I haven’t made a new thread weekly exactly, but with the amount of activity it might need to be fortnightly, here’s another recommendations thread.
Let everyone know below a game (6+ months old), that you have played recently, are currently playing or intend to play soon.
A gaming community free from the hype and oversaturation of current releases, catering to gamers who wait at least 12 months after release to play a game. Whether it’s price, waiting for bugs/issues to be patched, DLC to be released, don’t meet the system requirements, or just haven’t had the time to keep up with the latest releases.

Played and completed Return of the Obra Dinn a couple of weeks ago. It’s a walking logic puzzle wrapped in a very distinct art style. I have to say despite my worries on the style causing motion sickness, that never happened. It’s a really well-done game. It rarely goes on sale too!
I felt so proud when I finished that whole game without any hints. I was close to giving up a few times, but I’m so glad I kept pushing. It was so absolutely satisfying to walk off the boat knowing I’d done it all myself.
Won’t lie, towards the end when a lot of the identities were crossed off I started guessing and made random checks to see what worked. xD
I tried this a couple of years ago, The story seems intriguing but after hours and hours playing I feel like I’m not really good at this and my eyes are tired with the monochrome pixel style. I mean I can play Game Boy games for hours but honestly to use the same visual style in a genre where you need to read a lot and to look at things really hard, it’s really tiring.
Sorry to hear, I do think it’s not for everyone. I’m just glad I didn’t have an issue in the end and got to enjoy the game for what it is, which luckily is something (logic puzzles) that I do enjoy normally.
