You know, despite all the new games I play, there's almost never anything really good. Something actually enjoyable comes along maybe once a month, and a truly great game maybe once or twice a year. I suppose the specific games differ depending on which genre you're after, but there's still a very lengthy period between completing one good game and finding another.
Although with ~100 games that are still sitting in my to-play list, I shouldn't be the one to make these complaints. I'm just getting the feeling like my efforts of looking through all the games myself are kind of going to waste, because if ever another really good game came along I'd know about it anyways.
This was actually just a small rant / prelude to explain that I'm not really satisfied with the games I found after fixing my parser and going through nearly a week's worth of Steam's new releases, but I figured I'd pick something at least. And oddly all my three picks have an aesthetically similar look to them.
WaveLand is like a platformer, but it's made for speedrunning, not puzzles, as they usually are? From my own description, I guess it's kind of like Super Meat Boy, except it looks like the movement feels different? Heck, like I said, I wasn't particularly satisfied with what I found this week.
Flinthook is the most promising of these three. It's a room-based grapplingflint hook rogue-like thing. And from the screenshots, a whole lot is happening at all times. But I won't know how good it is until I try it, so until then.
And then Red Obsidian Remnant, which is also a rogue-like. Except it's Chinese, looks cute, and is a dungeon-crawling RPG. Uh, yeah.
