Finished this earlier. Nice little puzzler in the vein of Monument Valley, Back to Bed and Hocus. Familiar concept, Escher like puzzles where rotating the environment completely changes the level design.
It does add some interesting mechanics, multiple protaginists, switching between 2D and 3D and it even adds a Steven's Sausage Roll like mechanism where you ride a cassette tape. For you young'ins, a cassette tape was the dark age between records and cds. The only issue with some of them is that they are barely used. The fantasic 2D to 3D shift is only in one level!
Should only take about 2 hours, looks nice and even has an interesting story. Well worth your time.
Also have steam patched how categories work? All of a sudden the categories from my desktop also appear in my laptop steam.

for some reason this usb cable (the cable, not the device it's attached to) crashes all the usb devices I've plugged in with a usb power surge error message, is such a thing even possible? Took me forever to find the culprit since I've had the same devices since forever, I thought it's one of the usb ports and I was wrong, when it crashes I have to unplug/reset them which can be hard to do without an input device, making it hard to test.
I eventually narrowed it down to my dualshock 3, then during one test I didn't plug in the ds3 but only the cable, and it still crashed everything, glad I figured it out, now I can go back to playing my video games

Bloodborne combat was robbed of its place in Witcher 3.
I just started playing the first few missions of Galak-Z. I really did not expect this game to have tank controls, I was sure it would have twin stick controls instead. As always these controls are super confusing to me at first but I'm slowly starting to get the hang of it, but I'm not liking them (never did).
Um, thanks. After I applied coupon code they only asked for my billing address, no CC info and my order when through, will make a giveaway with my 5 keys if they ever arrive lol
15 hours in Zestiria, I think I'm half way through the game and I'm not liking what I'm playing, like at all. Here are my main issues with the game:
-boring main character, he is just too good. It's like playing as Superman, because there are no shades of grey in his personality.
-supporting characters are pretty bland too, just anime tropes, nothing else.
-15 hours in, and still I feel I'm in a tutorial, since the game pops up messages when I finish a fight regarding the fight system. A lot of things to do, to learn, while I win all fights just by mashing B, sometimes A, going into super-sayian mode etc. I feel all that stuff is completely useless.
-horrible navigation system: sometimes I have a star guiding me, sometimes it disappears for no reason. Stick with a decision:give me or not a marker.
-sometimes I can't teleport in and out from a dungeon for no apparent reason, so I need to backtrack to the entrance, killing all mobs in the way because wolves etc are faster than me and I can't avoid them if I run. If the level iz maze-like (Pendragon church, in example) finding the exit is painfull.
-the overworld is garbage. There are those HUGE plans with NOTHING in the middle: just some enemies in and there, a couple of chests and that's it. Here you can avoid enemies very easily, I don't understand why they created so huge locations while there's not really something to do in the middle. Like "they are huge just for the sake of being huge", travelling around is boring.
-the plot...is there a plot? I mean, the
figure is very meh, but the fact you just need to go around becoming powerfull without a real goal is very stupid. Like you reach a location and there are problems here and you need to solve them and go on.
It's not a bad game, but just a mediocre one. There are no bugs, no broken thing, it's just something...plain? Like a 6/10. I never played a Tales of before of Zestiria, I also purchased Symphonia, I hope it's much better than this because, if it's on par, I won't even bother.

It gets better as you learn the game. Someday you will be able to take those gargoyles down with a new character wearing nothing but rags for armor. Sounds silly, but experience and skill greatly pay off with Dark Souls. That rooftop fight is a fun one though!
That's just, lol.

Not all DLC is bad, but I never ever buy season passes unless I know exactly what is promised and coming with that pass. More often than not though lately, due to the nature of the industry today like you lament above, I simply wait to buy a game when the eventual Super Deluxe Game of the Year Gold Platinum Edition comes out which always includes all of the DLC anyway. Patience really does pay off when it comes to gaming today.
If a game is really good and well worth the money though I will buy DLC to support exceptional devs. Games like Euro Truck and Cities Skylines come to mind, I've bought lots of DLC for both and not regretted one penny of it.

I never have any luck with these kind of mystery key deals, so instead I went with Shelter 2 and Dark Sector. Thanks for letting us know.
And for anyone not wanting to try this because they need an address, use this.
Well keys arrived after 30 mins, as for the games... i-don-t-know-what-i-expected.gif

A little roundabout giveaway. This is for Lew Pulsipher's Doomstar, but it comes as an ITCH.IO key, that should later give you a Steam key.
Thanks to wok for the heads up!

I have lots of those old game books, they were great back in the day. Still get them out now and then too:

I guess the kinguin code doesn't work anymore? Tried before with Dead Rising 2 but they "refunded" it, now it seems invalid
Nope still works, just made my "second" purchase with different account on different IP (yeah I know I'm gonna burn in hell for misusing this).
edit: my redemption giveaway, hope the key works, says thanks to Kinguin

Maybe play the original games from the snes and ps1 era?
Yales series have a female fanbase in japan iirc which is part of why it is popular to a certain degree
Mind u not all games re for everyone but it often helpe to try out a game or two to ser if they are to one's taste.
FYI it was a duplicate.
Wow, sorry about it, so much about kinguin sellers...
Bought some Rocket League DLC, Steam gift was already redeemed. What a shit site.
Edit: And now it works. That was odd. Seems it was just a Steam error.
Shame the game was practically abandoned, to the point where the developers had to publicly apologise and seemingly claim they indeed were abandoning it

Wow, so many G2A aka Kinguin users in this thread!
I just finished Solitairica,
that's first roguelitelikeish game I finished in a while. What's roguelike about it? permadeth for one and your progress not carrying into the next game. It is an evilishly cute solitaire golf game at its core, but I liked all additions, from spells to items, to status effects and planning ahead I had to do.
I can't recommend it for perfect (100%) crowd, it's like most roguelitelikeish games require impossible amount of effort, really not worth, still a pretty nice distraction of a game, I've spent 30 hours with it (bought during last summer sale), I consider I got my money worth and then some.

No worries, just exploiting their promotion, just the way they deserve.
On a side note, just got DOOM for 28€, which is pretty good I think. I'm not even into FPS all that much but that topic in Gaming finally made me try the demo and damn, is this fun. Really looking forward to play once that huge-ass download finishes...
