So I finished Leon's 'half' of the story yesterday. It was great! Loved all the puzzles (which had a classic videogame feel to them) as well as the various settings. It's a beautiful looking game and the gunplay is very satisfying.
I was a bit disappointed to learn that playing as Claire is just the same thing again, although it does have a few different story beats. I don't mind too much though as it seems like a fun game to play through multiple times.
This seems like a great way to remake an old game. Reminds me of FF7 remake in some respects.
I'm currently away from home and I've downloaded Resident Evil 2 (remake) onto my Steam Deck. I'm an hour or so in loving it so far! I've only ever played RE4 (the original version) before and it feels quite different - less incentive to shoot enemies.
The first two games that came to mind are unfortunately only available on PS4. I'll mention them anyway, just in case they come to PC in future or someone else that has a PS4 is interested: Tearaway Unfolded is a really sweet game in a paper craft world. You manipulate paper scenery to help with platforming and really customise your character in creative ways. Just a unique and charming game. And Gravity Rush 1&2. These games let you alter gravity to fly around a beautiful open world - I've never played something with a traversal and combat system like this.
I agree with Obra Dinn and the Witness as mentioned by others!
This is probably a weird suggestion, but you could emulate Metal Gear Ac!d 2 (PSP game). It's a stealth game (like the rest of the MGS series) mixed with a deck builder, so your actions are dictated by the cards that you play. The second one in particular perfects the formula IMO. It's super satisfying and I'd love to see more games of this type!
Whoa, I love this. The found 'artifacts' in particular - it's fascinating seeing things that people probably used as bookmarks. Plane tickets, old adverts and receipts. Just little snippets of time - worthless then, but capturing a moment forever.
My childhood experience was very similar - pop to the library and stop off at the café. The local library near me was a beautiful old rectory building covered in ivy and thankfully it's still open.
It's extremely sad to hear about the closures. Funding cuts can be so short-sighted...
I remember my local library having reading challenges when I was younger. You'd fill out a little pamphlet with stickers for each book you finished. It was great fun! Do they still do similar things?
I think if my parents hadn't taken me to the library I wouldn't have been nearly as interested in reading.
MGS2 and 3 are running at 1080p, which is widescreen right? I think they're just ports of the Xbox 360 remasters, which gave the originals widescreen support.
Imagine basing your personality around a watch
