I grabbed a bunch of smaller games for my steamdeck that I’ve been wanting to try:
Noita - you’re a wizard in a rougelike physics sandbox environment
Super Meatboy - precision platformer ($1.25)
Cave Story+ - old Metroidvania platformer I never got around to finishing on console years ago
Fez - 2D/3D puzzle platformer
DIG - “Spelunky meets Enter the gungeon & Broforce” action rougelike platformer
Super Blood Hockey - old school arcade style hockey, pixel graphics (and has multiplayer split screen)
Binding of Isaac - never played it, gonna see what all the hype is about. Action rougelike
Tunic - old school LoZ style RPG
Pizza Tower - sonic the hedgehog on crack
Dave the Diver - dive, catch fish, sell fish in restaurant, buy better gear, dive, catch bigger fish, repeat…
Cursed to Golf - deck building rougelike with golf mechanics
Monster Sanctuary - 2D Pokémon platformer
Resident Evil 3 - cause it was $10 and I just finished 2
Absolutely loved tunic. It's a blast going in blind.
I finished the game and immediately bought a Tunic T-shirt just so I'd remember how much I liked the game. My only piece of videogame apparel
I played the demo a while back and it seemed pretty generic. What did I miss from only 30 minutes of gameplay?
Oh man... like everything?
I describe the game as "Holy shit, I didn't know I could do that" the game.
The game is all about secrets, did you get as far as looking into the in-game game manual? It's vital, and none of it is obvious.
There's also a lot of NES/SNES Nostalgia, if you don't miss through leafing through game manuals or issues of EGM this might not hit for you as much as it did for me.
A lot of folk bounce off the game because the combat is too difficult, or because the puzzles are too obtuse. Personally I loved it though.
