What is the multiplayer train game

Conduct Together! It was on sale last week. I think it might be a free phone game as well.

It is great because you have to communicate, and then somebody will always make a mistake. After which we get to hear stuff like "sorry, that was my fault" or "it's ok", which is a small miracle out of that little dude.

a good substitute for the euchre i grew up with

i think it was like six cents. i got it too.

Got around to Yoku's Island Express. Fun! Nice mash-up of Metroidvania + pinball video game adventure from the Worms people, so it's adorable. Strong Donkey Kong Country / Rayman vibes.

So Aviary Attorney (SPOILERS) is this fun lighthearted Ace Attorney knockoff in 19c Paris. You collect evidence, cross-examine witnesses, and as a touching sideplot you and your opposing attorney (the prosecutor) gain grudging respect for each other. At least, it was lighthearted until I found myself defending my friend the prosecutor deep in the catacombs ... but for the first time I didn't have the right evidence ... the game just mercilessly chunked through its mechanics, forcing me to select, with mounting horror, a wrong piece of evidence, then another, then another ... until the "judge" got impatient and shot my friend the prosecutor and he died.
I put it down right after, but I don't think this is an inevitable shift in tone in the game, I think I just messed up collecting evidence and the consequences were traumatizing.

― ciderpress, Tuesday, 28 April 2020 15:49 (four years ago) link
me and the SO have been playing Overcooked 2, it's the first Overcooked experience for both of us.
i've done a lot of competitive gaming in my time, and I have never been as stressed out as when I'm playing this fucking game.
― unashamed and trash (Unctious), Tuesday, 28 April 2020 17:27 (four years ago) link
It's really no different than Overcooked 1. You get more bonuses the more you execute dishes in the correct order. Kicking items across the screen is your friend. Teamwork makes the dream work.

Indivisible looks intriguing, might pick it up if there's ever a good sale...has anyone played it?
― cwkiii, Wednesday, 29 April 2020 12:36 (four years ago) link
i've heard pretty mixed things about it, also the switch port was apparently done by the publisher without the devs knowledge and is an older build of the game without some features they patched in like co-op and new game+
― ciderpress, Wednesday, 29 April 2020 13:02 (four years ago) link
i preordered the physical version back in November. hopefully it comes out someday

yeahhh
hopefully they found a new combat system thats more fun than the last couple, it looks different at least

just finished up unwravel 2 with my 5 year old, which was great. because of the sale, we've moved on to kirby. kirby is perhaps the greatest play-along-with-a-5-year-old game ever made. got dragon quest (also in the summer sale) and plan to follow tim rogers' recommended bedtime dragon quest routine.
― voltmeter said i had potential (Sufjan Grafton), Friday, 12 June 2020 16:55 (three years ago) link
it's a good routine! I did it for like two months before i burnt out.
― Fuck the NRA (ulysses), Friday, 12 June 2020 16:56 (three years ago) link
i did too, getting approximately 11.4% through the game in the process

Finish, or 100%
― Josh in Chicago, Friday, 12 June 2020 17:58 (three years ago) link
Because I "finish" lots of games, which is to say, I make it to the end of the story. But there's a ton of stuff I haven't done in Zelda, Hollow Knight, and so on.
― Josh in Chicago, Friday, 12 June 2020 18:00 (three years ago) link
finish = you have asked the grinning bobcat why he grins. Until then you haven't truly "finished" anything.

This looks the Switch game I’ve been waiting for since I finished Zelda. Excited
― Chuck_Tatum, Friday, 12 June 2020 18:52 (three years ago) link
I wish I was hyped. I did, however, as a glutton for punishment, buy Dead Cells on sale for Switch today. People seem to love that one.
― Josh in Chicago, Friday, 12 June 2020 19:06 (three years ago) link
Dead Cells is awesome, you're going to love it
i'm trying to remember, have you played a roguelike before? you've played dark souls, which is similar in some ways (start over at a certain point when you die; die over and over again in general). but roguelikes add some randomization in there as well. with dead cells, you'll start each run with a different set of equipment, for example
― our god is a wee lil god (Karl Malone), Friday, 12 June 2020 19:12 (three years ago) link
you can also sing it to the tune of Red Sails
― voltmeter said i had potential (Sufjan Grafton), Friday, 12 June 2020 19:51 (three years ago) link
I played a few kind of remedial rogue likes, like some game called Goner, iirc. But not, like, Enter the Gungeon or The Binding of Isaac, the latter mostly because it looked so gross and unpleasant. But Dead Cells I've heard described as a rogue-like that gets everything right that a lot of them get wrong. With an additional element of Metroidvania to it.
― Josh in Chicago, Friday, 12 June 2020 19:57 (three years ago) link
it's SO HARD
― Fuck the NRA (ulysses), Friday, 12 June 2020 20:09 (three years ago) link
Binding of Isaac has a gross theme to it but it's cartoony enough that it's pretty easy to get over / get used to. I still maintain that it's the most rewarding roguelike ever made.
― Evan, Friday, 12 June 2020 20:57 (three years ago) link
I just can't get with a game whose central conceit seems to be a child locked in a basement by their abusive parent who must fight evil poop monsters or whatever.
― Josh in Chicago, Friday, 12 June 2020 21:06 (three years ago) link
it's pretty tongue-in-cheek. but there are many other great roguelites you can try with other themes, like Spelunky, Rogue Legacy, Crypt of the Necrodancer...
― Nhex, Friday, 12 June 2020 21:13 (three years ago) link
and dead cells!
― our god is a wee lil god (Karl Malone), Friday, 12 June 2020 21:25 (three years ago) link
spelunky and rogue legacy also rule though (haven't played crypt yet)
FTL still classic if you haven't played yet. Last year's Void Bastards was highly rated (by me) and is a pseudo-roguelike fps (more like Rogue Legacy in that progress carries over between runs).

Which kirby is that Sufjan Grafton? My Switch arrived yesterday and I've got a six-year-old jonesing to play
― stet, Friday, 12 June 2020 22:07 (three years ago) link
Kirby Star Allies. Digital is on sale rn for $42 in the US. It's perfect because you can play as kirby and move things along while your kid can join in or leave at any time as one of your allies.
― voltmeter said i had potential (Sufjan Grafton), Friday, 12 June 2020 22:30 (three years ago) link
i think the major complaint people have is that it's too easy, so it is perfect for young kids. it is easy but fun.
― voltmeter said i had potential (Sufjan Grafton), Friday, 12 June 2020 22:33 (three years ago) link
all kirby games are super easy and then have harder postgame challenge modes
― ciderpress, Friday, 12 June 2020 22:36 (three years ago) link
stet, I'd also recommend unwravel 2 if you haven't played it already. It has melancholy indie vibes, but the overall message is very positive. It's a fairly easy platformer where your kid can usually ride on your back through harder parts.
