Have I unknowingly repeated myself ?

Infinifactory, by the same dev, however is another story.

Both are good, but I enjoy TIS-100 more because of how much more challenging it is. Infinifactory has a much friendlier difficulty curve, so it's easier to get into, but it also doesn't even begin to approach the level of satisfaction that is achieved when a TIS-100 puzzle is solved.

That's where we're different. I love to program and solve logic puzzles, but I'm not creative enough to come up with my own programs. So when there's a new Zachtronics game I need to get on it. And as a computer engineering major, this one is the most relevant to me of all of Zach's games so far.


No, I repeated myself.

Oh yeah, I forgot that I've mentioned TIS-100 here before.

This game is kicking rad! So satisfying blasting through the sound-barrier with a hovercycle, and the entire game becomes eerily silent. The box didn't lie. To bad there are just a handfull of tracks. :(

Right now I am playing Pokemon Tower Defence on http://www.friv2online.com/ . There are many small games, very interesting. A great way to kill time and relax.

Recently started playing The Last Guardian. Still after hours of playing I am amazed about the level of detail which was put into Trico (the feathered creature). No wonder it took them years to create. He moves like a cat, follows like a dog and has feathers and small wings like a bird but is a total new creature in its own way. Can't stop watching him move / behave every time I play.
It really tests your patience and I guess a lot don't like this slow pace and miss the direct control of the creature. I find it very natural that it takes time to gain control over it and slowly during the game (until now - 5 hours in) I see the control gets better but still frustrating at times that he won't do what I want. This gives a more natural feeling and challenges to think. After all, it is puzzle adventure.

Been getting back into Minecraft now that I have a computer that can handle shaders
Makes the world more captivating which made me desire time spent in a fantasy neighborhood
of beautiful spaces
relics, parks, monuments, temples, etc.
also wings are fun
currently running a server for this kind of laid-back cozy vibe
we have a beautiful isle
visit our moon if you are interested!

Aesthetics, glad to see you're enjoying The Last Guardian - truly incredible/special/magic experience, and I've barely played over an hours worth before (don't own it myself).

Oh, I played The Last Guardian. It's an awesome game! But you must spend a lot of time in the game world. I don't a lot of free game now, I must study a lot. So I spend my small free time playing Bubble Witch, found it here theappsdepot That is an easy game, but it's for free, so I can download a new apk when I want.

Last Guardian's been mentioned a couple of times and I just wanted to say that, despite its many gameplay flaws, that is one of the most beautiful games i've ever played. Finished it last week and damn, anything that can give me that kind of an emotional reaction is top quality.

I badly want to play this game, I adore ico and the shadow of the colossus is pretty good too. I figured it may be a bit frustrating, its not like ico was perfect in terms of controls and such like but it very much made up for it in terms of atmosphere felt very unique. Wish I could afford a ps4, just a shame id only be buying it for this game alone well possibly ff7 remake too but im pretty apprehensive about that.

:-D My girlfriend and I play this all the time, we love it. Im a big fan of the original 1994 PC game though and I wished in this modern version they managed to capture the same vibe, exploring the battle scape was pretty scary and the music complimented it perfectly. The modern version doesn't have that at all, the music is bland / generic sounding and the encounters are somewhat predictable I think. The strategy game play is good fun though and the character customization is great.

IT's true, it doesn't touch the original as far as atmospherics. But as a fan of chess, it's a great new-age console game that requires strategic thinking and doesn't let you off easy
