I have to admit that Noita has ruined me for just about every "create your own spells" game. I'm still playing it now, after well over 800 hours.

Obviously a very different style of game, this though.

Very different style of game, but the Guild of Dungeoneering (https://store.steampowered.com/app/317820/Guild_of_Dungeoneering_Ultimate_Edition/ [External Link]) has a similar mechanic of laying tiles to create your dungeon.

I'll probably end up giving this a go, but I agree, any mechanic that can so easily cut you off from completing a level is flawed and unsatisfactory.

Ring of Pain was superb. These Devs seem to have a theme going on with their titles though!

@Strapinski, just what a I read on Reddit. Lots of bans without any reason given, something about Cuba being banned after selling there for years, 34 1-star reviews on Truspilot (out of 35 total), it all paints a picture of a fairly toxic support process.

I suspect a lot of the negativity is really related to Funcom being bought by the Chinese, when Tencent stepped in.

Didn't realise this was Funcom, one of the more controversial publisher's out there. Their moderators are... concerning. Some of the Conan stories I've heard are really worrying.

I mean, it's Dune, so I might take a chance on this? But not until a few months in and reviews are settled, I think.

Monster Train 2! Hell yes (literally)! I'm on holiday right now, but will be picking this up the moment I'm back!

The new, updated Illuminate faction is superb, but it's the weapon progression that re-ignited my love of this game. 350 hours now.

One of the greatest co-op games of all time, I think.

Was Ludo that game that had a dice trapped inside a clear plastic dome, and you pressed the dome down to "click" the base, causing the dice to roll? Very cool mechanic, but I don't think I actually ever played it!

Edit: So, no. Looks like I was thinking of a game called "Trouble", and the dice thing was called a "Pop-O-Matic"!

Other than troubleshooting an issue directly related to the overlay, I can't think of a reason to disable the overlay? Why are so many folk doing so??

We really have come a long way from the Microsoft of old.

I'm going to have to disagree. Microsoft open sourcing anything is like a serial killer stabbing you 10 times then offering a sticky bandage.

They'll never change. None of the billionaire-owned mega-corps will.
