The thing that hooked me initially wasn't the depth of systems and incredible gameplay, but the evocative writing, the simplistic but stylish graphics and music. My imagination was stimulated in ways high-fidelity graphics just can't. Real quality theatre of the mind stuff. Now that I've played for over 200 hours, I am still surprised by something I've never seen before every time I open the game.
Spot on, this is why I enjoy Game Pass so much, the ability to try new games without penalty. And thank you for the honor, though I now feel complicit in tortoise focused aggression.
On the 1.0 release of the game I decided to become the strongest robot enemy by using a certain item to control it and destroy my original body. After many days of power leveling and getting compute power items and implants I finally pulled it off and perma-possesed a Chrome Pyramid. I then found out that being a Chrome Pyramid basically locks you out of doing the main quest (unless you use wishes/commands) so I started a new save where I'm a mutant esper. I've made it to the end of the game many times before it had an ending so Im excited to see what they cooked for the ending.
I've played a ton of this, I always recommend it to people. Doing the typical mutant build with unstable genome, focusing on arms and axes. Just a bit scared to go back to Golgotha again though.
Golgotha easy asf stock up on salve and urberries , eat cook with fermented yuckweak and honey until u get the 3 saves vs disease buff , hop in a hole run past everything you can shoot brown and black aomebas algoflys , if you get shoot crabs push through them and heal and get down to the bottom floor.
I have been playing the game for a few years now, and it is amazing. I think you can do anything you want to in the game world, and it changes a bit every time you play.
I've been playing Caves fo Qud off and on for the past 2 years. Just over 100 hours now and I still haven't seen a lot of the game. I'm a stickler for Classic mode and die a lot, but that's ok because I like messing with different character builds. This weekend, I had a run where I was doing better than I had in a while. Got to a place and told them that someone sent me. Being super general as to avoid unwanted spoilers for people here. Anyway, I went to give them the item, that I had, biut it was no longer there. I had been fighting encumbrance issues and thought that I may have dropped it somewhere. So I tried to retrace my steps, but no luck. I eventually decided to do something foolish with my character to get an achievement. On a later run, I got to a location where you can throw technology into a pit for reputation with a faction and realizes that that may have been where my missing item ended up. Oops. I had a character that leveled up and grew another head on their feet and later grew an arm out of their head that was on their shoulders. Hard to imagine how this being looked and fought.
The whole early access thing is difficult to talk about. Is the game only new when it releases in early access? If so what's the point of the actual launch? Was GTA VI only new when it started development and QA testers could play years ago? What about beta tests? I don't mind saying a game is new when the full version has just released, even if people played it before

Added to my wishlist. Probably get it later on a sale

I'm making a game right now that I think is unique, and this was really encouraging
And they wonder why the tortoise is so irritable!

So good! It's been using up all my free time for a few weeks
Creative: yes!
New: not really...

"something new"??? this is a "rogue-like" of the highest order!
