The STEAM Sales and Releases Thread

[Zednick]

For those of you craving an extreme nostalgia trip:

 

[Jenkem]

I heard the first one (8-Bit Adventures) was pretty mediocre, but haven't heard many opinions. Anyone play it?

 

[karoliner]

Finally a decent boxing game? Reviews are good.



Stable diffusion is gonna flood Steam with hentai games.

For the 2 persons in the entire codex who play shmups.

FYI: Raiden IV x MIKADO is just the same old game of Raiden IV Overkill but w/ a new soundtrack due to the IP changing hands and not having the music.

Pretty nice, the February event isn't usually as packed with RPGs.

 

[Atlet]

We even got a blobber in the list! I'm particularly interested in Xenonauts 2, Wantless and Ludus Mortis. But bookmarked Prometheus Wept and Archmage Rises as well.

Crysis and its sequels are on sale. Never played the latters, but I remember having a good time on the original back then, so I got it on steam.
AI is much worse than I remember, but goddamn the atmosphere is still top tier. The actual sequel Far Cry deserved to get.
I'm very surprised to see the poor reviews it gets on steam, while 2 and 3, allegedly much less ambitious, got a lot of praise. Which is weird considering they got rid of the free roaming in the jungle aspect. Pretty much the only reason to play Crysis (?).

 

[Melcar]

Because of pop-a-mole. They started to shift the direction of the games for a reason.

 

[karoliner]

Early access but game is fully playable is mostly for balance/fixing bugs.

61% review. Is it really that bad?

 

[kites]

Zeno Clash sequel, first I'm hearing about it..

 

[ERYFKRAD]

Zeno Clash sequel, first I'm hearing about it..

Is it my perception or is there an increase in the number of people with slight lips providing voiceover. Sibilance is getting thicker everywhere.

 

[Tse Tse Fly]

Zeno Clash sequel, first I'm hearing about it..

There already was one https://store.steampowered.com/app/215690/Zeno_Clash_2/

 

[Cat Headed Eagle]

Zeno Clash 2 was rhe proper, direct sequel - same characters and story. Clash is more of a game in the same universe. It has a gimmick where you equip enemies' abilities and you turn into them, sort of.

 

[pakoito]

Zeno Clash sequel, first I'm hearing about it..

 

[Don Peste]

Demo available. Not new, but I found it today.

 

[kites]

Zeno Clash sequel, first I'm hearing about it..

Man that camera angle putting you in the corner is really screwy to me.. hopefully has some configuration

 

[Baron Dupek]

Early access but game is fully playable is mostly for balance/fixing bugs.

isn't that game overly complicated/convoluted/bloated to absurd degree? At least that's what I remember from old YT review watched years ago...
And what are the connection with the Etrian Odyssey? Both have some Yggdra in it.

 

[karoliner]

Indonesian high school simulator. Just a demo for now but you can tell how true to life it is.

 

[jebsmoker]

one of the best half life mods got reborn as a zero budget unreal engine game. however, this is basically a fucked up port with numerous glitches: the remake was originally made for the nintendo switch. there's numerous weird animation bugs that don't exist in the switch version, so i'd wait a few weeks
