This is wonderful to take so much feedback, and then re-release an improved demo. Legend developers.

Man, don't tempt me! I shouldn't spend another umpteen hours modding the game and then never playing it, should I?!?!?!?!?

Quoting: bisbyxI wanted a mindless diving game. The restaurant minigame had enough complexity (or at least perceived complexity in the moment) that it made me put it down, because I didn't want to think too hard. Haven't picked it back up yet, though I intend to eventually.

Oh just wait, at some point the game also gives you an entire fish farm to manage as well! It's a whole different area and interface, etc... That kinda bummed me out as well. I really don't want that, but now I guess I have to manage it?

Also, I had NO IDEA I was wasting a ton of food each night by not selecting an amount of 1 for every single dish and then enabling "autofill" or whatever that option is. Very poorly explained. I could have made SO much more money, but oh well.

If you like retro fps (I dislike the term boomer shooter) then this is a must buy! I'm having an absolutely blast in the game. PURGE THE HERETIC

Get a free copy of Prey with Prime Gaming

Quoting: HJThat isn't Prey though, it's Prey (2017)

I honestly think this idiotic naming convention is one of the big reasons it had mediocre sales. It was an AMAZING game (still my all time fav from Arkane) but I think a ton of people just thought it was a remake of the 2006 game. The former game was average at best, but when people saw the same name and looked at a screenshot and saw it was an fps, they just passed on it.

Very exciting! I love the openmw project. This might actually convince me to get another playthrough started. I'd love to experience the Tamriel content.

This seems awesome, but I still have no desire to move away from my bequiet case. Best I've ever used. In the future though I'll definitely keep this in consideration for another build.

Quoting: PhiladelphusI knew there was a game I was looking forward to which had a demo out at this, but, checking now, it appears no fewer than five games* on my Wishlist have demos to check out.

*Viewfinder, One Lonely Outpost, Shadow Gambit: The Cursed Crew, Station to Station, and Jumplight Odyssey, for the curious.

Similar experience here! Very exciting! My list is:

Sea of Stars, Shadow Gambit, Steamworld, CyberKnights. Mostly I'm super pumped to fire up CyberKnights because the Trese devs are just gold.

Here's how to run Diablo 4 on Steam Deck

Just a note for my fellow players: I had some troubles with a super laggy battle net launcher. Sometimes it would just take FOREVER to launch and become unresponsive. I did some research, and changed my dns from isp default to cloud flares 1.1.1.1 and it fixed it immediately. Apparently battle net is finicky with dns.
