    Game News Warhammer 40,000: Rogue Trader Companion Trailer, Previews and Interviews

    There are so many Warhammer games yet none of them seem to capture the atmosphere. Feels like I'm being introduced to a plucky band of adventurers.

    Development Info Expeditions: Rome Dev Diary #15 - Companions

    If the object of these threads was to kill all interest I had in this game update by update, it worked. This thing looks awful.

    The Codex of Roguelikes

    The thing that trips me up there is primarily the difficulty spike. As in, I'm in faceroll mode and hardly paying attention then suddenly one random enemy is vastly stronger than anything else in the dungeon. I have died in those cases but if I'm paying attention I'll usually be able to activate...

    The Codex of Roguelikes

    A long time ago. I wasn't including it as a modern roguelike, since I played it as a young teen, but I guess it technically is one. As far as being a straightforward, solid dungeon crawler that makes you think on your feet, it's exactly what I like in this kind of game. TOME has amazing...

    The Codex of Roguelikes

    Been finally putting time into Tales of Maj'Eyal and it scratches that itch that no other other modern roguelike has been able to for me. I wish it was a bit more randomized and less quest based, but the dungeon crawling and sense of adventure give me the same feel as classic Nethack. All I want...

    Eternity Pillars of Eternity 2: Deadfire + DLC Thread - now with turn-based combat!

    The only companion I can stand in this game.

    Fallout Fallout 2 is way worse than I remember it.

    I played it for the first time last year and it's a somewhat uneven game—overly long and a step down from the first one—but probably still better than New Vegas. Overall I enjoyed it a lot.

    Eternity Pillars of Eternity + The White March Expansion Thread

    The variance between the good and bad writing in this game is pretty jarring. Grieving Mother, Durance, Zahua, and Eder are great companions by Avellone and Fenstermaker, but the it's hard to get over the Carrie Patel abominations. A lot of the lore behind the Saint's War is cool, but then you...

    Turn-Based Tactics Tactical games with a focus on generating bonus actions?

    I was going to say this. Mechanicus is easy and lacking in tactical depth, but the atmosphere and music are truly great. AP are shared across all units, and the combat is focused on the production of additional AP (it doesn't replenish automatically). I would not buy it at full price though. I...

    Incline Disco Elysium - The Final Cut - a hardboiled cop show isometric RPG

    The more I think about it, the more annoyed I am that the developers of a text-heavy near-great game that contained in-jokes about cut or additional content (the abandoned game studio + the Delta Logistics Company truck) devoted its resources to an inferior voice over rather than taking those...
