It saddens me that Sektori came out too late to be on these lists, because they are effective marketing for indies and it’s one of the finest games ever made. It works flawlessly, is Linux friendly and is polished to a shine. It’s very opinionated design, but the opinions are in my opinion all correct and the overall game is a wonderful sequel to Geometry Wars. The only thing it’s missing right now is 2-player (at least) coop.
I will be playing Silksong until the winter sale, but I can recommend this for the sale price that they’re asking (0.75€ at the moment).


The big problem is how to make it fun for those who are not space nerds. They are making a game for hundreds of thousands of players with a budget of a game for tens of millions. They are getting funded for a feline-shaped bag, once it’s out chances are it’ll be so aggressive, mangy and moody no one will want to play with it. Aiming at a reticle projecting where the enemy will be when the shots land for 30 hours with occassional explanations by hollywood b-listers is not everyone’s cup of space tea.


Let’s just throw higher res textures at every 3D game that works good on Steam Deck until it’s unplayable. Days Gone used to be locked 48FPS for me and it’s pretty fucked these days and it looks a tiny bit better to a tiny bit worse depending on how dark you tolerate your night.
Please note Techland, I’ll just change my review to negative and uninstall your game forever if it works any worse or sparks any less joy than the version you haven’t fucked.


The best possible outcome, I’m very happy to see Sony tripping over their shoelaces. Maybe games need to cost more? Surely 90$ always-online console exclusives with day one DLCs and season passes, with gacha rewards and cosmetics that can be rejiggered into stat-boosting are the answer if they can also be made tepidely inoffensive with a story cobbled exclusively from tvtropes archetypes.


Private servers are not always a viable alternative option for players as the protections we put in place to secure players’ data, remove illegal content, and combat unsafe community content would not exist and would leave rights holders liable.
Just make people sign one of those “I understand there’s no guarantees this’ll work or won’t rape me” when they download the private server software, you fucking corporate snakes.
whilst the game is not officially supported on the Steam Deck, it runs fine on it, as it has a native Linux port, although I had to move to PC for that Metropolis level as it was starting to lag
You mean Windows, a PC is actually what runs Linux in this case. Just wanted to say Linux port usually has worse performance than DirectX ran through Proton, it makes more sense running a Windows version on Linux than the native version.
Yeah, I stand by it, ever noticed how effectivness of weapons and general strategy changes when the new wARbOnD drops? They are fiddling with the knobs to make people pay more and there’s way too many opportunities to spend money. And an ingame currency they control how fast you acquire. It’s not as bad as some other games, but I don’t play those.
Remedy, you could have sold to Microsoft if you’re going to make their mistakes anyway. Control is one of my favorite games ever, but its assets are not all that, especially once you remove the central third-person figure. If I wanted to play a live service game, I’d play Deep Rock Galactic (much better gameplay, deformable terrain, no-FOMO seasons) or Helldivers 2 (shit monetization but it’s got mortar turrets that flong shit in a parabolic arc that never gets old). Nota bene: when I see shit like “watch three hours of Twitch to get this skin”, I automatically despise your game. I hope you haven’t overextended and this turd is really cobbled together quickly from textures and models you had lying around.


Sektori, it’s the best game I’ve played in a long time.
