![]() ![]() I finally got to play it myself and found out. He had bought it first and was playing it, and I kept having to ask why he was laughing so hard. Shadow at the Water's Edge- Reply Deleteīoth my husband and I loved playing the Stanley Parable. Okay, I'll step off my soapbox now, lol! I've been playing these games for years, so I guess I'm just sort of passionate about them. If you want one of the newer titles, I like The Captive Curse, Shadow at the Water's Edge, Tomb of the Lost Queen, and The Phantom of Venice. If you want to try an older title, I recommend Treasure in the Royal Tower, The Secret of Shadow Ranch, Ghost Dogs of Moon Lake, and The Last Train to Blue Moon Canyon. ![]() They also have some free demo downloads on their website for a couple of the games. Some are super good, some aren't good at all, some are very scary, some are very tame. And the fan base for the series is really big.ĭo some research into which title to try first. I've re-played them too many times to count. The best part? They are EXTREMELY re-playable. They have nearly 30 titles, put two new games out every year, and they run very cheap on amazon. If you want an awesome pc mystery series to try, check out the Nancy Drew pc games by Her Interactive. I'm playing the sequel at the moment, and I'm not loving it as much since they added a (very clunky) battling system, but a third is in the works slated to come out later this year, and I'm hoping it'll be as good as the first. It is a point and click, so gameplay is very basic, it does drag in a few spots, and there's zero replay value, but I still recommend it whole-heartedly. ![]() Even secondary characters are well fleshed out with lives and personalities all their own. The world-building, voice acting, and storyline are AMAZING. Don't let the 1999-era graphics put you off either. It's only about $10 on Steam for a solid 20 hours of gameplay (disregard where it says 40. I kind of really dislike battling in video games (not because I dislike violence, but because I'm really bad at it, and real time battle systems give me anxiety and I can't enjoy myself) even though I love RPGs, so I've been getting more into adventure games lately, and one that I have to recommend is The Longest Journey. Guess I'll have to wait for the Steam sale and snag it I've totally seen the Stanley Parable on Steam and thought about buying it a couple times, but between how short it is and the price, I never did. And you PC gamers, well, odds are you already know about this one, right? So you can just tell me what I should play next in the comments. K, that's it for me! Hope I've convinced some of you non-gamer types to jump in with this one, or my fellow console-only types to branch out a bit. There are also a couple of mildly ridiculous achievements you can unlock, for added kicks. And after you think you've found all the different endings, go online and look up the ones you missed. That is all.Īs for game-play "strategy," I advise being as contrary as possible for the first few passes, because it's funnier that way. Don't go looking it up, because spoilers will kill the fun, but just so you won't miss it: when presented with a blue door, go through it three times. I was yelling "No way!!" at the screen and laughing with sheer delight. ![]() Oh, and I won't spoil anything, but there is one particular storyline with the most amazing and completely unexpected cameos. Or just bite the bullet and pay the $15, because it really is a fantastic game. That said, John tells me he's seen it on sale a few times for half-off, so maybe keep an eye out for another Steam sale. Ok, so what's the game about? Well, here's the trailer: You need no skill whatsoever to play, and it's almost impossible to "lose."ĭo I have your attention, everyone who thinks they're bad at video games? :DĪlso unlike most games, everyone watching The Stanley Parable will have just as much fun as the person playing, so I highly recommend playing in pairs at the very least, taking turns with the controller. Now, The Stanley Parable is not a game in the traditional sense. I've wanted to break into some of the quirkier PC games for a while, so when John said he found one we should play together, I was psyched. (I would roll my eyes here, buy DANG that game looks good with all the enhancement mods! The flowers! The waterfalls! The steampunky floating houses!) Since then the only thing I've played on it is the ultra-beautiful BioShock:Infinite, while John has become hardcore-addicted to modding his Skyrim houses. I've always been a strictly console girl, but over Christmas John convinced me we needed a PC gaming rig for the enhanced graphics. Don't let the PC part scare you off, though, console peeps you can always play with a regular controller instead of the keyboard, like we did. ![]()
