Anyone could recommend me some multiplayer or coop tycoon, strategy, management or simulation (something like Rimworld, Gnomoria) games? I already got stronghold HD and stronghold crusader HD but I would like to get few more while sale is still on. I heard about offworld trading company but reviews were not best. Thank you for recommendations.
Motorsport Manager?
Got it free for Xbone from that E3 Mixer stream thing, and played a couple hours of it. Short shitty review: has a cool atmosphere and I was intrigued by the concept and what was going on, but the gameplay felt kind of clunky and bad. Didn't ever go back to it.
I really liked it, the atmosphere is great and I personally thought the gameplay was interesting also, it plays more like a puzzle game in sa sense than say a metroidvania.

Going in the dungeon with two plague doctors to go with my jester and archer was the worst decision ever, whole party got annihilated.

Thanks, the jump scares are what concern me XD.
Well I'll consider getting it now, but I won't start buying games til 12ish hours from now (I've been holding off all this time XP)
Lords of Shadow 2 has some good gameplay going for it but also some bad gameplay; it's a mixed bag. Among its weaker points are its stealth areas, which by late game just seem pointless and only exist to extend the gameplay time ever so slightly.
I plan on replaying it soon myself, but if you like Action/Hack n' Slash style games, def. give it a play.
I picked up RE7...... Super stoked. I also Wanna pick up Neir Automata but I dont just wanna get it if im not gonna play it for months.
Everybody should go pick up Prey and Dishonored 2! Dont sleep on those games! They're worth 60, getting them for 40 and 20 is a steal. Those games are god damn incredible.

I thought pre-DLC Darkest Dungeon was actually pretty forgiving (minus the final dungeon). Characters don't die when they reach 0 health, and having good stress heals makes it really easy to deal with stress. If you account for RNG and make backup plans for when your characters miss (read: have heals and stress heals/protect), the game isn't really that bad. The most uncontrollable thing in the game is unfamiliarity - with the mechanics, and with the dungeons/bosses.
And you can brute force your way past the initial unfamiliarity with the Point-Blank Shot Highwayman and Shadow Fade Grave Robber. Not the best party comp by any means, but it was idiot-proof enough to carry me while I stumbled through the dungeons.

Alright Unexplored is pretty good! The presentation put me off at first but the game itself is so good. Just had a run where I came to the fourth floor and I had to have a torch on me at all times... then of course it goes out the moment I'm stuck in a room with a bunch of animal.XD

It starts out fine but loses steam overtime. When I replayed it some weeks ago, I had some fun with its mechanics but the overall game dragged on.
Hope you didn't forgot about the shitty space harrier segment
)))Bayonetta would be a much better game if these two were optional for chapter award rankings
Haven't you heard? It's officially the best! https://twitter.com/prozdkp/status/882029864584269824

How's multiplayer working in Motorsport Manager? I already got it on phone and it didn't catch my interest very much.
Already got it.
Thank you for suggestions. I'm still looking for more.
i want it so badly, but im waiting to find it at a low price. humble bundle destroyed my will to buy soon

Getting what you want when you want it, is a price factor that shouldn't be underestimated.
it is, and thats why i suffer everyday, searching the web for that deal!

Are there any good games similar to Amnesia on Steam for ~5 euro? My GF loves that kind of horror game and we've already finished all the Frictional games, Outlast, Alien: Isolation and A Machine for Pigs, but I can't find many others that don't super low budget. I guess there's Layers of Fear, but given that it's not at its historic low price I'm thinking I may wait to see if it goes lower in the Halloween sale...
Also, has anyone here played Velvet Assassin? She loved that one and has enjoyed stealth-with-shooting-elements games like Sniper Elite v2 and Hitman: Blood Money, but she hasn't really been enjoying the newer entries of those franchises as the levels are to big and open for her tastes.
Thanks!

But you're doing it wrong then.
The best deal is the best price available when you really want it, not the deal that might be the historically lowest price.Bundle prices and similiar stuff is something I only consider for games I might want to try, but not feeling an urge to play immediately.

Agreed, I know Kamiya likes those type of throwbacks to games that influenced him but damn, those sequences go on for so long.

Heya folks, are there any games that have a good sense of exploration and discovery? The kind of games that scratch the same itch I get from Souls games.
Though those are mostly not Action RPG's - there is still some exploration and discovery to be found: The Long Dark, Hyper Light Drifter, The Witness, Don't Starve, Sunless Sea, Salt & Sanctuary, Axiom Verge, Obduction.
Brink was dead when I bought it all those years ago, even on launch I couldn't find anyone to play with online and the AI is terrible. I believe I've played it three times tops.
Hollow Knight absolutely nails the exploration aspect, with its astounding world design and the map mechanic, which forces you to actually explore by yourself instead of just looking at the map all the time. It really felt a lot like Dark Souls to me in that aspect.
Buy 1 & 2. Damn amazing games.
Well if you have never played Dead Space 2 before I would absolutely suggest you to pick it up. Saying it's the best in the series probably doesn't mean all that much but it used to be an amazing game and I'm sure it still holds up well today.
For someone who never heard anything of Ys, do I start with Origin?
Grabbed it thanks! I'm new to humble but this has to be a price error, right?

Yes, Origin is a good starting point. Alt. you can also start with Oath in Felghana.

Anyone know how I upgrade equipment in Darkest Dungeon? How do I get Heroes Resolve, also how do I upgrade my inventory? Thanks
the fact that the 10-15 min space harrier segment is before the fucking best most hypest boss fight in the game is INFURIATING
Thanks for the nudge on this. I played (and loved) Dead Space 1 & 2 on the 360 way back when but both are ripe for a replay in higher res and frame rate.
£5 for both is utterly bargaintasticle.
In fact, I think a lot of my PC gaming (I'm new to this) will be revisiting old favourites, but with better performance.

Yeah, that and the bike sequence nearly ruins the pacing of a replay for me.

I got most of that list except The Long Dark, Axiom Verge and Obduction. I'll check them, thanks for recs.
Got that too. Planning to play after I'm done with Hyper Light Drifter. Good to know its got that exploration aspect down.
Seems I'm all good for exploration and discovery games
Thanks fellas!UcchedavÄda

You upgrade equipment at the blacksmith, whom you need to upgrade using heirlooms. You get resolve by completing missions, which earns you xp (longer missions earn more xp) eventually leveling up your resolve. You cannot upgrade trinkets in your inventory, but you earn them from completing missions and by finding them during missions.
Edit: if you mean the size of your inventory during missions, then you cannot upgrade that.

They ran out of codes it seems.
Consider getting it from Play Asia as they have copies that go for around $9

You can try but you will probably be denied since you're over 2 hours. Did you google to make sure there wasn't a fix? Telltale has had their share of problems with disappearing save files.
I didn't get a badge for it.
Maybe it takes a while to receive the badge?
EDIT: I missed clicking on a sticker on one of the pages. I have the badge now!
