Game to Discuss?

This week let's discuss Lethal Company. While no longer FOTM, it had a brief but strong period where it seemingly took over the internet (or at least my friend group). In it, you explore abandoned "Moons," searching for random garbage to sell to the eponymous company, while avoiding all sorts of horrifying creatures. Discuss below in the pinned comment.

Just started the Talos Principal 2. Fun puzzles & very kino.

It's also a pretty well-done approach to expanding the story and growing a concrete narrative from the "found documents" storytelling of the first 1.5 games without retconning the whole thing.

If you liked Portal 1 & 2, the first Talos Principle game is essentially Portal 2 (FPS physics-based puzzle game with narrative window dressing), except it's about whether machines are capable of achieving sentience rather than endlessly testing in order to satisfy a rogue AI. TTP1 also has a good bit of hidden content and at least 3 different endings.

Been playing 2 as well, it's been pretty good so far but I'm also only half done, tp1 was one of my favourite games of all time. It is just more of the same though so if you're not into the philosophy of the game it's basically just more puzzles with similar rules

Did you also play the Road to Gehenna expansion?

I thought it had such a cool parallel between the puzzles & story: the story is "outside" the original narrative + you have to keep using the space outside of all the individual puzzles and make them work together in order to solve them

I actually only played the original for the first time very recently so I just decided to wait until 2 came out so I wouldn't get tired of it. Thanks for the recommendation though that actually sounds more like what I was hoping for for 2, I'll add it to my list.

Replays of TTP1 suffer bc the first 2/3 of the game are designed to slowly introduce you to each new game mechanic right when you've just mastered the previous one. The pacing is really excellent, but once you know everything the first few puzzles are no longer interesting or challenging.

Gehenna throws you right into the deep end, assuming you already know how to use all the puzzle cowtools. The story sections you read in the terminals are way more interesting too, and you can see the genesis of a lot of the 'Interface' stuff they introduced in TTP2. In Gehenna there's even an entire text-based RPG you can play in one of the terminals lol
