Dex so far really captures the spirit of those two games. However, I'm not the best at twin-stick shooters but I better get gud if I want to succeed since that's the whole point of selecting and playing this game for me -- for the pure cyberpunk and that warm, cozy place in cyberspace battling AI and black ice that takes me back. Let's see how this goes..
Twin-stick shooter? Isn't Dex a 2D side-scroller, or am I thinking of the wrong game?
I'm also playing Geneforge. 30 hours in. I've been humbled more than once in this game. There have been quite a few reloads. It's a lot of fun but the ambient sounds are driving me crazy. Especially the kid sounds in the cities. Exploration is fun. There are many areas that I have unlocked that just wrecks me. I'm slowly making my way through some of them, before returning back to town and heal. The positive thing is that I am lasting longer and longer. I have more healing/curing pods and some spells to help with being exploring for longer periods of time. Magical items are also more common now. I had the same stuff equipped for a very long period.Geneforge. My first success is figuring out how to get that damn robe. Had to step away after that, but I'll be back.
I've seen this game in passing but hadn't thought much of it. Seems pretty good.I'm also playing Geneforge.

I thought it was ok but some of the platforming was hard because of the camera. I had high hopes for the series after the game was released, but apparently hardcore fans disliked it because they wanted more shitty handheld sequels, and LoS 2 was total dogshit
Playing vanilla Icewind Dale without expansion or any mods (Widescreen mod doesn't work), but using DgVoodoo (a bit choppy) to get the correct aspect ratio.
I'm running a power trio of Fafhrd (Ranger), Gray Mouser (Fighter/Thief) and Cappen Varra (Bard). My plan was for CV to function as a healer once reaching lvl 11, using the War Chant of the Sith, but I just realized that all the fun bard songs were introduced in the expansion.
So the Bard is rather useless in the original game with only one weak song, but becomes rather OP in the expansion. Oh well, there's always potions.
Why play without the expansion? Just curious.
Things start to get really hoary as my power trio ventured into the second level of Krasselack's Tomb in Icewind Dale. I think the undead having no Call for Help scripts was by conscious design, since taking on one Skeletal Mage (dual classed Priest/Mage that can cast both Stinking Cloud and Hold Person), two Imbued Wights, five Skeletal Archers with Fire Arrows, and lots of melee skeletons of different sizes in an open fight would be suicide for any party you could have at this stage.
It's always unsatisfactory when you're forced to take them out one by one.
This is probably the relatively hardest area of the map for my party, since I have no cleric or paladin, and little proficiency with crushing weapons. And backstabbing is of little use.
Are you planning on doing a lil' write-up for IWD in the same vein as your Diablo II showcase? I quite enjoyed that.
