Steve gets a Kidney but I don't even get a tag.
Most adventure games have some sort of primitive crafting system (usually just combining items). I don't see the problem with actually putting some effort into that.

If you just want some pure unadultered Space Mehreen action like that Astartes fan movie which game would be recommended? I played 40K: Space Marine by SEGA a few years back and it was kinda okay I guess, but got a bit boring after a while. Also Dawn of War II, but it felt a bit cartoony and forced. The last game I remember playing kinda scratching the itch was Star Craft II: Wings of Liberty.

I was thinking these maybe, but the reviews seem kinda concerning:


Battlefleet Gothic: Armada 2 had a Free Weekend during which you could play freely, I'm about 15 hours on and I'm enjoying it quite a lot so far.

Love the intricate Cinematics they made and the story ain't half bad so far either:


But I can already tell it's probably going to get a bit boring after a few dozen hours of the same-ish fleet battles and system upgrading repeating without much variation.

I played the second one during the free weekend for a few hours and seems interesting,the campaign had a nice for the Emprah 40k feel,what the Kodex Kritical Konsensus on these?
I am mostly interested in the single player campaign and don't really care about the multiplayer

The first game is better than the second but they play almost the same, the second starts off pretty decent but quickly turns into a bunch of samey battles against enemy fleets that spawn in off map
most battles are just skirmish style with a few special missions tossed in here and there, some are okay and some are downright terrible, with the last mission especially falling under this category
not worth it at full price, but it's decent if you snag it on sale

I think I read somewhere that the first one only has a Imperial campaign,is that true?Because that would make it boring faster

The Castle, a maniac mansion inspired adventure game, came out a day ago


A fishing adventure


:neveraskedforthis:


A game about girls riding bikes in set in the now in vogue 80s


If any genre is over saturated it is the metroidvania.


Kind of slim pickings but Frostpunk got some dlc as well.

but the game looks totally bland with weak combat, along with store bought assets and randomly placed chest high walls - why the interest at all?

Who cares about the Serious Sam 'Classics' rebundled for the millionth time. I want the new one of which we've heard nothing since they announced it so very long ago.

I do. This is very cool news, as the original non-HD versions of First and Second Encounter are still pretty fun to play, especially with friends.
