I wanted to love Soma, I tried playing twice now. I live for the ocean, so this should be right up my alley. But to be fair I never passed the apartment at the start.

I reaaaaally should stick with it and try again. Thanks for reminding me of my shame!

I tried Hades! I loved the art and the world, but the idea of progressing only a little each time and dying (often) was a turn off to me.

The world they made though? Amazing! Thanks for these suggestions, I’ll check them all out!

You’ve been paying the Apple Tax!

After Snowden’s efforts at showing what America was capable of nearly 10 years ago, I’m not at all interested in letting that country have my data

The Metroid Prime Remake was beautiful to see on my Switch. Really appreciated playing through that. I had to have a online walkthrough on hand, but that’s just me!

Well worth the price.

I see this weird Death March thing everywhere. I replayed through recently on the easiest setting (story and sword, I think its called?) and had a GREAT time.

If you ever feel the urge, I can’t recommend it enough. The first couple hours of playing are like an extended tutorial. The entirety of White Orchid is a learning zone, really.

As everyone says, once you reach the Bloody Baron quest, you see just how amazing the game and the writing can be!

I’ve never heard of this, but I love podcasts.

Isn’t this similar to the totally free AntennaPod from f-droid?

That’s interesting you loved XV, I played right after the VII Remake and it just didn’t ‘click’ with me.

I love the design (the almost mid-cent car’s look), but it just wasn’t right to me somehow.

OP what do you think about Xenoblade Chronicles X? Have you played? Is this an okay one to ‘start’ with?

Usually I see mecha and I am all in, but haven’t played yet! Would love to hear if you have played it.

Agreed with this.

A few years back it seemed better: fewer people meant recognised faces, regular chats, and almost a community feeling. I was in some kind of Linux instance.

Being much younger than most threw people off though, and I ended up feeling a little…on-the-outside and left.

I hopped on a week back and it feels so different now. Less community-oriented and all I find interesting is searching a hashtag and leaving.

I don’t know, maybe reddit (before the death) and lemmy have spoiled me, it just seems like random thoughts above all now.

Can’t recommend playing it on Steam Deck enough. Amazing pick-up-and-play game that looks incredible on the screen!

Comfort of my couch + TV on my Series X far outweighs whatever improvements sitting at a desk provides.

Xbox comes with comfort, and to me that is priceless

Anyone else just using whatever is FOSS feom f-droid?

Of course the more apps the merrier, but personally open code = a more trustworthy use for me

Here is a site which removes paywalls for you, for future reference!

Actually looks like I’ll only be playing through Asylum and City. Bought all three on my Steam Deck, but for some reason Knight is unsupported on there.

But, I’m happy to start with the original and enjoy it from there!

Hey, somehow I didn’t even notice this?

I think you saved a lot of pondering, and made this whole post a bit pointless! Thanks so much, I just got it!

Now, I might as well start at the start!

Ye-es, pretty much what I worried it would be! A shame, since I love how it looks, but car-drivey-Batman doesn’t seem too much of a winner to me :(

I’ve seen a lot of discussions on the batmobile being a let-down in the third game!

Resident Evil 2 Remake.

I think if like me you are a total scardey-cat then it’ll be an effort!

I adore the visuals, the world, how well it runs on my Steam Deck. I have a slight girl-crush on Claire (after a full-blown crush on Jill after playing RE:3 before this!), and a disctinct realisation that if a zombie apocalypse comes? I am toast.

The issue is I am terrible with scary games! But I am really quite taken with the world in the game!

5/7 so far

Yep, it was 100% a ‘bigger’ game, so I’m sure I’m just stuck somewhere in the mix. Everything I click in the support pages just takes me back to my already requested request for a refund, so can’t even reach any live chat support.

My main take-away is to just be patient (it’s so not in my nature!)

Appreciate your input and help by the way!
