Thread 718334072

I don't care anymore, let's have a Steam thread, fuck it.
Let's recommend games to each other.
Popular to obscure, let's fill each other's wishlist.

I'll start
Straight from my favorites is...

Gravitas

It's short, sweet, and funny. A first person puzzle game about shifting gravity.
It's also FREE!

>>718334346
*Take a look...
https://store.steampowered.com/app/1067310/Gravitas/

>>718334346
But that's just Portal, also fuck off with your shilling

This game is severely overlooked, if you liked Saints Row 4's movement and enjoy making guns with attachments, it's a solid sci-fi open world shooty game.

>>718334582
I'm not shilling anything.
If anything I'm RECOMMENDING.
And speaking of RECOMMENDING.
I'm RECOMMENDING...

Slime Rancher

A cute, colorful. exploration, relaxing, farming FPS about sucking up and raising slimes for their crystals.
While it's not free like Gravitas, I assure you it's money well spent (especially on sale).

Take a look...
https://store.steampowered.com/app/433340/Slime_Rancher/

I've been playing this lately - https://store.steampowered.com/app/1807810/The_Axis_Unseen/

It's essentially Skyrim Stealth Archer : the game. You explore a big fuckoff wilderness map full of enemies that have various weakpoints and ways of sensing you, and you try to push onward to find better gear and lore to explain what's going on. The biomes are interesting and varied, the archery feels good, and the enemies are simple but combine in interesting ways.

I've been thinking about getting Ash of Gods. Is it good? Should I want for Banner Saga to go on sale instead?

It's slept on too damn much, but FIGHT KNIGHT is peak video games. Just save often.
https://store.steampowered.com/app/792120/FIGHT_KNIGHT/

FlyKnight was an excellent way to spend an afternoon, I can't wait for a follow up
https://store.steampowered.com/app/3108510/FlyKnight/

Thronebreaker is a sleeper hit that only I seem to like, singleplayer story driven card games are hard to come by and they put a fuckton of effort into it

Also, it has a demo!

Sell me on Itorah, it looked kinda generic but I enjoyed 8doors. Tried to play Anuchard but the town layout made me want to kill something and the constant loading screens didn't help.

>>718335034
>>718335789
Just so you guys know no one is going to look at those with no description

>>718334072 (OP)
heres a few games with demos for your wishlist
The big catch: has a substantial demo out, supposed to release this year if it isnt delayed
https://store.steampowered.com/app/2985610/The_Big_Catch_Tacklebox/

Hirogami. a fun action game with an interesting, papercraft artstyle
https://store.steampowered.com/app/3135840/Hirogami/

Morsels. fun if you are not tired of action rougelikes yet, great art and music
https://store.steampowered.com/app/3727400/Morsels_Demo/

isometric cyberpunk turn-based stealth game that I replay regularly
https://store.steampowered.com/app/243970/Invisible_Inc/

top down terraria clone but npcs are actually useful and they can get basic resources for you, but most impressively, they can sort chests for you; if you set up your shit you can just come back to your base, drop all your loot into one chest and watch npcs sort it neatly into proper chests
also it has very active development and recently hit 1.0, perfect time to play it
https://store.steampowered.com/app/1169040/Necesse/

/v/core and indeed, 4chan-core. Get it before the sequel hits.

https://store.steampowered.com/app/91700/EYE_Divine_Cybermancy/

Here's another game

Going Under

A colorful, action rougelike, dungeon crawling, beat em' up about an intern battling foes within failed tech start ups using whatever junk you find lying around.

While the art invokes that "corporate" look, (probably intentionally), I had a lot of fun while playing it. Although it can get very difficult at times, but at least there are accessibility options that can mitigate this a bit. I manage to get all the achievements, so that's worth saying something. Did you know this game was also made by the guys who made "Peak" and "Another Crab's Treasure"?

Either way, take a gander... [It's also currently on sale!]

Reskinned DoomRL from the DRL dev dropped earlier this week. Pretty goo

https://store.steampowered.com/app/1143810/Black_Skylands/

>>718341326
>>718334072 (OP)
And speaking of bumpy, here is another rec but this time with an asterisk!

>Assault Android Cactus

An "intense" arcade-style twin-stick shooter about a group of "Gynoid" blasting horse after horde of mechanical monstrosities.
Single player and co-op, there are several characters to choose from, each with their own gun and "sub-gun" and many levels that'll test your skills (and patience).

While it's "hard", I did enjoy my "leisure" time with it. Fun colorful characters and a simple enough controls. It's not a LONG gam; and I do like and recommend it.

...however

Be wary, while it's fun to play and finish, I don't really recommend 100%-ing it/getting all of the achievements. It'll ask for perfection out of you and the game Will get "bullshit" at MANY times, with several insta-kill crap, etc.

BUT, if you don't care about achievements, I can safely recommend it.

or at least you can look at it and judge for yourself.
https://store.steampowered.com/app/250110/Assault_Android_Cactus/

>>718342070
Keep posting these...not a lot catching my eye, but a couple interesting gems so far and one I already went through, Necesse.

I guess i can also recommend

>POSTAL: Brain Damaged

A boomer shooter featuring everyone's "questionable acquaintance", The Postal Dude.

Just like every other game in the Postal Franchise (it's a franchise because it has a movie, go figure), it vulgar, irreverent, and very violent. However, In my opinion, that's just makes this game more unique, I mean, what other boomer shooter, or FPS in general, is this raunchy, (sans the other Postal game).

But aside from all that, Brain Damaged is a funny boomer shooter, with very fun and creative weapons, with many weird and odd locations with just as many weird and odd enemies to blow up. A game that I fully completed and a game that really surprised me, and it game may surprise you too, if you can stomach it.

But that's for you to decide...
https://store.steampowered.com/app/1359980/POSTAL_Brain_Damaged/

Any good open worlds that I haven't already heard about?

>>718334941
Is it a sandbox, or is it a linear game? Also, do you play as a predefined protagonist or does it have a character creator?

>>718336834
Necesse is top tier. I only played it with one character like a year ago because I'm saving myself for full release so I can just binge it for hundreds of hours like a retard.

>>718338962
I thought commissioning Giani as a VA for their shite white man dumb wewstern game was cringe enough, but bundling with Caves of Cuck is at least one step below.

https://store.steampowered.com/app/3597590/Dungeon_Mori/
It's a relatively simple dungeon crawler but it looks cute and is generally kinda comfy.

>>718344229
It's linear insofar as there's an intended order for progression through the world; find the ability to breath poison air to traverse the swamps, find the ability to see in the dark to traverse the pitch-black quarry, etc. Other than that you're given the freedom to explore and backtrack as you choose, there's a hub with portals to various checkpoints throughout the world.

No character creator, no character at all really (your shadow only shows your equipment). The lore is vignettes about other people trying to explore and master this forest, and the various ways they failed.

>>718344731
Much appreciated. It's been sitting in my wishlist but my decrepit laptop can't run the demo yet, so I figured I'd ask around. Will probably buy it once I had a proper rig.

>>718336080
This. Sharing links or names without even so much as telling the genre of the game turns it into noise.

>>718344935
If it sounds interesting, to my understanding https://store.steampowered.com/app/1639790/Northern_Journey/ is similar and might be less intensive. I haven't tried it yet though, I could be completely off-base.

>>718346354
Solid assortment. I'll admit most of the ones in my wheelhouse were already wishlisted but I recognize your taste from the steam sale threads so I probably heard of some of them from you at some point.

>>718345668
Looks cheap, too. I'll wishlist it for now until I clear my current backlog. Thanks.

>>718346354
>Star Iliad
Hey that reminds me of Phoenotopia: Awakening
>Cape Cosmic
Oh, it's the same dev! Well it's not a sequel, but I'm glad they're still making stuff.

>>718334072 (OP)
good game where you get to genocide magatards! Very suitable now when the orange turd is in charge, thanks to his double digit IQ fans!

https://store.steampowered.com/app/2682860/The_Dark_Horde/
This deckbuilder looks like the lowest effort shit possible but I love it because its dev properly understands that what makes card games fun is the satisfying combos and powerful synergies.

Just names of games... don't even say what the games are about or if it's full of idiotic DEI tropes; Steam doesn't allow warning labels on the worst weaponized propaganda delivery games.

>>718347156
just ask about a game you want to know more about, anon. it's not hard

>>718346354

Looking forward to it, as I really liked CrossCode

https://store.steampowered.com/app/975230/Das_Geisterschiff__The_Ghost_Ship/

old-school sci-fi dungeon crawler with a cool vector artstyle

Anyone have recommendations for Shmups and Tower Defense?

>>718344715
Farthest Frontier is great. The 1.0 is out on beta, should leave early access by the end of the year

There's a G-Police remake in the works obviously under a different name because it was by Psygnosis/Studio Liverpool/Sony. It's called G-Rebels but doesn't have a specific release date.

>>718344506
uh... the VA lines were just generic doom/nukem type stuff

>>718344102
elin
approaching infinity

>>718347156
I always include at least a very brief description. I tend to hold onto recommendations until someone asks for something specific because then there's a better chance I'll be able give a good rec instead of dumping half my library only for nobody to look at any of it.

>>718348659
>Shmup
You most likely know about this one but https://store.steampowered.com/app/603960/Star_of_Providence/
Extremely polished and very lovingly made roguelite shmup. Just don't go to their discord.

>Just don't go to their discord.
Do I want to know?

>>718350589
>uh... the VA lines were just generic doom/nukem type stuff
Hiring that faggot is already a red flag.
>>718350589
>Elin
Fairly decent rec considering I gave you nothing to work with, though I personally won't play it because I dislike games with absurd and completely unhinged power levels that make no sense and break in 5000 different ways every second, not to mention my general distrust of greedy gooks. Still, I'm grateful.
>approaching infinity
Now that one I might actually try. The soul-chilling tumblr-looking character portraits set off numerous alarms, but I'm willing to suppress that instinct to give it a fair try.
Thanks for not recommending some dogshit like Caves of Qud.

>>718351287
It's a discord, nothing out of the ordinary. I, for one, got banned from it because one of the mods' friends found out I have an edgy steam profile.

>>718351525
>greedy
you only pay once for elin, anon

approaching infintiy is basically star trek: the roguelike. the tumblr character portraits make sense in-universe since you have humanity having been screwed over by "the bankers"

>>718351589
commie faggots love banning people. it lets them larp as a socialist dictator

Thoth is a twin stick shooter that I found during its sale recently. Super minimal and addictive. I can't put it down. Only 99 cents right now.

>>718352119
>you only pay once for elin, anon
And I pay a price that isn't regionally adjusted.
Call me a brown third worlder all you know, but over the years I've learned how to connect the dots and establish personality patterns based on behavior.
>approaching infintiy is basically star trek: the roguelike.
I'm quite a bit behind on the NA pop culture, never watched Star Trek. Let me ask you this, is it autistic? I was gonna buy this Star Traders Frontiers game a while ago until I read a bunch of reviews and realized it's just a game for people whose spergotry is at a level where they have fun doing taxes.
>the tumblr character portraits make sense in-universe since you have humanity having been screwed over by "the bankers"
The problem with lore that justifies shitty things is the developer should have just made lore that doesn't have shitty things to justify. Hearing about "the bankers" also raises some alarms because it's probably not the ((())) kind of bankers and instead the 'we must eat le rich and cease the meen of production xD' kind. Either way, I'm still willing to give it a try.
In case you're interested in sandboxes yourself, I can rec you this in the meantime https://store.steampowered.com/app/1224290/Horizons_Gate/
Buildcrafting is pretty fun in it, even though grindy.

Remember "Death from Above" from Call of Duty? There's a game like that called Drone Sector, there's even a demo.
Still waiting on Dunecrawl release date to be announced.

>>718353084
Yeah. approaching infinity is autistic. Not disgaea/star traders frontiers/elin tier autistic but it's at least a bi

There isn't that much lore in approaching infinity beyond reasons for [x faction] to hate the others.

I own horizon's gate but haven't played yet. Waiting till i get around to voidspire/alvora tactics.

Play Popucom. Splitscreen coop(Steam remote play together avaliable) or online.

>>718353264
I guess I'll have to do the demo and decide for myself if the autism is severe enough to be a dealbreaker.
If you're pressed for time - skipping Alvora isn't a particularly bad idea. Voidspire and Horizon are two of the best games in the series. The other two I'd recommend trying only if you become a huge fan. Kingsvein especially is not worth 20 bucks.

>>718354334
nigga, i am never getting friends to play this with me. they'll play EDF, deep rock, vermintide, any souls game, RE co-op, and a million other games. this shit? nah.
the one friend who WOULD play this with me will say "another day" and then end up playing it with his girlfriend.

>>718354720
You should tell that dude to play Phogs with his girlfriend, that game was fun.

It's worse! They're not even buying games because they're just renting them!

It's actually embarrassingly sad, but also funny!

I feel like most of the replies are ChatGPT prompts

Can someone recommend a game that's like oldschool runescape but doesn't suck as much as it?

portal clones that are ass and no one should play. picking random portal 2 workshop maps will be more enjoyable:

Honestly don't know how good it'll end up being when it's out, but right now Duel Corp is close to entering early access and I'm pretty interested in it.
https://store.steampowered.com/app/1804470/Duel_Corp/
Singleplayer game first with a psuedo MMO feel (PSO/Vindictus style hub area where you can see other people, two-player team up, and run out from there to do quests or randomized dungeons and trials out in the world together). There's also emergency world events like towns being raided and things like that.
The dev(s?) has progress updates weekly so I have some hope this isn't another Atlyss type of situation where it's released and updates immediately dry up for a year.

>>718355551
hah no. Nothing else is like OSRS. The closest you might get is Ragnarok Online but that's all combat unlike RS and Gravity's really gotten bad about bugs and cash shop exploitation in recent years.

Except maybe Palia...it's non-combat entirely other than hunting animals, but I wouldn't say it's deep.

>>718356306
Looks neat. Added it to my wishlist

>>718354989
This MIGHT work for you.

Warning: Extremely fucking janky. Then again, I thought Runescape itself was unenjoyable janky, so your mileage may vary.
https://store.steampowered.com/app/2566340/Gedonia_2/
The second game is in a pathetically raw pre-alpha state, but it feels like the dev is actually learning from the first game and shows good promise. This one I'm actually having fun with.

FUMES already came out, goober.
>>718353264
Tried Approaching Infinity. Reasonably decent. Will wait for it to go on a meaningful sale. Thanks for the rec, lad.

>>718361603
so did heartworm, but it was an older grid i made and i just updated it to have a few other outcoming games on it. didn't really filter through it and remove the ones that already came out.
also FUMES is early access, no? in its current state, is it meaningfully different from the demo or nah?

>>718361825
It has one more big boss, a few more cars (most are shite because the devs still haven't figured out how to make lighter vehicles not garbage), races, and... I think that may be it, if you already played the updated demo. If not - there's a bunch more fun shit, like different mission modes, anomalies,an extra large boss, etc.
