Just finished the Kickstarter Beta of the System Shock remake. All in all, well worth the wait, will write a bit more tomorrow.
Bayonetta Origins: Cereza and the Lost Demon full game it's been already dumped
Works fine on yuzu, I tried on windows but it works on Steam Deck too.

"I sweat it wasn't me, it was my hands, they just took control"
I’m 60-odd hours in and it’s my GOTY so far. Best £50 I’ve spent on a game in years.
yup, same hereTbh il probably buy it. It looks decent
hahaMore Survivors games in different flavors
i can vouch for this one - it's great!
I have forgotten at least 2 times (that I remember) this came outYou don't need more games
also month later already 25% off XD
OP
I didn't play it long enough to form a conclusive opinion - controller broke so had to stop the game because I ain't playing that on KBM lmao - but what I played felt very much like a B-tier PS2 era RPG.
Whether that's a good or a bad thing is up to you. Personally I'm always down for that sort of well-meaning jank.
Just mentioning that this is basically(Well not basically, it literally is) just a stand alone version of the DLC from Borderlands 2 that they decided to charge money for but yeah it's free now temporarily so you might of already played through it years ago and forgot
I know it literally says that in the description but it got shit out as a buggy mess and it's kind of garbage in its standalone form but the borderlands 2 version runs on like a toaster at this point
New Persona 5 spinoff announced. It's a Chinese only gacha.
Edit:
Iwai actually shows up.

Exoprimal is pretty fun, it would do great if it was a $40 game.
Very conflicted about P5 gacha, the level of asset reuse is off the charts. At least the last Persona, or was it a SMT, gacha was not a reskin.
Just the one game for me this sale. With Humble Heroines and maybe Humble Choice if I don't get a BIomutant trade, plus RE4. That's a lot of spending this month for games (for my budget, at least).
Turbo Overkill should released this May with a price increase. With Valve's new region pricing, I figured it might be a good time to get it now before they "adjust" it.

Steam deck is finally going to be sold at select retail stores. How ever it's currently only for Hong Kong and Taiwan. They will be sold at Acer stores. They plan to eventually sell them at retails store in Japan and Korea as well.
This will be among one of the best time for people in those regions to pick one up since those ones are also 10% off as well. So I'm guessing that for Hong Kong and Taiwan, that Komodo has been having issues trying to sell the Steam Deck there especially because of other UMPCs that they have in that area. There for they are willing to give up some of their percentage in sales in order to sell at retail .
Not a terrible idea.

Managed to get that Pathfinder WotR before the 91% off on the enhanced edition deal was fixed. Nice.
Be ruthless when pruning the wishlist. Just go through every game and ask yourself if you're really going to
I personally cut my wishlist down to about 80 titles out of which roughly 60 are unreleased games. I suspect I'll only buy a fraction of those unreleased games given how regional pricing goes these days. Also I think the wishlist is only really good for things you'd otherwise completely forget about if it wasn't on it. If you keep up with this forum or reddit or gaming news in general it's unlikely you'll not hear about a good deal on notable/bigger games. And those are often outside Steam anyway so it's not like you'll get an email reminding you about it.

I asked and both devs said they will add Controller support and Achievements
All aboard the hype train.
Community - Steam Seasonal Sale (SSS) | Recommendations and Hidden gems
There haven't been any thread for recommendations and hidden gems in like two(!) whole years. Last one was created for Summer sale 2020. So I thought creating one for the current and future Seasonal Steam Sales (SSS). Post all your recommendations and hidden gems Historical lowest price...

Still not as good as Factorio
All aboard the hype train.
I'm not sure what to buy on the steam sale.
the good thing about just playing Indie games is most of them are not too expensive so i dont have to buy them just cause they are on sale
that said i will probably buy a few near the end of the sale like i usually do regardless

Feels good to be fully free from Apple's clutches.
the only good thing about apple is their hardware keep value for a long time. hench the deep discount i got from trading in my old apple phone/watch/tablet

I remember someone wondering if the "SNEG" games would appear on GOG:
System Shock 2 is one my favorite games of all times. I even remember how I got it: I was visiting a friend in Liverpool (which was my first trip to the UK) in late 1999 and I brought back Shock 2 (and a bunch of other PC games because game prices back then were much cheaper in the UK and I was a poor student).
After falling in love with Shock 2 (and Deus Ex a bit later) I went back to try older „Immersive Sims“ (this genre name did not exist back then though), but I bounced hard off Ultima Underworld and while I got pretty far into the original System Shock, I never actually finished it. Early 90s 3D games looked and played vastly different than games released just a few years later. I really got into gaming around the time of Quake, so my arrogant teenage self discarded those „outdated“ control schemes and looks of earlier games: „Not worth my time!“
So I went into the Kickstarter beta of the System Shock 1 remake without much nostalgia. I did not remember much of my first playthrough at all.
Nightdive has no NDA for the backer beta, they just asked not to stream the game in its current state. Folks who played the latest Steam Nextfest demo know what to expect: that demo contained the whole first level and the rest of the remake is pretty much in the same vein.
It is always hard for me to distinguish between „Remaster“ and „Remake“. Remasters make the original run on current platforms, maybe up the rendering resolution and have better textures, but don’t change the game itself (like Nightdive’s regular releases, e.g. Shadowman or Forsaken). In Remakes like the recent Dead Space the devs pretty much remade the entire game, and besides new graphics they changed level structure and the gameplay/flow of the original.
Nightdive’s System Shock is somewhere in between a remaster and a remake. It runs on Unreal Engine 4, looks like a modern game (with retro aethestics) and controls like a modern Immersive Sim (e.g. a mouse controlled inventory to play Tetris). But the game world itself is straight out of those dreaded early 90s: the layout of all levels of Citadel Station is nearly 1:1 mapped from the Original - which I am sure will be dividing for the game’s receiption. Many empty rooms just exist because they were there in the Original, which made me feel playing a remaster rather than a remake. But if that was Nightdive's intention all along (the Kickstarter campaign was so long ago), then they were successful.
A few other nitpicks: the map looks busy and is hard to read (reminded me of Doom). There is no handholding, no quests on screen, no arrows to tell „go here next“. Because levels and objectives are straight out of Shock 1, I had moments where 20+ year old Gamefaqs posts helped me figure out where to go next. It was a bizarre experience at times. You could take a walkthrough for the old game and use it for the new one.
New Immersive Sims got rare in the last few years, so enjoyed my 22 hours even with all the caveats mentioned. The weapons feel different, ammo is scarce enough, upgrades are meaningfull. It is fun to explore Citadel Station. Btw: was this the first game to introduce Audio Logs?
Oh, and Shodan still rocks. She is scarier than in Shock 2, but also is so funny when sulking because you did something she did not want you to do. Great voice recast (not sure of this one)?
One more thing about the beta state of System Shock: I had no crashes and encountered graphicals glitches maybe twice. And I fell through an elevator once. Nothing major, but Nightdive still pushed the release back two months to May 30th.
Resident Evil 4 demo now has a bulging sack of mods
