I have a weakness for Nun aesthetics (probably dire consequences of catholic school) and Evil Moon just fit the bill. You shoot enemy and they just die, no need for acrobatics. Slower paced than other shooters and with a lockon, I played it like a dungeon crawler (COMPLIMENT). s.team/a/5248110

I tried this side scroller shooter, but couldn't figure out the Controls ( - 0 -) . It's a side scroller in 3D with a button to rotate the level and one to move in depth. I feel like this is a fun idea, but I need to either not suck at the tutorial or better one. I tried s.team/a/3857520/

Played Cap 'n Barr's, and I think the screenshot is pretty self explanatory. It's a SMB3/W like with bossfights, it's pretty cute and it's not sweaty so far which is nice! I feel already for them, typing " 'n " in steam search bar is atrocious (DnG got this problem :'D). s.team/a/4567470

I've wanted to play this for so long now, yesterday I finally did! It's a very neat concept I haven't seen like this before. I'd describe it as a puzzly dungeon crawler with rewind. Also perfect atmosphere for the witchy season

I've said it in other words but Angeline era is about the joy of walking into a costco and seeing this and moving on with your life, while checklistvanias feel a bit more like checking off all the food stalls to eat at in a disneyworld

🧚ANGELINE ERA!!👼🏼 Now Out!@angelineera.bsky.social

Thank you! We deliberately designed AE to contrast against the checklist-focused exploration of metroidvanias, in favor of something less guided, and more about players making meaning from "being in the middle of what is happening in the world even if confused" vs. "uncovering what happened"

Tiring to read takes about how Wizardry in Japan "didn't evolve" or "is a throwback". The gameplay is good today so people continue to play it to this day and new games are released with that ruleset. Imagine looking at Mario and platformers and moaning about gameplay not evolving past jump.
