We love Frostpunk in this house.

Have you played the sequel? Im curious if it's worth it

[โ€“] [email protected] 6 points 3 months ago (1 children)

It's a good game on its own right, but very different from the original.

Feels more like a spinoff than a sequel, but I liked it.

[โ€“] [email protected] 3 points 3 months ago

Thanks. I'll have to try it out

[โ€“] sloppychops 3 points 3 months ago

Yeah, quite different. The Civ style hex based grid took a bit of getting used to.

Thank you for pointing this out!

Neocore games, Hungarian developers with great ARPG titles like Warhammer 40k Inquisitor, The Incredible Adventures of Van Helsing.

Also many small studios in Slovakia, my favourites are the indie RPGs: Vikings: Wolves of Midgard, Shadows: Awakening, Vaporum

bloober team is horrible lol let's not praise them for their country of origin alone

[โ€“] [email protected] 1 points 3 months ago

I played Layers of Fear(Bloober) right after SOMA (Froctional games) and LoF was extremely subpar.

Years later I tried The Blair Witch (Bloober) and it was terrible

Poland also makes dope tactical/outdoor gear shout out to Helikon Tex

[โ€“] [email protected] 1 points 3 months ago (1 children)

I am just sad they don't produce in Poland. Unlike I believe, the Slovenian, (though way more expensive) UF Pro

[โ€“] [email protected] 1 points 3 months ago

That is unfortunate

Last year I played mostly Polish games and I must say the style and attention to detail is unmatched for titles with same budget/intended audience.

And yes, they are indeed "polished".

[โ€“] [email protected] 4 points 3 months ago

There's also โ€œagainst the stormโ€ - a cool city builder kinda game with a cool twist:

you really have around 2 to 3 hours for a base and dependent on your performance you can unlock more stuff for your future bases

Luv me houseflipper!

[โ€“] [email protected] 2 points 3 months ago

What no love for The Thaumaturge? It's one of the most Polish games I've ever played.

[โ€“] [email protected] 2 points 3 months ago (2 children)

Outriders was such a disappointment. It had a good amount of marketing put into it, was clearly meant to be a gaas, but fell flat on its face pretty quickly and even released a DLC content update very shortly after release, and was then abandoned.

But so many other good games on that list!

[โ€“] [email protected] 1 points 3 months ago

I had a blast playing it with a friend, nice power fantasy game.

[โ€“] [email protected] 1 points 3 months ago

Yeah, I came here to say, it feels wrong reducing People Can Fly to Outriders when pretty much every game they made before are much more interesting

[โ€“] [email protected] 2 points 3 months ago

The Invicible is an amazing sci-fi adventure/walking simulator, with a story taken from a Stanislaw Lem novel.

[โ€“] [email protected] 2 points 3 months ago

Please keep it from enshitifying.

[โ€“] [email protected] 1 points 3 months ago

iDreams (Infinite Dreams) didn't make the cut? I love their Sky Force games.

[โ€“] [email protected] 1 points 3 months ago

This war of mine is very interesting and a novel use of the medium
