The King’s Bird is a precision platformer like Super Meat Boy or Dustforce, but with the ability to glide through the air. Very pretty and looks like smooth controls.
I bought it (since it’s developed by another Colorado studio and I wanted to support them) so I’ll let you all know how it is. But keep in mind I sometimes lose patience with trial-and-error platformers like this.
I played a bunch of this tonight:
And it is absolutely smashing. Almost literally. It’s been compared more to Tony Hawk than Wipeout.
Also, another word on this game. I’ve been slowly playing through a conquest map, and even on easy the AI puts up a deceent challenge. Having so much fun taking over territory while building up my own, which is slow and expensive, but hopefully worth it. What a delightful game.
Really anxious to hear impressions of The Commission. I don’t mind spreadsheet style, but the Let’s Plays make it sound as though documentation is poor.
Jesus Christ, nausea warning, OMGWTFBBQ
OMG I’m sorry, did you get nauseous watching that?!
In about 3.4 seconds, lol
OH wow I’m sorry, I had no idea it would cause nausea.
Dude, it’s fine, just warning others
It DOES look like fun, but I could never play it.

That how it was for me and the Portal games… so far the only games I can’t play.

I didn’t last long with Descent. I’ve felt sub par in a small number of games, but I couldn’t play Descent.

If I am sick, like so little sick I might not even realize it, it gets worst. Everquest and some other 3D games have been known to cause nausea, but if I am perfectly well just fine. I dread the days I hit age because I gotta feeling this response will only get worse.
I found this The Commission Review/Let’s Play and it gave me a much better idea of the game. Very positive review. But he claims the in-game glossary will tell you everything, and I saw other Let’s Plays where the person struggled with that glossary.

Donut County came out yesterday. It’s a charming anti-Katamari game that you can play through in an evening (90-120m). Currently on Steam, GOG, PS4, and iOS (where it’s $5).
I gave my impressions over in the iOS thread. Short version: it’s fine. I’m okay paying $5 for it on the App Store where paying anything at all feels extravagant these days. But more than $10? I don’t usually like to go to dollar/hour formulas for if a game is “worth it”. But I’d have a hard time recommending this at that price.
Well THIS looks fascinating:
Single player post-apocalyptic open world RPG wherein you can modify yourself with cybernetic enhancements, join specific factions and so on.
