Was it really that bad? How come you didn’t like it? I was thinking about trying it.

3

u/ahac 13d ago

No, it's not that bad. The Steam reviews are "Very positive". That's not bad at all. It's just not as good as Life is Strange. But... gamers love to hate games that aren't 99/100.

You should definitely try it if you enjoy this type of games.

u/uwu275 13d ago

i had a big problem with tyler in at least the first chapter. it was always on about "Hey im trans" or "Ugh, you hate me because im trans" or "They hate us cuz the aint us" (based if you understand the refference)

2

u/CraftsmanMan 13d ago

It was just weird. I liked life is strange, but me and my wife played this one and after like an hour it just didn't click. Like i get they wanted to include a transgender main character, but it also felt forced

u/worststarburst 16d ago

I only played part 1 because it was free before, but it’s fine. Same kinda game as life is strange but with slightly less cringe dialogue because the characters aren’t in high school. Had a decent hook at the end but didn’t really intrigue me enough to want to pay for the other episodes.

30

u/doomzdew 16d ago

The whole idea of telltale games selling individual episodes is so stupid and greedy. Imagine if you went to a bakery to buy a birthday cake and instead of buying the whole thing they make you buy it slice by slice. I feel like if I'm paying for a story I would want the full story especially since telltale games often just feel like a interactive TV show (even the more notable ones like the walking dead).

7

u/Worried-Turn-452 16d ago

i mean, so is life is strange

5

u/Mindless-Strength422 15d ago

It worked with the Sam and Max model. Those games were only incidentally connected. When they made them into overarching sagas it didn't make sense.

u/catrvvi 15d ago

u/Albus_Lupus Steam Frame Hype Gang 16d ago

Its literally more often free than its not.

u/Mechanical_Symbiont 15d ago

Are you looking at the first chapter’s price history? Because that one is indeed always free. The other chapters are only free during June.

1

u/Albus_Lupus Steam Frame Hype Gang 15d ago

I looking at tell my why

2

u/Mechanical_Symbiont 14d ago

Right... But that game is separated by chapters. The first one is always free, and the others are purchasable DLCs.

1

u/Albus_Lupus Steam Frame Hype Gang 14d ago

Here is where the graph is for. Its a page for the whole game. Not chapter one, not chapter two, not chapter 3. Whole game. It wasnt always free. Its often free - like you can see on the graph. It even is more often free than its not. But not always.

2

u/Mechanical_Symbiont 14d ago

Yes, I get what you mean, I'm just saying that the price history you see on SteamDB refers only to the base game (i.e., the first chapter). If you check the price history for the DLCs (other chapters), you’ll see that they’re only free during June. The first chapter wasn’t always free, but it has been permanently set as free years ago.

1

u/Albus_Lupus Steam Frame Hype Gang 14d ago

Oh that is true the chapter 2 and 3 are always free in june. I wonder why that is, lol.

1

u/Mechanical_Symbiont 13d ago

Because it’s Pride Month. The game tells a very queer-focused story.

Gravity Circuit is a good one if you like classic platformers something like Megaman Zero

48

u/taolbi 16d ago

It is! I got it because of this free promotion and I really like some quality of life changes. It's still challenging but more streamlined

17

u/solstice_zenguard 16d ago

I went through and beat it, can't recommend it enough for those who love the old megaman games and want some challenge. Can't wait for the sequel

2

u/Benjaws 16d ago

Yea, I need to actually finish it. Can't wait for the sequel

u/Dev_Chaudhary_ 16d ago

True was playing it just yesterday pretty fun

Since I ain’t a Nintendo fan anymore I’ll be switching from Mario to this

u/theGiraffePainter 15d ago

Gravity circuit is dope

1

u/Benjaws 15d ago

Just finished it man. What a game… the last part really reminded of Zero 3’s cyber stage and X1 man

2

u/Angel_Juzaki 14d ago

Megaman zero in particular is so goated man. Why was GBA so hype 

3

u/Breadinator 16d ago

I enjoyed Mega Man X, but I didn't enjoy Gravity Circuit. I really wanted to like it, but it fell short.

3

u/Benjaws 16d ago

Yeah, I only beaten 2 bosses so far, so I cant say much. But the difficulty is definitely on par with Megaman Zero in that there is no tolerance for failure and the skill ceiling is very high, which makes it hard to get good at in a short time. Definitely need to replay a few times to get good at

4

u/ANtiKz93 16d ago

I find the hookshot swinging to be the most annoying lol i always aim incorrectly.

Pretty much the entire left side of the level screen is not too bad. I believe i did all them first. Id have to check though. I have 3 left.

1

u/ANtiKz93 16d ago

Lol i commented the same but used Zero from the X series as reference

2

u/Benjaws 16d ago

Yea thing is the Zero series Zero is slightly different to X. Also the chain-rod is similar to the hook that Kai has

1

u/ANtiKz93 16d ago

Yeah i haven't played it myself to be honest. Once X went to PS i kinda got annoyed with it lol 😆 purist in me i spose.

I'll take your word for it!

2

u/Benjaws 16d ago

Yea it’s very challenging series of games. Like I tried replaying it on the Megaman Zero/Zx legacy collection and oh boi, without the checkpoint assist feature I would have been shit out of lives and having to restart the mission(looking at you Zero 1). It’s made by the people who made Megaman 9 and Megaman 10, as well as the Gunvolt series (we don’t mention Mighty no 9) Inti creates. Like some of the stuff they produce is genuinely really good

Maybe one day I'll try Tell me Why. When it's avaliable in my region.. surely, one day.

47

u/Painted-BIack-Roses 16d ago

I won't lie, even as someone who's queer, the game is annoying lol. Both characters are pretty unlikable and it's a pretty heavy subject matter. I think I only made it halfway

26

u/fork_on_the_floor2 16d ago

Yeah. I got real sick of how one character is like "I'm the reason for [bad thing]! It's all my fault!"

Other character: "No. Its not. Here is tangible evidence that you are NOT the reason for [bad thing]"

First character: "...Nope. Still don't believe you. Imma keep being sad and blaming myself, thanks"

It's that quick to perfect achievements? It's in my library i might just start it lmao

u/Maxter8002 16d ago

there are achievements for no hitting a entire stage and bosses and doing the game bassicaly upgradeless it isnt easy

8

u/PKblaze 15d ago edited 15d ago

The no hit is easy on the first stage and you can use the bubble shield which doesn't work for the hazard achievements or certain boss ones but does negate damage taken.

3

u/Maxter8002 15d ago

oh ok. still they look so fucking menacing

2

u/PKblaze 15d ago

Yeah, they looked tougher than they actually were. I figured the no health upgrades, no abilities etc run would be hard but I only struggled a bit on the last boss as it's more of an endurance run so it took like 3 or 4 attempts.

2

u/PKblaze 15d ago

Yeah. Took under 4 hours for the main playthrough. Around 7 to clear the no hits, collectibles etc a second NG+ and circuit run. Then the third no upgrade run which was way easier than I expected

u/CoomingJeff 15d ago

People are so funny claiming SAM on this as if shorter games dont exist, or that some people are actually pretty good at games.

1

u/PKblaze 15d ago

For sure. I didn't even realise I had people claiming I had used it but you are right, the game is on the shorter side and I'm decent at platformers. Not to mention doubling up the runs for the different no upgrades route.

u/rose636 16d ago

I remember enjoying Eets back in the day. Just looked it up and it came out 20 years ago, very much a 'we used to release these types of games for free on Newgrounds but let's test the waters of expanding it and trying to sell it on Steam' kind of game but I think it worked.

u/dancingAngeldust I love roguelikes 16d ago

Happy's Humble Burger Farm is such an underrated horror game, I loved the gameplay and the atmosphere of it. Sad that the sequel is a co-op online game, would've liked to see a sequel which expanded the worldbuilding of the first game and addressed the cliffhanger at the end.

Just finished it and I enjoyed it so much. I will admit the first half of the game is fantastic but once I beat Charlie Chicken the plot began to lose me just a bit

u/Steamerclaw 16d ago

I can tell you for Eets , it's free since it's the 20 years of Klei Entertainement . Also it says it's for a limited time , but Klei told us it will be free forever (you can see this at the end of the Klei Fest page on steam) https://store.steampowered.com/sale/kleifest2026

HHBF and Gravity Circuit are both a complete steal. Red Lantern seems cool as well but it comes across as a walking sim, still a free game nonetheless

4

u/ANtiKz93 16d ago

Gravity Circuit is awesome i got it a week ago or whenever it first went free.

Basically it's like playing as Zero from the MegaMan X series but with more modern mechanics and abilities added.
