From the UFO 50 website:

AUTHENTIC BUT ALSO MODERN - We carefully chose what elements to modernize. Every game shares a unique 32-color palette and we took great efforts to make them look and sound like actual 8-bit titles from the 80s. On the other hand, it was important to us that UFO 50 was fun and surprising for modern players, so we chose not to limit ourselves to the genres and design conventions of the past.

They've said in interviews as well that they choose to view UFO soft as a game company that was very ahead of its time

My goty and one of my new all time favorites. It's the best bundle since the orange box. Every game is unique and awesome and very well thought out. These are not mini games, they are well well thought out, clever, and fun games.

Not all are for me, but I've had fun stumbling around each game and figuring them out. Favorites include:

  • Mini and Max

  • Party house

  • Rail heist

  • Night manor

  • Overbold

  • Warp tank

  • Mortol

Eh. They've been great at that but I dont see this as it. Handheld stuff is cool and popular right now. Don't get me wrong, they definitely could self sabotage here. They 100% did with the vita and their egregiously expensive memory cards....

But the PSP and Vita were great devices aside from that. I could see this working

 

What's all playing?

I've been playing more UFO 50, working my way through the RPG Grimstone.

Also beat Rise of the Golden Idol. A fantastic sequel that I highly encourage if you enjoyed the original.

I saw them mention this in their recent update video. Def giving this a listen haha. Sounds insane

Hey a fellow 2042 defender. Def agree with you that it gets too much hate. It def is a lot better now but I didn't hate it on launch either tbh haha

Picked simply because no souls era from soft games go above 60. I would absolutely take higher but I don't expect it

Best news Ive seen all week!

Few things I want more than PC bloodborne 😔. I'd settle for PS5 remake / remaster just to get 60fps

 

Apologies for another late post.

This week I have been playing a lot more UFO 50. I beat night manor and started grimstone finally.

Also been playing more binding of Isaac, working towards dead god.

Finally I also played a cute free game on steam called 20 small mazes. Highly recommend giving it a whirl. Takes about an hour

Disagree. Caitlyn Jenner fucking sucks but we don't have to invalidate her perfectly legitimate, valid, and real gender identity to express disdain for her

Yeah 2066 is a bummer. I think the one this article talks about and the capital gains tax were way more important to shoot down so I am at least thankful about that. And yeah Heywood absolutely is filling the Eyman shit hole and I am not looking forward to it

What I've held onto post election is my city (Seattle) and state had really good outcomes for elections. One of the few places in the country that swung more left.

There were 4 initiatives on the ballot, all put forth by a conservative millionaire to repeal good laws. One looks like it will unfortunately pass (I 2066, to get rid of electrification initiatives for housing, which is a bummer) but the other 3 lost by a lot, including the one this article mentions. We also replaced our awful 3 time losing city council member who was appointed. And we passed our very necessary transportation levy. Not to mention our former AG, who was one of trumps biggest enemies last administration is now our governor.

The next 4 years will not be nice. But I'm privileged, happy, and thankful I get to be here for them

 

Late post sorry about that.

I've been playing a lot of UFO 50. Finished golfaria and started night manor.

Also played through the puzzle game escape from mystwood mansion. It was decent. A little short but good overall.

 

I've been playing a tonnnn more UFO 50. Beat Vainger, started Mini and Max (absolutely amazing). Also did the whole meta game secret thing to the end which was super fun!

Removing for dupe

 

Whatcha all been playing?

I finished silent hill 2 and was quite happy with it. Overall some things I would have done differently but it was a really solid effort, and I think a great way to play the game if you havent before.

Also played through the Alan wake 2 lake house dlc. It was pretty good. Lore and writing was too notch as usual, but the combat I found to be pretty frustrating. A good time though. Took me about 2 hours

I'm also back on the UFO 50 grind. Cherried rail heist and I'm onto playing vainger!
