I played with a controller.

I also did not like Psychonauts. At all.

QFT

Psychonauts is another one I have but have not played. But then, that's most of my Heap o' Shame, these days.

To add on,

Barony and Star Chronicles have Linux builds and Prism is having those builds coming soon. Star Chronicles also has an android build.

Agreed. I pre-ordered, as I often do because Glutton For Punishment, and this one looks like it has real potential.

Wait, someone else who didn't like it? So that makes a total of two then?

This game is considered perfection and godly. Until this very post I thought I was a large group of one who didn't like it. Really should give this one a go. For reputation more than anything else. You know, eventually.

Me neither. The keyboard/mouse controls were just awful.

I always think a little healthy dissent makes a game's reputation credible, and I know this one is famously loved. Still, "eventually" is as soon as it's likely to happen. I'm sure I'll get there one day and wonder why I didn't play this sooner, because that's generally how I feel when I get around to this game or that. But then, I like feeling that way, and truly there's just as much joy in a good game years after the fact. As we mostly know, in here.

Not a singe game for Mac which is odd since Barony is for Mac in the current IndieGameStand deal...

Wow, that's a pretty stark contrast to their Anniversary Bundle #1 in terms of quality...

I doubt anyone would call Psychonauts perfect, most people are well aware of its flaws, but still love it for its quirkiness. I think those who like it don't praise it for its mechanics and controls but despite of it,* mostly because of the graphic style and its originality in characters, humor, story, dialogue. Contrast is a bit similar in that regard, as it has somewhat flawed and frustrating gameplay but an original and exciting setting and story to explore.

(* There are spots in Psychonauts that I absolutely loathed and that took me forever to beat. The fact that I still kept on trying is a testament to how awesome and engaging I found the rest of the game; I didn't want to concede these particular shitty sequences the power to make me miss out on all the funny stuff that was yet to come.)

<span class="bold">Be Afraid</span>, a new bundle from Groupees is up for reserve.
:)

$1.25 for the whole thing.

Dark Echo will be in it and the background points to Sea Legends: Phantasmal Light (HOG)
