Their story based games feel higher budget, the controls start out serviceable but get better.
I think Wolf is the best controlling of the games I’ve played, but I might change my mind after Season 4. S4 is definitely the best looking so far

Thanks for the info! Monkey Island might be fun for a rainy day, never played the originals

Season 3 was pretty bad, everyone was so shiny! 4 is good so far. Art style is back and improved + the gameplay is way better (combat!)
I think they somehow added part of the style to the previous games too, if you wanted to replay them anyway 👀

And you’re right about Wolf, if it were a tv show I’d never hit skip on the intro. Hopefully season 2 is still happening?

Edit: on the art -

“Graphic Black” art style brings Season 4’s enhanced visual style to all previous seasons. Also includes full dynamic lighting to episodes that previously did not receive this upgrade.

Thank you!

Included:

• The Walking Dead: The Telltale Definitive Series
  3 great games and 1 rough, give this a shot if you haven’t yet! I’m replaying it and it still stands up. There’s a lot of hours here
• The Wolf Among Us
  urban fantasy, nice and grim
• The Expanse: A Telltale Series
• Tales of Monkey Island: Complete Season
• Batman - The Telltale Series
• Batman: The Enemy Within - The Telltale Series

Didn’t play the bottom 4, so not sure on the quality. Tales From the Borderlands is currently free with prime, too! Worth a playthrough

These titles are so bad

THE 👏 BEST 👏 PEOPLE

The lack of accent is an odd choice, I agree! Maybe they went the Chernobyl route (fitting) where they let the voice actors use their regular voices so they wouldn’t have to be faking an accent the whole time? I thought it worked well there. Thanks for the rundown, might have to preorder it!

How is it looking? I haven’t been following, only saw part of the documentary (it was hard to watch in the background) and know pretty much nothing

Against the Storm is the game I was trying to think of for this, thanks for sharing it!

Exactly! Creatures that peek around corners and slide back away when you look toward them, monsters that follow your eyesight to dodge attacks, etc.

It could be great!!

Any ideas? I’ve wondered the same, don’t really vibe with the 4X pattern but I like the slow snowball

I want a VR shooter that actually uses the tech interestingly. Give me sections of Zero G with full 6dof. Give me quirky weapons with panels you slide open when they overheat and barrels that twist to change firing mode. Give me abilities that I could only use with a virtual pair of hands, like slingshotting grenades without dropping my primary or reaching into things to grab loot. Also make the gunplay feel like Pavlov because it’s the best.

Easy enough, right? 😅

Probably saves a lot of battery!

The lua sdk is great btw!

Hello, thank you 👋 The niche toys are my favorite! Someone made an orrery app, which is like a solar system simulator. I have this year’s eclipse bookmarked because it’s neat

Mars After Midnight was fun!

Unfortunately it’s still ~$100 just to make the thing, so halving the price doesn’t sound likely. It’s definitely a device you have to use intentionally because of the screen, but I still play mine at least few times a week (and daily when I’m pomodoroing!)

Plus you get 3 months of included games! A bit harder to become ewaste so fast when you’re playing something new every week

Heck yeah, I think that’s a good reason! 💛 Hopefully they ship out by mid-December, Christmas is on a Monday so you’d have a few season 1 games that morning!

Cheers, happy Halloween!

Save up for season 2, it’ll be like a game book club! Maybe we can finally make a playdate lemmy community 😭
