Good guy Kalypso!

I only have a handful of their games, but I'm keeping my eye on Spacebase Startopia!

Quoting: fagnerln

Quoting: scaineI had a lot of fun with this. Great atmosphere and just the right level of "difficult, but do-able". Unlike when I played Dark Souls 3 and absolutely hated how unforgiving it is. Some of Hellpoints fights are hard, sure, but nothing like as bad as that.

I actually finished this and enjoyed most of my 35 hours doing so.

I don't think that DS3 is unforgiving, is the most fair in the series IMO. Even the fantastic Nameless King.

DS2 is bad, cheap encounters, a lot of awkward traps.

The knights in DS3 don't observe stamina, so they just spam constant huge attacks. I hate it when games lay out mechanics, then just plain ignores it for enemies. I love Advance Wars, but it still pisses me off when enemy artillery ignores fog of war... but my artillery don't.

So, I went off DS3 pretty quickly.

The final fight the with final 'True' bosses can be brutal.

If you mean the gods, then I skipped one of them, but of the two I fought, one was pretty straightforward, the other I couldn't beat because he did too much radiation damage... but then I came back in a space suit and it was a total breeze!

I think the game lets you potentially massively "underbalance" your stats. I was a heavy armour guy, so I had taken many, many points in Load... something you just wouldn't do if you wore light armour. But if you try to fight the radiation god without that space suit, I genuinely wonder how you could survive. But without tonnes of points in Load, if you wear the space suit, you basically can't move.

Other than that minor piece of potentially unbalanced gameplay, it's great though. I love the potential customisations. And some of the weapons are just so satisfying (although again, you'll tend to specialise massively around just one of them, sadly).

Aw yeah. Really looking forward to this. It's been a long time coming.

Can't wait for this. The dev is very active and funny on Twitter : https://twitter.com/talecrafter?lang=en [External Link] and the game just looks like great fun. And now it's getting a demo? Sign me up!!

Quoting: slaapliedjeAnyone try Subnautica? I haven't yet, but was talking to a co-worker who said the game was amazing, but he doesn't have a VR setup, so hasn't tried it yet there either. Sounds like one where you'd want to put some plastic down on your seat and have a pair of fresh underwear nearby, as you may thoroughly wet yourself.

Reapers genuinely nearly gave me a heart attack in 2D, so... hard no from me! Some of the cave spaces are quite claustrophobic too. I'm not sure playing it in VR would be actually enjoyable!!

I've never experienced input lag in games apart from that one weird Proton release that introduced it after about 20 minutes of gameplay. I just used Proton-GE builds until they fixed that.

I wonder if this is specific to gamepads, which I rarely use? Yeah, it's all a bit vague. Not sure how to help... and I don't have a github account anymore anyway, so I'm probably not much use even if I knew what to look out for! :grin:

Has there been any indication as to what we should look out for? It seems a bit vague on detail!

Quoting: armandhaaI would like to have the key, please.

You'll probably need to hit the forum post to request that, armandhaa. The link is in the article.
