Reply to Which game sequel is better than the original? by illbeurHuckleberry69

Compared to movies, most sequels in gaming are better than the original. They just have better game mechanics, and technology grants you better graphics and more advanced things to do etc.

When sequels fail is when either story elements ruin it, or developers change the game so drastically it can't be recognized as the same series or is dumb down in some ways. Oh and severe monetization and stuff like that.

Reply to Best long-term progression-based games to start with friends by Mattersy

Sounds like you want Deep Rock Galactic or Vermintide 2. Both are co-op games based on doing missions with friends. And after missions you do the long-term progression part where you slowly improve your characters before going on more missions. Also maybe Risk of Rain 2

Reply to Please please please play Hi-Fi rush by johnnyramboii2

I was really into the game at the start but the further I get the more annoyed I get with the combat. There is just too much timing based stuff for my taste. Especially the parry system is just too hard to get down for me. And I don't get how you are supposed to do all these long combos when enemies constantly interrupt you.

And I have to admit I think the music gets very repetitive after a while, not really that odd as everything is tied to the same beat. But for a game designed around music, this is a pretty bad omen.

The stand outs for me are the boss fights, and I wish I could skip all the normal combat and just have boss fights as they are actually fun. I just think the combat works much better when you focus on one enemy and not surrounded by many.

Definitely a game made with passion though, as the visuals, animations and artistic design of the game is amazing. Great game, but I think it is a bit of a niche genre that not everyone will enjoy.
