Recently I've been playing a lot of platformers/puzzlers. Probably going to be finishing The Bridge tonight and I finished Stacking and The Swapper in the last week. Tell me what's good, because I have a lot of bad.

Do you have the first two Trine games on that list?
I've heard that Toki Tori 2 is considerably different and better than the first game. The first is a pretty basic "solve the room" puzzle platformer, while the second is a large connected area where you need to figure out what you can do in order to bypass obstacles. Sort of like a Zelda or Metroid title, except that you already have all the abilities, you just don't realize it.
6180 The Moon is another I'd recommend. Short, but great and calming soundtrack, and original way to handle the puzzles.
And for raw puzzles, I recommend LYNE and KAMI.
Why is the girl in that picture so hairy
Because you've never seen a woman naked before.
All women have body hair ultra virgin. The sun is just behind her lighting it up a bit.
I've got the first two Trines, I really ought to get around to playing them. I probably will.
Toki Tori 2 is really different, and really impressed me when I played it but I'm kind of uninterested in the aesthetic.
Fuck, 6180 already seems cool just from screenshots. Gotta play that.
I have KAMI on my phone too, since the game was from a humble bundle. I played through it there. LYNE looks good too. I like basic geometry based stuff that introduces an interesting kind of logic.
I'm going to install the Trine games now.
Women are hairy too, user.
Oh, I forgot to ask. Is Trine 3 garbage or something?
Nothing wrong with a little peachfuzz
>Is Trine 3 garbage or something?
I've heard people mention that it's disappointing in comparison. It's 3D rather than 2D platforming, and rather than just stacking boxes or shooting stuff with flaming arrows for your own solutions, a lot of the puzzles seem designed to just be solved a single way without alternates.
Then again, that's just my opinion going from video reviews. It looks like you have Trine 3 already so there's not much point in discussing it. Give it a try as well, probably after finishing and trying to 100% the first two, and see if you like it as well.
cause it's qt
does anyone know the name of that style where women bleach their leg hair to give them an aura?
I don't think I'd like it on a woman but it looks neat
Its simple son
Women are mammals too
That's the hard part about designing a puzzle game. You either make the puzzles only be solvable a specific way because you want players to go through the same logic you used to finish the puzzle, or you create a puzzle that you, after rigorous playtesting probably, ensure can be finished in a number of ways at the very least. It's a pipe dream, but if I were to ever take part in some kind of game development I know it would be some basic, weird puzzler like what I can tell 6180 The Moon, KAMI, and LYNE are.
And, yeah, since I have Trine 3 I will play it eventually. That's the problem with having a history of buying humble bundles for one or two games I know are good, and just going along with the rest.
I sure do love how nobody else in this thread wants game recommendations.
I like JRPGs and fast paced action games. Please assist.
Play every Ys game. You will have to grind enemies from time to time because the game seriously expects you to be at certain levels for bosses, but the bosses are the highlight of the game. Stories are compelling to a degree, too. There are some twists you may or may not like.
I have 200+ games in my library and 100+ on my wishlist. Most of those are shmups, and I typically only use Steam for shmups and puzzle games. I'm not sure you could surprise me, but go ahead.
Other games I should mention while I'm here: Big Pharma, Factorio, Infinifactory, SpaceChem, Train Valley, Human Resource Machine, and KOHCTPYKTOP (not Steam, but free). The first five involve building a working "machine" to get the results you want, with Train Valley being more of an active one with managing the trains along routes. Human Resource Machine is functionally computer programming, while I'm not quite clear what KOHCTPYKTOP is yet.
How tolerant are you towards average games?
i was thinkin the game thing
>how tolerant are you towards average games
As long as it has something that makes it stick out, I can deal with some flaws.
I'll give em' a go, thanks.
Look down at yourself. Then ponder the fact that you and the woman in that picture are both human and develop in roughly the same way.
Zachtronics games are on a whole 'nother level for me. I'm a programmer by trade so they just make me think I'm at work and kill all my interest in them through this.
Have you played Jamestown? It's a really pretty, fairly short shmup.
Is there a city builder kind of like Anno 1404 that isn't Anno 1404? I like the production chain and island style city builders, but I don't like Anno's focus on maximum efficiency. I've already played Tropico, so that's not new.
Tropico is as good as it gets, as far as I know. Banished had a lot of players for a time. Maybe check out some gameplay videos to see if that's interesting to you? It's kind of brutal in that it kills all of your settlers if you aren't careful and doesn't have the cheerful atmosphere Tropico has, but is in a similar vein from what little I know of it.
Metal gear rising
If you haven't tried them, the Shining Force games in the Sega collections are quite enjoyable. They're a bit 90s with the story, but if you ever wanted Final Fantasy Tactics without the strange equipment stats or Fire Emblem without the annoying permakill, then Shining Force is worth checking out.
Breath of Death VII is one I've been working through lately. It does some interesting things with the whole JRPG system, like healing HP after a battle (but only a little MP) and having a set number of random battles per area, although you can always trigger more. It seems to be more old-school nostalgiabait than anything, but if you are looking for a JRPG time waster, then it's worth checking out.
For action, Mighty Gunvolt is actually pretty fun and a better Mega Man-style game than Mighty No.9. Although that isn't saying much. Do note that it's very short, probably less than an hour to play through all stages with one character, so be wary of the price tag or be sure that you'll want to replay it several times.
Jamestown was a game that, for some reason, crashed every time I tried starting a mission. I'm not sure if it's my computer or what, but it happens even after removing and reinstalling. I do have the game, but haven't had the chance of playing it.
I do recommend Train Valley. It's not similar to a Zachtronics game. Train Valley does have a demo on its store page, which is the first stage or two, and will give you a good idea of what the game is like. Hectic as fuck once all the trains want to leave the stations.
Ah, forgot to mention that Azure Striker Gunvolt was quite good on 3DS, and I'd assume good on Steam as well. I don't know how much of a pain in the ass managing two windows is, though.
Didn't they fuck up the port?
I've not heard much about it being fucked up. A quick search indicates that some people have amazingly shitty framerate issues, so that is a concern.
The biggest problem seems to be poor key rebinding controls and the 2nd window, as mentioned. The 2nd window is how you activate your strongest skills, and requires either hitting the F1, F2, etc. keys or clicking them with a mouse. Even if using a controller.
Yeah...
Might want to pass up on that one.
