New Low Poly Games?
kamikazekeeg:
Haven't played anything new since Pseudoregalia and I still have to beat Frogun, but there have been a couple I've caught on occasion coming up for release that could be cool. One of them I just saw looks great, as it's a throwback to that Goldeneye/Perfect Dark era of FPS games. Hopefully this is good with Agent 64: Spies Never Die...

Cavern of Dreams if you liked the N64 era platformers/collectathons.

I picked that one up, haven't played it yet, and another I grabbed is Corn Kidz 64, which I also haven't played yet. I'm gonna likely get through Spider-Man 2 this week and then spend the rest of the month playing a few of these games I've got stocked up.

Poked around both Cavern of Dreams and Corn Kidz 64, just to give them a look and they seem okay. They nail the aesthetics, but sorta feel like they adhere a little too close in gameplay to their PS1/N64 roots, and not entirely in a great way. Corn Kidz camera is a little wonky, being a little close to the character and then having moments where it auto-adjusts based on like a big jump you do, but it's clunky. Gameplay is good, it's functionally very similar to Banjo-Kazooie to me along with that sorta goofy tone too. Cavern of Dreams sorta suffers with a little camera wonkyness, gameplay is okay, I played a tad less of this, but could be okay.
I definitely feel like if someone is making a low poly throwback, that they should really try and take advantage of a modern camera system. I've actually been going back to replay Banjo-Kazooie very casually on Switch, and they move the C Button cameras to the analog and it kinda creates its own issues, and really, the camera controls aren't not a nostalgic fondness I have, they were a choice due to the limitations of the time, and they can be worked with, but boy do I wish either of these played more like Pseudoregalia with how amazing that feels to play and control lol

I don't know if you like racing games, but there are Hotshot Racing, Formula Retro Racing and Horizon Chase Turbo.
BattleBit Remastered for FPS but it's multiplayer.
