I'm going to do these periodically.

Title kinda says all.

I'll have my own reply later.

What I'm playing now? DCS. It's a military flight simulator that tries to simulate planes as accurately as possible, down to all the buttons in the cockpit. It's very fun to play multiplayer. Bombing the enemy team's factory with other players and having some people be the ones to destroy air defenses with air to ground missiles, and then the other people carry the bombs for the strike is a great experience. Or just being bait for enemy interceptors and then your friend comes to shoot them down while you just evade them and stay alive.

What I've beaten this year? Rain World, Fear and Hunger, Celeste, and Deltarune. Rain world is a survival platformer where you are a small animal and must survive the ecosystem. It's genuinely beautiful pixel art, because it's made by artists. However, there's some parts that can be called bad game design, because it's made by artists and not game designers.

Fear and Hunger is a rpgmaker survival horror game, that is brutally difficult. In it, you suffer in many gruesome ways. Basically every possible content warning applies to this game, so be warned. Ever wanted to play a game where any fight can permanently cripple you, like losing a leg and being forced to drag yourself everywhere? Or stepping on a rusty nail and then having to bonesaw off your infected foot because there's no medicine to stop the infection? Now you can.

Celeste is the platformer game where you are transgender and can double jump. Everyone here knows it already.

Deltarune is funny and good, with great character writing. Again, you've probably heard of it.

Oh God, Fear and Hunger seem to be right up my alley! And yes, I've already played Celeste; I remember when people were still debating whether the main character was trans or not (but really, it was a lot of people in denial). Also, I might play Deltarune but I want the story to actually be complete when I start playing it.

If you play it, remember the game is not fair by design. If you get screwed over by the literal coin flip mechanic, that's the point. Try not to rage. Also, when I say CW: Everything, I can't stress that enough.

You're referring to Deltarune, right?

[-] Outdoor_Catgirl@hexbear.net 4 points 11 months ago

Fear and Hunger, if it wasn't obvious I was talking about the brutal horror game vs the silly funny game
