Lunacid - King's Fieldalike with a great atmosphere and PS1 era esthetic. Fun hidden secrets (sometimes a little too obscure, but whateva, still fun) that I fell in love with as a fan of the OG From Soft King's Field/Eternal Ring games.
Signalis - A thought provoking horror sci-fi game about an android trying to find their missing ship captain on a far away planet. I don't want to stay more to stay away from spoilers, but this plays homage to OG Resident Evil and other early survival horror games from a top down perspective.
Pyre - A sports game and VN hybrid made by Supergiant games. Not as popular (At least I think) as Hades, Transistor, and Bastion. Just fantastic story and world building with characters that you end up feeling so passionately for by the end of the game. Just a wonderful game and probably my favorite Supergiant game barely in front of Hades.
Dusk - A retro FPS ala Quake 1 era games. The game that kicked off the newest resurgence of "Boomer shooters" and is one of the best out there. Wonderful secrets and level design along with some solid atmosphere and scares by those New Blood boys that I love so much.
I've never seen anyone else ever mention King's Field 🥹
You ever watch IronPineapple on YouTube?
He's a bit of a FromSoft fanboy, with his longest and most popular series being "Steam Dumpster Diving" where he searches the Internet for any games with a "Soulslike" tag and reviews them. He's spent more than a few videos talking about King's Field and FromSoft's other earlier games.
Also he made some absolutely nasty For Honor vids a few years back that I think are worth checking out even today.
From Soft pulled me in with the first Armored Core because I've always been into massive robots, so I checked more of their stuff out using the library dial up and found out about King's Field. I love slow dungeon crawlers and weird shit, so it was a match for me the whole way. Lunacid really plays it up too. You can tell the developer loves those old games.
Dusk and Ultrakill both are my favorite.
I've been putting off playing Ultrakill until it finally releases, but from the little I had to check out when I bought it; I thought it was great. I'm excited to play it. Dusk is also just fantastic. It's hard to pick a favorite from the New Blood games for me. Amid Evil is also up there.
Amid Evil. Yeah, I will definitely play it after upgrading my laptop.
I’m not normally into fantasy at all and I was gripped by Pyre’s story and characters. It’s a real testament to Supergiant’s writing abilities that I’d kill to see it picked up for a series by someone and it’s the game of theirs I most consider replaying just to spend time in the world again.
That ending video rolling and the absolutely beautiful personalized version of Bound Together playing is one of my favorite moments of any game I've played. I would love to go back to that world in other mediums.
