Really excited for this and the Broken Sword Remaster that comes out on the same day. Shadowgate was my gateway to learning English. I sat in front of my NES with a dictionary when I was like 10 or 11 years old. Even managed to beat the game that way.
Nice. Of the classic Yakuza games I liked 4 the best, I hope you will enjoy it as much as I did.
I will just mention some of the games I played from the genres you like. They are all pretty well known, so you probably played them already or have them on your list.
Puzzles: Does Turn Based Combat count as puzzles? Tactical Breach Wizards and Into the Breach (A rogue like, but it is sooo good).
Platformers: Celeste, Horace, Dustforce and Little Nightmares
Metroidvanias: Guacamelee
Point and Click: Everything by Wadjet Eye Games. Seriously, everything they developed or published.
Story aka Walking Simulators: The Suicide of Rachel Foster, Firewatch, The Beginner's Guide, Dr. Langeskov (It's free!), Jazzpunk, The Vanishing of Ethan Carter
+1 for Yakuza. I hope you have played 0, Kiwami 1 and Kiwami 2 before 3.
What genre of indies are you looking for?
The rerelease of Doom 1.
This time with Pistol Start, as I recently learned that the levels were balanced around that. It is challenging, but feels so right. The beginning of a level often plays like a little puzzle. Who to kill in what order to get to a decent weapon, before your 50 pistol shots run out. Can’t wait to play the new semi-official expansion they added with the rerelease.
Lost Judgment. I can't for the life of me bring myself to keep going. The first one was kind of a drag already, but man, the addition of all the High School drama and dancing did not make it any better. The premise of the big case you are trying to solve is quite interesting, but everything around it is so bad.
I've already spent 30 hours on it and there are at least 50 more waiting for me. I don't think I can do it.
Some good old Doom 1.
I played through 1 and 2 about two years ago, but I wanted to try the recent rerelease. Like last time, I play on Ultra Violence. This time with Pistol Start though, as I recently learned that the levels were balanced around that. It is challenging, but feels so right. The beginning of a level often plays like a little puzzle. Who to kill in what order to get to a decent weapon, before your 50 pistol shots run out. Can't wait to play the new semi-official expansion they added with the rerelease.
