This is the first game (that wasn't a tiny indie-title) that I have gone ahead and pre-purchased in...many, many, many years.

I absolutely loved the first game and when Warhorse confirmed that they weren't going with "Denuvo", i simply felt compelled to buy without waiting.

Merry Christmas and Happy Yuletide to everyone (don't let the Wild Hunt catch you):tongue:

I really liked Arcanum as well back in the day. It did so many things right and I would have loved to see a sequel if only Troika had lasted.

This goes on the wishlist for sure but I'll probably wait a bit before buying.

Atom RPG wasn't bad at all and this one looks even more interesting to me, so I'll probably buy it as a Christmas gift for myself. ;) I only wish it was a full release, rather than early access.

I am currently playing "Wizardry: Proving Grounds of the Mad Overlord", which is pretty good but my no.1 crpg for 2024 is almost certain to be "SKALD: Against the Black Priory".

Simply amazing, how such a small production could rival many aaa-level rpgs in storytelling & atmosphere, with addictive gameplay to boot.

Next year..."KCD II" will most likely keep me occupied for February and (hopefully) a bit into March.:grin:

Quoting: chickenb00

Quoting: FeistOnly game I have bought this far is "Wizardry: Proving Grounds of the Mad Overlord" a remake of the classic rpg from 1981.

However, I have my eyes on "Robocop", "Stray", "Drova" and the remake of "Resident Evil 4" as well. Though I feel a bit unsure about the 3 first games and I would like to wait for Denuvo to be removed before buying RE4.:unsure:

I played through Stray on my LCD Deck, it was playable at 30fps up to 40 in some sections. It's also easy to mod and NexusMods has lots of free custom cat models to download (I liked Espeon)

Thanks! It does seem charming, which is what made me a tad hesitant. I have bought a few games this year that I felt was more style/charm over substance. But the price now is comfortable enough that I think I'll go for it.

Robocop is good, though checkpoint system is awful. It could save bit more often, and make it even more clear when that happens. Now I guess best way is to check autosaves timestamp as save doesn't always happen when you think it does. Still, it seems to get tone of the movie about right, which doesn't happen that often.

Stray is sort of platform puzzle exploration experience with some bit frustrating action sequences. Though still, you can take nap and scratch things among other cat like behaviors. There's also some lore you find out if look around. So If you like sci-fi and cats, it's worth trying out.

Never cared for checkpoints either, though I suppose I've gotten used to them over the years. It's likely that these 2 games will be my holiday entertainment. :smile:

I rather liked this game as well.

However, like mentioned above, the loading times were rather long and the gameworld felt a little "barebones" at times. Not quite enough detail & "personality" to the areas or unique items, interesting loot, hidden secrets, entertaining npc:s etc. etc.

All the little things that make a crpg a bit extra rewarding to play. Well, that's what I recall from it anyways.

I played through "Solasta: Crown of the Magister" at around roughly the same time and despite preffering the RTwP gameplay of BG:CoD over the TB gameplay of Solasta, I still enjoyed Solasta quite a bit more.

Quoting: lejimsterI wish they would make a Days Gone 2. Well worth buying especially at that price.

Agreed, this spring I played "Dying Light 2" and after that I decided to start with "Days Gone" since it had been sitting in my backlog for quite a long time.

I didn't have much foreknowledge of it, other than it being another zombie game and involving motorcycles...so I was shocked.

Shocked by just how incredibly much better it was than DL2, it had a more entertaining story, characters that were actually interesting, dialogue that I didn't just want to click past, environments that looked much nicer and just generally more fun gameplay.

In comparison, pretty much the only thing that I found DL2 to have going for it, was the parkour. Without that, Days Gone was just so much better in every way.

Can't believe they haven't made a sequel to this.:sad:

Sweeeeet! :grin:

I was just about to start messing around with a temporary dll-file replacement to adress the loading issue in "Pathfinder: Wrath of the Righteous" but now I can just switch over from the latest GE-proton that I was using.
