Incline The List of Incline (Now with a poll)

[Fryjar]

Where's the Banner Saga on this list? Was it removed?
It is a neat little game, and certainly forms part of the incline that we have seen since the beginning of the year for me.

 

[Grunker]

I'm back. Sort of.

What's the Kodex Konsensus on Boner Saga, Bleurghguards and M&Ms?

They're good.

p. much

there are critics of each, but the main response seems to be thumbs up in each case

 

[LibertyRansom]

I'm back. Sort of.

What's the Kodex Konsensus on Boner Saga, Bleurghguards and M&Ms?

As someone who has not played any but feverishly read Codex forums/reviews, all are acceptable, however Blackguards appears to be the best of the bunch, followed by M&M and then Banner Saga last. Blackguards apparently has some very enjoyable turn based combat.

So, if I was to attempt to keep something like the following updated, would it be worthy of it's own thread, or should I just do it in here?

[Jaesun]

This thread is rapidly approaching Retardo status.

Why?

 

[King Crispy]

Only because it's not being properly updated by op.

Edit: I take it back. Updates occurred Wednesday.

 

[poetic codex]

Fascinating list now that some of those games have been released or are in early access. Wasteland 2 was the most anticipated, yet it generated the most vitriol/backlash from the codex. While games like Might and Magic X: Legacy and Blackguards are loved. Interesting development to say the least.

 

[laclongquan]

NOthing strange about that. Wasteland 2 is just at alpha status. As a product of our beloved game devs, it will assuredly be a bucket of bugs on release and require at least two major patch to be playable. We will rage, then we will love: rage-love-rage-love, It's like a love affair with a bipolar.

 

[TwinkieGorilla]

I've noticed that not only is Banner Saga not on this list, there's no thread I can see and nobody on the Codex is really talking about it. Is it worth the $16.74 it's currently on sale for? I've always had a thing for cell-animated stuff like this ever since I was a young lad in an arcade seeing Dragon's Lair for the first time.

 

[Ulminati]

Stuff

I'd say it would be decent value for money for a tenner. The combat is nice, but there's not enough variety. A few more enemy types, the ability to level your dudes a little more and some different terrain types would've done wonders for this.

I've noticed that not only is Banner Saga not on this list,

Look again. It's in Strategy Gaming.

[Cazzeris]

Can anybody explain me Expeditions: Conquistador description? What means "good for what it is"?
Is it a good RPG? It's -75% off on Steam and I'd like to read a codexer's opinion.

Dragon Age costs now 9$..., What do you think of it?

 

[Jaesun]

Expeditions: Conquistador: worth buying, to support developers that don't make dumbed down pop-a-mole shit.

Dragon Age: Complete shit. Avoid at all cost. In fact spend that 9$ on something else.
