Seems like a great price! I love the feeling and artstyle - I wonder if anyone played it and what's your opinion

Looks fun as hell from the videos. Most the neg reviews seem to be whining about capitalism so I wasn't sure if it's some commie shit. But from what I can tell reading them it's a solid game but gets repetitive and has a few too many tutorials long into the game. But it's an arcadey open world GTA game so basically you're going to get what's on the tin.

 

[911 Jumper]

Inspired by SSX Tricky

 

[Hell Swarm]

Animations need a bit of a smoothing over and better music but it has potential to be good. Needs a demo to check it's not got awful controls though

 

[911 Jumper]

Studio Ghibli-inspired farming/life sim

 

[Hell Swarm]

Interesting puzzle game where you have to type in words then let gravity do it's thing. Idea is to set up letter interactions to hit the goal. So you might roll another letter down a O or drop IIIII like a set of dominos.

Remember when McDonald's used to have the game on the GameCube in these enclosures?

Am I the only one who finds this offensively disgusting? Kids should be out and active when they're going to McDonalds. They shouldn't be playing video games at them. FFS, McDonalds isn't great for you but at least in my day they had a play ground or you ate your food and left.

 

[Cat Headed Eagle]

Yeah, videogames make your kids gay after all

Never seen them before. Those analog sticks on the purple and spice controllers have been destroyed.I actually had SSX Tricky on the GameCube – despite also having a PS2. Doing tricks with the GameCube's tiny GBA-style d-pad was an awkward experience. Tricky is my favourite entry in the series, though in hindsight, the “It's Tricky” / “Tricky” sound effects you get every time you land tricks can get annoying.

This is out tomorrow. It's a PS1-style horror game. Seems to be getting positive reviews (also available on PS5 irc)

Stuff like this is why I hate retro revivals. It is nothing like a PS1 game. It doesn't even look like a PS1 game because they confuse FMV renders with what the games look like. The camera doesn't work with the control system it's promoting and then they give an option to use 'modern' controls which destroys the balance. Tank controls limit movement making enemies a threat via no good escape options. Modern controls you can run circles round a monster and are never pressured by anything.

Likely waifu bait garbage so 0/10. Should have been a RPGmaker game.

I agree. No interest in these PS1 revival projects myself. I'd rather play a real PS1 game.

McDonalds GameCube kid walked so iPad kid could run.

Is this confirmed to be the original and not censored in any way?

Yeah, looks like zoomer made trash. All of those "retro horror inspired" games look like they're made by 20 year olds who heard about PS1 horror games but never played one.

This pretty much goes for retro or pixel art everything, insert genre as necessary.
