Game Recommendations

a collection by Flynn · last updated 2024-05-30 02:30:11

Various games I played on here. A lot of these are rather niche and/or often pop up in big game bundles, so you might already have them!

Explore a dangerous island in this souls-like for the TIC-80 fantasy console.
Adventure
Play in browser
Flynn says

Classic game for the TIC-80 fantasy computer. Lightly challenging gameplay, nice pixel art, pleasant ambience. Not a must-play (unless you're really into fantasy consoles), but not something you would regret playing, either.

Anodyne
$9.99
In this Zelda-like game, explore the wondrous dream world of the human Young.
Adventure
Flynn says

Sure is a game. It's worth playing. If you do, I recommend to keep an eye on the world and what it feels like. I wish I could say more, but a sad reality about talking about stuff is that it requires you to understand what you're talking about.

Also, it's set in a dream world. I only clocked that when I read it in the description after finishing it, and it might provide some interesting insight into the details of the story (but don't hope for too much).

Use your dog sleigh, kayak and parachute to collect data while expanding your science outpost.
Adventure
Flynn says

Bit rough around the edges, but it achieves what it's trying to do. Lots of arctic vibes, not much in terms of plot. Base-building gameplay is functional, but the focus lies on the exploration.

I recommend to play at night to get the most out of the quiet, arctic atmosphere. Also play Imaginaria for a different perspective on the same environment.

A 2D platformer about a liquid cat and her friends.

What the f***

An Antarctic visual documentary game
Interactive Fiction
Flynn says

Very nice, small game. Lots of interesting details about living at an antarctic station. Maybe an hour playtime, not worth the 6$ price tag. 3-4$ sounds more appropriate, so wait for a sale or bundle.

Procedurally generated Gameboy-style action-adventure game
Action
Flynn says

Fun. Big old-school zelda vibes. I think it has three endings, but I only remember two, so the third one is probably not important. Has local co-op - if you own it on Steam, you can probably use that to play it over the network. Check in with the librarian regularly. You can get her as a companion after you collect enough books, she offers additional dialogue to game events. Final dungeon can be a bit tricky, but is doable.

Atmospheric space station simulation
Simulation
Flynn says

Very interesting experience. Story-focused, but shooting down the asteroids can require some skill (although I personally didn't have a lot of problems with hitting anything). Strikes me as a great game to play over the course of one or two streams (depending on how long you stay live). Check the news after every mission, that's where a lot of the story unfolds.

Planet Diver is about an adventurous daredevil tackling her newest obsession: Wing suit diving.
Action
Flynn says

Lots of lighthearted arcade fun. Music and gameplay are really nice and the main draw of the game. Robot outfits keep things from getting repetetive and iron out aspects of the standard gameplay you don't like. Very indie.

Unlock the power of the cosmos with SPACE / MECH / PILOT - THE UNIVERSE DRIVE!
Role Playing
Flynn says

Clicker game. Main draw: Space bean. Good for keeping open in the background over the course of a day or two or a "Just Chatting"-stream.

PROTOTYPE - A reverse city builder about ecosystem reconstruction
Strategy
Flynn says

Still waiting for the main game. Defo worth playing, though. Level generation can be a bit wonky.

Played the main game. Demo still worth playing
