This community was made because I didn’t see an Amiga community on #Lemmy, so I thought, “Hey, why not make one?”
But I chose to make it on #Piefed instead because Piefed seems to have better moderation options than other federated Reddit-like software.
I’m looking forward to this!
One of my favourite puzzle games ever.
I should also mention that this game is available on GOG for the same price:
A survival horror that's controlled entirely by typing on a keyboard. Online co-op is available. No reviews yet but I like the premise. Might be playable on a Steam Deck if you connect it to a keyboard. Demo is available for you to try before you buy. Also, the dev is broadcasting his playthrough right now.
This is a remake of Doors of Insanity, released in 2021 -- but has since been de-listed. Yes, it's a card battler. However, it's one you can play on your Steam Deck or with a gamepad. No reviews yet, but this is published by Neon Doctrine, who also brought us Count Lucanor and Devilated.
Basically, this is a 2D vampire-themed narrative RPG with a fun art style, great voice acting, and strong lesbian subtext. The soundtrack sounds amazing, and you can buy it as DLC. This game supports both Xbox and DualShock gamepads. So far, both critics and gamers love this game. A demo is also available, so it's worth trying before buying.
It's also important to acknowledge the dev is a woman.
Okay, but do so-called "gamers" actually care about video games? Because most of the time, I don't see them talking about actual video games that they enjoy.
I'm on the fence with this one because the early access reviews are mixed. However, it's a metroidvania with a fun art style and music is enjoyable. It's also nice you can play this with a gamepad. It also looks like this is the dev's first game.
I play my Steam Deck more than my living room tower, which has a 3090. When it's time to upgrade again, I think I'll just get a Steam Deck 2 and dock it to my TV.
Microsoft also has the benefit of owning Windows.
Personally, I just just hook up my PC to my TV, run Steam in Big Picture mode, and it gives me a console experience. Not a perfect console experience, mind you, but good enough for me.
I remember gaming in the 80s and 90s, and four-year-old games were regarded as ancient. Times have really changed.
