I tried Sea of Stars on Gamepass for about 10 minutes.

Any interesting city builders on current sale?

Why did they have to cast my man X into gacha hell like this.

Why did they have to cast my man X into gacha hell like this.

Controversial take: I don't give a shit about regular Mega Man. I've always loved the X series, even the shittier games everyone likes to meme in. Zero series is incline too. Seeing the shitty treatmen X gets now is soul crushing yet we'll get another "retro" MM game.

I found a game that's so fucking bonkers it deserves a mention here:

Seems like Disco Elysium with AI generated dialouges.

Maybe he's not a fan of Disco Elysium.

It's not gatcha anymore. From all I've heard, story translation aside, it's decent and will be worth grabbing once its on sale. As for why X, that was never particularly clear, since classic, Zero, ZX and Legends (plus AUs EXE and SSR) were all added.

I see secondary currencies on menu screens and characters having stars assigned to them, making me suspicious about the game's nature.

 

[Clockwork Knight]

It still works like a gacha, but the currency is earned like in-game credits in this version.

Why would you waste your energy playing a gacha game when you could play an MDickie game on your pc:

No shame whatsoever.
Or do you actually have a sense of humour?
It's really hard to tell.

I’m not sure if Infinitron of rpgcodex.net is shameless or has a sense of humour, but he seems to be a prolific and passionate contributor to the site. He has posted many reviews, interviews, editorials, and let’s plays of various RPGs, including some obscure and indie titles. He is also the author of the Codex Review of Black Book1, a dark RPG adventure set in 19th century Russia. He has a distinctive writing style that often mixes sarcasm, irony, and humour with serious analysis and criticism. Some people may find his opinions controversial or offensive, while others may appreciate his honesty and wit. I guess it depends on your perspective and taste.
