I definitely was running for my absolute life, you’re not wrong.


Ahhh thank you. That did it :))


I played maybe five hours of 3 and maybe it was because I was older than for the previous two, but the sunny “we’re friends and everything is so positive and love and sunshine” was really really grating. It felt like it was way more excessive than the first two, but, again, could be the ages I played them at.

Otherwise it played… Okay? The Disney things were stupid. It felt pretty blah otherwise. Nothing remarkable.


Help on Animal Well?
I wasn't sure where else to really ask, so I guess let me know if this is a no go here. But hey, I'm playing through Animal Well and I am stuck. I don't want to look up guides or any spoilers, but I was hoping for a hint maybe. Spoilers ahead for those who haven't played. ::: spoiler spoiler I have gotten 3 totems lit and all I need now is the wolf one, but I don't know how to get into the room with the last flame. There is a room that needs a circular disc, but I can't use the frisbee or anything else I have right now. I also have 8/9 candles lit based on the spawn area grid? I'm missing the center one, but I also don't have a match right now, nor do I know where that candle is. ::: So, uh, hopefully that's enough info. Any hints without being too direct?

I think that might be part of it. For a lot of people, it was that the formula was old and tired. I know Odyssey did fairly well, but it’s still just an AC game


This game will forever live in my heart as an absolute masterpiece. I cry every time I play it because something about it just completely sucks me in.


What kind of overalls does Mario wear?

Denim denim denim🎵


SOMA is right there on the laptop.

Absolutely excellent game.


I’ve been playing Planet Crafter quite a bit. It gives me the same vibes Subnautica did, just without any scary monsters. Love it to pieces


Can you elaborate? I wasn’t aware of this.


I overstimulated myself. That was… That was a lot



I’m not sure how small is small, but Splattercat Gaming is fun. It’s not the place to go for series unfortunately, though I wish he’d get back into them.

But Splat has a lot of interesting life experiences and he’s fun to listen to.



I actually think it might be slower based on the processing power. There’s a trick on the Switch (one, I guess), where you have to pause and play a few times while looking at areas that take longer to process and it somehow accelerates your flying on the glider like crazy.

Also I think one of the new tricks is wiggling yourself with a shield drawn on frame perfect side to sides, so it might make that harder if the frame rate goes up?

But I have really only a basic idea of these things.


Already mentioned.

  • Slime Rancher
  • Fields of Mistria
  • A Short Hike

Not yet mentioned (at least that I saw)

  • Potionomics

    • A game where you play Silvia, a potion crafter who has taken over her uncle’s shop on an island full of adventurers. You get to meet many kinds of people, both adventurers and not, and have a chance at romancing pretty much all of them (at once, if you select the polyamory mode). The art style is adorable (please physically release the cards, devs) and the voice acting is so well done.
  • Monster Prom

    • Strictly a slice of life / dating sim about trying to get a date for prom. The cast of characters are very cute, as is the art style. It’s also multiplayer if you’re into that.
  • Emily is Away

    • I believe this one is free. It’s a nostalgia blast for those of us who grew up with instant messaging like MSN or AIM. It’s been a while since I played, but I remember it being cute and very interesting.

I second Fields of Mistria. It’s just better than Stardew Valley in my opinion, in almost every way.


Happy feelings, maybe.

Cry your heart out, absolutely.


I played the whole game through with multiplayer between me and my partner. It might be better now, but at the time, all of the danger squids were completely inert, so it made it much easier to get deeper and progress further without fear.

Otherwise, it was a total blast and a great time. Excellent game.


I’m on Mint and have been for 2-3 years now and I’ve never had any problems with non-valve multiplayer. I don’t use any VMs and just run everything through proton and have never struggled.

Battlebit, Helldivers, Lethal Company (+mods), Risk of Rain 2, Rocket League, Minecraft, and Split Fiction to name a few. I guarantee there are others I’ve played, but I can’t remember.


Honestly even in Kingdom Hearts 1, there was an L1 menu for spells behind the other menus.

As a FFXIV controller player as well, it’s really not that bad.



I’m leaving a note here to come back and check when not on mobile, unfortunately just doesn’t work.


I agree with the other reply. But as a fair warning, I’m not someone who really got sucked into Stardew. That being said, I think Mistria is much better. The characters are all fantastic and fun, the magic system is nice, and I love the museum / collections like Animal Crossing.

I haven’t played this update yet, but I’ve really enjoyed the time that I have sunk into the game.


It’s not a car racing game, but SSX 3 had such a great soundtrack. It’s hard to find nowadays.


I played the demo and gosh this is a difficult game. Good fun though



Tagging onto this. Has anyone tried to play Glover recently? That used to be one of my favorites as a kid and I keep thinking about emulating it.


I’m so glad Tiny Glade is getting some attention and is even on this list at all. That’s amazing.


The Spell Brigade. It’s unfortunately early access, but it’s an up-to-4 player co-op Survivors-type game. I love Vampire Survivors so of course I wanna play co-op. I’ve been having a bunch of fun with it, both with friends and without.


I also wanted to mention Fields of Mistria. I don’t really like Stardew Valley very much, but this one is really pulling me in for whatever reason. It’s still early access, but it’s got a bunch of QoL improvements from Stardew and the characters are really fun.


Just picked up a game called Hellcard that is basically co-op Slay the Spire. It’s a lot of fun and the look of the game is really unique, I think. I really love StS so being able to co-op basically the same thing is a ton of fun.


spoiler

Gosh this one makes me cry every time




Nice! Thanks for the depth. I think with the level adjustments especially, it sounds like I would enjoy it. Thanks!


For someone who doesn’t like the typical pokemon grind, would you recommend this one?


I’m not sure how old old is, but SOMA is always such a delight to play through.

Another somewhat older game is Duskers where you control drones one empty human ships, trying to find out where humans went.



I’ve had it for a while but finally it dug it’s claws in - Tunic!

Apparently this is a devisive little game. I absolutely adore it and think the combat difficulty is just about perfect while the puzzle solving and the exploration is masterclass levels of design. The show, don’t tell approach is used so perfectly here. Ah I love it
