A gaming sub free from the hype and oversaturation of current releases, catering to gamers who wait at least 12 months after release to play a game. Whether it's price, waiting for bugs/issues to be patched, DLC to be released, don't meet the system requirements, or just haven't had the time to keep up with the latest releases.

Humble Bundle currently has an offer for some Metroidvania games. I picked it up but already had a couple of them, so I'm giving those Steam keys away. If you redeem it, please comment so I don't try to give it away again.

~~Bloodstained: Ritual of the Night: RHK6K-KWLAX-W2P7C~~ (claimed)

Blasphemous was pretty fantastic, really stunning pixel art.

Thank you very much! I redeemed the codes, really excited to try them out :D

You're welcome, enjoy! They're both great games!

Ah, too slow for Hollow Knight, but thanks for sharing.

I have played hollow knight before, but I played on switch. Still tempted to get this bundle for some of the other games. Anyone played Lone Fungus or Haiku? I hadn't heard of either of those prior to this bundle.

[–] ForNoRaisin@beehaw.org 2 points 1 year ago

I hadn't either, but I have them downloaded now so I'll give them a try

If you're still considering, I've put a couple hours into both games at this point.

I'm really enjoying Haiku. The gameplay is solid and feels similar to hollow knight, though probably not as good yet. I like how the abilities are all flavored around you being a robot, e.g. you unlock wall jumping after installing magnets in your feet. The visual design is also very clear and cohesive, and I personally like the look.

Lone Fungus is decent. It's not very challenging yet, but it seems like they will be incorporating your movement abilities into navigation and combat much more than Haiku. I'm disappointed that so far none of the abilities are related to being a mushroom, you just run and jump around hitting things with a sword.

I'm looking forward to playing through both games as well as Rain World and Blasphemous.

Thanks, yeah I think I am going to get it. More games for the backlog!
