Last week's game: Skyrim

Final Score: (10*12+9*5+8*8+7*10+6*3+5*4+4*1+3*1+1*4)/(12+5+8+10+3+4+1+1+4) = 7.25

Game to Discuss?

Cuphead. Yep.

This week's entry will be Cuphead

Cuphead is a classic run and gun action game heavily focused on boss battles. Inspired by cartoons of the 1930s, the visuals and audio are painstakingly created with the same techniques of the era, i.e. traditional cel animation (hand drawn & hand inked!), watercolor backgrounds, and original jazz recordings. Play as Cuphead or Mugman (in single player or co-op) as you traverse strange worlds, acquire new weapons, learn powerful super moves, and discover hidden secrets. Cuphead is all action, all the time.

It was good! But it felt like it needed one more island to be an all timer (I didn't wait five years for the DLC to come out), and the run and gun stages were too obviously half baked, thrown in at the last minute because they were afraid of people reacting poorly to a boss rush only game. At least it was racist :marseyembrace:

Started playing We Happy Few. I remember it being one of those games that looked like they would never leave early access. Changing a lot of mechanics with each iteration, using proc gen for the game world, being extremely open to YouTubers playing it. In my mind, it was somewhat stuck in that ocean of indies like Hello, Neighbour and Sir, You Are Being Hunted - games that might have cool concepts but seem to have a disjointed development and little hope of fully realizing their vision. Although I saw it being officially released a few years ago, I didn't think much of it, knowing that DayZ also got plenty of official releases despite its raw nature.

The fact that it got recently added to GamePass and its Swinging Sixties aesthetic, which I am a fan of, are the only reasons I picked up We Happy Few a couple of days ago and I am definitely surprised how far the game has come since I last saw it. There is now a proper story and set pieces and what seems like even multiple characters available for a playthrough. At times you can see the proc gen world seams and remember the earlier versions of the game, but if you stick to following the quest markers, you might not notice that aspect of the game.

Honestly We Happy Few never appealed to me because all the human npcs look the same and just wear different clothes if they aren't the special mask people

Yeah. I am only about one third of the game in but the message about conformity is laid on pretty thick on the player. Same as the constant digs at the “stiff upper lip” and other British quirks. It's as if the game doesn't trust me to get the meaning on my own so it tries hammering it down through every faucet of the game. It only worsens the impact in my experience.

I'll use the anonymity I have on this site to the full for the first time ever, and admit that I have played for some time, and finished this week, a weeb game. Atelier Ayesha The Alchemist of Dusk.

I was either extremely annoyed or bored by the characters and their stupid dialogue. But I like RPG's, and this game is an RPG. Stats going up, killing monsters with bombs made in cauldron (this is canon for the story, all items are crafted in a cauldron), getting money through fetchquests which actually require you to use alchemy to get the thing to fetch. It was satisfying, even if characters were stupid and cringe.

And the alchemy system was genuinely great, it absolutely elevated the whole experience to the point that I will probably replay this game someday. It felt like the right kind of crafting, and a central piece of both gameplay and the (alright) story.

Also, it has a time limit which I actually liked. Decision-making feels more impactful when time is a resource.

In summary: don't recommend its cringe weebshit of the worst sort.

But I had fun.

It gets too sprawling for me, you just keep unlocking regions and production chains and then you get items that substitute resources in your production chain so you rip out and rebuild a bunch of your buildings and you just know you're missing out on so much optimization and Jesus Christ I can't keep track anymore. :#marseyschizowall:

I can see it get too sprawling with the DLC, I just decided to play the base game which is pretty manageable.

I have been continuing to play RimWorld, as is tradition. I've been sending drop-pods full of cats to an ally because my colony's ethos forbids the harming of cats, but simultaneously I need to keep a breeding population of them... and they breed so prodigiously that they threaten the food supply.

Me and my friend are still playing Grounded (I think it's been like half a year at this point) and I just want it to be over. We are so close! D:

I also played like an hour of Dark Souls 2 and bounced off of it immediately. The vibes were off. It's a shame because I was so into Dark Souls 1 and 3.

Got into Mount and Blade: Bannerlord recently. I'm really conflicted on this one. It holds so much promise but seems just unbelievably tedious. The things I didn't like about the earlier games don't seem to have been improved that much.

Yes, the campaign is really bad. I restarted in the sandbox mode because of it. I thought a series of loose quests would be a fun addition but it just spams you with the same three missions over and over.

It's such a bummer!
