  • An unsettling horror experience driven by an intense narrative with captivating visuals based on the works of reputed dark artist Tomasz Strzałkowski (Duality Games Art director and founder)..

  • A unique gameplay blend that combines meticulous exploration, intriguing puzzle solving, infiltration and stealth with innovative shooting dynamics.

  • A versatile unique weapon. Use four different emotions: anger, fear, sadness and desire to interact with the environment (destroy obstacles, trigger mechanisms, overload circuits, illuminate your way) or to confuse, lure or damage your opponents.

  • Masks! Everybody in the unholy world hides behind a mask and it can be the difference between life or death. Build your own mask to get new skills and improve your abilities or wear other masks to infiltrate, confuse your enemies and impersonate your opponents.

When one Trail ends (Pathfinder) another begins (Trails into Reverie).

Gonna be good month. Still plugging away at D4 here and there too. And BG3 is now closer than ever.

2023 is a banner year for RPGs already and it's only getting more crowded. Might rival 1998 at this rate.

New thread smell! Thank you Mor!


So apparently Rockstar Just updated most of the RDR1 achievements images in the Rockstar Social Club (is the social club a thing on consoles?). They added some HD versions of the achievements and some of them were even redesigned. People, it's coming...

If they are just updating achievement art like that then it has to be a straight uprezzed port of the PS360 game right?

Hopefully its a good port and Steam release isn't too far off. A year wait is gonna suck but there is so much releasing this fall there is no fucking time to play all these games :anguished-face:

Trails into Reverie for me this month! Will be nice to get an epilogue to the first two arcs of the series.
Answering your question from the previous thread:
Does Reverie auto-detect my CS IV save on the Steam Deck, or is it safer to launch a new game on Windows first? If I recall, there were some issues with this for Azure.
Reverie correctly detects your saves from Zero, Ao, CS III and CS IV on the Steam Deck, by employing only the finest of really wonky WINE prefix hacking workarounds because there's no good API to do it from Valve.
The only prerequisite that we really cannot get around due to how Steam works is that the games need to be installed on the Deck.

Summer sales haul so far:

  • Triangle Strategy
  • Nier Replicant
  • Danganronpa Another Episode: Ultra Despair Girls

Quote from last thread:
I only plan to buy games that I will play during the next three months.

Will I stick to the plan though? That's another question. :face-with-stuck-out-tongue-and-winking-eye:
Bye plan.

Those franchise bundles are like a loophole in the system. I don't know if everyone knows this but if you have multiple games in a franchise and you're only missing one game if you buy the bundle (with just that one game that you're missing) the game is cheaper than buying it by itself. I was able to buy Yakuza 4, 5, and 6 all 3 for 15$ because I already owned the rest of the collection. I'm finessing the system lol.

Thanks for the write up about the DLC, really appreciate it.

It actually sounds a lot like Endless Legend but without the ambition to compensate.
It's absolutely Endless Legend without the heart. You can instantly recognize the city building and resource stuff from it, smashed together with Civ paint, but with all the uniqueless of the Endless games removed. I really loved the premise of building your own Civ as you go but it's so watered down it hurts. Honestly I wish they'd made it not have multiplayer because I think they would have been way more open to craziness then.

I will eventually give it another shot but I read the patch notes every time and so far there really hasn't been any improvements to the foundation that is barely there.

Here's my hope that it's a good remaster and that it releases on Steam at some point.

A lot of notable releases this month, but not that much insta buy. I will keep an eye on Jagged Alliance 3 despite the conflicted previews, and if Double Dragon Gaiden is as solid as SoR 4 or TMNT, it‘s a lock.

edit. Just read the blurb, it’s rogue-lite. I’m not a hater but that’s just not what I’m looking for.

Cheers for the new thread Mor .

looks a good month. Definately Oxenfree II for me. Ratchet depending on performance at launch. Although that may just go onto a sale instead.

then there are the likes of Atelier andTrails. I really need to pull my finger out and catch up on (or actually play may be more accurate) all the previous games I have in the series.
