Oh wow you got through quicker than I. I’m glad. At least now you’ve met Niko!

I’m not surprised there were Linux issues tbh. With some of the mechanics involved I’m surprised you managed to complete it at all. Truly this might be one of those real unsupported steam deck games if you really want the solstice ending

You’re welcome, I hope you have a good time!

I just finished OneShot this week and I think it could be what you’re looking for. It certainly would if you play the whole game.

You can get very personally attached to the characters in a way that I’ve not had in a game before. It was very hard to finish the game amongst all the tears.

I just finished Stray. I’m not really a cat person but it was actually really enjoyable. Turns out cats are great platformers!

I also finished Strange Horticulture yesterday. That was a pleasant surprise especially since it was set in the Lake District.

I’m now trying to decide between starting Baldur’s Gate 3 (I am not a fan of turn based combat), Immortality or The Talos Principle 2.

I found the enemies really frustrating to deal with.

With the little resources I’d have and how many of them would come at you at once, there were quite a few times I’d be dodging something and I’d have been flanked and killed. Or I would run out of resources quite quickly and have to bail on fighting the enemies and just run away while dodging and hope I’d get to the light in time.

Given I am so into the story (I really do love these games) I was feeling like I wanted the combat to be over so I could spend more time with the characters.

I tried to but 2 episodes in I couldn’t stand the combat and just watched a good supercut of all the cut scenes and dialog in the game. Gave me everything I wanted tbh

Finished Milk inside a bag of milk inside a bag of milk last night and picked up the next one Milk outside a bag of milk outside a bag of milk.

It’s definitely very strange and unsettling, but I like it.
