Ultimate Chicken Horse has quickly become the goto-local-multiplayer in my group.
The game design is so devilishly elegant: you co-create 2D jump&run levels. Together you want to make them so easy that at least one player can finish the level (and get points), but also hard enough that not all of the group get through (no one gets points).
It’s great. Will most likely be on sale. Don’t sleep on it!
May I throw „Cassette Beasts“ in the mix? Is it premium as in the seventh installment of a series that lost its soul with the second release? As in costs 60+€ and is a collectathon with no heart? No. Not premium.
But it has
Also lots of stuff to find and discover. Also also does not break the bank. Also also also does not eat the SteamDecks battery for lunch, because it’s only 2D. And finally, for us old people, the combat is turn based. You will not fail because of lacking reflexes.
To be fair: „large scale multiplayer FPS combat with vehicles“ DOES kinda describe Battlefield. Are there differences? Obviously yes. Are the also comparable? Also obviously yes. It’s not like they are comparing Battlefield to Hearts of Iron or something…
It’s crazy to me that this is a web app. I usually prefer native apps, but this thing? Wow.
How does it run on Deck? I tried it briefly on Xbox thanks to Gamepass. The game looks lovely, the first hour or so was fun. It feels like a perfect deck game, but only if the performance is stable.
How is DayZ 1 nowadays? Haven’t played it in years…
I feel like I am really the only one who didn’t liked Elden Ring on deck. I adored the game on my desktop, but the performance on deck made it significantly more difficult. I feel this game really benefits from a stable 60fps.
I would be happy enough if the thing would download stuff when the screen is turned off…
Beat Saber & VTOL VR are my recommendations for VR games that can be more then a 30min ExpErIEncE.
You didn’t ask, I know… :-)
