Blade Runner is now on GOG: https://www.gog.com/game/blade_runner

It only recently was gotten ready to run on modern machines.

GOG has rescued another classic game, one that's probably been at the top of a lot of people's lists, releasing it digitally for the first time. Blade Runner, Westwood Studios' classic adventure game, has finally returned. And you can grab it now.

Blade Runner has taken so long to appear because the source code was lost when Westwood Studios moved. It's actually thanks to the ScummVM community that we have this version, as they spent eight years reverse engineering the game's engine. And now GOG has made a deal with Alcon Interactive, the license owner, to release it digitally, DRM-free.

Though it's based on the movie, it follows a different detective, Ray McCoy, as he hunts down his own renegade replicants. It runs parallel to the movie and spins a pretty similar yarn, but it's a chance to properly explore LA and dig into things only briefly touched on in the movie.

Like its inspiration, it's also a looker. Sure, the lavish pre-rendered backgrounds don't look quite as stunning as they did in 1997, but it hasn't lost any of its style. There's no dearth of cyberpunk settings these days, but Blade Runner's LA is still a singular city.

At times it's a bit like an interactive Blade Runner museum, letting you play with all the toys Deckard used in the movie. You can administer a Voight-Kampff test, for instance, and use your Esper machine to analyse 3D photos of crime scenes. It's the police work that's the best part, even if it's sometimes just clicking on a low res photo a lot.

You can get it for £6.89 during the GOG Winter Sale.

I'll be getting it. I learned about Blade Runner from that game before watching the movie. Loved both.

I got Soulcalibur 6 on the Steam sale. When I created my character it turned out to be a hot BDSM chick.

So... are there any good porn games out there, or is Skyrim with porn mods the way to go?

I actually never got around to buying this.

I stayed up way too late playing Slay the Spire last night.  I'm sick so it was a terrible idea.

I got Divinity: Original Sin via the Steam sale.  It's great... no idea why I never played it before.

Finished Disco Elysium at last.

Such an excellent game, and I can think of very few games that gave me the feeling of being able to properly roleplay my character. While you do play a prescribed character, you have a lot of options with how you deal with the world. Actually, this is one of the few RPGs where I would purposely NOT select all dialogue options, because they were not fitting to the character I was playing as; whereas in other games I would go through all options as a matter of course. I want to replay with a completely different character to see how it changes the game (plus, there were a few loose ends I didn't tie up, though the ending left me quite satisfied).

The writing is excellent, and even when I felt stuck I felt I had plenty to do in the microcosm of Martinaise. It's few games that fil me with vague existential dread one moment and then have my burst out laughing five minutes later. Tonally, it's like a weird mix of Hunter S. Thompson, David Lynch, and Wes Anderson.

Just got Disco Elysium as well, pondering on which to play first, it or Outer Worlds (via Xbox Game Pass).

Is Hentai Nazi any good?

Is Hentai Nazi any good?

The title is enough to give you all of the information you need to know.

Is Hentai Nazi any good?

How does it compare to the Genius! NAZI-GIRL GoePPels-Chan series of anime visual novels?
