It's still possible to come across a cool looking game in a genre you like, that you have never noticed before on Steam (probably because users tagged it with Top-Down Shooter, instead of Shoot 'Em Up):
Like that tweet mentions, the game received an English patch last month.
Also, since the developer's website has been taken down (and a planned port cancelled), this is one of those games I wouldn't be surprised to see gone from the store page one of these days, so if you are interested in it, do consider buying it soon.

And, here's another cool looking game I found on itch.io, that features dungeons generated from one's files:
---
The developer of the above game has another title with a similar concept (content generated from one's files) already available on Steam (and itch.io):
nhydock.itch.io

yeah, i suppose that would work as well

omg, you're alive!
Giana Sisters TD looks nice with SSGSS AA, but the way it is 'zoomed out' makes some hazards hard to navigate around during platforming but it's otherwise a decent platformer so far.

I'm a bit behind on playing the "Tales of" series. 
For those familiar with the series, may I ask:
-the 4 games available on Steam (Symphonia, Vesperia, Zesteria, Berseria) are unrelated, I mean none is a sequel of the other, right?
-should I start with Symphonia, the oldest entry, or Vesperia (I'm familiar with it, since I played the Xbox 360 demo)?
Additionally, a DLC question, so I can buy the DLCs I'm missing in the next Steam sale:
Regarding Tales of Zesteria:
-at the time I pre-ordered the game (it was one of those tiered pre-orders, that granted several bonuses, like a free copy of Symphonia); I see on the store that there's a "pre-order items" DLC, that I'm listed as not owning (despite pre-ordering the game), but that's the same thing as the 3 DLCs I do own (Tales of Characters Costume Set (Female), Tales of Characters Costume Set (Male), and Tales of Weapons), right? There's nothing extra on that DLC, that I don't own already, right? I hate when publishers make things unnecessarily confusing. If it's the same content, why not do it in a way it shows up by owners of this content?
-what about the "Adventure Items" DLC, is it all "cheats" and early unlocks, or is there any content that is otherwise unavailable in the game?
Regarding Tales of Berseria:
-I only own the free DLCs, and the Tales of Legacy Bundle DLC; of the others, do I "need" all of them (as in, do all provide content unavailable otherwise), or is any of the DLCs just early unlocks or "cheats"?
thank you

I'm still pretty early but I"ve been enjoying F76. The trick is to not think about it as Fallout 5 but as a slice of a full modern Fallout, with survival mechanics. The thirst/hunger definitely has me looting everything. I'm usually not great at laying out a camp, but I'm stocking so much junk that I think I'm going to try when I find a cool spot.
For now, it's a convenient fast travel with useful stash, workbenches, and a place to sleep (in the open air.)

Generally all games are unrelated save for minor nods and such, as far as I remember sequels actually have the same name and a number so they are easy to recognize.
I always like to go with release order so I would start with Symphonia
Berseria is technically a prequel of Zestiria (but it came out after Zestiria).I'm a bit behind on playing the "Tales of" series.

The Adventure Items stuff is just cheats yeah.
The costume/accessory DLCs are all new ones that are not in the game itself as far as I know.

Clickbait ftw! I just wanted to write a bit about how in the first DLC (which is basically a 2nd Supraland game) you will see what I (now we) learned since the first game and where we increased the production value. You cannot compare both games directly, because their general structure is...

Cats know stuff.
Cats know the secret windows keys that fuck up each of your activities.
Cats are also assholes that love to use this knowledge [UWSL]
I also finally understood the reason for all those insanely annoying in-game confirmation boxes.

Cat push my finger on the mouse
Mouse was on exit game

In my second "I'm behind playing "x" series" post of the day ( ), I'm way behind playing the latest Frontier Developments games.
Despite pre-ordering both Jurassic World Evolution, and Planet Zoo, I'm... yet to even start them.
I know, I know, why buy the newest game, if I haven't started the previous one?
Every time I want to start playing one, a new DLC/expansion is out, and I'm like "I'll wait until I buy it during a sale, and I'll start then".
Yeah, that has worked great so far.
Which of the two is the more "relaxing" and accessible title?
My patience has been a bit low for tackling games where I have to think a lot, so I'm wondering which of the two would be a more accessible start?
Based on the theme, I would prefer to play Planet Zoo.
thanks

My camp is still stationed near the Wayward, by the river (it's important for the purified water pump). It's a nice & peaceful spot with all the trees, while I can also regularly check out Duchees' stores for outfits and stuff easily from the camp.
Edit: After 40+ hours, I just posted a review (more like positive rambling, tbh).
Steam Community :: texhnolyze :: Review for Fallout 76
So, Fallout 76.. It's clear that this is not a Fallout game that fans expected and wanted. With how badly received the game was at launch, it's only reasonable if people would rather stay away from this game. But hear me out. I never played the vanilla game, but it seems that the game is finally...

people will always find reasons to complain. You know that there would be some that say that it's not worth $5USD for a 2 hours long game or what ever
I guess this might be a spoiler (I haven't played the game myself yet but this was cool)
Welp I can't find it now but it was a tweet where the chibis from the game were dancing to this song
Oh and It took a while but the Japanese site that I go to finally has an article about the game and it is an interview with the person that did the fan translation, it would seem that they are a pro translator but that they ended up doing this game for free since the dev was not charging people money and because they liked the game as well and wanted others in Japan to try the game as well. I think it took them like 6 hours in order to translate the game.
So shortly after the game released they contacted the dev about possibly doing a fan translation for the game and then on May 15/16 is when the dev updated the game so it would be easier for people to do fan translations since it seemed that there were multiple people that wanted to do that. It also happened to be around that time that the game got a big boost in popularity

Having recently realized that several games I played, or that I'm looking forward to, where developed in my home country, Portugal (Those Who Remain, out next week, is another example), and also after searching, and failing to find much information on the games currently being made here (since sadly, it seems there's not much interest by the local press in the development efforts of these teams, so even living here, it's very hard to find any information about them), I started a thread to "catalogue", and hopefully also to showcase, some of the games being made in Portugal:

If anyone knows any games missing from that list, please let me know, so I can add them.
For example, Tizoc, I seem to remember a game I bought (and I believe you did too) a few months, or a year ago, that was a small, and cheap, point and click game, directed to a younger audience, that kind of had a post-apocalyptic theme, and that was based around the concept of saving water.
I remember realizing the game was made in Portugal, and having some EU financing, but I'm not remembering the game.
Do you remember the name of the game?

It's mechanically competent and the visuals are pretty nice for a last-gen 2.5D game (especially the real-time world morphing effect, which is still impressive), but the gameplay is quite bland, like a generic 16-bit platformer. Didn't get very far.
Well, Helltaker was a fun little distraction. Easy, basically free game for my 52 games list this year!
Finished Chimera Squad. Pretty good for such a cheap game.
You guys remember "there came an echo"?
The dev gave away thousands of copies on gaf when the game launched.
Sometimes I remember that and wonder how that worked out for him. I've never seen anyone mention that game again.
I dropped the game after about 30 minutes, not because it was bad but because I had too much on my plate.
I'd like to say that I'll give it another go but who am I kidding, I don't have time.

i would say for "relax" and accessibility you are absolutely fine with either of them , there is barely any challeneg in them .Which of the two is the more "relaxing" and accessible title?

But it you want soemthing more creative go for Zoo,, if soemething simpler fo Jurassic
According to their twitter they are still active and looking for artists etc.
... and yeah, i need to check but i think i actually bought There Came An Echo... dunno what it's like. Yet.
Well, he was on Wipeout and voiced the best character of Dangan Ronpa 1/2, so there's that.
I remember never getting the game to work well with the audio commands. Lost my interest quite quickly after that. Game itself didn't feel very fun outside of that gimmick.

I have it from god knows where, but not played it.
I did really like Before the Echo though.
That's fair criticism and I would agree about the last part. I made it to the final world but it's a bit lengthy so I'll do 2 sessions to finish it.

Have started DMC4 Special Edition recently, and I gotta vent a bit.
Now, I really liked the first two missions of this game. It feels like someone brought DMC3 over to 7th gen consoles, with the same cut scenes, the text telling you what to do, etc. and it's just great. The animations look a lot better, with things like proper high quality motion blur and the first boss fight (the real one, not the sparring with Dante) was superb. Then I start Mission 3, and there's a silly platforming section, which literally blocks mission progress. You need to use Nero's grapple to get around this church, and if you fail, you get to fight the same trash mob, again and again, and again. I have no idea what I actually need to do, but moreover, why the hell is this even a showblocker in a DMC game? DMC1 had things like this, where you could save time by managing the platforming stuff, or simply fight your way through once if you couldn't . The game didn't force my to do some annoying platforming.
This is literally the dumbest thing I've experience so far in this franchise.
