Good to hear! That guy made some of the best video game music ever. Just Super Mario and Ocarina of Time should be enough. Also, it's really fun to play his music on a piano, although it's always pretty hard at first 😅
I really like the flashing police horses. The game looks fun, can't wait to try it out.
Why not? There's nothing wrong with fun. You don't have to exclusively read "high" literature. We've got to unwind sometimes, right?
Lets say you have a refined taste 😉 sometimes what's most highly rated is boring stuff intended for the mass audience. For example, I stopped watching USA movies and very rarely see a USA series because I don't enjoy it at all. It has great reviews, but doesn't interest me, and that's ok. I'd say that people who like it have a bad taste, and they would say I have a bad taste. Lets just say we have different interests 😅
I prefer Linux as a OS, so I'm really happy that I can play games that aren't supported by devs. And it has benefits - since Linux is a better OS by a mile some games work better on it. For example Valheim on Windows is unplayable for me since it shuts down my computer after 5 - 20 mins, while on Linux it runs without problems and has smaller FPS drops in my gigantic castle. Maybe it's a bad example since it has support for Linux, but Ravenswatch doesn't and also has better performance on Linux through Proton.
Yep, even if the game is Windows only and you're a Linux guy, you go into the Steam properties/settings for that game, click on the Compatibility tab, and then check the "Force the use of a specific Steam Play compatibility tool". Chances are the game will work fine, but if it doesn't you can try some other version of Proton. Alternatively, there is also Wine but I didn't touch it yet and heard it's a pain in the a**
Exactly! Tastes differ. But that makes me vary of recommendations and I end up second guessing every 5 star review. Who knows how many good books I passed up 😅
Not at all. I played DF (with sprites) and had a great time. The graphics are not fantastic, but are not unappealing either. I know a lot of people loved the ASCII, but personally I'm not into that.
I'd argue that Minecraft and Stardew Valley do visually look good. Looking good doesn't mean that it has to look like a AAA game with realistic graphics. Very old games like Super Mario Bros 3 look great even today. Pixel art games if done with care look fantastic. What I didn't like about this game when looking at the trailer on Steam is that the world looks barren - specifically, look at the 35s mark on their Steam video. I see that there are some other visually appealing scenes in the trailer, but some scenes just look unfinished. I agree I was a bit harsh, but the couple of close-ups in the trailer left a really bad impression on me.
