Shadowrun Returns - The Dead Man's Switch

Game is really fun, but the lack of control over party's inventory is really fucking irritating. Esp. in the final mission. The party faces over 9000 enemies, yet each bro only brings one gun to the party, despite having free equipment slots. WTF?

But with the little help from the savegame editor, I was able to fix this silly omission:

The Pleya, so proper equipment by default (alien blaster, rifle, shotgun).

Bro Harlequin, now equipped with a shotgun (originally missing, despite Skill=5)

Elven Commando, now also with the shotgun (Skill=4)

Sis Coyote, equipped with 4th alien blaster.

And here we go... After all:

Species Traitors spotted!

With four alien blasters, you can even kill the bug spirits via overwatch:

OFC not when they're comming outta the goddamn walls!

Did they steal assets from Warcraft 3?

Turns out that driving in Cyberpunk ain't nearly as bad as folks claim. I apologize for settings - I value performance above all.

The place is cool but fuck those leeches.

The final boss is the DK crew. Bunch of talking blind telepathic apes. Also, you can shoot the gorilla's benis.

The city of the dead was disappointing, I was expecting more. Overall good game, there's some jank but meh.



Strong beginning and middle but the end was just disappointing.

That looks a bit Ori-ish. Any good?

I didn't play Ori duology at all, but Seasons is rather easy for seasoned players, and oriented towards the younger players. But the artstyle, animation and soundtrack are great so it wort checking out, especially for the discounted price right now.

Keynote: There are NO enemies in Seasons. Is almost a walking simulator game, and easy puzzles so to speak. Definitively meant for younger players, or game journos.
Nice art though.

System Shock 3

"That's some misunderstanding Officer, I stay away from drugs, I swear!"

Oh wait, it's not System Shock 3. I mean there is certainly some system being shocked. But there are also discs & light cycles.

And the game even has little roomba-like dudes who improve your programs and die after that:

How sweet is that!

TBH I find the remark about animation a bit puzzling, because it seems very stiff.
From what I've seen the game in general seems turbo-casual and (probably) not terribly interesting?

Anyway, regarding Ori, it's a rare game that would have visuals alone (Art direction, animation), gameplay, soundtrack or quality of storytelling (not the story itself, but how it's told) making it worth playing.
Even rarer one that could be recommended on any single of those aspects, even neglecting the others.
Rarer still that also has all those working in concert in addition to any of them being stellar standalone.
And finally, almost unheard of, a game that's virtually free of dumbshit cargo-cult gamedev blunders, where every single aspect is like a cog in Swiss clockwork working together towards single vision and experience.

Ori and The Blind Forest is such a game.
I rarely find it difficult to shit on a game, even one I cherish for one reason or another. I could shit and mostly have shat on all of TES, Fallouts, all IE games, Wizardry 8, Deus Ex, System Shock, Homeworld, Unreal, Doom 2, Witchers, Larian's stuff, etc.
All feature braindead, facepalm-inducing blunders of all kinds that tarnish and detract from overall experience.
All are testament to the sad fact that gamedev industry mostly consists of hacks smacking random shit together in hope that it sticks.

Ori is virtually unblemished.
The only things I could possibly put against it are length (it's a short game, around 12h on first, completionist playthrough) and fairly barebones combat (though that's hardly fair given how it's clearly not the focus of the game), maybe also relatively spurious XP system.

The sequel is admittedly less perfectly architected, but it's retains most of the qualities of the original in addition to being much bigger and having better, more involved combat.
(It's pretty much a Fallout 2 vs Fallout 1 situation).

Both have effortlessly made their way into the list of my all times favourites despite not even belonging to a genre I particularly care about.

So, by all means do play both Oris, starting with the first game (Ori and The Blind Forest) as they follow from one another.
You're missing out, man.

I'm afraid those adventures are a tad too wholesome to post here.
