    They don’t make good games anymore

    okay you have GOT to play Sea of Stars. You ever want to play Chrono Trigger with a friend or spouse? It’s 3 player Chrono Trigger and the story is good. So i guess you could play it with a polycule, i never thought of that before.

      Thanks for the rec! Tons of great indies. I was referring specifically to huge budget games

      I fucking hated Garl. He had the same energy as “who had a better story than Bran” in GoT.

      But everyone in the game loved him so much more than I could even imagine.

      Anyway, the game is alright. A few too many nods to old RPGs and, imo, it didn’t stand on its own well enough.

        That’s fair. Not every thing out there is for everyone and this felt like fanservice writ just for me. Some games resonate and some don’t. I especially liked it because my wife, who really has only gotten into stardew and monkey island/grim fandango, independently asked to play it. Like, it wasn’t always me bringing up when would our next session be, and that felt special. She’s relatively new to gaming and it was simple enough that she could grasp and enjoy the mechanics. There were enough granular difficulty settings that you could play exactly the game that you wanted to play. If you weren’t enjoying it, I mean aside from the story and complaints about taste are as varied and valid as… Shit I’m too tired enough to make an appropriately crude metaphor but assume I referenced diogenes and buttholes. I think I mentioned everything is for everyone or something like that. The game was as easy or hard as you wanted it to be. If there is a sequel to the game I will buy it, especially if it’s the same folks writing it.

      As soon as I can assemble my own polycule, this will be the first game we play.

      Followed by Slay the Spire 2 co-op.

        My wife just purchased a game for me and I am eager to play it, but it has to be couch coop for sea of stars, doesn’t it.
