Interesting New Games

[Ian C]

Rather than make three posts...

These are looking interesting. Dishonoured 2 is a no-brainer for me, but I'll wait a bit after release to avoid disappointment.

This looks interesting to me, in spite of the cartoony graphics.  Supposedly there is a pretty deep turn-based political simulation.  From what I've heard, it's a board game as if designed by George Orwell.

House of the Dying Sun has been available in early access for a lon time. It has a very cool art direction and aesthetic, but other than that enjoyment of the game has eluded me. I've had a lot of problems configuring the controls to my satisfaction and this has caused a tremendous amount of frustration.

That being said, it is one of a handful of space combat games that runs in both standard mode and in VR.

You're welcome. It appears there are a few prequels to that too.

Thank you Ian. I just put House of the Dying Sun into my wishlist. Dishonored 2 is a no brainer for me, as I loved the first one very much. Will be checking out the Eisenwald game. I never really got into the first one but I didn't dedicate enough time to it.

I tried the first game again last night and what annoys me about it is (and maybe it's a setting) damage is dealt to the enemy before the animation occurs.  Really spoils the whole reason for the animation.

There's only about a dozen reviews for the new Eisenwald game on Steam but most of them are negative because players think it's a thinly veiled metaphor for the 2016 US presidential election...

So then....it's shallow and full of deception and lies?

It's not entirely wrong, you know:

Anyway, I just started playing the base game, so far I like what I see.

[Gusington]

I'm just about to purchase the new Eisenwald. Offered for 6.47 on Steam if you own the base game.

Is it an expansion or standalone?  I bought the base game in Early Access, but by the time the release was official had moved on to newer and shinier things. I should probably go back to it one day.

[Gusington]

It is standalone but discounted if you own the original.
