I haven’t played Genshin Impact, but from what I recall from trailers, there are many anime game with similar art style. I am currently playing Atelier Ryza, and I believe it has similar art style too.
Even with Hades, I don’t think the art style is difficult, but a lot of effort has gone into visuals of that game. There is lots of detail in everything. So, maybe in that sense it can said to be hard to reproduce.
Yeah, Mirage is not a free to play game. Must be a trial version, with option to buy the full game.
I agree with you, handheld can never compete with a desktop when it comes to raw power. So, if companies don’t consider it as a platform to target for, you’ll always have problem with latest games. Maybe not at launch, but you can’t upgrade a handheld “console” every year or two.
That’s the good thing about consoles, you buy it, and you know (most of) the games that come to the platform will just run on it.
I don’t have a SteamDeck so not sure how it works, but maybe they should make a sub-store for SteamDeck, that only has games that are verified to run on it. They can still have an option to search and download game from full steam store, but it should come as a warning that these games aren’t specifically made / optimized for Deck.
Just thinking out loud. Don’t actually know what SteamDeck owners really want. :-)
Apparently they confirmed, and it isn’t fake 😀
According to a comment on another post on lemmy. The takedown notice is fake, probably sent by some troll. Garry’s Mod is still removing stuff though, because they think it’s real.

Maybe a new head of department?
Not out yet, but coming very soon, Another Crab’s Treasure (Check the release date trailer: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yEaLBYS6YMw ).
Of course, since it’s not out, we can’t say if it’ll be a good game or not, but it looks good, and is a colourful looking soulslike. (Which I am looking forward to myself)
Well, Mario has kind of a general appeal, so I won’t call it a niche (and it was in 12th with just physical sale). And Pikmin 4 also sold over 2 Million in just first month or so, IIRC, though not sure if that’s enough for being a top seller in a year like the one we just had.
Also, Tears of the Kingdom was on 5th overall sales, and that’s only with the physical sales. Don’t know the actual number difference between 1st and 5th, but with digital added, it could’ve at least entered top 3, if not gone for 1st.
No worries. Of all the games mentioned above Starfield was probably my most anticipated. But it let people down.
Haha, they probably means the smaller games they release. Like that “Various Daylife”, what to call these games? They aren’t AAA or AA.
While that might be true, 2023 was an year filled with great games and yet Hogwarts Legacy is first, and Call of Duty is 2nd.
As for notable games of the year that weren’t flop (in no particular order):
Not to mention:
They may not be to your taste, but they all rated very highly. I haven’t included any Nintendo games, cause they don’t share digital data. Their numbers are based only on physical sales.
If there isn’t one, I think that’s a good idea for a website. If anyone is willing to take up the mantle. 😀
Well, as pretty much the biggest instance, it provides the best data for load-testing. 🫣
Why not a general Fantasy community, for more engagement?
That’s actually same as me. I did play Diablo 2 tons of time. But that was just to finish the game with different characters and different skills combo.
Like one time with Amazon with bow skills, then next time with Amazon with Javelin skills. Also, since I couldn’t afford many games back then, I would just re-install it every few months or year or so, and play through it once or twice.
Though, to be completely fair, I didn’t even know you could keep playing after finishing the game. Thought it was some glitch that game restarted again 😀
So, not exactly same as you. I want to play with all the characters. At least once.
