It's great, i've had fun with my previous play, and i'm only waiting for the next big thing to start again.

If you understand french, i did a few videos on my channel : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1p6FnDOM5Ec [External Link]

Smith and Winston, the beautiful voxel-based twin stick shooter with a focus on exploration is now on Steam

Thanks for the clarifications.

The game is cute and fun, only unfinished, obviously, and i'm curious to see the "final" result.

Cheers

I tried it a few times, and sure it's cute, but so far it's also very empty, and with almost zero replayability. You have 3 lives, you die, you start from scratch. Because you have to jump a lot from tiny island to small plateform, you may die from falling quite often before you manage to actually success the exploration phase. So, maybe several hours of actual gameplay, but if you count the numerous "learn and retry". Not a bad thing by itself, many games from NES or Sega was like this. But not sure if it will be enough as of today's expectation.

Weird, but why not.

I never really got into this game, even if i love it on paper.

Very curious to see the secret deep "why" Paradox did that.

I played it maybe one year ago ? It was terribly bad. Maybe i should try it again...

TerraTech, the open-world sandbox game has a big 'Better Future' update with new blocks for your vehicles

I played it to the end when they added the black military blocks, really enjoyed it, minus the constant fighting against stupid AI spawning a few meters from your position, and worst, your base, forcing you to always have to defeat unmemorable enemies.

Also in these games, the "best" is often to do an uncreative vehicle, pyramid shaped mounted with lots of guns.

I'd like more depth and balance between game doing building, games doing base building, game doing build to fight, etc.

The one i keep on my radar is Trailmakers, Windows only so far, and quite bugged (i tried it 2 hours via Proton before refund), but with a large open world to explore with challenge, mega jump, stuff to collect, blocks to find, etc.

Futuristic FPS Interstellar Marines is still alive with Update 28 to feature a new enemy

New record since i (re)play the game (Q4 2018) : 12 players online. I even got shot by another real player, not a bot. That's something, right ?

I've played before, but my account was reset i don't knw why.

So, now heading to rank 40 (out of 100), with about 7-8 hours of gameplay.

I'm having a lot of fun, even if mainly solo but from time to time i meet a lost player to play with, coop in Wargame.

Also, challenges are... challenging. Or i'm bad.

I've missed playing a slow paced FPS, most of them nowadays are for clickers.

Ashes of the Singularity: Escalation inches closer to a Linux release with Vulkan

Quoting: TcheySo, alright, i'm keeping it i guess.
Actually, the perf are not so good. It runs well with everything on Low, but that's it.
Also, sounds are sometimes glitchy.

But worst, i don't really enjoy it, and i find SupComFA way more superior.

So, still no decent RTS for me, but (excellentissimic) oldy SupComFA perfectly fine via Proton.

Hey, my refund was not confirmed for some reason, so when i saw "Install" instead of "Purchase" on Steam, i tried again.

Reinstall the game, and PROTON_NO_ESYNC as a Steam option.

And...

It works ! Very well.

So, alright, i'm keeping it i guess.
