    night of the consumers
    Neon Blight
    The Sword and the Slime
    the deer god
    MAYBE:
    Nuclear Throne
    Hidden Folks
    the white door
    CHECK SOUNDTRACK:
    next jump
    Oh Jeez, Oh No, My Rabbits Are Gone
    Night in the Woods
    Vision Soft Reset
    Away team: lost exodus
    the curse of trasmoz
    ALREADY PLAYED:
    This Strange Realm of Mine (I give it the "hazy" rating)
    Headliner: Novinews (hazy rating, but good concept)

    This reminds me a lot of these old Shareware discs which had like a hundred shareware versions of games on them that you could try out.
    It seems in some ways the PC market hasn't changed. At least when it comes to small developers.

  • @Ashalmawia

    this is why I sort of gave up trying to be an indie dev, though what always surprises me is how most of these kinds of games are more interesting visually than they are gameplay-wise. I'm pretty sure (though obviously not if I've never done it) that I could make relatively interesting gameplay, but that would be weaker graphics-wise.

    1:44:00 I actually laughed, coughed, and laughed harder at how fast he turned it down. It's so funny how quickly Ross sees an "anime game" and is just like "Yeah, I get it... Pass..." Agreed man, not into those kinds of games either.
    "Senpai, let's have sex all day and do nothing but have fun." Game's do NOT need to be realistic, but I need some believeability. And being too disconnected from reality just turns me off. I need struggle in my games, make these characters suffer.
    That's why I like Dead Space 1 and 2.
    You play as some engineer jack-off who's just trying to do his job, crap hits the fan, and you've now gotta deal with it.
    Some dude thrown into a terrible mix.

B is limiting me quite a lot, so I'm mostly trying the visual novels. Without having finished your video, I'm going to go ahead and assume my list of maybes will not overlap with yours much. ;) But, note for anyone who bought this, Night in the Woods is among the games. Almost anyone will want to give that one a try. Thanks for going through the whole lot! I'm looking forward to watching the rest.

    The only thing I could add is that Code 7 is ok. I haven't beaten it yet but there you can control crew movement on the map, command them what to do. It's an interesting concept of indirect interaction. However you need to use a console a lot because you are kind of admin, so it can also give you a text-adventure ptsd.

    Really hoping you try out Receiver. It's one of those no-textures games but it has a lot else going for it that I really think you might find interesting, and a sequel to it came out a couple months ago that's pretty much the same idea but properly developed and expanded. Kinda makes the first game a demo/proof of concept of the sequel, and the sequel the actual game.

  • @RolandTheJabberwocky
    @RolandTheJabberwocky 4 ปีที่แล้ว +8

    Really glad I got this pack, good amount of great games most of which run on my toaster laptop. While a lot weren't video games, theres some really cool minimalist table top story games as well for a group story night.
    My favorites so far:
    Celeste: Amazing platformer, fantastic story, there's not much to say that others haven't already.
    Windosill: short fun puzzle game, worth an install and a quick play.
    A Short Hike: Lovely simple platformer that while the narrative is sort of based on coming of age stuff, is still a fun game in it's own right.
    Nightmare Tower: payed version of a flash game I played a long time ago, its arcade fun like you'd expect of an old flash game.
    Epic Battle Fantasy 4: NOT FOR ROSS is sort of a purposefully cliche JRPG series thats more fun for big rpg heads. 3 is free, and 5 is out now, great games I love to play. Music is never super good though unfortunately.
    OneShot: Not done with this but already very interesting, one of those games you cant really talk about without spoiling it. Adventure game style but I've yet to hit a bullshit puzzle.
    Nuclear Throne: Top down shooter rogue like, great fun madness, but pretty hard.
    Quadrilateral Cowboy: very strange cinematic game where you simulate a heist as a hacker. Couldn't wrap my head around some of the stuff yet, but seems to have a lot of depth
    No Delivery: A very strange very untypical rpg, I think Ross would really like the style but maybe not the gameplay, as it sort of purposefully leaves you in the dark a bit.
    I've downloaded a lot of others but those are the ones I've played so far and enjoyed enough to recommend.

      Sanguine Sanctum is sufficiently fucking weird. Short little walk-around surreal horror game. Bit puzzley. And, Beacon is an actual full-release indie game. Only played a bit but, solid so far. Could do with the bloom toned down and more variation in the color palette though.
