    Incline Skill systems (you really liked)

    This is a bit out of left field, but I really liked the pre-New Game Experience skill system from Star Wars Galaxies. As I remember it you had enough skill points and some change to master a couple of professions, but could also have a myriad of useful hybrid builds as there was no real class...

    No Rest For The Wicked - Isometric Action RPG with Unprecedented Verticality from The Maker of Ori Games - now on Early Access

    A surprise to be sure, but a welcome one. I pirated EA 1.0 to check it out, and I think it is decent. May well buy it after this news.

    Good gaming channels on Youtube?

    Not sure if already posted, but I really like Aesir Aesthetics, he's a Finnish Youtuber who normally focuses on From Software, going all the way back to Kings Field. Does a lot of story and lore deep dives and also has some really good videos on game design, even has an interview with Chris...

    Cain on Games - Tim Cain's new YouTube channel

    Hey, I'm not saying Vault-Tec's deciding to drop a nuke makes sense, I'm saying that Tim's theory that they planned to but got beaten to it makes sense. Vault-Tec dropping a nuke to be a monopoly of nothing and repopulate the world with management or whatever was probably the most retarded plot...

    Cain on Games - Tim Cain's new YouTube channel

    The point Tim made about Vault-Tec maybe planning to launch the first nuke, but never actually getting the opportunity to do it as China or the US beat them to it gave me pause. It actually makes sense (in the context of an overall senseless story), why else would the Vault-Tec exec allow her...

    He liked it, somehow. I thought it was terrible.

    Warhammer Warhammer 40,000: Rogue Trader - turn-based Warhammer 40k RPG from Owlcat Games - Void Shadows DLC coming August 8th

    I've been playing this for a while, in Act 2, reached Janus. Really enjoying their take on WH40K, think the art and atmosphere (even the UI/HUD) is outstanding and the mechanics & builds, while not being as complex as Pathfinder are pretty interesting and engaging. My negative impression is...

    KickStarter Hibernaculum - sci-fi survival horror dungeon crawler from Wormwood Studios' Victor Pflug

    Do we at least know if this is real time or turn based? Surely at least gameplay fundamentals like that have been agreed?

    Incline First Person Perspective (FPP) Adventure Recommendations

    Really interesting thread, never really played many FPP Adventure titles, but some of these look really good. A couple of other suggestions, the first definitely qualifying for the thread KGB - 1992 - Dev: Cryo Games Publisher: Virgin Interactive This is a tough as nails adventure with...

    Ghost of Tsushima - open world game set in feudal Japan

    I played in Kurosawa mode on PS5 with the minimal HUD/HUD off, it is very atmospheric and immersive if you enjoy the old samurai films. I also played the Lethality difficulty mode where you (and the enemies) die in a couple of hits, it was a great experience. Yeah it does feel a bit like a UBI...

    The Ascent - isometric, co-op cyberpunk action RPG

    I enjoyed the gameplay as well, probably not as much as I enjoyed the visual spectacle, but the gameplay was solid. I played on Hard Mode and some of the missions are insanely difficult, the final mission is ridiculous. I normally hate ARPGs where there are a ton of mobs, but, apart from a few...

    No Rest For The Wicked - Isometric Action RPG with Unprecedented Verticality from The Maker of Ori Games - now on Early Access

    Not many isometric souls style games on the market. If this includes all or most of the Souls sub-genre staples it will be almost completely unique. If it has well crafted combat encounters and doesn't descend into swarms of enemies, AOE spinning attacks and maximum visual clutter, it will be...

    The ugliest RPG protagonists/characters

    Been playing the 2D sidescroller RPG Dex recently, it has some absolutely hideous character portraits Really surprised no one has posted the character from the new Fable game.
