A gaming community free from the hype and oversaturation of current releases, catering to gamers who wait at least 12 months after release to play a game. Whether it's price, waiting for bugs/issues to be patched, DLC to be released, don't meet the system requirements, or just haven't had the time to keep up with the latest releases.

Also, I’m playing around with what day of the week to post this, and seeing what days get the best interaction. If you have a preference, please let me know!

I've been playing a bunch of shorter games, such as:

Bomb Rush Cyberfunk
Firewatch
City of Beats
Kao the Kangaroo

And I'm still playing a few games while my kids watch.

Firewatch is such a great, bite-sized experience. Still think about it from time to time.

Just finished it in one sitting, what a ride.

Kao the Kangaroo

Which one, original or the reboot?

[–] sugar_in_your_tea@sh.itjust.works 2 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Reboot. I never played the original.

[–] Essence_of_Meh@lemmy.world 1 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Ahh, I see. How is it (in general, as a mascot platformer)?

Decent, but I think it's a little odd:

collectibles require backtracking in levels, yet they also record time, so I'm not sure if they're recommending speed or exploration; levels are pretty linear
you can buy lives/extra hearts in the store (why?)
some things can be fiddly

I think Yooka-Laylee is way better, but it's still fun.

Hmm, considering it already reminded me of the second game (not bad but I did prefer the original, even if it was "worse") I'll probably skip this one. Thanks!
