Kunitsu-Gami: Path of the Goddess (Steam, PS4/5, Xbox One/Series)

Pretty original mix of brawler and tower defense, with a presentation reminiscent of Okami. Avaiable on Game Pass and has a demo on Steam.

SteamWorld Heist II (Steam, PS4/5, Xbox One/Series, Switch)

Like its predecessor, it’s basically “2D XCOM with skill shots instead of randomness”. Highly recommended, perfect for gaming on the go with a Steam Deck or Nintendo Switch.

Phenomenal game, if a bit short. And another impeccable PS5 to PC port from Nixxes.

Nostalgy drive engaged !

The Crusader series (No Remorse, No Regret) could have been built upon, with its famously cheesy live-action cutscenes.

The Quarantine series disappeared after its second installment, Road Warrior. Come to think of it, most mainstream vehicular combat games went away, like the Interstate series.

The Discworld adventure games (1, 2, Noir) were famously convoluted, but they did a pretty good job of adapting Pratchett’s world into video games.

Finally I would have liked to play the initially planned sequels to Advent Rising. I have (probably rose-tinted) fond memories of that game, but hey, you asked.

The Epic Games Launcher is so far behind on features compared to Steam it’s not even funny. Epic chose not to try and compete with Steam on that front and to try and force users onto the platform with exclusivity deals and sweeten the deal with free games.

The one user-centric killer feature Epic has in their stack IMHO is the built-in multiplayer crossplay. Except it’s not even exclusive to their store ironically (you do need an Epic account for it though).

Probably referring to the 6-month timed exclusivity on PC for EGS that Borderlands 3 went through.

Since you enjoyed BG3, I’d strongly recommend Divinity: Original Sin 1&2 if you have not played them already.

Other than that, a few random suggestions with sizeable coop campaigns:

• Outriders
• The Ascent
• Remnant 1&2
• Resident Evil 5&6
• Saints Row 3&4
• Trine 1-5
• Valheim

Mes 2 centimes: ça part d’une bonne intention. J’irai même jusqu’à dire que ça serait une bonne idée si ça avait la moindre chance d’être adopté.

L’explication de Mozilla: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/privacy-preserving-attribution L’idée est de proposer une alternative aux trackers lourds et invasifs auxquels recourent les publicitaires, dans l’espoir que les publicitaires cessent d’utiliser ces trackers.

A mon avis c’est un coup d’épée dans l’eau car Firefox n’a depuis longtemps plus la quantité suffisante d’utilisateurs pour influencer les tendances de développement du web. C’est aussi un espoir naïf car les publicitaires se repaissent de données personnelles pour alimenter leur profils, et n’ont aucune raison d’abandonner leur systèmes déjà en place, juste parce qu’une alternative devient possible.

Rendre cette option activée par défaut est maladroit, puisqu’elle provoque des réactions négatives de la part des utilisateurs de Firefox. Personnellement je me suis empressé d’aller décocher l’option. Toutefois j’apprécie que quelqu’un cherche des solutions pour assainir les relations entre les publicitaires, qui financent directement ou indirectement une bonne partie du contenu hébergé sur le web, et les utilisateurs.

Because Google is eating the monumental costs of hosting and delivering video content. The cost of maintaining client apps is negligible in comparison. YouTube is not going anywhere unless Google deems it so, or enshittifies it enough to drive users away.

Bottom line: Konami is a weird company making odd calls and has been for a long time. Someone in charge likely decided 11 years ago that MGRR should not be released on PC in Japan and that’s all there is to it.

Well they are still missing the self replicating part… But you know, give it some time.
