And it’s a great game at that

For Dispatch-likes, perhaps other Telltale games would interest you. The Wolf Among Us was really good if I remember correctly. And the Walking Dead games were… a lot, emotionally, but good stories, the first one especially.

But gosh there’s just so many games out there. Maybe a Breath of the Wild playthrough would be up your alley.
A Hollowknight let’s play might be a bit boring, but I’m certain a lore video would be engaging.
Thomas Was Alone - that’s an older game so I couldn’t tell you if there’s any good videos of it, but it’s great.
Along similar _old lines, BioShock games are good. And Dishonored in that same era/vein.

Killer Frequency might also be in the realm of Dispatch. Potentially Potionomics as well.

And any and all Supergiant games I think are great to watch or play. Loads of content in that company. And great songs :3

Heavy Rain is the best if someone’s got the SHAAAWN glitch.

I don’t remember if I’ve ever seen Womble’s Goose Game. I love this so much.

I’m a goose

Seconded

Also vector pinball is very good

Arcade racers that aren’t just… Bad.

Burnout Revenge was a beloved game of my childhood. You had bonuses from wrecking your foes, got bonuses for creating wrecks, and for near death experiences. And there was an awesome mode where you would launch your car into a scene to cause as much damage as possible.

Midnight Club 2 where you could customize your cars and race them on fun tracks, but could also just beep around the open world.

Maybe it’s nostalgia, but I would love a fun racing game that doesn’t have a GTA attached to it.

‘Puzzles’ that are just fetch quests for numbers or pieces of something.

It’s so boring and such a waste of my time.

Let me circle these four pillars to find the numbers on them and plug them into the whatever keypad. Wowie. What a head scratcher. I sure feel like I solved a thing, boy howdy.

Something something Kairi’s heart something something Riku! Something something

I’ve been using an Xbox pro controller for a while on my Mint setup, just plugged in. I can’t get the Bluetooth to connect and I assume it’s because I need to update the drivers for the controller via Windows. 🤷 Whatever.

But my controller bit the dust somewhat recently, so I grabbed a PS5 controller this time and it works right out of the box, no issue. I haven’t tried the Bluetooth to be honest because I’m so used to playing plugged in, but meh. The little trackpad thing on the PlayStation controller also works well as a mouse trackpad when I’m far away from my PC (like if I have it running in the living room instead of at a desk).

I think this is one of the reasons why Pathfinder 2e has been doing so well.

It’s a middle ish ground and it feels good to progress.

My current issues with it are how underpowered the items are. So boring.

SOMA is one of my all time faves.
The Outlast Games are also classics for Halloween

They usually do. Killing Floor 2 is still going strong. I’ve heard pretty bad things about KF3

Ahh. Nice! Thanks for the info. This sounds a lot better imo.

I don’t really have time to watch this ending - how does it go? What’s different from the original?

I don’t mind spoilers, I’m not playing the game. I just have been watching a friend who really didn’t like the original ending.

For The King 2

It’s definitely got some issues, especially with camera angles, but my friends and I have been having a good time with it. The campaigns are shockingly short, but that makes it way more doable with friends. We all know coordinating time is difficult

I don’t think it’s strictly 3d, but I’ve heard really good things about Cassette Beasts. The gameplay looks good and the art is cute.

TemTem on steam is 3d through and through. I played it forever ago and it was rather enjoyable as a Pokemon breakaway. There were some fun synergies. However it’s apparently kinda gone downhill since launch, so I’m not sure how worthwhile it is

Yaaaay! The demo was so much fun. This is grea

I’ve had full servers of people just meowing, which was fantastic, or RPing when shot and going down. “Help me sarge! Gah. It-it hurts!”

Oh, and Dog Pile is fun too. For a suika like deck builder. I’ve had some good easy fun with that one too

It’s not Next Fest specific, but the Ball X Pit demo has absolutely grabbed me by the throat and won’t let go.

I’ve played like 5 hours of just the demo alone and I cannot wait for the full release.

OP, if you have a VR setup, Pistol Whip is absolutely worth it if you like games like beat saber. Even without trying to shoot on beat, it’s a blast. There are a bunch of songs that are one offs, and there are two campaigns (or there were last time I played, there might be more). The devs are awesome, the guns are fun, and it’s a hell of a workout.

As someone still halfway through SilkSong, I am immune

I’ve been playing a lot of SilkSong but I took a break today.

I loved Hollow Knight and I really really enjoy parts of Silk Song, but I am struggling with how punishing some of these fights and death runs are.

Yahoo! I’ve been looking forward to this one

Dung beetle boss never fails to make me laugh

Trials Evolution would like a word

This is an older pull, but the Army of Two series was a ton of fun. Coop third person shooters with no more plot than your average action movie. It’s great, lol

Sword of the Sea!

Unfortunately I haven’t been able to play much because there’s a spot in what I would call chapter 2 where the game kept crashing and dying. I tried so many things to make it work and nothing came of it.

Finally , last ditch effort, went through the process of upgrading from Mint 21.2 to Mint 22. And now it seems to be working! Yahoo!

Buuuut now I’m going somewhere this weekend and I won’t be able to play, lol. C’est la vie

I mean I don’t start over. I try to start the game I’m already 75% done with lol

I guess it’s time to dump another 20 hours into trying to remember how to play Hollow knight and to see if maybe this time I can actually beat it

I was thinking that too. Her animations are awesome

I joined a rocket league tournament at a comic-con! But the servers went down just as we were about to play, lol, so I never got to try

This kinda isn’t in the same genre as normal racing. But Lonely Mountain Downhill is a game where you’re mountain biking and trying to go faster and faster to beat certain goals or personal records. It’s adorable and fun

Of course they do

I definitely was running for my absolute life, you’re not wrong.

Ahhh thank you. That did it :))

I played maybe five hours of 3 and maybe it was because I was older than for the previous two, but the sunny “we’re friends and everything is so positive and love and sunshine” was really really grating. It felt like it was way more excessive than the first two, but, again, could be the ages I played them at.

Otherwise it played… Okay? The Disney things were stupid. It felt pretty blah otherwise. Nothing remarkable.

I think that might be part of it. For a lot of people, it was that the formula was old and tired. I know Odyssey did fairly well, but it’s still just an AC game

This game will forever live in my heart as an absolute masterpiece. I cry every time I play it because something about it just completely sucks me in.
