Whatcha playing!

I've been bouncing between a few things, but mainly I've been playing Oracle of Seasons. Had never finished it before and am pretty close now!

I played through The Forgotten City and really liked it! It’s a time looping puzzle game where you have to unravel the mystery of a strange city before every day it collapses into ruin. It really sucked me into the story and I could forgive a bit of the jankiness in the actual gameplay. The characters were all interesting and were very interconnected which made the whole thing feel quite alive. I didn’t love the ending (there are technically multiple but I managed to get the canon one on my play through), it was okay but a little out of nowhere, everything before that was good.

Your description makes me think of Outer Wilds. Any comparison there?

[-] Mickey@lemmy.ca 2 points 1 year ago

I haven’t played Outer Wilds but from what I know of it it should be similar. The Forgotten City is based on real world history though which was pretty interesting and it’s much more compact than what I’ve heard of Outer Wilds. It look me maybe ~7h to finish it fully, but can definitely be done faster too.

Nice, honestly 7 hours is perfect. I loved the time loop mystery concept in Outer Wilds so I'll check this one out too. Thanks!
