusual too, but it's not often you see any of the characters in anything close to close-up, so in watching it I found that since it's consistent the style quickly became normalized.

I am a bit put off from the apparent

Spoiler, click me

queer-baiting

in the ending(s), which I read about back when I thought there was no chance I would ever play it. Might be worth playing for the rest of the experience anyhow, I'll have to think about it.

(edited because I don't know how to tag today, apparently.

Now that is a surprise, I recall the dev explaining that due to middleware issues, it wasn't possible to port this one. But they did say they wanted to be more careful with future games to ensure cross-platform releases. Nice that Feral seems to have found a way around the issue.

Quoting: HomepcgamerSome magazines said this game is like a 2D Dark Souls game...

Very interesting

I've watched a lot of this on streams, and it's very much like Dark Souls. The bonfires, the messages from other players, the weapon progression, they're all there in some form. There are some really cool twists on the concept though, and honestly as Dark Souls as it may be, it has its own character. If you want a skill-based 2D fighter/platformer, this is pretty much the ideal.

Is it really relaxing and calm? The trailer looks more frantic and has that fast soundtrack, chill isn't exactly the impression it gives.

Quoting: dmantioneSo Feral is capable of doing business with Bethesda. In that case Spacious Skies = Skyrim ?

I would love to play Skyrim natively on Linux. I played it all the way through using Wine, which worked surprisingly well save for a weird controller issue that happened occasionally.
