Played it, found it very bland. The story is completely uninteresting and the combat was fun at first but is extremely repetitive and easy.

Transistor isn't the homerun that Bastion was, it's not bad but it's not great sadly.

Contrary to the rest of you guys I actually quite enjoyed DX:HR, it was an amazing run right up until the end and I can forgive it for a really weak last mission / ending. Even on the base game you can auto kill two of the bosses by playing smart, you don't need any combat upgrades to kill another and there is only one really terrible fight (first boss fight locks you in room with him).

Great soundtrack as well.

If so feel free to add me on steam (TheButtonmen) if you're playing it.

I know you were a L4D'er so have you taken a look at Vermintide yet? I've been enjoying it so far.

Preach, I played through it five times and have tons of fond memories. Each year after the crush of exam season I'd sit back and re-play it to unwind.

okay people so i need to hype up the witness

10/10 walking simulator

i got frustrated by a puzzle so i went for a walk in a random direction, found a back door out of the keep i was in down to the coast, just followed the coast towards a shipwreck in the distance, listened to the waves, wandered through the shipwreck and then walked back to the keep to keep working on the puzzle

the game feels incredibly open and organic

Ascension has been a great way to learn that failure is fun again. Loving this game, in particular Shiv Silent and Rampage Ironborn.

certain squads scale much better ive found

for instance the area denial nature of husting hulks will works the same / even better when you scale the number of the vek up because there is a limit to the number of good squares they can act from and you often get vek standing around unable to reach a good square or force them shoot at mecs which you can just move
