FWIW the game has been relisted now.

W: Ori and the Will of the Wisps from the new Humble xbox bundle H: Paypal F&F

I played the original Deus Ex several years back and people hype the hell out of this game but they all neglect to mention how busted it can get. In the first 2/3 of the game I had three or four moments where the game/AI/physics/logic broke in ways that were of "if you see something go this...

I think it is fine for a truly great game to be 100 hours long, but for anything less than that it's probably not a good thing. Basically for a 9 out of 10 game, sure; if it is a 7 though... at that length I'd probably rather player a 5 for ten hours instead. Really I'd probably avoid both, but...

There is, but so far I've gone through the first half or so of the listed games and added 20 to my "give it a shot someday" backlog that weren't in those prior giant charity bundles. In terms of big name established games Tunic and Tangle Tower are the only two fresh additions, but if you do...

Just to show how my mind works I probably haven't heard the name or even thought of Sigma Star Saga in... 15+ years, saw the post here and went "...that was the game with the oddly horned up character art, right?" It was, BTW.

I mean, it is likely that they all had their own individual lists of best games of the year and they the company sorta collated them all to come up with the list of best games for the year, that's how many sites and institutions handle awards season. If only half the games they personally listed...

Want: Frogun Encore Have: Paypal F&F

Want: Webbed (was in a humble bundle some time ago)

I would say that largely depends on how the Pro sells. Given the high cost and that the install base for the regular PS5 is apparently 60 million, I would not be surprised if there is a bit of an initial push/focus on the Pro that quickly becomes "eh, just mash the performance and quality modes...

I'm gonna be honest, I keep checking this thread solely to see if they are finally gonna give a release date for the physical release of Hi-Fi Rush they swear is still coming which means every day I get to yell something like "Who the hell cares about Snow Bros!?!"

Oath in Felghana and Ys Origins are the best of the "middle era" Ys games, as far as the more recent ones go Ys VIII is much stronger than IX so I'd look there first.

WTB: Jusant: $3

Remake perhaps but I think a Bloodborne 2 is probably more up to From than Sony at this point. FWIW I used to know someone relatively well placed in the game biz (was a higher up on the Shadow of Mordor games) and the belief in that company was that Bloodborne 2 was a go after Sekiro (they...

Not for nothing but regardless of one's personal feeling regarding DEI thinking anyone is spending $100 million on it (on a single game!) is utter madness that just makes you look ridiculous.

Oh neat, same dev made Pig Eat Ball which I stumbled upon a few years back and loved a ton, always wanted to check out what else they did.

The tricky thing is that while the "main" levels in Talos are good what really stuck out to me are the bonus ones... and those can get real time consuming in a "wait... how?!?" kind of way.

Probably not but even if so... a lot of people dumped money into VR and now that it hasn't set the world on fire said money is disappearing, even if they did become the market leader moving forward I'm not sure it'd mean all that much? Steam says it took me 43 hours to play through both Talos...

The boss battles were the trickiest part of the game, but not super difficult or anything. I will say that I turned down the difficulty to easy for the final boss battle mainly because I found it to be overly long and annoying, something like three phases long (with interstitial bits) where...

I enjoyed Kena but it really isn't much like any Zelda game beyond some superficial similarities in aesthetics. No dungeons, not really any real overworld (it is all connected but each area is rather distinct and only somewhat open) not much in the way of lock & key mechanics, and the combat is...
