It's Critter Time!

I enjoyed the demo a lot! The gameplay wasn't anything too special, but the demo only one world and most of the modifiers are locked, so it's not really clear how much it builds on itself.

The writing is fun and I really liked the visual design of the world, the stitched-together look is neat ...

Oh, I love Solatorobo! Fantastic soundtrack, too. :3

And yeah, definitely in the Fans Of Tail Concerto Series group, I've been keeping up with CyberConnect2's work since the PSX days. I even have a couple of the kemono art books they put out!

If people haven't played the Fuga: Melodies of Steel ...

RSS readers? We must go back further. Back to... The Belfry WebComics's Index!

I'll occasionally pop into Gunnerkrigg Court which I've been following it since the start- the story of a young girl joining a school/court to replace her mother as the psychopomp and mediator between the court ...

Not myself (I believe it was PS5 only?), but I heard some reactions from those who did- it sounds like the game feels a lot like Dragonball FighterZ in how it plays, but it really does let you just learn and play a single character if you don't want to switch.

The one complaint I heard was that the ...

Yeah, it's his empathy that defines him, which I really appreciate, you don't often see that in modern media, even outside of progression fantasies. Toxic masculinity is a hell of a drug.

I've been working my way through the books (currently on book 3) and really enjoying it!

I can definitely see scenes like The Hoarder fight pushing people away, they're very raw... but also, I feel they're necessary to keeping the core theme. It's very easy for media, especially variants of isekai ...

The intro to Mech Commander remains one of my faves to this day.

Thank you! <3

And oh man, I had entirely forgotten about Tatsunoko vs Capcom... something to revisit in the future I think, that game was fun.

Man, I wish these were reasonably priced, I want one bad .

BTW, does anyone have any experience with Dolphin's (GC and Wii emulator) network multiplayer? I've felt the urge to play some Bloody Roar with ...

Sonic CD and Chaotix are two of the best classic Sonic games, if not the best classic Sonic games period. They are both excellent tests of skill for people more familiar with classic Sonic gameplay and they both bring lots of unique ideas to the table in every department. I'm convinced that most ...

A Series S for most games (mouse&keyboard for first person games), and a Haute leverless for fighting games, because I can't play those with a stick to save my life.

Wow, that's some masochism right there!

A few months ago we updated my partner's PC, and I decided to turn the old one into a living room games PC. We have Steam Link set up (just using the app on our Android TV), but between the input delay, propensity to crash Steam and having controller issues when the streaming PC's Steam runs under ...

Ahh Prehistorik! Sometimes I wonder if I fever dreamed this into existence because it's just so unspoken about, but I remember this so clearly from my childhood - one of the few games we had on floppy discs but with the actual big box (most of my ...

Daikatana is much improved when you disable your "friends" so they stop getting stuck on terrain, killing you with explosive weapons or dying.

Well, and once you get out of Episode 1, that game really puts its worst foot forward.

Hi there! I've been competing in FGC Events for the last couple years, I usually go to Frosty Faustings, Combo Breaker and Midwest Mixfest. My main games are Granblue Fantasy Versus Rising & Tekken 8 but I love to dabble in pretty much everything. (I also got 4th place and got to be on stream at ...

Some love for old Titus platformers. I loved both Prehistorik games, but probably spent the most time playing Titus the Fox, just because it's so dang hard .

The first Prehistorik game is fairly simplistic, you just move left to right and need to collect enough food by the end of the level to ...

I stand corrected, those both look neat!

While not metroidvanias, 2d-platformers-but-fighting-games have been tried before!

To, err, not great results.

Which isn't to say it can't work, I've just not seen it done well (for example, while the Smash ...

SCALER , like no one I ever met knows about it and I really wish that it had more attention on it. Scaler was awesome. I should get it again and play it

This one's on my list of "obscure 2000s platformers to ...

Oh, both Hexen games are great. They have their issues*, but I think they're vastly better than Heretic (which I always found dull).
I've never played Heretic 2, but it does look dope.

* 1/128th of the puzzle has been solved!

I was just reminded of Noctis, the original No Man's Sky from ~2001. There is a huge generated galaxy of stars and planets, and you can send your weird ship to land on any of them, and even exit to do a walkabout. Even navigation is weird, you're interacting with your ship's own interface, rather ...

Boy howdy I'd love to talk about how bullshit Blood's hitscanners are. You round a corner and they immediately lock on and begin gunning you down. Trying to hit them around a corner with dynamite kind of helps but sometimes you're just that low on dynamite and need to save it for bigger crowds of ...

The itch to learn fighting games has returned

DAMN YOU SOCIAL ANXIETY WHY WON’T YOU LET ME PLAY ONLINE WITH RANDOS?!
I've been having a really good time on the Discord server scratchingway was talking about! Real nice folk who were happy to whoop my butt and didn't complain about any of the ...

The two Crusader games have banger soundtracks. ratatatatatata

Here's one that's cheating a little bit, but! The original System Shock had a very eclectic soundtrack, between its General MIDI abstractness and weird, techno electronica bops, it creates a pretty unique soundscape.

Anyway, sometime ...
