Well, it’s certainly not point & click, but I haven’t perceived it as a typical visual novel either. After all, there’s the coffee making gameplay, which is said to influence the narrative.

Will report back once I get to play it.

There’s a HTML version of Respite (sometimes it’s easier to play in a browser):

Dai Gyakuten Saiban 2 has yet to be translated to english.
Professor Layton is very good, go play it!

594

Oh, but it’s playable online!! Thank you!

Edit 11 minutes after: It’s a short game, quite funny but in a quick span of time, it becomes boring. Nice try…

I didn’t miss it, but I don’t want to play it until it will be completely translated.

LUNA The Shadow Dust was released on GOG and Steam.

You can also get the art book and soundtrack on GOG and it seems like there are achievements on GOG too, even though it’s not listed on the game page yet!

Fenimore Fillmore: The Westerner, a remastered version of the 2nd game in the series (Wanted: A Wild Western Adventure) was just released on GOG and is currently 40% off.

Like the previous re-release (Fenimore Fillmore: 3 Skulls of the Toltecs) it comes with GOG achievements.

P.S.: GOG also released some other (non-adventure) series which people with Steam aversion can finally enjoy. Although in the last mentioned series one game is missing which title I cannot remember anyway.

Unfortunately the previous one (3 skulls) was an abomination not entirely satisfactory… :pensive:

I mean, I tried several times to pick it up again but it’s unplayable…

And I now have all GOG Wolfenstein games… again.

First impressions are mildly negative.

  • Weird controls: press E to pick up stuff like an annoying modern shooter, and Left Alt + S for some kind of bizarre extra far down crouch. This took me way too much effort to figure out. The game almost seems like it was made for a controller, which works a lot better, except then you suffer from using a controller. But since this doesn’t seem to be the kind of shooter where movement precision matters too much, this kind of thing may be the Steam controller’s time crowning achievement. Pity the Xbox One controller rumbles much better though.
  • It seems surprisingly easy in Bring It On. That’s not really a negative, because you can change the difficulty up or down at any time. But I thought Half-Life on normal was plenty challenging pretty much from the get-go.
  • Cutscene movies. No, you haven’t earned it. But at least there are no QTEs in 'em.
  • Somewhat ugly game so far, in UHD with everything maxed out. Doesn’t really matter of course, but it’s not a visual feast like Remember Me or Tomb Raider.

Positive remarks:

  • Health slowly regenerates like a modern shooter, but imo that’s a good thing. Otherwise you’re just going around with quick save/quick load until you don’t lose (too much) health in an encounter.
  • You can sneak up on guards and silent kill them, like in the original games (and was that also in RtCW?)
  • Metal Nazi guard dogs
