Hey all! Welcome back to the monthly weekly gaming thread! So, what have you been playing this last month?
I’ve been on quite a few things! Saros, Mario galaxy 2, some other stuff!
I also recently started Abiotic Factor which is a super fun co op survival game that takes a ton of inspiration from the original half life. It’s awesome! Def recommend if you have some friends to run it with
It’s a wonderful game. It might appear depressing at times, but ultimately I think it’s a game about hope. Take your time with it, and don’t be afraid to be weird. This isn’t a game that punishes you for picking wacky dialogue options very often. And don’t be afraid to fail checks either, failure is a recurring theme of the game and it’s designed with a fail-forward philosophy. Some of my favourite moments actually come from failed checks.
The humor has been an unexpected joy. I’m also enjoying the music!
Yeah it’s a very funny game, despite also being serious a lot of the time. It’s an impressive balancing act in the writing.
The music is by a band called Sea Power, which Robert Kurvitz managed to convince make the OST! Some absolute bangers on that soundtrack, every time those horns hit when you step out of the Whirling…
