Vekked Posted October 6, 2011 Share Posted October 6, 2011 Currently I have (from favourite to least): TerrariaThe Binding Of IsaacAmnesia: The Dark DescentSuper Meat BoyZombie Driver I like Binding/Meat Boy/Terraria a fair bit, just got Meat Boy so haven't gotten super into it yet though. Amnesia is really good too but I can't play it for more than like an hour at once. Zombie Driver is OK but it could've been a lot better. I played terraria forever but I'm kind of bored of it until they update it again. It seems I like indie games and retro sort of games a fair bit. I'm not really into FPSs, or MMOs. I'm really looking forward to Orcs Must Die, definitely going to get it as soon as it comes out. I'm into strategy/puzzle/adventure-y type games more than straight action games. I like action/RPGs a fair bit too, been looking at Bastion. Any recommendations based on this info? Some games I've been considering buying: BastionGlowfishBunch of HeroesDead IslandDemolition Inc.LIMBO Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
texas pete Posted October 6, 2011 Share Posted October 6, 2011 i got on special offer about 8 "total war" games/addons.. it cost me about 20 euros. The onyl downside is the downloads are about 20 gig of stuff so i am doing it in 6gig chunks. Another reccomendation is Magica. It look pretty good as a diablo style top down point and clicker but with thousands of combinations of spells to cast Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
djdiggla Posted October 6, 2011 Share Posted October 6, 2011 I don't know what Steam is. Other things I've heard of that I know nothing about (but assume are games) is Tank Craft (?) and Team Fortress. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
doppelkorn Posted October 6, 2011 Share Posted October 6, 2011 I played Wario Ware Smooth Moves for the Wii last night. I forgot it was single player only. Felt bad because I recommended it to some friends to rent out for a party. Still an amazing game. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Posted October 6, 2011 Share Posted October 6, 2011 I have Bastion for the 360. It's a great game and definitely worth the money IMO. There's a free demo on Steam that you can try. I liked Limbo a lot too, but it's very short and I haven't played it again. It's cheap on Steam at the moment though and there's also a free demo, so I think at its current price it's worth picking up. I didn't like Dead Island. The game didn't seem very polished to me and I found it quite boring. Zombies would come at me, I'd hit them with something to knock them down, then I'd repeatedly kick them until they died and it seemed like I was doing that over and over again. I gave up on it after less than 2 hours and haven't been back to it since. As you like strategy/puzzley/adventure type games, I would recommend Might & Magic: Clash of Heroes. It's available on Steam (it's £11.99 in the UK, so it's cheap) and there's also a demo. It fits the bill, because it's an RPG-type game, but the core game mechanic is a deep strategy/puzzle game. I absolutely loved it and got something like 25 hours out of the single player. It's one of those games that's easy to play, but hard to master and they bring in more depth to it as the game goes on, so it's challenging but you're never overwhelmed by being given way too many options too early on. You can also play online against other players, which is good fun. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve Posted October 12, 2011 Share Posted October 12, 2011 The Binding Of IsaacWhen you die in this game, do you always have to start right from the very beginning again? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vekked Posted October 12, 2011 Author Share Posted October 12, 2011 The Binding Of IsaacWhen you die in this game, do you always have to start right from the very beginning again? Yes. It's a very weird game and it takes a while to get used to things like this. In one sense every time you die all of your progress is lost, but it's not completely true. The game becomes easier over time because there are tons of unlockables (characters, weapons, stats increases) that are more powerful but aren't available from the start. The no save/no restart thing is a bit annoying at first but after a while it adds so much to replay value once you get used to it. The entire game start to finish is probably under 1.5 hours (just the 5 or 6 levels you see once your beat one), but it's ridic hard. I've gotten to the last boss once.

Vekked Posted October 14, 2011 Author Share Posted October 14, 2011 Orcs Must Die comes highly recommended from me, really fun game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Posted October 14, 2011 Share Posted October 14, 2011 I've got the demo of that, but I haven't tried it yet. Cheers for the info about that Isaac game. I like it, but having to start over when you die is a bit of a pain! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vekked Posted October 14, 2011 Author Share Posted October 14, 2011 Yea it's really hard to get used to because it's like wtf how do I ever beat it if I keep having to restart and lose progress? But you don't completely lose progress, it just comes in a different way that's actually kind of cool once you get into it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Posted October 17, 2011 Share Posted October 17, 2011 I don't really understand what you said before about that Isaac game, Vek. You have that items screen that shows all of the items you've found and that doesn't get reset when you die, but you don't get to actually use those items once you're dead so you're still starting from scratch every time - unless I'm missing something.

Sorry, I'll make it a bit more clear. Basically there's X amount of items available for you to grab from the very start. Most of the strongest items only become available after you do certain things/achievements in the game, so although you don't start with them each new game, the fact that your chances of getting a strong item increase the more you play the easier it becomes. Also unlocking new characters makes it a bit easier. Stuff like that is how the game progresses. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Posted October 17, 2011 Share Posted October 17, 2011 Ah, now I see what you're saying. Cheers mate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vekked Posted December 25, 2011 Author Share Posted December 25, 2011 I got Bastion a while ago on your recommendation Steve, def a good game. Fwiw there are huuuge sales (tons of 75% off+) on Steam for x-mas right now. I bought literally 30-35 games for I think $65 total. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
