  • Not much in that article to convince you to go and play it. I had a lot of fun with it.

    The writing was funny, the characters were also really funny, and how it all felt like an easier version of Dark Souls was appealing to me.

    I enjoyed exploring the world and all the different shells that has different abilities, although I definitely had my favorite (the DS equivalent of light armor for lean dodge rolls) there were a surprising amount of shells that were fun to use.

    I only had one bug and that was at release, where I didn’t get one of the keys necessary to fully upgrade my attack power. A bummer, but it didn’t stand in the way of me finishing the game.








  • Hey smeg that is a great post, thank you. As mentioned the Prime games are still tagged as such, so I don’t feel like I have any grounds to actually “complain”, if you can call it that.

    While I disagree with the ease of enabling a free trial and then cancelling it for a free prime game, that doesn’t really matter in the big picture. You’re doing great listing all the free stuff all the time (even during Christmas!) and I think it’s super fair and more importantly, your prerogative to do as you please.



  • Discoverability is a huge problem on Steam because there’s so many games releasing, you can’t really keep up.

    18,000 games is almost 50 per day on average. That’s 50 titles fighting for your attention and wallet every single day.

    If you don’t get noticed because you didn’t spend half of your development budget on marketing, or your game didn’t pick up well with influencers or more traditional media like reviews, you’re just kinda fucked. No matter how good your game might be.

    Speaking about quality, how many of those 18k titles were uninspiring, asset flipping slop?



  • It essentially creates a caste system where equal exchange can’t happen.

    If you experience Nitro members being seen as more important than others, you’re in the wrong Discord communities.

    I’ve never seen someone being glorified because they are a Nitro user, and although I’ve seen some member pretending to be superior because they have Nitro, they were quickly to be ridiculed and put back in their place for trying to gloat about paying for it.
