Really fun app to use for watching flights. You see the plane based on live location in detail with sound effects flying around.

Here are the features I wish could be added:
- show an overview map of the flight and expected takeoff/landing times on HUD
- the 3D world has pop and detail issues. If I flip the view around 180 degrees and back it will have to reload the other side again. I know Google Earth has low memory use and disk cache limitations, and I don't know if that's what they're using in the background here, but it would be great if I could utilize my system, load more resources, and eliminate world detail pop in

Thanks for making this!

Wanderstop falls into the genre/lineage of other "therapy games" like Spiritfarer and Celeste, dealing with similar themes of emotional growth and personal change. The game rises to the occasion and gets to you consider deep emotional experiences in a comfortable way.

The gameplay loop grew on me and was enjoyable throughout the experience. The "cozy" tea shop activities were satisfying and the decoration/organization felt meaningful.

I have the impression that the game scales down well to more limited hardware, but I can speak to the game scaling UP. On my system - 5700X3D, 7900XTX - I sat around 110 FPS at 4K resolution, my GPU was going full blast, and the graphics were incredible.

Worked great in Linux/Proton.

I can tell that this game is a masterpiece, but I didn't finish it. I spent the first four/five hours on normal difficulty until I got stuck desperately trying to win a tedious combat scenario and switched to "story" difficulty, or whatever it's called at easier than easy, for another four/five hours. Then, despite being enamored by a very compelling story and a deeply detailed environment, I couldn't handle the tediousness of the gameplay and combat leading me to give up. I watched a 90 minute youtube video called "Prey - A Critique of the Mind Game" that spoiled the rest of the story and gave me an even greater appreciation for the game as a whole.

I don't know, it's likened to Deus Ex and Bioshock. Maybe if you like those games this will work for you, but I guess I don't play games to meticulously pick apart an environment over the course of many, many fetch quests. I appreciate and value the work that went into this game, it's clearly something special and will go down through the ages, but I couldn't finish it.

Insane value though for a cheap Humble Bundle that also included the Crysis Remastered trilogy among others! Crysis is more my jam, if that tells you anything about the kind of game this ISN'T.

Actually pretty great co op experience if you're into overlanding

I *tried* to like Crysis 2, but I genuinely liked Crysis 3. I'm glad they returned to having a speaking protagonist who has meaningful dialog with other characters. Short but sweet, this was a nice way to round off a totally classic Sci-Fi FPS.

RIP Crysis 4. Sounds like Crytek had to throw away a bunch of institutional knowledge and future plans in order to please shareholders this quarter.

When you had to do one more hacking minigame to beat the game I lost my ♥♥♥♥

Played on Linux in 4K 7900XTX 5700X3D 100+FPS had to run raytracing on medium tho.

Great 8-hour Sci-Fi shooter. Not replayable and classic in the same way as Crysis 1/Warhead, but definitely not as much of a bastardization as Far Cry 1 to 2. It's still a fun game with great mechanics and shoot-y ("kinetic") gunfights that feel good. Looks incredible maxed out 4k in 2025. Played on Linux.

I don't usually play point & clicks or puzzle games but really enjoyed the Twin Peaks in Northern Minnesota vibe of this one. Most of the puzzles were achievable, I definitely used the popular Steam guide to cheat on the hard ones. Overall great experience.

More Crysis action - sick.

Honestly don't find it looking too much worse than the remaster, but really lagged in the finale scene. Some of the older games don't benefit from modern multicore GPUs, IDK.

Played on Linux no prob

Crysis is sick. You have to play it if you never have before.

I like this game, but it's not what I expected.

First, the game is total eye candy. I don't know how well it scales down, but on ultra settings in 4k on my 5700X3D + 7900XTX system I get 70-100FPS and it looks *really* good. Like stunning. Impressive for a gamer but a fun jaw-dropping thing to show non-gamers.

Secondly, this is a chill/cozy controller game. I thought I'd be sitting close to my screen clicking away in RTS mechanics, but I find myself sitting back on the couch with a controller admiring the graphics and sending my ant legions around without ever really feeling threatened.

So far I'm 3+ hours in on the main campaign and it's like an RTS but you control a single ant from a third person perspective and order around the legions from there. There was already a random platformer lever...

Yes... your ant can jump and they have you leaping from leaf to leaf. If you didn't realize it wasn't an actual simulation you will when you power hop across the map like a frog. Maybe you realized it wasn't a simulation when the ants talked to each other.

Most of the negative reviews I see are from people who wish it was either Sim Ant or a more traditional RTS. It is a relaxed 3rd person strategy genre mashup with eye candy nature graphics. If you're into that then this game is very much worth it.
