Besides the terrible movie and the good times, I've played through Layers of Fear.
Honestly, a very, very good time. I can't say a lot of bad things about this game, besides the length.
The atmosphere really sold me on this one; silence in one room, with nothing but your footsteps, mimicking a heartbeat, being heard over the sound of a woman's cries, or the times where the music kicks up bringing the tension along with it.
If you haven't played the game already, I would recommend to do so soon.
finish it
you deserve it
I've also checked out a documentary on steam called "Branching Paths." Honestly, I was hoping to see more on the industry with Visual Novels and the likes with a title like that, but you mostly get insiders on the stories of Japanese indie developers. Don't get me wrong, it was a very interesting as well, but I'm a huge weeb and like to learn up on the stuff like the struggle of developing visual novels. The stories were heart warming and interesting, and some were a bit sad. :( but really good watch anyways. Hope some of the movie money goes to the developers.
I've bought a few games on steam these past few weeks. Quite a few actually. I refunded Day of Infamy for them. Day of Infamy fucking blows.
Anywho, with the extra cash money I got back from doing so, I bought Grim Dawn.
Grim Dawn is Titan Quest with a grim european fantasy setting, but post apocalyptic. After the fall of civilizations.
To be totally frank, it looks like any other fantasy setting? So I'm not really sure what that's all about, besides giving a central plot point.
What I do love about the game is extra strong. Dual classing, great auto inventory management, among other features that you would want in a Diablo 2 clone. What's also included is called the Devotion Tree, which is a secondary skill tree which can be grown by purifying temples you find on the map. Besides encouraging exploration, I feel that it's a neat way to challenge a player with a wave of monsters to fight, or burn a resource you gain from killing a monster den. It's neato.
I got the game for about 15$, but I feel like I walked away with a game heavy with content. No buyer's remorse this time.
Not like the time my friend made me promise to buy 25$ worth of tickets to see Suicide Squad. Fuck that.
