Video Games General

One Lonely Outpost is Stardew-like on a new planet. Was iffy when I played it,

EDIT: Stupid fat fingers.

but that was right as EA opened up. You get new colonists and stuff though, building a town.


Though my very first thought was Dark Cloud. Not a farming/town running game, but you do literally put the towns that got blown away back together.

I am not sure if it's done before

But a Post-Apocalyptic Farming Sim and/or Civilization rebuilding, sounds nice

The Enclave come in, not to commit genocide, but to take a good portion of your produce whilst legally recognizing the settlement and protecting it from raiders that were attacking
 
Know any games involving creating a new town
Ni No Kuni 2 and Nelke & The Legendary Alchemists both have city building elements blended into JRPGs. Nelke is part of the larger Atelier franchise and Ni No Kuni 2 is Ghibli related. Pathfinder Kingmaker has an entire kingdom management layer that I'll be honest I did not get that far into to play with much if at all.
Or reviving a broken down one?
There's Harvest Moon: Light of Hope. It's not a game I've played but had heard good things about. It is however a farming sim and so not sure if it's up your alley specifically. Coral Island also has some of that but it is another farming simulator and so again not sure it'd be your thing.

There might be others I'm not thinking of but that's what immediately comes to mind.

I also thought of Dark Cloud but it was less city buildery and more like a puzzle when it came to those mechanics? I guess it counts though.

I wouldn't say it is exactly either, but the interactions with the townsfolk once you rebuild their houses does push it closer to that.

It would've been interesting if the 100% completion/arrangement rewards were parties with the whole town instead of quick rewards.

Amazingly enough, there is a Fallout mod for that: Sim Settlements 2 for Fallout 4. It's less of an overhaul of the Settlement system and more of near total conversion complete with its own storyline, characters, and full content patches. In fact yesterday the team released their 3.4 update; Weapons of Mass Destruction, with a trailer during Bethesda's Fallout Day presentation.

I tried Daemon X Machina on my PC, won't work with a PS4 controller for some reason

Is it good on Steamdeck? Or will overheat too much?

I only play metroidvanias, side scrollers and top down games on it, because I am afraid of it blowing up

Have you tried turning Steam Input on? And connecting it to the PC via USB? I play pretty much everything with a PS4 controller as well.

If that fails there's many solutions. But really, Steam Input should do the trick.
 
So. I know the news spread very quickly on SB, the discord server I tend to use as my "home" server (aka the one I'm likely to leave the app on when I switch away), and likely many other places, but I haven't seen it here, so...

Early this morning, Nintendo and Monolith dropped this bombshell:

All I can say is FINALLY!!! And here I was thinking it wouldn't happen...

It was dropped in the Xenoblade specific thread, but yeah, the hype is real.
 
I'm trying to remember a video game where you play as a character that travels to Hollow Earth and get access to an exoskeleton that lets you grapple hook and take the soul/lifeforce to solve puzzles. I think it was an early 2000s game.

Does this ring a bell for anyone?
