    August 2025 General Game Discussion

    I played some more Backpack Heroes and played some runs with the last two characters. The fourth one summons pets that each have their own inventory for specific pet items, letting you specialise them for different purposes. However, for some reason the only mission I had unlocked for her gave...

    I would guess it's a mix of actual guests, spam bots and web crawlers.

    You'd think we would have automated mapping technology by now.

    I'm getting a bit bored of Backpack Heroes. The story is effectively nonexistent after the first few missions, which is a shame because there's a lot of interesting bits of worldbuilding you can find. The third area is still far too easy, but runs take a lot longer now that I have to complete...

    September 2025: Demos for Games Launching Next Month

    There was a time where I considered the idea of watching someone else play a game completely preposterous, but watching (highlights of) people playing Getting Over It was pretty funny and I expect this game will make for some great content as well.

    Games Inbound, August 2025: News About Games 'Coming Soon' from PCG

    Every game with stamina, dodging and counterattacks has been retroactively branded as a soulslike. The Lego games are less serious, I think that's entirely as intended.

    I did a run with the third character in Backpack Heroes, which has entirely new mechanics as well. The first quest I did with her sent me to the third area for the first time. It is definitely more challenging there, but luckily the particular quest I chose gave me starter items that carried me...

    I started a run with the second character of Backpack Heroes and was pleasantly surprised that it has both a new way to manage the backpack space and an additional mechanic for fighting enemies. The game is still far too easy, but the variety in items, quests and now characters keeps it...

    The Killing Stone definitely sounds interesting. I've added it to my wishlist so I won't forget about it.

    Played some more Barotrauma with my friends. We had to loot two more wrecks. The first one was fairly easy, with just a couple of husks that we could lure out to be shot by our sub (though we did get hit a bunch, but one of my friends is doing a great job as the medic). The second one was...

    Pathfinder: Wrath of the Righteous Playthrough Discussion

    I was looking at the standalone price. R320 seems to be about €15.63, so it would be slightly cheaper. I'm not sure why WOTR is cheaper in ZAR than Kingmaker, I have no idea how regional pricing works.
