Don't you like the ResidentEvil series, or am I thinking of someone else?

I have played some of them briefly, but never finished one. Not really for me.


Most might think this is lackluster, but I actually have been craving a chess game lately with good graphics, this was good timing... haha


Was free on Epic a while back.

Grabbed it thanks! This has really unique graphics, in fact, I don't think I have ever seen graphics in a game like this before... its a bit trippy. Wow

fyi, this game is listed as "great to play on steam deck" game. giving it a try on my Deck, its one of those green checkmark games so its fully compatible. very cool.

i have to say, my steam deck is insanely useful. i hate sitting at my desk these days.

I think you're right. With all the name changing that has been going on, it's tough to keep on top of who's-who. :banghead:
However, I digress as we're straying from topic...
Yeah, my nick changing was probably hella confusing. Yet now I think I finally found the lasting one. :D

Alwa's Awakening free on GOG.com​



This is an excellent game! I have the NES version DLC and it is such a very cool retro 8bit title!

People, if you like old-school side scrolling adventures with a good storyline, grab this. If you love it or at least like it, show the dev some love and buy the NES DLC!

Please don't be April Fool's.

no I have a general fascination with any kind of game that lets me sail on wooden ships. I still play Sid Meier's Pirates from time to time to this day.

also, I like the unique graphics of this particular game. free is free, I def will be giving it a try, hope it works on my Steam Deck

I hear you on the idea and for me it was the best thing about Odyssey. I am trying to get my Wife to get me a Steam Deck for my Bday. My daughter pretty much has my laptop under her control so it might be doable. I even have a 512GB 2230 Drive that I bought from Earthdog years ago.
