Welcome to the largest gaming community on Lemmy! Discussion for all kinds of games. Video games, tabletop games, card games etc.

Rules

1. Submissions have to be related to games

Video games, tabletop, or otherwise. Posts not related to games will be deleted.

This community is focused on games, of all kinds. Any news item or discussion should be related to gaming in some way.

2. No bigotry or harassment, be civil

No bigotry, hardline stance. Try not to get too heated when entering into a discussion or debate.

We are here to talk and discuss about one of our passions, not fight or be exposed to hate. Posts or responses that are hateful will be deleted to keep the atmosphere good. If repeatedly violated, not only will the comment be deleted but a ban will be handed out as well. We judge each case individually.

3. No excessive self-promotion

Try to keep it to 10% self-promotion / 90% other stuff in your post history.

This is to prevent people from posting for the sole purpose of promoting their own website or social media account.

4. Stay on-topic; no memes, funny videos, giveaways, reposts, or low-effort posts

This community is mostly for discussion and news. Remember to search for the thing you're submitting before posting to see if it's already been posted.

We want to keep the quality of posts high. Therefore, memes, funny videos, low-effort posts and reposts are not allowed. We prohibit giveaways because we cannot be sure that the person holding the giveaway will actually do what they promise.

5. Mark Spoilers and NSFW

Make sure to mark your stuff or it may be removed.

No one wants to be spoiled. Therefore, always mark spoilers. Similarly mark NSFW, in case anyone is browsing in a public space or at work.

6. No linking to piracy

Don't share it here, there are other places to find it. Discussion of piracy is fine.

We don't want us moderators or the admins of lemmy.world to get in trouble for linking to piracy. Therefore, any link to piracy will be removed. Discussion of it is of course allowed.

Heaps of cool games in there! Anyone played any and want to recommend them?

[–] [email protected] 6 points 6 months ago (1 children)

The only one I've played is The Rise of the Golden Idol. If you haven't played that one or its predecessor, The Case of the Golden Idol, I highly recommend both. They're very good logic/deduction puzzle games. You basically examine a frozen moment in time and then deduce what happened based on that.

Thanks for the suggestion! Looks like they have demos so I'll check them out 🙂

I wishlisted PVKK from seeing its earlier trailer. I'm also aware that Buckshot Roulette is well-received but haven't played it myself.

None! But some of them - like Megaloot or Waxheads - have free demos on Steam.

I tried the demo of Road to Vostok and it seems like a very good and in-depth survival game. Not out yet though.

I'm not sure anything described as "hardcore" is my kind of game haha, but thanks for the suggestion.

Buckshot Roulette is fun. Not a lot to it, really, but a fun loop that I got a decent number of hours out of.

I bought Arctic Eggs after seeing a little bit of a playthrough but haven't actually played it yet. Seems weird, which I like.
