Mediocre, nice visuals, short and repetitive game-play

Like action games, abstract stories, and unique visual styles? get it. The port needs a very little bit of tweaking if you want 60fps, but if you're cool with 30 the game runs fine out of the box.

The difficulty curve in SteamWorld Dig is insane, this game seems to have gotten really hard about 2.5 hours in. I was breezing through it so far and just seem to have hit a wall literally and figuratively in this game.
Funny enough, I just went through and beat it myself, starting a few days ago.
Out of curiosity, what part is giving you trouble?

Around when the mechanized/electrical part of the game started, those wall turrets in particular are giving me a hard time, I spec into drilling and inventory and kind of ignored health and water so it's making it much harder than it should be.

It was my GotY 2013 and I am willing to nominate it my GotY 2014 again due to steam ver.
There is a simple fix that'll have it running at 60 FPS and at ANY resolution you want.
Gameplay is simple but fun, and the game isn't too long.
Ehh sounds like a bad Devil May Cry knock off in term of gameplay and visual, may wait for a sale.

Anyone heard of this indie coming out called the Escapists?
Its a prison escape game, idk why but prison escape games alway catches my interest. This look like it could be fun.

A bit of confidence:
Try using the steam punch to take out the wall laser turrets. A fully charged punch, even at its nonunpgraded form, can kill a turret in one hit, plus it has dat range!

Yeah I need to get used to using it more, it took me forever to get into the habit of using the
drill and water jump/sprint
Prisonscape is also GAFfer made. Really looking forward to it
Fo'real? Who's making it?

Haha, yeah the names not great, game looks interesting at least.
Hmm, I suppose Earth: Year 2066 isn't coming back after all: Valve reinstated the store page after pulling the game, but emptied the Early Access description section, so presumably it was going to be purchaseable again after the developer submitted a more honest explanation of the game's current state and future plans, however said store page no longer exists.
I want the opposite, a game where you work to keep prisons contained and preventing them from escape. A Dungeon Keeper type game in modern settings I guess.
Yes I know Prison Architecture exists, but something more streamlined to the idea.

Edit: Oh, wow. Their kickstarter was a failure
This game deserved some attention. Sad to see such promising games failing their kickstarter goalsYeah if you get past the name, it does look interesting, definitely more mature sprite looking characters than the escapists.
Does anyone here play Paper Please?
Apparently you play as a border guard? I heard some gafers talking about it.
Time to start your own Kickstarter mate!
It's a pretty popular rougelike.

Papers Please is great, really love that game, it's a good relaxing game to play while listening to podcasts or something and it's got some pretty funny parts to it too.
Yeah, you work as a border guard for a dystopian and oppressive regime. Your job for the most part simply involves checking entrants' entry papers and details for false/conflicting information, and determining whether or not they're eligible to pass over the border. It's surprisingly enjoyable and at times very moving.

Yeah, there's no real difficulty curve in Ikaruga. First chapter is super easy, second is more difficult but still manageable aside from the wave patterns towards the middle, but from three on its just "holy shit wtf this is impossible" out of nowhere.

Not familiar with the genre, I see.
Your first play through is just a warming up phase, before the real deal starts.
Allow me to derail just once because I think this is important, but here's your request shadownet:

Escape from Butcher Bay, a game in which you escape from Butcher Bay, a prison.
I heard it was rubbishIt's a pity the Prison Break game isn't on Steam.
Was pumped for it before release. Maybe one day we will get the perfect stealth escape game.
I actually have that but haven't played it.
Does it involve a stealthy escape? Planning?

It was on sale during the Summer Sale, I made a giveaway of it that ended hours ago.
...and I don't know if I'd call it a DMC-like game. It's a hack n' slash but with emphasis on dodging and blocking enemy attacks to give you an extra edge in battling enemies.
Corrosive, post that KiD WEBM please.
I feel so stupid. Really early in Shovel Knight when you get to the first village you speak to a very affable kid called the Goatician offers you an item to upgrade your health which you give to the guy above him, the Gastronomer who will add 1 extra slot to your health bar. I thought it was odd after doing this my health was still at 4 and not 5 but you know whatever. Well when I got a second Meal Ticket the Gastronomer wasn't giving the right dialogue lines. I thought "cheeky git I got the item in my inventory". Turns out he cooks you a meal you have to flip the cover with you shovel and eat to get the upgrade. I feel like such a berk going through 3 stages on default health when I could have saved a lot of hastle. Ah well must mean I'm a pro or something.
Speaking of which some of the achievements are brutal. I'm not sure if it's going to be really fun or torture trying to max Shovel Knight out. A level destroying all checkpoints? Yeah doable. The whole game? Yeah that might take time. Finish the game without getting hit? That might be super hard.
Damn it Nabs! That sounds really slick and has me more tempted than ever to grab a DS4 now. Though I might hold out for the prices to be to a sensible level (fat chance this way though).

Truth be told, I'm not even sure what type of game it is, haha.

This guy did a pretty funny commentary on the game. Lol
Prison Break was sooo good! I loved it so much. My senior yearbook quote was "Preparation will only take you so far. After that you gotta take a few leaps of faith.
Thank you! I'm surprised you saw it. I thought it got buried like 20 pages ago!
If you're not on my friends list yet<3 I must add you!
No planning on your end. It's a lineal game. There is a lot of stealth involved, being a Riddick property, and there's a couple times where you'll be in somewhat hublike areas where you'll be able to do side quest and stuff for your fellow inmates.
It's a really good game and generally considered the best video game adaptation of any movie license.
I can't say I'm shocked that it's a cutscene-laden third-person action-adventure game.

The Chronicles of Riddick: Escape from Butcher Bay is the all time greatest prison game and The Great Escape game with Steve McQueen on Xbox and PS2(?) was actually pretty good from what I remember,but I as well, wish there were more prison based games though, such a ripe area for games that hasn't been fully explored.

First time playing, after a lot of hours, managed to build myself the biggest army in the world and right when I'm about to go full on conquer mode England achieves a cultural victory. Playing with that victory off since that time.
