Am I the only person that feels that retro games are better? (beehaw.org)

Less DRM, smaller filesizes, no stupid anticheat, and no always online bs. Anyone agree with me?

Abandon AAA, buy more indie or AA games and you'll find what you want

Actually haven't bought any new games that recently, can you give any recommendations?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 6 months ago

Balatro, game of the year for me so far

Hero's Hour is a pixel art game that's about building an army. Really solid indie game! Also a fan of Revita, it's a roguelike but done very well and is mostly unique.

I can give so many but you'll have to narrow down your preferences a bit ^^

I've recently been playing Remnant 2, Songs of Syx, Age of Darkness, dotAGE, Helldivers, Valheim, Against the Storm... all really impressive and amazing games made by (relatively) small studios or AA developers with a passion for games. If you're completely new to the indie scene you probably can't go wrong with Hades, Hollow Knight, Stardew Valley, Terraria

Ooh :3

I've played Terraria :3

[–] [email protected] 6 points 6 months ago (1 children)

You should try hollow knight, its a great metroidvania, and without saying too much the entire game is amazing, just the first zone is a bit boring

[–] [email protected] 1 points 6 months ago (1 children)

Yea :3 I'll get the switch ROM.

BTW, not exactly a metroidvania but skul: the hero slayer is a nice platofrmer too

[–] [email protected] 4 points 6 months ago (1 children)

Why the switch ROM?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 6 months ago (2 children)

Not doing PC gaming anymore, and also I have a device that can emulate some switch

[–] [email protected] 2 points 6 months ago (1 children)

Out of curiosity, what device is that?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 6 months ago

Retroid pocket 4 pro

[–] [email protected] 1 points 6 months ago (1 children)

Which device is that?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 6 months ago

Rp4 pro

Try looking for a Steam curator with tastes similar to yours. I like SkillUp’s curator page, maybe try that as a jumping off point.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 6 months ago (1 children)

Could try that I guess, but I don't really do PC gamjng anymore.

Well, same principle can be applied to other platforms. Find a streamer who plays a game you like you like and see what else they like.
