10 PC Games That Are Perfect For Steam Deck
The final nail in the coffin for story upgrades that this game needs is a better balancing act. One would think Square Enix would be more interested in showing off its gameplay rather than its text for a demo. It seems someone was thinking the opposite because the few battles in here are about an hour apart each. Hopefully the final game won’t burden players so much with too much story all at o
Musashi is probably the most prolific XCOM modder around. The most significant mod he has ever made would have to be the RPG Overhaul mod suite . It is a hefty, huge change in the SLG Game news, altering almost every aspect at least a little bit. It could be an amazing squad-based strategy game all on its
Jumping into a quick game just to fool around or do some daily challenges is a solid way to spend a short gaming session. Though it is competitive, Fortnite allows for many different types of players, from deeply competitive people to creative types who just want to bu
Thankfully, Musashi fixed this for replayers with the Still Stop Wasting My Time Mod — updated for the War of the Chosen mod, hence the "Still" — which speeds up all the various animations that slow down the flow of gameplay. Never again will players suffer through the tedious 80-minute holo targeting animation. A nice bonus is that this mod seems to be almost universal, with no major confli
This mod makes swapping out squadmates the matter of two clicks instead of several, making weapon swapping almost instantaneous, and even allows brave Commanders to send out more than six soldiers at once! Stats, health, willpower, and even skill information are all readily available without sifting through menu after menu after menu. Thank you, Robojum
Aside from the main Command and Conquer series, it's perhaps Red Alert that amped up the gaming community's love for RTS to 11. Unlike the rather sci-fi approach of C&C , Red Alert focuses more on its alternate history take of Tesla-powered Soviet Union against the hardened military might of the Allied For
The Disgaea series has been a stalwart strategy JRPG series for quite some time, and Disgaea 5 pushes the franchise to new heights with massive quality-0f-life changes, along with the tightening of gameplay mechanics to allow for some truly nail-biting combat scenarios ind
Players of grand strategy games might have heard of Endless Legend. Moreover, it's perhaps one of the most interesting fantasy-science fiction 4X titles to have graced the PC. In this game, players end up as one of the many remnants of races in a changing Auriga. The game features 14 playable factions, with five others in expansi
FTL , or Faster Than Light , is an impressively punishing roguelike . The element of chance and dealing with impossible and unfair situations is just what fans love about it. People can do dozens upon dozens of runs through deep space before ever actually winning. Space is scary and dangerous, so it only makes sense for FTL to be so difficult. Adapting to the systems and honing FTL skills is a great thing to do on a morning comm
Who doesn't like clicking twice, six to eight times to finish an already long, grueling mission? Most people! In particular, modder tracktwo must have really hated all that extra clicking at the end of missions, because they are the author of the Evac All m
In the end, the version of XCOM 2 available on either the Xbox One or PS4 is still, unavoidably, the second best crafted by the development team. The good news is that players who prefer their couch to their desktop won't be missing out on the quality of the experience, even if the level of polish takes a hit. And with every aspect of XCOM 2 contributing to the kinds of investment, tension, and stakes usually relying on players hunched over keyboards, glued to their monitors... well, being a couch potato may have never been a more stressful experie
There is some town exploration in the demo. However, it is truncated. Most of the time it seems players will click on a map icon in order to in initiate a battle, or a cutscene. In-between some battles or story beats intel can be gathered but these exploration moments are very brief. This lack of full exploration is common for tactical RPGs so it understandable why the full game would not add this feat
This game is not officially out yet, but Baldur's Gate 3 has been receiving a lot of positive press from its Early Access release . Like many RPGs, it is all about balancing equipment and paying attention to stats. Where one can get restless doing this on a couch or in front of a desktop, RPGs have always found a good home on portable consoles purely for this reason. Fans cannot wait to get their hands on the full release, but early access offers quite a lot of content by its
Most games with a lot of text based dialogue usually have the option to let scenes play out automatically. Persona 5 Strikers is a good example that does this well. This game does not have that feature meaning one has to manually skip through text boxes as conversations wrap up. It’s not a huge grievance but it would be nice to see upgra
