Hard platformers with banging chiptune soundtracks?
I’m really in the mood for a game like Shovel Knight after listening to some chiptune tracks the other day. Something fair, but challenging would be ideal. Must have a good soundtrack!...
Looking for game recommendations
I’m a casual gamer who’s been largely inactive for the past few decades, and so I’m looking for some some good game recommendations. I don’t mind if they’re old as long as they came out after 2003 (because that’s when graphics of many games really started improving), maybe between 2008-2019. I’m also quite a picky...
What Are Some Good Card Videogames?
I’ve been playing a lot of inscryption and while kaycee’s mod is fun, it can get a little boring after a while. Is there anything that will scratch that itch? (that’s not magic the gathering, too predatory)....
Quake 1 holds up really well!
I’ve always been familiar with Quake, but only as a multiplayer game. I’ve played a lot of arena shooters (I’m more of an Unreal Tournament fan), but for whatever reason I never got around to playing the real Quake. I didn’t really expect much considering how badly DOOM has aged, especially in terms of level design and...
What game holds a special place in your heart?
We all have that one game that holds a special place in our hearts. What game is it for you?...
Dead Space 1 (original)
I eventually got round to playing this! I had the 2008 version on Steam, so I thought I’d give it a go instead of the recent remake. Note: if you’re playing on Steam Deck, I’d recommend messing with the joystick deadzones for a smoother experience....
Metroid Dread - aside from the first few hours, one of my favorite Metroid experiences
I struggled with Samus Returns and the Prime games weren’t my vibe, so I have to go back a long way for great Metroid. After seeing good reviews and a lot of positive word-of-mouth for Metroid Dread, it was near the top of my list of games to play when I’d finally pick up a Switch....

What to play after experiencing Chrono Trigger?
Left feeling a bit empty after playing it for the first time a few months ago(why did I wait so long?) I am afraid no JRPG will be able to surpass it. Would love to have a discussion about similar games that reach the same quality level (Note: I have already played Final Fantasy VI ).

Are you holding off on any game in particular right now?
I suppose Baldur’s Gate 3 could be an example for a lot of people. Any recent or just “recent” release you are waiting for to get at the moment?
My FromSoftware journey thus far (i.imgur.com)
This will be quite long, so for those who don’t feel like reading it all, the tl;dr is: played Dark Souls III, then Elden Ring, then Sekiro, then Dark Souls 1, then replayed Dark Souls III....

I Completed my First Final Fantasy game! (lemmy.world)
I played it on my phone which nowadays is the port of the pixel remaster. I loved it and I thought it was great! I definitely felt a little overpowered due to not fleeing at all. I would recommend checking it out, I got just under 28 hours of playtime on my first run.
