dunno why you’re downvoted. native games that are 10 years old rarely run for me, there’s always some issue with the libraries, even though supposedly they were built against SLR.

Knytt Underground - lovely little metroidvania by Nifflas. I expect some people to know this one, but it does have only 226 reviews on Steam and deserves more. Bundling this one with Ynglet - another game by him (and some other devs)

Ring Runner: Flight of the Sages - I remember enjoying the writing in this one, as well as quite detailed ship customization. A weird lil shmup RPG, not even sure what to compare it with. A slow burner for sure though, give it some time to open up. Also on Steam, but seems like it’s restricted in some regions there.

The Sea Will Claim Everything / The Lands of Dream - a very crusty “window” into another world, made by one of the writers for The Talos Principle. Quite personal, too, as you’ll find out if you stick with it.

I love Duskers! (therefore you’re getting a downvote) But hopefully you’ll be pleased to learn they’ve announced a sequel: https://store.steampowered.com/app/2211630/Duskers_20/

The Dream Machine - point and click quest made of clay and cardboard.

yes, but as long as it makes a profit it doesn’t really matter, why would they want to lose money on a chunk of population

you may wanna consider the fact that subcultures contain more than one individual and they are not in fact a homogeneous biomass with a single opinion

so that normies could buy it in stores and gift it to their underage children for thanksgiving

with the same footprint and noise characteristics? please do

The script in the top post of this thread does a better job, since it actually checks when you have upgraded the affected packages: https://discuss.cachyos.org/t/aur-compromised-1500-packages-affected-20260611/31040

There’s also an even more thorough https://github.com/lenucksi/aur-malware-check

This is quite literally not how it works. That’s why reviewbombing is a term that exists. Not to mention that both games have won multiple awards and are generally universally acclaimed.

The first one is 83% positive on Steam, second one 92% positive. Who’s “most people” here?

someone will probably make a replacer mod eventually

If you don’t trust the guy who “literally invented rsync in 1996” to do right by his project which he has been doing quite all right with for the past 28 years, then I don’t know how to help you. I’d like to put forward an insane idea that he might know what he’s doing and is not vibecoding with a blindfold on and a beer in his hand.

same. i rarely refund tiny games like that, but I just did not vibe with it all, even though I wanted to

from the same genre only Pistol Whip comes to mind. the rest are not better IMO

Seems like a worse version of https://www.parseword.com/

The layout is broken on my phone, the keyboard doesn’t even fit the screen

I loved (well, still love) the more melancholic ones, Moominvalley in November and Moominland Midwinter are probably my favorite ones. I’ve also recently finished the 90s Moomin anime, it did wonders for my post-work tired brain

Loved the demo for Titanium Court, but I have so many games in rotation right now that I decided that it’ll have to wait its turn :(
