Video games, tabletop, or otherwise. Posts not related to games will be deleted.

This community is focused on games, of all kinds. Any news item or discussion should be related to gaming in some way.

2. No bigotry or harassment, be civil

No bigotry, hardline stance. Try not to get too heated when entering into a discussion or debate.

We are here to talk and discuss about one of our passions, not fight or be exposed to hate. Posts or responses that are hateful will be deleted to keep the atmosphere good. If repeatedly violated, not only will the comment be deleted but a ban will be handed out as well. We judge each case individually.

3. No excessive self-promotion

Try to keep it to 10% self-promotion / 90% other stuff in your post history.

This is to prevent people from posting for the sole purpose of promoting their own website or social media account.

4. Stay on-topic; no memes, funny videos, giveaways, reposts, or low-effort posts

This community is mostly for discussion and news. Remember to search for the thing you're submitting before posting to see if it's already been posted.

We want to keep the quality of posts high. Therefore, memes, funny videos, low-effort posts and reposts are not allowed. We prohibit giveaways because we cannot be sure that the person holding the giveaway will actually do what they promise.

Looks really good! I never finished Talos Principle so I might just pick this up when it lands.

It still baffles my brain that arguably the best puzzle game ever is by the Serious Sam devs.

Seriously. Even if you aren't huge on puzzle games, The Talos Principle is a great experience. They do a spectacular job of introducing new mechanics so nothing ever feels unfair and you naturally realize how to find the secrets in past rooms. And there are enough "endings" that you don't need to 100% it.

Nice! I'm playing through TP2 right now and it's great fun, though I did enjoy the mystery of the first more I think. How many laser puzzles does a person need in life though?

[–] catloaf@lemm.ee 2 points 7 months ago* (last edited 7 months ago)

Lasers are my favorite! Worlds better than the replays. I also enjoyed the teleporters.

TP2 could have had more hexahedra, though.

Ooh I really liked this game, I played it in VR. I remember thinking they did great job with the difficulty curve.

[–] Katana314@lemmy.world 3 points 7 months ago

That’s actually what I hope they’re fixing with the remake.

Early puzzles were clever, later puzzles just have so many parts it feels like a laborious chore to get every laser and box and replay exactly where it needs to be. I’m sorry to say I didn’t even finish the game.

Hope they support VR with this remaster.

[–] Dave@lemmy.nz 3 points 7 months ago (1 children)

I don't have mine anymore :(

[–] LiveLM@lemmy.zip 2 points 7 months ago (1 children)

Oof, sorry to hear.
At least you have loooots of backlog to play if you eventually decide to get another!

[–] Dave@lemmy.nz 2 points 7 months ago

Maybe one day I'll have time again!

I had an Index, and after many years one of my lighthouses died (was actually from the Vive I had before that). But I wasn't playing it enough to justify buying a new one.

Now the kids are getting older I might get back into it at some point.

[–] Klanky@sopuli.xyz 4 points 7 months ago

That looks incredible! The second one was good but I think I still like the first one better. I would love to dive back in.

[–] Aviandelight@mander.xyz 3 points 7 months ago

Well I guess I'll be playing this again next year.

fuckin sick

[–] LiveLM@lemmy.zip 1 points 7 months ago

Very Happy to see this, TP1 has my favorite set pieces of all time (the desert levels in special) and if they're already held super well throughout the years, can't wait to see them remastered, and with a new chapter to boot!!!

Just hope the move to UE5 doesn't introduce the typical shader stutters 😬
