Oh this released? I was a huge fan of the original back in the day and would have checked it out. I maybe saw one preview of it some time ago, but nothing since. If I knew it released I would have checked it out, but there was like 0 marketing for it?
Apparently it was $60 for a $30 game, so yeah that's not going to work. And according to the reviews it was kinda buggy as well, which seems to be the norm in 2024.
Recently picked up Dead Island 2 for $30, because 1 was fun and I just wanted to fuck up some zombies with a friend for an afternoon. That released for $60 as well, but was pretty mid and only barely worth $30.
Edit: I see that it has Directors Commentary, I love that shit, more games should do that. Always interesting to hear from the devs how something came together.
I feel like many of these got at least a spiritual successor if not an actual successor. That counts as a second chance right and means they aren't forgotten?
Like Gauntlet has like 9 sequels and the last one released just 10 years ago. There's also many games that are heavily inspired by Gauntlet. Same for The Settlers, which had a new game just last year.
