There's​ a thread for the game on the first page with more explanations if you feel like digging into it. Last page alone is pretty damning.

Formicide just came out of Greenlight for the low, low price of completely free. It looks bonkers. With Death Tank being MIA on the PC, I've been wanting a real time take on Worms for a long time. I'll have to get some gifs up later.

Dammit steam! Death's Gambit ended up on the new releases list. Got me all hyped for a minute there, but I think it is just a relic of an older release date.

It's the Resogun folks + the creator of Smash TV and Robotron
The hype is real
Frenetic af, gorgeous, crazy bullet and enemy patterns, clever level design, and you're really propelled to flow through the levels as smoothly as possible to get that high score.

Anyone played Pathfinder adventures?
It came out to steam on the 15. Most of the negative reviews are saying that they changed things form the mobile version and that the game haves plenty of bugs. I do not worry for the bugs, since it is an Obsidian game, so is something you expect about them q:
So, anyone played both versions? Do you recommend the steam edition?
Thanks!!!

I'm trying to find a recently released indie game. I can't remember the name, but it's a turn-based sci-fi/cyberpunky RPG in the JRPG style. I believe the battle layout is similar to the vertical columns style of Final Fantasy 1-6. There was a GAF user who had an avatar of one of the main characters for quite a while IIRC. I think it came out recently. Anyone know what I'm talking about? It's on PSN too IIRC.

Lovely thread
Does anyone remember the name of that game, where ir's 2D and pixelated and you play robotic judge dredds? It may have been Minimax or something I remember liking the video of it a lot.
Also I want Metroid Maker to be a thing

Did the dev get onto an engine, is that UE4?
Not sure who played it, so:
Final Station is a pretty nifty little game. Survival Action Horror kinda thing, but most elements are relatively toned down in favor of story exposition. The game is split in two parts, in one you need to take care of your train and your passengers, in the other, you need to sneak/fight zombies to advance.
The highlight is the world building though, they really had some great ideas for the setting/how to visualize their post apocalypse in pixel style.
Well done, definitely recommended. Currently 60% off on Steam and for PS4.

How's the zombie combat/encounters? The 2D nature made it kind of boring in the trailer
Relatively simple, but surprisingly well thought out actually. You have limited resources, so you cant shoot yourself through everything, the enemies have different approaches, some cant be shot, so you need to find other ways, or just run away, hoping there wont be a horde of zombies behind the next door. Its not lighting up the world with its unique mechanics, but they work well for the experience they wanted to craft and complement the world building/setting, which is the actual highlight, very nicely. Polished and very enjoyable, if you like Postapoc stuff, definitely recommended to pick up.
It has decent pacing too, played it for 2 hours now and no part ever drags on too long and the "setting" or story bits you pick up actually work as a nice reward for game progression.

Any hidden indie gems in the steam sale people would recommend? I already have a bit of a wishlist going but would love to be able to expand it a bit.

Induction
Recursed
Wuppo

Wuppo is already on the list and Induction is already in my library. But thanks kindly for the other recommendations. Recursed slipped through the net and it would be a shame not to pick that up.

If I had played Wuppo last year it could end in my top 5. Surprisingly good and I have no idea how I missed it, I really hope it gets more sales now.

Tempted to get Spark.
Do it. If you like 2D Sonic or Freedom Planet, you'll most likely enjoy Spark. Great music, controls like a dream, and looks really nice. One of the few that nails the 16-bit look imo.
My only issue with it is that it was a bit too easy, other than that, it's my favorite platformer this year so far.

One of the best games of the year, which says a lot considering the amount of good games this year.
Looks like they managed to create a new concept that will be even less appealing to the "masses" than Eidolon.

If it helps, I am now putting Eidolon on the steam sale wish list. Although I am 20% certain I may already own it, need to check when I get back.
Fantastic experience, hope you enjoy it when you get to it.
