I have been checking for updates on this since I first heard of it on the loading screen of PoE2. If it’s anything like the pillars games I am gonna be real happy

Fwiw I share your comments pretty closely, just finished it myself a few weeks ago. Navigating the map was unbelievably tedious especially with random trash mob spawns whenever you took a wrong turn. I also found myself totally apathetic about the side missions or random task missions and just focused main story the whole time. It took me a long time to finish for those reasons but did really enjoy the plot. Gameplay I just built myself into a rock chucker like you and ignored all guns. Certainly a very neat concept, just wanted waaaaay more map help. Hardest part for me was the theme song bit through the shifting map thing (maybe that’s what you were referring to?) But enjoyed the music there so was alright with all my deaths. Rest was easier by comparison

Awesome! I’ll check those out

Superliminal is the best similar to portal without being portal game I have played, big recommend

Yes, this one is great

Hypnospace outlaw also keeps some of this similar nostalgia alive and now I want to go check out this one for even more of it

Wandersong is the happiest game you could possibly play that I play whenever I am feeling particularly depressed. Hypnospace outlaw is hilarious and fits the time criteria. Both are newer than 5 years but have very non-demanding specs

If bg3 came out with a dlc that added more playable classes, playable races (kobolds), more story content with raised level cap, etc they could have my $100. But they won’t do that, all their new content patches are free.

My thoughts exactly. The statement is certainly true but I have seen it used as an argument against protest by refusing to support morally bankrupt businesses.

Fair trade is quite a fallable system too unfortunately. And the honest answer is it isn’t truly known what chocolate has slavery involved for just regular child labor but it is fairly safe to assume most at least are likely to involve it, even fair trade and other similar certifications

Genuine question: what do you recommend instead? Not really excited to support Google via pixel either and didn’t love my last iPhone. Is there a good choice anywhere?

It’s so accurate it hurts me
