Me when the walls seem always in one direction a fraction longer than the eye could endure, and in another direction a fraction less than the barest possible tolerable length

When I learned that frozen meat had ice physics and I could glue a pile of the stuff to the bottom of a plank with a fan on it to make an all-terrain sled I knew it was the greatest mechanic ever added to a video game

Ashen44 ,

(they don't know where glue comes from)

I knew it was gonna be Jan Misali... The goto channel when you want to know the exact origins and history of the letter W.

Ashen44 OP ,

yeah I definitely enjoyed the translation gameplay in heaven's vault more, but otherwise chants of senaar way outclasses it for the reasons you mentioned.

Ashen44 OP ,

Tunic absolutely does have tons of knowledge based progression. You can skip through massive chunks of the game simply because you have knowledge the game withheld from you. As you collect manual pages throughout the game you learn new mechanics that have always been there from the start, you simply didn't know how to access them. A big example of this is accessing the hub, which is a massive game changing discovery halfway through the game that you can access in the first 60 seconds.

Ashen44 OP ,

I have it on my wishlist but I've put off buying it because I thought it was just a visual novel. I'll have to check it out now!

Ashen44 OP ,

do it do it do it do it do it it's so good

Ashen44 OP ,

yeah that too

Ashen44 OP ,

Outer Wilds is a game you can beat in 20 minutes, but you spend 15 hours figuring out how to actually do that. Along the way you unravel a lovely story of curiosity and discovery and loss, while trying to solve one of the greatest mysteries in the universe. It's a beautiful game and a true once-in-a-lifetime experience in the most literal sense, since you can only experience it once. Like the other person said, if this sounds appealing to you, give it a try! You will absolutely know whether the game is for you well within the refund period.

Ashen44 OP ,

I experienced Lingo through my friend discord streaming their playthrough of it. It's an awesome game but my goodness did we have to have a thesaurus open for some of the puzzles! I definitely would recommend anyone reading this check it out though, it's incredibly unique! I'd say the closest game in terms of vibes is Antichamber, but with word puzzles.

Ashen44 OP ,

The worst thing I did to myself was watching a playthrough of The Witness on youtube instead of playing it myself. It's right up my alley and it's such a beautiful and clever game that I would have loved to experience myself. Good news though, if you love The Witness check out Taiji on steam! It's extremely similar in concept and gameplay, just in 2D instead!

Ashen44 OP ,

It was so unique! I found myself getting extremely excited whenever I would see that glowing page because it was always a treat to see what new knowledge they would give me next!

Ashen44 OP ,

There is a framed picture of Kim Kitsuragi in my parent's house, maybe I should actually play it...

Ashen44 OP ,

I played it and bounced off long before I got medicated, I should really go back to it now that I have acquired the ability to think!

Ashen44 OP ,

Good luck, and remember: always read the manual!

Ashen44 OP ,

YOU are the fool because I am harvesting this thread for game recommendations and you have fallen right into my trap! Muahaha!

Ashen44 OP ,

I did try it and what I played was really fun but once I left the first zone, after 5 minutes the entire game would slow to an unplayable crawl :(

Ashen44 OP ,

It'll likely be a long while yet before I end up getting around to it but I'll keep you in mind

Ashen44 OP ,

Oh Minit! That was such a well done little game. It really lived up to its name in terms of length but that made sure it never let itself get stale. I'll have to check out The Forgotten City! I wrote it off because the other big Skyrim mod that's its own game, Enderal, just didn't mesh with me, but several people have recommended it now so I guess I'll have to give it a shot!

Ashen44 OP ,

Another comment recommended that as well, I'll add that to the list! I always love a good "wtf is going on" type mystery.

Ashen44 OP ,

These are games where a major portion of the gameplay involves learning about the game. In Heaven's Vault and Chants of Sennaar this manifests as learning languages. In Return of the Obra Dinn this is figuring out what happened on the ship. In Tunic and The Outer Wilds this is based around knowledge checks, or mechanics that are present from the start of the game but you only learn how to exploit them much later.

Ashen44 OP ,

It's easily one of my favourite games of all time, I cannot recommend it enough!

Ashen44 OP ,

Ooh, I think Void Stranger is the first game in this thread I've genuinely never heard of before! It looks very interesting! I'll definitely add that one to the list. Baba Is You is an absolute mind bender of a game. I keep going back to it but it fries my brain every time. I've gotten decently far but holy moly does it get difficult towards the end! Fez really must be good given how many people are still recommending it despite hating its creator. That's definitely a sign that it's a real classic!

Ashen44 OP ,

That's very interesting! My experience with treatment has mostly been that all the games I thought sounded really cool but weren't very fun turned out to actually be extremely fun, I was just utterly incapable of immersing myself in anything before treatment. Granted my issue was severe ADHD and I have no idea what yours is.

Ashen44 OP ,

Cultist simulator was really cool, if a little esoteric (though I'm certain that was on purpose) and the new game Book of Hours looks extremely interesting too! Sorcery! is the second game here I've never heard of before, good reccs!

Ashen44 OP ,

Ah I remember all my friends raving about Who's Lila? a while ago, but I was too busy at the time to check it out! That's definitely something I'll be checking out!

Ashen44 OP ,

I have used gamepass, though if you mean on an actual Xbox unfortunately I am too poor for that option :(

Ashen44 OP ,

You aren't wrong but it's just people having fun recommending games they think are cool and I'm never going to turn that down

Ashen44 OP ,

It's definitely something that takes trial and error, and I know for some people the medication doesn't work very well at all unfortunately. I know you didn't ask an internet stranger for their armchair psychiatry but one thing I can recommend is that you don't let medication be your only treatment! Routines and exercise have both been extremely effective for me personally at mitigating the effects of ADHD. I know those are both almost impossible to get into precisely BECAUSE of ADHD, but if you can, try and use the medicine as a springboard to help you! I'd recommend talking to a professional about various non-pharmaceutical things you can do to supplement your medication. Good luck and try not to let anything kill your love for games!

Me but with monster hunter wilds

Ashen44 ,

I guess that's one way to announce your polycule

Ashen44 ,

Unity did a handful of good. They were a great game engine for many amazing games. They're still evil. Microsoft is still evil. Large corporations are evil. I'm not going to side with either of them.
