Patient Gamers

Guardians of the Galaxy was surprisingly good. More so than the movies, the game gives all the characters their due time.

Just make sure to stop when people speak, otherwise you'll go past the invisible point that makes them stop and then you'll miss out on the dialogue.

Could have taken some notes from God of War there.

Can anyone recommend a game that can be played over zoom (preferably in a web browser) that isn’t:

1. Jackbox
2. What the Dub
3. Rifftrax the Game
4. Papa’s quiz
5. Use Your Words

• Antichamber
  Physics puzzler with mind-bendy environments
• Monster Sanctuary
  Metroidvania creature collector where new creatures give you new movement abilities
• CrossCode
  Reminds me of the older Zelda titles but with more parkour and bouncy balls
• Ender Lilies
  Metroidvania, small girl uses the souls of fallen enemies to fight for her
• Trinity Fusion
  Metroidvania-Roguelike in a multiverse
• Cassette Beasts
  Cute creature collector with neat elemental interactions and fusions
• Tactical Breach Wizards
  A bunch of idiots try to prevent a coup by means of defenestration

Titan Souls is a fantastic boss rush game where you die in one hit but the bosses only take a few hits as well. You only have one arrow to shoot and you need to go pick it up or stand still to recall it to yourself before firing again.

Site is unreachable to me now.

Cyberpunk is on sale for 65% off so I finally picked it up (and its DLC). Currently downloading, I’m looking forward to checking it out. I tried it out shortly after launch, I think a demo or a friend’s house, but it never clicked for me so I didn’t get it. It was also incredibly buggy. I heard it’s far better now though, especially with the DLC, so I’ll give it a real shot.

And once again, Steam runs into various errors for me because of the high number of people getting in on the sale.

A beautiful reason to be inconvenienced. Enjoy gaming harmony my friends.

Bloons TD 6 is $1.39 so I bought a copy for my wife so we can play together.

Note: GOG is also having a sale
