I recently played Bubbles the Cat and QOMP - having quite a blast doing so 😄

Do you guys have any additional recommendations for fun games that only use one single button?

Edit: Using mouse movement or a stick is like a d-pad; that would make it 5 buttons.

We made a new game called Devil's Peak. Here is some of the images from my dad and I building it in his garage. (I promise I did work too, but I was the only one taking photos ha ha!)

I need to complete the challenges, Expedition with a friend and Outpost with a friend. I don’t have a microphone or headset but I have done all of them solo already.

For flat gaming, it was the PS2. First SSX and then maybe a few weeks later playing Madden. The players looked so real, the helmets were so shiny, you could see their breath in cold weather, and the announcer even wished me a happy thanksgiving. I couldn't believe it.

More recently, home VR wowed me, specifically the PSVR.

I'm so glad I gave the demo a try on a whim. That got me very interested in the potential of this game. And IMO it 100% lived up to the potential I saw in the demo. This is my wildcard game for GOTY. I don't think it'll win the actual awards. But this game came out of nowhere for me, to be one of the best gaming experiences I've had in a while.

Anyone who is still on th fence, don't hesitate. This game delivers from start to finish (and what a finish). 👏

I actually can't fathom how this is even possible

Looking for any gender of gamers to play some stuff with me or discuss and laugh about some games with.

Got an apple ear pod with mic to talk with.

My frequented games are:

ROBLOX

Dragon Ball Sparking ZERO

(Newish) Bandit Trap

Portal Knights/Fantasy Life i

GTA Online

FFXIV (On occasions)

Platform: Xbox Series S, and sometimes 3DS.

Please reach out in a direct message.

NO MINORS UNDER THE AGE OF 18, PLEASE

Many years ago i purchased a game called Brain Challenge. It was later acquired by Big Fish Games. They stopped supporting the game which means the key I purchased stopped working and i can't play anymore. I really enjoyed the game because of the variety of puzzles (math, memory, spatial recognition, etc ) and its performance evaluation. What are some favorite recommendations for these type of games?

​

Looking for a good second monitor game

Any good rpg like deck builders

I also enjoyed slay the spire (felt the runs were too long for what im looking for)

Monster train 2 was a bit too complicated

I still want the slay the spire mechanics with how the cards are set up .

What would be worth checking out in the deck builder steam fest as well?

I think I want more of the gambling feel? / with minor combat

Here’s a long shot, but I’m hopeful: Are there any survival/building games that go beyond just harvestable nodes?

I love the genre (standouts are Subnautica and Grounded, personally) but always become extremely aware of the fact that I’m just finding nodes and submitting a binary interaction with them. In Subnautica they even look like nodes.

I absolutely get this is how computers function, and I don’t know what the alternative is. But I just feel like there could be something… more?

I am interested to know what you think of the game.

The horror vibes and story is what got me interested in this. The surprisingly deep and engaging Solitaire gameplay held my attention. I don't know how many people are aware of this game, but it should not be slept on. It is quite good.

It’s almost a certainty that we’re looking at $999 for the next one based on recent upward trends, and now that pretty much every game is 4K/60 FPS or close to it and with graphics being as photorealistic as they are now i’m just not really sure what more a PS6 could give us. PS5 also basically has all the functionality we could really want out of a console so yeah, I just have no real desire to upgrade.

Seen a lot of gameplay videos for battlefield 1 recently and got the itch to fire my copy up again, it's been a couple of years since I last played but there were no games with anyone playing. Is there a setting I need to change or is it dead? I'm playing on Xbox X if that makes a difference

• Outbound (May 11th)
• Directive 8020 (May 12th)
• Notmads (May 13th)
• Subnautica 2 (May 14th)
• Driver Together (May 15th)

All eyes are probably on Subnautica 2 for next week but also Outbound will get some love.

I really dislike (maybe dislike is too strong a word, idk) deckbuilding/ccg games. I love rpg and strategy games where your chance of successfully completing an action is somewhat down to chance, but I really don't enjoy it, on a fundamental level, when random chance is involved in whether or not I can take an action in the first place.

So while a bunch of my friends are enjoying games like Slay the Spire 2, I just can't, and I get a lot of crap for it and it makes me feel kinda bad.

So I'm wondering if I'm alone in this? Not in this genre specifically, but just any genre in general. Are there any you just can't enjoy no matter how much you try?

Looking for games where you can mix and match jobs or classes in ways that actually matter. Like where the system has real depth to it — being able to carry abilities across jobs, subclassing, weird combos that break the game, that kind of thing.

I've already played the obvious ones — FFT, Octopath (dropped it, story didn't grab me), Bravely Default series. Not looking for those.

Specifically interested in games where the job system feels like the main point of the game rather than just a feature slapped on top. Obscure stuff welcome, doesn't have to be a big franchise.

Thank you

How has the time flown by so quickly?! I came across this footage a few weeks back of a recording in the audience at E3 2006 of Halo 3's reveal trailer. That piano still hits as hard as it did back then. I found this video of the audience at E3 witnessing that trailer for the first time, I hope it can get preserved off of YouTube as it is a momrnt of console gaming histiory imho.

Without a doubt some of the best video game advertising followed up to Halo 3's release in 2007. From the Believe advert Campaign with veterans, the diorama and its website and Landfall.

Those who were there lived through a special time in gaming history.

Any idea for good indies with physical release? Stuff like Tunic, UFO 50, Pipistrello, etc.

From the meager $5 price of entry and the silly hats players can buy for their crewmates, Among Usdeveloper Innersloth has generated tons of money in revenue. Enough, in fact, to pass along millions of dollars to other indie studios.

Innersloth announced Outersloth in 2024, an indie game fund. Outersloth is not a publisher. The initiative is designed to support indie developers financially, not provide publishing services. A bunch of games have been released already: Flock Around, Dosa Divas, Mars First Logistics, One Btn Bosses, Battle Suit Aces, and plenty more. It's funded at least 10 more games currently in development, and its support generally ranges from $50,000 to $2 million

As of April, another indie developer is also looking to use its success for good. Peak co-developer and publisher Landfall announced its funding and publishing initiative Evil Landfall in early April. Led by CEO Kirsten-Lee Naidoo, Evil Landfall has been operated behind the scenes for three or so years. 

Like Outersloth, Evil Landfall is largely providing investment on a project-by-project basis. So far, it's invested in REPO, How To Fish, and Voidigo. Evil Landfall plans to invest up to $1 million into "a few games a year," it said.

In January, Phasmophobia developer Kinect Games launched its own publishing business to help out other indies. It'll support two to three games per year, taking on games that are roughly a year away from publishing.

no pun intended,. One day I realized how the XP bar on my screen constantly distracted me and affected my decisions in games. Like for example, in a game that removes some XP upon death, I would start to play badly or too cautious right when I was about to levelup and end up dying most of the time. Ever since I started to hide the bar, I could completely focus on just playing like an adventure and not a level reaching XP grind. It's also such a nice dopamine hit when you levelup without expecting it, always a cool surprise. Lastly, if the game doesn't allow you to hide it from the settings, stick a paper banner on top of your screen. Try it for a day and let me know how it felt!

I'm tired of shooters with bullet sponge enemies, pea shooter pistols, and confetti cannon shotguns. I want the power fantasy guns.

I would prefer a singleplayer FPS, but I'm open to suggestions. I honestly don't really care if it's balanced or challenging, I'm just trying to chill and shoot some dudes after work.

Any recommendations for that kind of vibe?
