It can be played solo, there’s even an NPC robot to assist you in that particular mode. Frankly, when playing MP, I really miss that robot.

1704

Thanks for that info, and the reply before about Deep Sky Derelicts. I hit up lordcosk for a key of that one in the Giveaway Thread.

Dirt Rally is currently free on Steam:

1706

Didn’t work for me. Is there a limited number?

1707

It has told me it was added to my library, but I cannot install it, and it isn’t in my library, so it looks like there are some issues with it.

1708

Deep Rock Galactic is a blast solo. It’s even more fun with friends, but your robot buddy in solo mode is awesome.

So that code would work in the EGS?

1711

Nope, only via GMG, they are reducing their profits to get sales.

Wait you mean the voucher code? Buying from GMG gets you a EGS key.

1712

Sorry, I meant the game code that GMG sells you. Would that work in EGS?

1713

Heh I read your mind, yep you get a game key for the EGS.

Same here.

Nice bundle over at Humble at the $1 tier.
When Ski Lifts go Wrong
Tricky Towers
Concrete Jungle

Also with the big Frontier sale going on over at Steam this is a good 2 pack of fun metroidvania games.

1718

Gentle puzzle-platformer might be a better description. :)

1719

I played both on the Wii. I enjoyed them, but the medroidvania aspect of backtracking to areas of the game that are supposed to open up once you have new powers is what got me in both games. Eventually I just couldn’t figure out where to backtrack to so that I could move the story forward. The game provides little to no hints, so you end up just going everywhere in an attempt to move forward, but if you can’t find it, there’s nothing to help you.

I did try looking up walkthroughs on the internet when I got stuck, but I couldn’t identify where I was supposed to be in the walkthrough by that time, and never did figure it all out.

So if metroidvania is a good description of having to backtrack and getting lost, then it fits. :P

1720

Even though it’s “current” every-day price is £5, This game is worth £15, let alone £1. Highly recommended!

Note: it’s a city-themed “puzzle” style game rather than a city builder, as a lot of Steam reviewers seemed to suffer “disappointment” in that respect.

1721

I was playing a bit of this last night (picked up the PWYW tier specifically for it) and am enjoying it quite a bit. No idea how long the legs will be (though it sounds like you got a lot of play out of it!) but easily worth the price of entry here for sure.

For those who don’t know, I’d describe it as a rolling tile placement puzzle - I’ve never seen anything quite like it. In some ways it’s pleasantly board-gamey, but it couldn’t exist in a physical space as-is.

1722

I liked it quite a bit too. Definitely different than most games.
