Warhammer 40k: Dark Tide is Left 4 Dead in Warhammer IN SPACE. I liked Left 4 Dead and I like Warhammer and I like IN SPACE so this is definitely worth a try.
I’m not sure how far back the Persona series was good, but I’m confident that Persona 4 Golden is still in the good zone. Persona 3 isn’t in this Humble Choice, but it’s also pretty well regarded. No one ever talks about the first two, though, so I have my suspicions about them.
Lamplighter’s League is getting close to breaking out of my usual dismissal of tactical RPGs that don’t have a strategic layer like XCOM, but while its alternate 1930s setting is interesting and fun, it’s also nearly 40 hours long.
Cassette Beasts is a monster collector game with a fusion mechanic. While I think the cauldron of creativity that’s sprung up around Pokemon modding and knock-offs could create some really good games, I also think it’s a headline for why copyright should be shorter: While there’s a ton of cool ideas for new directions to take the genre in, they really struggle to come up with good monster sets. Cassette Beats doesn’t seem like it’s beating that rap.
The Book Walker is about a writer whose ability to write has somehow been revoked (legally? Supernaturally?) after he is found guilty of “an unspeakable crime,” so he strikes a deal with a mob boss to steal things by venturing into books. Cool idea for how to hop around different settings, but it seems like it’s mostly adventure puzzle bullshit? No thanks.
Karmazoo is some kind of multiplayer platformer thing that tries to encourage people to be nice to each other. I’d take a chance on it if it were short, but How Long To Beat lists no completion time at all, which suggests it might be an endless thing, or else that it’s really unpopular, to the point where not one person who’s beaten it has an active HLTB account.
Hexarchy describes itself as a 4X deckbuilder. There’s way too many other 4X games for me to get through before I even look at the experimental fringe like this.
You know those mobile ads that have the mother and her daughter stuck out in the cold and you have to help them warm up, but then the game the ad is attached to is some match-three game with nothing to do with what was in the ad? Garden Life reminds me of those ads for some reason. The art style is way better and it’s just about gardening, no kid in sight, but for some reason I get a similar vibe from the protagonist. Anyway, I’ve enjoyed zen-grind games in the past, but the whole gardening thing just doesn’t speak to me.
