I borrowed it from a friend on PlayStation 5 when it came out but didn’t have the time to commit to it and largely got worn out by the lack of a save system. Back then you could only put the console in sleep mode if you wanted to take a break. If you switched apps your run would be gone which was frustrating.
Fast forward to now, I am playing it PC and they have added proper saving to the game and man I am having a blast. The gameplay is fast and frantic, the amount of enemies it throws at you at times reminded me of the new DOOM games. The environments are really cool and make you truly feel like you’re in an alien world. The story is super cryptic but really grabbed my attention and made me want to keep finding out all these small details. Only advice I’d give is once you get to the end credits, keep playing as that isn’t the true end.
Highly recommend this one to anybody who likes fast paced shooters and roguelikes that offer up a challenge. Definitely looking forward to whatever Housemarque makes next. Also check out Resogun if you haven’t already as that game is also fantastic.

Comment on Ticket for one: The joy of going to the movies alone in ~life

I was stuck on the irrational fear of people looking at me funny at the movies for being alone as well as the fear of telling my peers that I went alone and they go "Oh that's weird". What helped me get over the feeling was the fact that I got tired of missing out on the things that I wanted to do if nobody would go with me. Changing my thinking around this really opened up my world and led me to many valuable experiences. Life is too short to miss out on the things you want if people are unwilling to tag along. Go see that movie, go to that concert, travel and meet new people on the way. I promise you won't regret it and you never know what experiences you'll open yourself up to once your comfortable doing things alone.

Comment on Beginnings of a new category of clients I've been working on for Tildes! in ~tildes
Pankakke LinkThis sounds like a pretty interesting idea, hoping that at one point an everything client will be made for iOS so I can try this out. Would be nice to have one awesome app that could integrate...This sounds like a pretty interesting idea, hoping that at one point an everything client will be made for iOS so I can try this out. Would be nice to have one awesome app that could integrate with both Tildes and Kbin.
Oooo dang, looks like I’ll be jumping into the tower content once I get the true ending. If it offers more story content then I’m absolutely in.
To jump on the difficulty conversation, I’d 100% agree with your tips. I also find this game to really get so much easier once you get on a good run also. In the beginning I struggled a bit to make any progress as I felt I wasn’t getting any good items but then came a run that changed all that and then you kind of steamroll the rest of the content. That’s not to say it’s not challenging still and small mistakes can and will punish you. But good items really change your chances of survival and I went from doing multiple attempts of the first boss to clearing every other boss on the first try.
