Update: players are now throwing themselves off cliffs to grind xp for the platinum trophy https://x.com/realradec/status/1831041419756388429

Today, we have an exciting update: Duncan and Paul, alongside many other talented members at Hopoo Games, will now be working on game development directly at @valvesoftware

Explaining how 3D platformers died and how they've made a return by complaining about the video game industry as a whole.

Whatcha all playing!

I finally finished crow country. Game was great! I thought the puzzles started off a little too easy but they got better as the game went on. Really hope to see more games from this dev soon!

Started crypt custodian. A really solid top down metroidvania. I'm about 5 hours in and am at 50% completion. So pretty short overall I'd say. Def recommend if you're looking for a quick fun time

Is there a way to select or level up a skill on a controller?

Select will open the screen to where I can grab a separate mouse and interact with these. I tried holding down select and then the skill button but that didn’t seem to work.

Please note - I’m talking about the 4 skills on the bottom - the ones you’d want to be able to easily select on the fly while in lane.

Thanks.

The format of these posts is simple: let's discuss a specific game or series!

Let's discuss the Persona series. What is your favorite game? What aspects do you like about it? What doesn't work for you? Are there games that gave you a similar experience? Feel free to share any thoughts that come up, or react to other peoples comments. Let's get the conversation going!

If you have any recommendations for games or series for the next post(s), please feel free to DM me or add it in a comment here (no guarantees of course).

Previous entries: Monkey Island, 8 Bit Era, Animal Crossing, Age of Empires, Super Mario, Deus Ex, Stardew Valley, The Sims, Half-Life, Earthbound / Mother, Mass Effect, Metroid, Journey, Resident Evil, Polybius, Tetris, Telltale Games, Kirby, LEGO Games, DOOM, Ori, Metal Gear, Slay the Spire

Hi, I'm planning to replay SOT,WW,TT. Should I play them on GameCube ,Xbox or PS2? Back in the day I played all of them on PC.But I want to try other versions. I'm looking for the best graphics and feel, Please advise Cheers.

Absolutely the best way to place this game. Huge props to everyone who worked on this!

I like to keep track of my games that I have completed, with most of the games it is pretty easy. When the credits roll, I consider them beat, there are a few exceptions of course like Nier, Resident Evil 2 etc. What I struggle with are fighting, racing games and 4x games. I enjoy these genres, but I don’t know what is “satisfactory” amount that would make me think that I played these games to completion.

Some examples:

• Guilty Gear Strive (or any fighting games that are not Mortal Kombat, injustice or SF6)
• Civilization 6
• Project Cars

Eurogamer - Matt Wales - 5 / 5

Suspicious Developments' latest builds a witty, wonderfully generous adventure around a smart, rewarding, and endlessly imaginative turn-based tactics core.

Guardian - Rick Lane - 5 / 5

Guide a mismatched team including a Navy Seer and a necro-medic through this smart, funny, and resolutely empathetic espionage thriller

---

Try Hard Guides - Erik Hodges - 10 / 10

Tactical Breach Wizards uses great writing, genuinely well-executed humor, and subversive takes on genre gameplay and pairs it with a super unique setting to make what is one of my favorite new titles.

---

Shacknews - Josh Broadwell - 9 / 10

Tactical Breach Wizards is one of the cleverest and most enjoyable tactics games I've played in a long old time. A handful of useful features remove some of the genre's most frustrating pain points, and the forgiving structure lets you experiment with all manner of off-the-wall solutions, even if there really is just one ideal path forward. It's a blueprint for how tactics games should be designed, and I can't wait to dive back into it again.

PC Gamer - Harvey Randall - 88 / 100

Tactical Breach Wizards review: Excellent turn-based tactical combat wrapped up in a joyful, tightly-written story.

---

Paste Magazine - Elijah Gonzalez - 8.7 / 10

While I wish it was a tad more punishing, I still had a blast orchestrating complicated turns that involved teleporting allies across the map, utilizing diverse powers, and, of course, knocking hapless cronies out windows. But, perhaps its greatest accomplishment is how it escapes the inertia of countless other modern war games that feel like the product of the military-industrial complex. I guess all it took to avoid these tropes was not being in the back pocket of the US armed forces, a bit of empathy, and a guy who looks like Gandalf with a magic-infused M16. Who knew?.

---

God is a Geek - Mick Fraser - 8.5 / 10

My ultimate takeaway from Tactical Breach Wizards is that I simply didn't expect it be so refreshing.

---

GameSpot - Alessandro Barbosa - 8 / 10

Tactical Breach Wizards deftly blends deep tactical gameplay that rewards experimentation with sharply-written dialogue and characters bursting with personality

---

IGN - Jarrett Green - 8 / 10

Tactical Breach Wizards is full of magical charm, with inventive skills and characters that make it hard not to get entranced in its spell.

---

Slant Magazine - Steven Scaife - 4 / 5

Luckily, though, you’ll spend much of Tactical Breach Wizards in the heat of battle, and that’s where it functions best. Few of the scenarios are difficult, and intentionally so; the game is less about raw challenge than having you experiment in pursuit of efficiency and style. Many of the optional, more difficult objectives encourage you to squeeze 15 actions into a single turn or complete a map without letting the enemy ever fire a shot, which means constantly refreshing your actions and movements several times per turn. Even when the characters are patiently waiting their turn, there’s always a remarkable sense of speed to Tactical Breach Wizards.

---

TechRaptor - Austin Suther - 8 / 10

Tactical Breach Wizards delivers a fresh and addicting tactical experience. Using an array of awesome spells, there are limitless ways to complete the mission, making for a very inventive experience.

---

Rock, Paper, Shotgun - Nic Reuben - Unscored

Layered challenges, unhinged abilities, and generous tools to support wild experimentation combine with brilliant, laugh-out-loud funny writing. A tactics game that's as welcoming to newcomers as it is rewarding for genre aficionados. What an absolute treat.
