Dark Cloud, Up to the final area on the moon

&

Hedon Bloodrite

Nuclear Throne.

Fun game but I don't really have the right setup for it, lacking a computer desk because I'm all in on laptops and wanted to free up space.

Bangai-O Missile Fury.

Delisted this year, and never made backwards compatible. Another one bites the dust.

Psychonauts 2
Immortals Fenix Rising
Quake Remastered
Automechef

Nioh complete edition.

Reminds me of Dark Souls.

Nioh had many of the things I love in a Dark Souls clone, but it failed to capture my interest the way I thought it would.

It has a few kick ass songs though. 👆

I'm liking it so far. Remains to be seen if I can maintain even a 30 frame on lowest settings, but here's hoping.

I updated my drivers on the AMD site, and the radeon control panel has a big red X next to everything with the words "Does not meet minimum system requirements".

This includes games like Sonic Mania and Shovel Knight, which can run on a literal potatoe. And they run perfectly for my laptop, no clue why it claims it shouldn't.

It's okay but the world isn't interesting enough to provide context to your actions and bluntly the game is more stat-checky than maybe any Soulslike I've played.

Hollow Knight is the best Soulslike. Other good ones include Salt and Sanctuary, Star Wars Jedi Fallen Order, Remnant from the Ashes, Unworthy, Blasphemous, and Code Vein.

Hollow Knight is a great game, but I think goes a little bit overboard with the hyper challenges.

Especially the Gods and Glory one, I'd be surprised if even 1 percent of all players cracked that marathon without cheating.

Speaking of challenges, still have the trial of the fool on the menu... How hard can it be? 😂

Nemebro, did you trigger any interesting bugs in your plays?

I got a strange one where if you send Hollow Knight into phase two while he's in mid air, he drops to the ground like a stone and his polarity seems to be reversed. Like he'll slide along the ground, and his animations are all screwed up like a doll with his strings cut.

Was a freaky experience.

I really liked Jedi Fallen Order. Think one of the most remarkable things it did was show that you can have a soulsborne type game with a difficulty option that still maintains the magic of those types of games.

The only drawback to Fallen Order is that the game is a bit too small, it has the feel of an old school Tomb Raider but not the scope, there's something to be said for leaving your audience wanting more so it's not a huge problem but it makes replaying the game a bit meh.

Just installed a bunch of combat mods and Katanas on Skyrim to give my next playthrough a martial arts vibe.

So does Fallen Order play more like Nioh or Dark Souls?

I've not played Nioh yet but there are a lot of similar things with Dark Souls. Just downloaded D&D Dark Alliance so I'll give that a spin for a bit.

I've heard horrific things about D&D Dark Alliance, good luck brother.

It's closer to Dark Souls than to Nioh, but it's not really that similar to either. If you've played GOW 2018, it's more like that.

Fallen Jedi gets easier once you get used to the combat. My understanding its a lot more forgiving than Dark Souls.

Or more casual....but I enjoyed the hell out of Fallen Jedi.
