He also recently released IXE which is a bit like 2, but with mobile units instead.

Are these like a Minecraft game?

The inability to resize the Undertale window without using a third-party program like Sizer continues to be INFURIATING to me.

Undertale is a good game, but it just makes me so goddamn angry every time I open it to not have control over the sizing on my own goddamn monitor that I haven't been able to finish it.

I think I missed the window on Undertale. Who knows, if I played it when I was 17 I might have a different opinion but the whole "I'm so quirky and random" schtick doesn't really land with me.

It's not really my jam

I watched someone's entire playthrough of it on YouTube, which I find to be a decent middle ground. In fact, someone else I know doesn't even game any more and just watches playthroughs; better to see an expert do it with insightful or fun commentary than to get frustrated from not knowing what to do, etc. when we have such limited time in our lives anyway. Maybe that's why I generally prioritize roguelites nowadays; if I'm gonna play something, I wanna ensure it's a unique challenge that possibly not even the devs have ever exactly seen, and not simply be treated like a rat in a fixed maze to figure out precisely or struggle otherwise when other people have done it.

Anyway, I digress; Infested Planet is $1.94 USD for another recommendation, and it's awesome. The trailer undersells it if anything.

I was thinking about this one too. Not sure if I'll buy it, but it's the only one I'm considering at the moment.

I’m in the same boat. Got it in the cart, unsure if I’ll hit buy

Do it!

I went to check it out and it's already in my library. Must have snagged it in the last sale.

Rain World is very, very niche in its appeal, but it's perhaps the best argument for games as art that I've ever come across. I've never had to rethink what a game even is in order to engage with something before.

Going to vouch for this game. I’ve been really enjoying it.

Best experienced without spoilers. Don’t even look up the creatures if you can resist.

You are not a hero, you’re are a small animal in a living ecosystem.

This is my son's favorite game. Seems to have decent replay value.
