    General Game Discussion thread for April 2026

    I did another mission in Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain. I had to grab a truck that was being escorted by two armoured vehicles, which seemed easy enough. In the past I could just block the road and quickly run up to a vehicle and attach a balloon while it stopped. However, on my way to...

    Yes, casual refers to the puzzle difficulty. Portal is a great game because of its story and setting, not because of the puzzles. It is a great game with puzzles, but not necessarily a great puzzle game. If you strip out all of the story the game would not be nearly as good, especially not for...

    What are your top 3 (or more if you want) puzzle games of all time?

    I really like both Portal games, but not necessarily for their puzzles. Without the story I wouldn't have played either game. As far as I can see I don't have any other puzzle games I've played in my Steam library. The only puzzle game I can think of that I enjoyed purely for its puzzle...

    Stephen's Sausage Roll is specifically a very popular sokoban game, which is more niche than just "puzzle game", and is apparently really difficult. It's in a very different category than Portal, which is a really casual puzzle game.

    General Game Discussion thread for April 2026

    I think I'm pretty knowledgeable about gaming in general, but every so often I'm reminded just how broad the video game hobby is and how many parts I have almost zero knowledge about. For example, I had never heard of this puzzle game before, but it seems to be widely regarded as the best...

    Info Why Microsoft Store and Xbox App are doomed

    I remember having similar issues with a game that uses Games For Windows Live. Hopefully the Stop Killing Games initiative will prevent any future games from getting these kinds of integrations that break the game when they stop being supported.

    General Game Discussion thread for April 2026

    That's a very good question. I don't think I'd buy a VR headset just for a VR game that isn't much different to a regular PC game. So for example, Skyrim VR is not a reason to buy a VR headset for me. It would have to be a game that uses the capabilities of VR to do something you couldn't do on...

    General Game Discussion thread for April 2026

    Personally, and I think this is true for a lot of people, I wouldn't consider buying a VR headset until there was a sizable library of VR games I really wanted to play and even then I have so many games on my backlog that I'd probably still be very reluctant to buy one. And developers aren't...

    General Game Discussion thread for April 2026

    I played some Fortnite with my wife and kid today. We did 4 matches and I'm not sure any of the people we shot were actual players and not just bots. I remember reading that about 90% of all "players" in each match are bots nowadays and that seems to match my experience. Honestly though, I...

    https://www.pcgamer.com/games/roguelike/vampire-crawlers-review/ I tried out the demo for Vampire Crawlers and I really liked it, it felt just like Vampire Survivors to me but better. Abbie says in her review: In my experience replaying earlier levels wasn't much fun outside of trying new...

    Demos—post game demos here

    I played the demo for Casualties: Unknown yesterday: https://store.steampowered.com/app/4576510/Casualties_Unknown_Demo/ This is a 2D, side-scrolling survival roguelike with a steep learning curve. I played it for 1.5 hours, mostly on the tutorial, and still couldn't survive for more than 5...
