Posting through my local account here because apparently my main instance is having some troubles fetching yet-unfederated communities from here.

Anyways, I've finished earlier today a game I'd been pushing in my to play queue for a few months now, Overseer by thestoff.

I made a post in another community reviewing the game, but the short version is that it's very hard, but in a way that doesn't feel cheap. Dying is normal in the game, but design feels like it's made to give players a tangible sense of improvement the better they get at each challenge the game throws, boss #2 being the cutoff between what would be the tutorial segment and the difficulty that permeates the entire rest of the game.

Sound and art are pretty good, and metroidvania being a metroidvania, it has horror elements as a constant element but not the main one.

Also if someone plays the game, a tip, though there is no walkthrough for the game, the save is not encrypted so you can get some hints from there if you don't know what to do.

Keeping it short, it was pretty good. Precision-platformer hard but good. It's also a metroidvania, and I made a review of it here (though mind spoilers): https://thebrainbin.org/m/defeat_the_backlog/t/1415043/Just-finished-Overseer-A-game-for-when-you-want-a Also hadn't made a post for them, but I've been on a streak since November, finishing at least one game each month:

Metal Slug 5 and Portal 2 both finished on November 25 Half-Life finished on December 5 Nicktoons Unite! finished on January 3 after much struggle Castlevania 1 finished on January 7, and it felt less painful to complete than the game above Battle for Volcano Island and Super Skeleman around January 8~10
