The Citadel from Mass Effect

With this playing on repeat https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sLLbzwWam6g

Die Hard Trilogy

Haven’t played many, but these were great:

Sword & Sworcery Android Apple

Sorcery! Series Android Apple

80 Days Android Apple

That is not really true. You can ignore the persons you meet completely and play the whole game on your own. Also, you can only interact through audio effects and a small proximity effect, to charge your scarve. They are more like a ghost, playing alongside you.

Journey is the only other one I can think of.

90 / 0 / 10

I don’t see why people with money should get benefits in the legal system?

Because they are rich, duh!

I very much recommend the two previous games by Richardson:

Four Last Things

The Procession to Calvary

“Cool, tell me about them. Sounds like an interesting life.”

Despite not being sure about returning to it, I finished “Lost Judgment”. Took me another 20 hours on top of the 30 I already spent on it.

I will preface this by saying, that I love the Yakuza series this is based on. But man did I hate “Judgment” and “Lost Judgment”. The mechanics are good and the second one improves them in a lot of ways, but the writing of the story and the characters is just really bad. I am glad that there will never be a third part.

I also played the first hour of “Quake 4”. Feels like “Quake of Duty”, not impressed.

Storz & Bickel, a real connoisseur.

That was… something.

I liked the creativity and the humor, but it certainly was not the best way to present games. It was kind of difficult to follow and the names of the games weren’t shown long or prominently enough.

Anyway, wishlisted Menace, Mars Tactics and Breachway.

Cute, until it strangles them.

That’s what the video to One by Metallica is based on, isn’t it?

How far can you strip down the human body until it can’t survive anymore. Assisted feeding and breathing is okay. Adjustable room temperature too.

Arms, Legs? Gone. Can we get rid of the skin? Probably, if the room is the right temperature? Bones? Most of them aren’t needed, are they? Some organs surely can go too.

Basically, what is the bare minimum needed so the body and the mind still more or less work.

Nice. Of the classic Yakuza games I liked 4 the best, I hope you will enjoy it as much as I did.

I will just mention some of the games I played from the genres you like. They are all pretty well known, so you probably played them already or have them on your list.

Puzzles: Does Turn Based Combat count as puzzles? Tactical Breach Wizards and Into the Breach (A rogue like, but it is sooo good).

Platformers: Celeste, Horace, Dustforce and Little Nightmares

Metroidvanias: Guacamelee

Point and Click: Everything by Wadjet Eye Games. Seriously, everything they developed or published.

Story aka Walking Simulators: The Suicide of Rachel Foster, Firewatch, The Beginner’s Guide, Dr. Langeskov (It’s free!), Jazzpunk, The Vanishing of Ethan Carter

+1 for Yakuza. I hope you have played 0, Kiwami 1 and Kiwami 2 before 3.

What genre of indies are you looking for?

The rerelease of Doom 1.

This time with Pistol Start, as I recently learned that the levels were balanced around that. It is challenging, but feels so right. The beginning of a level often plays like a little puzzle. Who to kill in what order to get to a decent weapon, before your 50 pistol shots run out. Can’t wait to play the new semi-official expansion they added with the rerelease.

Lost Judgment. I can’t for the life of me bring myself to keep going. The first one was kind of a drag already, but man, the addition of all the High School drama and dancing did not make it any better. The premise of the big case you are trying to solve is quite interesting, but everything around it is so bad.

I’ve already spent 30 hours on it and there are at least 50 more waiting for me. I don’t think I can do it.

Some good old Doom 1.

I played through 1 and 2 about two years ago, but I wanted to try the recent rerelease. Like last time, I play on Ultra Violence. This time with Pistol Start though, as I recently learned that the levels were balanced around that. It is challenging, but feels so right. The beginning of a level often plays like a little puzzle. Who to kill in what order to get to a decent weapon, before your 50 pistol shots run out. Can’t wait to play the new semi-official expansion they added with the rerelease.
