What game should I pick up? There are a ton of games on sale and I'm already gearing up to get 'Tony Hawk 1 + 2' and 'Iris and the Giant' but what else should I grab? Any answer will do: Specific game, genre, price- some one I've been think about is Born of Bread FF Stranger of Paradise 1/2

#AdventSky day 5: Iris and the Giant This is game is pretty unique: a blend of deck-building, RPG, and roguelike. It tells a touching story of Iris, a young girl facing her fears in her imaginary world. Dive into her psyche, battle inner demons, and uncover a deeply personal narrative.

45. ...which means I can fit more video games in this slot, I guess? Right now I'm playing Iris and the Giant, which is a roguelike deckbuilder with very fast deck turnover. Each stage plays like a semi-random puzzle, which feels incredibly satisfying. Haven't gotten my first win yet.

February 18, 2024 - Day 414 - NewPlay Review Total NewPlays: 450 Game: Iris and The Giant Platform: Steam Released: Feb 28, 2020 Installed: Feb 2, 2024 Unplayed: 16d Playtime: 27m Iris and The Giant is 2.5D RPG/roguelike/deckbuilder. It's kind of hard to pigeonhole. You play as Iris, and the game is an exploration of her mental health and struggles with anxiety. Cut-scenes that start to flesh out the backstory can be triggered during battles. As deckbuilders go, it's quite unique, and the game…

* Iris and the Giant: Interesting, but more at tactical roguelike than a deckbuilder. * Melodramatica: Wish there was more. * The Spirit Lift: Want full game now. * Night of the Full Moon: Fantastic, with tons of modes (all cheap DLC). Now fix your translations!

7. IRIS AND THE GIANT (PC, 2020) A delightful deckbuilder featuring another Iris(!) who fights monsters—both inside and outside her head. The art is wonderful and the game also has some great challenge levels. Touches on loneliness, bullying, and depression in a gentle way.

No, we are talking about "easy mode", not "I'm too young to die"..A metric on that - of the 1,687 games listed in the game UI database, only two have difficulty selection named "easy mode". Those two are Iris And The Giant, and Super Mario Run.

I met @louisrigaud.bsky.social at an event where we were presenting our games. After that, I played Iris and the Giant, and what a great game it is! A rogue-lite deck-building game that's out of the ordinary, both in terms of card management and enemies. The game is very beautiful. I really liked it

"Iris and the Giant by @louisrigaud.bsky.social is a small game that does a lot with its simplicity. The story, character development, and gameplay all feel satisfying and earned. With a handful of mechanics, it makes combat into a compelling puzzle. Plus, it's just gorgeous." - Houston Wynn, CEO

#IrisAndTheGiant (https://goblinzstudio.com/game/irisandthegiant/) I can't believe how well received this fucking buggy game is. Sure, the game is a bit fun, but ...... It's fucking buggy.
