ACAB, it’s not complicated. The A stands for All. Catching a terrorist does not absolve you of all judgement

Share the other 4 :)

If you enjoyed Firewatch you’d probably like

• Gone Home (somewhat the OG of this style of game)
• The Vanishing of Ethan Carter
• What Remains of Edith Finch

• Disco Elysium

• Citizen Sleeper

• 1000xRESIST

Japanese and somewhat fan servicey at times but also recommended:

• Nier: Automata

• 13 Sentinels: Aegis Rim

Tank controls have been pretty universally despised for many years now. Basically since we got analogue sticks, tank controls never really made sense.

Stuff like the Grim Fandango and RE1 remasters were offering alternate non-tank controls back in 2015 and there’s probably earlier examples too

Were you already wealthy or just a gambler? For me the idea of throwing $800 on a random share just because it was the cheapest is unfathomable

Ah, a fellow Into the Aether listener perhaps? Or maybe just a big JRPG fan 😁

I gotta check out Trails at some point. The whole tetralogy thing kinda puts me off in the same way Yakuza does but you gotta start somewhere I guess!

If you liked this I really hope you’ve dug into 1000xRESIST. They’re not super similar but enough so that I think if you liked 13 Sentinels you’d probably like it also

Always love to see Mole Mania get some love. One of Shigeru Miyamoto’s earliest titles he worked on also

What are your picks of the genre?

I’ve also tried a whole bunch, my favourite is probably Rogue: Genesia, I really like the challenges and metaprogression over some of the other titles I’ve tried

This looks rad!

On a similar note I Wanna Maker which is more or less Mario Maker but free and tonnes of developer created and user created levels to play through.

Tametsi

Simple premise is basically Minesweeper, but all the puzzles are handcrafted with some neat designs and concepts that will stretch your puzzle solving to the limit. Also importantly, no guessing required to solve and it’s dirt cheap for the amount of hours of puzzles you get!
