@gcunit, This is absolutely the reason why I just cannot get into Stardew Valley, or most so-called “relaxing” or “cozy” farm sims. I’m sure this is a ‘me’ problem, but I’ve never understood how one can call a game relaxing, when there is a in-game clock ticking. The one cozy sim I can get behind, however, is Littlewood, because time passes with each action. With Stardew, I just feel like the gods of time and efficiency are breathing down my neck the whole time.

Dunjungle is absolutely solid. Its gameplay/loop is indebted to the Dead Cells style of roguelites, but the colorful art style definitely scratches a 90s SNES itch, to those who tire of doom-and-gloom themes, vibes, and color palettes. Plus, it controls wonderfully, and there’s a demo. Highly recommended.

I’m totally getting this. I mean, what’s $10? I guess I’ll have oatmeal instead of takeout for ONE MEAL, in order to cover the cost! 🤷‍♂️

Oh for crying out out, it’s a breezy, pleasant opinion piece written by a journalist on a Saturday. Is nothing safe from seething rage and hatred anymore? My goodness! If you’re so furious about fall damage, go play cautiously outside in the grass, or something. Jeez Louise.
That said, I’m gonna go jump off Mount Edge Peak in Mira, NOT take any damage, and love every second of it!

I’m still patiently awaiting a Western remaster of Knights in the Nightmare. Considering the recent bump in shmup popularity and the stagnation of SRPGs, Knights would be such a welcome breath of fresh air for restless newcomers, and a delightful trip down memory lane for us old farts who played it on DS back in the late ‘00s.

@Smug43 Came here to say the same!

The expanded storehouse alone makes this update worth it. Being able to hoard an extra 720 peachy creatures is more than enough incentive for me to jump back in for a looong time.

@Zeroo Bullseye. It’s like gaming publications everywhere are having a giant parent-teacher conference to figure out how to soften the blow of how much the game sucks to the inevitable swarms of angry children.

@jobvd Agreed. Absolutely a 9/10. It’s a shame that humble presentation is considered such a drawback for the tacit 2023 hive mind. But not everyone will get it, and that’s fine - it’s their loss!

@FiveDigitLP Seriously. This lazy impatience is kind of appalling. Besides, Wonder’s got like 10 days till release. Yelling at Nintendo on Twitter for no eshop demo is like throwing a crumpled-up piece of cellophane at a Brontosaurus

Glad I saw this yesterday; it was just the push I needed to finally create a Japanese account. This is the finest falling puzzle game I’ve played since Super Puzzle Fighter.
Plus, I’ve rekindled my irresistibly abusive love affair with Knights in the Nightmare, thanks to the new account! Cheers for posting!
