Fiop 12/08/23 11:56:33 AM #62 | I haven't played Macho Koro 2, but Macho Koro 1 with the expansions is a lot better IMO.
I played a bunch of Machi Koro without expansions and with a static marketplace boils down to everyone basically does one of a couple strategies (buying up multiple copies of cheaper cards and then buying whatever more expensive card plays off those cheaper ones). Whoever gets to one card type first goes that one, and then the other player goes for a different card type and whoever hits their rolls best wins. The dynamic marketplace makes it feel like a different game each time, where you need to think through what's available and can't depend on certain cards being there. --- "so is my word...It will not return to me empty, but will accomplish what I desire and achieve the purpose for which I sent it." - Isaiah 55:11 |

I don't care a ton about trophies... but tying the "collect all curiosities" trophy to the challenges, which already has its trophy, is bad.I agree with this. I did all the sidequests, but I didn't feel like doing all those Chronolith challenges for the last curiosity. I mean, I tried the Shiva one and it wasn't bad from a gameplay perspective, but I have other games I'd rather get to at this point. --- "so is my word...It will not return to me empty, but will accomplish what I desire and achieve the purpose for which I sent it." - Isaiah 55:11 |

It's a good thing I don't bet, I'm awful against the spread lolOdds-makers are pretty good at figuring out spreads. It's basically a 1/4 shot to get two right unless the spreads move enough after they're posted here. I would definitely skip level 3. Level 5 is the same way with over/under. I'm one bonus point away from skipping level 5, which I'll do if it comes down to it. --- "so is my word...It will not return to me empty, but will accomplish what I desire and achieve the purpose for which I sent it." - Isaiah 55:11 |

At least most of these were optional. Except the one where the plants grew every action and I always failed that one and had my brother do it.Yeah the hard ones being optional is why I was able to beat the game without completing them. I do remember there being some tricky ones with regrowing grass, but I suppose I did beat those.

Topic | Puzzle game philosophies in difficulty. |
Fiop 11/14/23 12:56:52 PM #3 | I like all types, and to mix things up. Based on your descriptions, I picked hard. I enjoyed the Witness and solved all the puzzles except maybe 2 without help (couldn't complete the big timed one at the end, though). A game like the Witness is conceptually simple enough to still be fun. Though "hard" puzzles that are computationally difficult aren't always fun. I'm thinking of hard sudokus or chess problems which require thinking lots of moves ahead.
I prefer games that actually have solutions so the one you call easy would not be something I'd like as much. --- "so is my word...It will not return to me empty, but will accomplish what I desire and achieve the purpose for which I sent it." - Isaiah 55:11 |

It is one of the most unique games I've ever played. But if you get it, just be aware that it is insanely hard. It will melt your brain. But if you stick with it, you will find it so rewarding. If you give in to looking up solutions, it will send you down a path where you will lose appreciation for the game. Because, if you look up one, what personal drive will stop you from looking up more. And when you look up more, you have removed the game from the game; there is no real story or dexterity required...it is 100% puzzle. You won't have the desire or patience to suffer while your brain explodes staring at the same level for 3 hours, so you'll just look them up in less and less time, and you won't get these euphoric rushes as the solution finally clicks after hours. You will take the easy way out. Only get Baba Is You if you have the fortitude to put your brain through hell. The level design for the game is some of the best I've seen for a puzzle game; nothing feels repetitious. The game is constantly adding new mechanics, and keeps using them in ways that feel fresh. And if you do plan to get it, don't look up anything in depth about it. One of the things that kept blowing me away was how deep down the rabbit hole you start going. I just kept wondering when or how or what the end of the game was going to be, and it kept doing things.Thanks. I did end up picking this up and played a few puzzles. Not so hard so far, but I expect that to change. Making a topic is an idea, though a lot of times I play through games (especially puzzle games) in spurts, and might leave them alone for months at a time. It does sound pretty fun from your description. Yeah, for puzzle games I'm really slow to look up solutions. I beat all the puzzles in Crashmo, Pushmo World, and Fire n Ice without looking any up. Maybe some others too. I've stared at puzzles in those games for long periods of time and came back to them later like you said. I'll admit I did look up maybe 3-4 times for Captain Toad (which I got 100% on not including the big mazes). --- "so is my word...It will not return to me empty, but will accomplish what I desire and achieve the purpose for which I sent it." - Isaiah 55:11 |

Fiop 11/13/23 11:45:13 AM #175 | I just finished Captain Toad Treasure Tracker and was thinking about getting another puzzle game for the Switch (for portability). Sounds like Baba Is You could be a fun one to check out.
Of this list, I beat the Witness and Superliminal. Both were fun. Downloaded the Looker but ended up deleting it before finishing. Also played World of Goo for a few minutes on Wii. I guess I don't play many indie games, but I'll look out for other ones on this list. --- "so is my word...It will not return to me empty, but will accomplish what I desire and achieve the purpose for which I sent it." - Isaiah 55:11 |
