I played the demo and found it very interesting. I think it is on my wishlist.

Did they forgot about the extra buttons option in the control settings? It was put there but it never worked.

I liked the first one, it sure helped to commercially elevate indie games to where they are now. But the difficulty on the latter stages was above my pay grade, unfortunately. I hope they can balance it better this time, with the option for different difficulty levels to be more accessible to more people.

The figures look a lot like legos, except for the square head. Lets hope it is not enough to excite Lego lawyers.

It is stuff like this that would make me wary of even buying assets for my commercial game, if I was doing one. If even your own employees can put unlicensed assets/code in your game because of laziness, imagine the stuff that is out there for you to buy/license? What warranty you have it is not stolen stuff from others and put for sale to make a quick buck?

And of course, artists who do honest work making their own material end up penalized by cases like this.

Nice. This is the kind of stuff I expect of indies, to risk something new or different to stand out in the crowd, instead of doing everything by the book because you want to avoid risk on your boring 100 million game project.

Gears of War: Reloaded is officially Steam Deck Verified and SteamOS Compatible

For me, Gears of War was what the 3D versions of Contra should have been. The setting is very similar, and it would be similar to what Nintendo achieved in the transition from 2d to 3d in the Mario games. Instead, what we got as a series of uninspired games that were a stain in the Contra franchise.

I hope they release a demo, because there is no way I'm buying this at launch.

One wishes someday GOG will be able to sell No One Lives Forever 1 & 2. Some years ago they tried and the shareholders were too lazy to even respond to their proposal.

Nostalgic helicopter shooter Cleared Hot has funny physics and a demo worthy of your time

I liked it too, better than Megacopter, another Desert Strike inspired game. Plays nice, although it does feel something that was originally build around mouse and keyboard controls, with gamepads as a afterthought.
