oh wow, it's been a LONG time since I thought about Children of Morta. Man that game sucked away my entire life there for a short time. SO GOOD. If you are at all even remotely close to being fans of that genre, and you haven't tried it, I can't recommend it enough. And normally I can't stand rougelikes. That's how good it is.

I've never been able to shake the filth off this game in my mind since release, which is just really bad on my part I know, but I just can't seem to do it. I know I should absolutely give it another try and see what it's like after dozens of massive free updates, but .............. I think it's just a lost cause.

Quoting: CatKillerI've been playing Sail Forth on the Deck. It's pretty sweet. I was enjoying it enough that I also got the DLC, although I've not done any of the DLC content yet.

This looks wonderful! Thanks for the suggestion.

Been loving Zoria Age of Shattering. It's a super fun crpg that has some interesting outpost mechanics and tons of squad member options. It's a small passion project game made by 3 people so it's nowhere near as polished as the big heavy hitting aaa games, but I kind of like that about it. Highly recommend for fans of the genre.

Last Epoch adds a new evade ability, a new end-game system, more boss fights

Last Epoch is amazing. I think it's probably the best there is in its genre right now. Nothing else comes even close. I was highly addicted to it last year after it hit 1.0 and got some patches. I got to end game and got a little bored, but maybe I should take another look now!

100 updates later, Cyber Knights: Flashpoint is shaping up to be a fantastic squad-tactics RPG

I only have the rare exception to my rule of never buying anything in EA / kickstarter / etc... and this developer is one of those exceptions. They are just a wonderful studio. I've had this game in my library for a while and I swear it gets updates pretty much just constantly. It's amazing how much work they're putting into this game.

Very much looking forward to release! I typically don't even get into this genre (xcom-likes) but for these devs I certainly will give it a try!

Quoting: shadow1w2No surprise that RPGs fit well on the deck.
Being able to sleep the machine and resume quickly is a big help for lengthy games plus playing them on the go.

Least for myself I rarely have the solid uninteruppted free time but plenty of smaller moments which is great for an arcade game run but lengthy stuff if I can't pause and resume I rarely finish even half.

Hope to see some competition in this space for the top Deck rpg.

Totally agree on the sleep and resume function for longer rpgs. I just can't fathom how people can play incredibly complex CRPGS like BG3 with cluttered interfaces on such a tiny screen with a controller. I spent a lot of time in bg3 in the "open all inventories" screen with every characters inventory open, and swapping items around. How would that even be possible on a handheld? There's so many other questions like that.
