Desynced got 1.0 today as well, demo is still up.

First impression of Gangs of Sherwood is awesome! You can play as Robin Hood with a bow, Marian has retractable chain sword, throw daggers and stealth. Friar Tuck is support & heal and Little John is mixed with a mech arm.

OP reviews usually mean a good distance from technical issues as well as design mistakes rather than game is good on its own so I'm fine with its "quality measurement".

Something I would like a summary of aspects most commonly complained about like is tech issues the most common complaint and if so what scenarios. Fortunately If I'm on the fence I can get that from AI. Recent Grok 4.2 Beta is great with this.

i don't care about people's reviews, as long as it's not mostly negative, i don't even look them up

Dev confirmed 1348 Ex Voto gets GFN support! I'll probably sign up again later in the year provided RTX 5080 has support for the games I want to play.

It's a pity that Aztecs The Last Sun received only mildly positive reviews because it looks great. I found another Aztec strategy game that has VP reviews but it's really dull art design. Fortunately EA released in September so it's early.

Ex Voto looks great but Min GPU RTX 3060 though xD

oh, thanks for reminding me about Banquet for Fools, been waiting for that.

But my most wanted game here is Ex Voto, I'm going to buy it on launch probably.

Stario Haven Tower seems similar to News Tower in case anyone wasn't aware of it.

What the.. I wasn't aware of it! Thanks. I can report Pompeii The Legacy gets 1.0 April 6. So far VP reviews.

I've been avoiding adventure and strategy for too long. RPGs are great but I suck at multi tasking with them so I'll continue to avoid them for a while with some exception. Banquet for Fools gets 1.0 later today as example :D

apart from HoSF there's also Stormbinders, but that one doesn't have a date yet

I had News Tower on my ITAD list, bumped up the price. Currenty pruning it so ~90% are at €5 unless special game mechanics, VR, unusual art design or OP quality hehe

btw Heroes of Science & Fiction is getting 1.0 in less than 2 weeks! I thought the background is too similar to units but it might be habit issue. Good to have a backup if Olden Era has a bad EA situation.

from kinda similar games, you should also check out News Tower

it seemed light, but as your rat city gets bigger and bigger, more issues are coming up, and you need to rebuild and relocate stuff to make it more efficient

I added Ale Abbey to wishlist. I got Gangs of Sherwood, apparently most issues are in on coop especially with more than 3 players and specific scenarios.

Some described it as lighter than Oxygen not Included, I appreciate that even if I think ONI is a great game on its own.

yeah, I played it for a bit. I liked it, there is a lot of things you do manually at the beginning, but then you can kinda automatise some things. The game Ale Abbey is kinda similar in that way

Keev, have you tried Ratopia? It looks interesting. You need to micro manage each rat's personal economy, it seems quite unique. I found some QoL mods on Nexus too. Going to try the demo.

Browsing Kickstarter I found Bel's Fanfare that received 20x the goal; it's a Zelda inspired adventure and a sci-fi cRPG BioSynth: Rising. Only 29% goal but 29 days left (kicktraq trend is ~460%) I checked Darkhaven on Kicktraq too, trend is ~119%. It was sad to see projects that has less than half the time less and got 0% of the goal. :(

Fear Effect 2 port also released, but it's pretty straightforward

Defiance remaster is great! You can swap to classic look and remaster lighting is separate setting as well. Sound better overall and the auto face camera is a life saver, that old fixed camera could really mess up gameplay. Controller support too. Not playing it now but I'll likely pick it up in the summer.

Khiimori, Esoteric Ebb RPG and LoK Defiance remaster all got positive reviews so far.

The Legend of Khiimori EA release today. No reviews so far.

Finished the original Black Ops. Was alright, finally found the source of the WHAT DO THE NUMBERS MEAN, MASON, nosense.

MBS authorized Saudi military to return fire against Iran. Oman reports being attacked by Iran too but unfortunately they moved an oil tanker to block Hormuz so it will spike oil prices driving on the escalations..

I never got into RE games but I'll pick them up after Frame is released.

Disable resize bar if you want to reduce stuttering. :)

6 hours in, RE Requiem is pretty fun so far!

GOG started last year with "year reviews". I admit they are developing their site quite well and Galaxy works considerably better than the beta, just a pity I feel like I should get any game with VR potential on Steam.

Sable and Synergy has unusual graphics like cel shaded paper. I just tried an upcoming game, Calx, that is like a 3D MV. Eerie atmosphere but fun puzzle, combat and platforming.

Keev, try Luna Abyss! I can see inspiration from Mass Effect and Dead Space, possibly Dark Messiah but sci fi environment.

haha, ouch. I still haven't played half the strategy games I bought recently but I bulked up for easy to start & paus games for when I move.

I see the chances of me actually playing it in this year at around 3% xd

Do recap what you think about it :)

Bought xd

Those mountain rails, art design, weather system, the harmony looking society when it's finished.. odd 50% release discount though.

Keev, did you try Truckful?

Creator of Islets is working on Well Dweller, looks intriguing. I'm going to have 20+ unplayed MVs when I return to them lol

Iran is so ♥♥♥♥♥♥. I got update they even attacked US military in Abu Dhabi ..
Obviously Bahrain and Qatar are too small to pose a threat but now they will unite Middle East to assist with intel for US & Israel.

Give this man another fifa prize

Woke up seeing news Israel did an pre emotive strike on Iran, US has joined them. Reason it took time was to get adequate military force to defend bases against proxies.

Esoteric Ebb might be one of the better indie RPGs in years. Creator said on X his favourites are Planescape Torment and Disco Elysium.

Oh and Zero Parades seems solid but I'm waiting, need to finish Disco first.

Keev, I tried Outband. You were right, full release will be great!

MineMogul have potential in 1.0 but it feels like Factorio if personal due to FPS.

Most surprising was Modules. You can even enter each assembly plant and change details. Feels like retirement game but I'll get it one day.

Dark Switch might be fun but it was too early and demanding.

Even easier than previous news aggregator I had but less data overall. Filter to Severity 4 / 5 is neat in case one wants to be up to date on genuine crisis and not just media hyperbole

I agree but Steam Frame likely will require games on Steam list. Even though I'm not fond of EA app either at least it's simpler than ubisoft and you can put it in offline mode and play through Steam if you bought it there. Ubisoft offline requires tricking the app, there's no option anymore.

Far Cry Primal is fun. But buying Ubi games on Steam isn't ...

Far Cry Primal is 10 years old, Ubisoft stock is back to 2011 and yet they keep Denuvo. CEO praised his own decision of appointing his own son as co CEO too..
It's on heavy discount though and I want to replay it with Frame.

Oh nice. Islanders New Shores has a discount; Sir Whoopass on Humble too!

I just tried Docked. Lowest settings, lock 30FPS, dynamic res, opened my window and my CPU still hit 70C! Nonetheless game is very much fun if you enjoy logistics. Good to stress release especially if one is tired of combat based games.
