The original Gears of War is what I think Konami should have aimed for a 3D Contra game. The last one is back to its 2D roots and while it play great on Linux, I think it lacks some sauce.

I played the demo and, its okay. It controls like a mouse and keyboard shooter, so with a twin stick joypad it feels a bit off. And if you are looking to scratch a Desert Strike itch, forget it, the controls and overall vibe of the game are not near that one.

I wonder what Windows users excuse to not jump to Linux will be. We even have a big name anti-virus now...

And one more time, don't pre-order anything. The warnings are there for anyone to see.

Quoting: kuhpunktInteresting to see that the devs apparently had so much pull that they talked Ubisoft into releasing it on Steam - with no Uplay Account nonsense being required.

I wonder how long that will last. I will be the least surprised Picachu if it gets out of early-access and suddenly a Ubi account becomes mandatory.

Nice, whishlisted. Just hopping they can get a good game out of a unusual idea. Not all indies trying something different managed to pull it off. I hope this one does.

Quoting: M@GOidThis is why I buy indie games. There is more in gaming than FPS and third view, open world adventure games.

Also a message for Indie developers: can we have other things that are not metroidvanias? There is another genre of games that are in need of new releases.

Well, I'm already doing my part by not making any purchase of anything from the usual suspects in the last decade, like Ubisof and EA. You only encourage them to keep doing despicable things like this, if you keep buying their games. So do not buy them, send this clear message.

Off Topic: hey Liam, are you going to cover the new Contra game? It is already out and have a demo available. I'm curious to see how it works on the Steam Deck, since I found it to be on the heavy side for a side scroller.
