On a scale of 1-10, how GLORIOUS! Is it?
Hopefully there isn't much to fix after the beta so it can release soon.
I hope this is a joke. 😬

It's not.
I never heard of it, but just googled it few minutes ago. Not a fan of these card games so i am not informed.

It's the stealth-themed follow-up to Card Crawl

I spent the entirety of a three-hour flight playing Crashlands--I know I'm a bit late to the party, but it's great! Combines what I liked about Don't Starve, streamlines it a bit, and removes permadeath. Not sure how long of a game it is but I've put at least ten hours into it so far and it doesn't look like it's ending anytime soon.
I just got the orders to move to higher ground and deploy the dish--can anybody tell me how much game I've got left in terms of main questlines?

But there is no NDA for the beta, right?
No but it's still beta and it would be disrespectful towards who worked so hard to craft this game.
It's a REALLY nice beta tough
Dunno but probably gloriously sooner than later.
It's the new game from Card Crawl devs, one of the best and most addictive card/roguelike games ever imho.
It's not a real sequel but some key elements are there.
Oh sorry I read Card Crawl. I also bought Card Crawl not until three weeks ago because it dropped to 99 cents for the first time. But now I after playing I would gladly pay the full price. I would really advise you to get it the next time it is on sale! I am not a card game fan either but this does not play like any card game I ever played.

That's unfortunate about the MM ports, was sorta looking forward to playing them. Though to be honest at $1.99 a pop and having all 6 ported at the same time should have been the early red flags for me
This is sad. I mean why bother to release them with all these issues? All it does is add a bad taste to a classic series. Do they not think even the App Store isn't going to be savage in their reviews of them? Well, I hope they do poorly just to show mobile isn't a dumping ground for any piece of shit.
Milkmaid of the Milky Way:

The Binding of Isaac should be delayed quite a bit as it seems like the launch of Afterbirth+ is quite a huge mess. I'm expecting it at the very end of this month or early February and Edmund said today that they'll have an update soon on that.

The Witness coming in January on Android (Shield exclusive):

Wonder how'll long it'll take for an iOS version to pop up.

Oh, I hope so. The Witness fps were never quite good enough to really enjoy it on my computer and I would like to play through it someday.
Oh the iOS version is planned and the game was already shown on an iPad, it's mostly a matter of when and they were quite silent on this port for a while now.
Interesting. Probably will also have to do with how long Shield has it as almost every one of their exclusive ports, like The Talos Principle, have never made their way to iOS.
There are a ton of them like the Half Life games, Portal, Doom 3, Metal Gear Rising, Hotline Miami 1/2, Borderlands 2, Titan Souls, Parallax, etc.

Agreed. I'm hooked on this game. It's a bit repetitive, but I like the loop and will continue to enjoy this game.

Nothing really amazing for me released yesterday but some have Card Thief...
Played this and it's just an okay shmup. Don't get too excited with it being a PC/console port (where it got mediocre reviews).

Card Thief is exiting and really got my curiosity in these type of games... and the dungeon crawling aspect is marvelous... now I wonder if I should get Solitairica...
Yes, you should get Solitairica!
Can you still get those on iOS? I know Konami had some kind of S&P game, and I thought the original two S&Ps were wiped from the app store not long after.

Depends on what kind of RPG you want. Quest is old school Elder Scrolls, Demon Rise is turn-based battles

Smite Rivals announced:

Looks like a decent competitor to Clash Royale

Saw Crashlands was on sale. It seems a bit tedious at times in terms of sheer numbers to craft things, and there seems like a lack of consequence (relative to the obvious comparison of Don't Starve), but overall I do rather like it so far.

Playing Machinarium now. Compared to Samorost 3, I'm not enjoying it a lot. For one the visuals are a lot worst but I know this is a 2009 game, maybe it's just the but also the puzzles are borderline frustrating and the sense of adventure isn't there.
I hope they manage to make something as good as clash royale, but leave out all the timer and pay to win stuff. Clash royale is fantastic but I just have no motivation to play it because of that.
Machinarium is quite different from Bitanicula and Samorost 3. It's much harder as well.

It's a little overwhelming at first, but most of the schematics you find in the wild are just for cosmetic stuff you can put in your house. Once you make sense of all the different craft stations (and when to ignore them once you get better upgrades) things fall into place.

Yes, it does, in New Games We Love. It just hasn't been updated for this week/post-lock yet
It has been sort of updated with Don't Starve Shipwrecked but yeah, it's updated weekly (every thursday) and Super Mario Run will stay there for quite a while for obvious reasons.

Yeah but I don't find it harder in fun way, like I found The Talos Principle hard parts fun or even the hard levels in Monument Valley Ida's dream
It's definitely for a different crowd, yup.
I can vouch for The Quest. It's greaaaaaat

Just noticed the mainstream "real games" media collectively picked up the Mega Man ports in the last couple of hours.

Much like Kickstarter, only the major failures or the special successes get the most coverage
And of course, that'll only help the stigma of mobile having shit controls and whatnot

It was all over the media from within two hours of the ports going up...
I have hardly seen any "lol mobile" anyways. It's mostly been "lol Capcom." As it should be.
