The Deponia games are prime examples of great puzzle design in modern games, though I'm not too fond of the stories. The end felt a whole lot more satisfying than that of The Whispered World though. Will definitely give The Dark Eye games a shot when they're ported to Linux.

I didn't realize Munin was published by Daedalic until you pointed it out. I picked that one up in a sale because I thought it looked like a fairly interesting puzzle platformer. I only played a bit of it and found it a bit tedious, but I'll probably give it another shot once I've cleared some more games off my backlog.

Arcen Games has put up a new blog post elaborating on the no units concept since a lot of people took that to mean that the game won't have combat.

We got a mention in the latest update from Weather Zen. :)

EDIT: Crossing Souls looks pretty neat too.

Good suggestions, DrMcCoy. :) We talked about covering That Dragon, Cancer for this instalment but decided to postpone it since it has three weeks left and is definitely going to make it.

Quoting: JuliusThis one seems cool too and has reached their rather unambitious goal several time over already:

I was going to say we covered that one in TFC #38, but yeah, it never actually made it off the drawing board.

EDIT: I suck at editing my own comments. Sorry about the double post.

Quoting: tmtvlI doubt Weather Monk's gonna make its target. It's kinda unfortunate, but that's life.

It doesn't look too good for Override either at the moment, but there have been some amazing turnarounds on Kickstarter lately, so I'm hopeful.

Oh, and it's Weather Zen. :P

I thought the game was a ton of fun so I'm looking forward to this.

Quote- Five different classes: Warrior, Rouge, Magician, Hunter and Microwave

I hope that's not a typo. ;)

Quoting: titiLooking at the video this looks a lot like teeworlds . Is it very different?

I haven't played Teeworlds, but there's no platforming or rope swinging mechanic in Square Heroes. You instead just steer your player character in whatever direction you want to go, since you have a jetpack that compensates for any force of gravity pulling on your character. Teeworlds also looks crazy fast-paced, judging by the video on their site.

Quoting: liamdaweYou read my mind flesk, it's been sitting in my notes to eventually cover :D

Yeah, beat you to it. :P

It's of course impossible to compare hours played to the worth of a game, as it also depends on how much you enjoyed the time you put into a game. I however got 12 hours of game time out of a game I paid 13.49€ for and for me that's definitely worth it. If I were to compare that to Borderlands 2, which I paid 16.50€ for and only played for half an hour, SWtG definitely isn't the overpriced one in my book. ;)
