Never Alone Arctic Collection GA, lv2+

Open
jeitea

Just finished this, a little short but just lovely.
Please put this on your radar, it's a lovely, light puzzle platformer and sales support the Iñupiat people who's culture & tales made this game possible.

Ratio 0.8 or higher required, plus a little custom rule I'm testing out, please let me know if there's any technical issues

I find myself wanting for games with a feeling of wonder on PC (sorry it's a bit vague).
Between this and Child of Light I struggle to think of others. To a lesser extent Bastion, Alice Madness Returns & Bioshock Infinite evoke a similar feel but the consoles have Mario, Kirby, ICO, Flower, Journey & Odin Sphere.
The PC has such a huge library so I've just missed things, right ?

You have the ratio set at 0.08 on the SGTools vs the 0.8 you noted on the link.

got it but yet to give it a go, doesn't seem to have that feel from vids I've seen though but things might be different when I get around to it.

I'm not sure I understand what exactly are you looking for (even less so with those examples - all great games, but with very different atmosphere and feelings for me), but I think that should fit - Brothers - A Tale of Two Sons

yeah it's a bit of a vague je ne sais quoi sort of thing unfortunately.
Brothers is on my list, just waiting for it to get to a price that's nice (for me)

I get that situation a lot, when I want play a game or watch a movie of a certain atmosphere (mood? spirit? feeling? I'm not sure what is the right word), but can't quite determine which atmosphere is that.

From your library I can suggest Dust and Enslaved

been meaning to play Enslaved for a while, as well as 7th gen console games called Majin & the Forsaken Kingdom and Folklore
got all 3 but never got around to playing

We all react to things differently depending on how our lives are currently going as well as our general personalities (qualia, if you will) so it can be hard to explain it but sometimes someone else just... gets it and it's awesome whenever that happens cause that feeling of 'am I just weird ?' goes away.

Hmmm... feeling of wonder is difficult to pinpoint, but maybe, and very subjectively:
Planescape: Torment (whimsical wonder of the setting alone)
The Banner Saga (atmosphere),
Kingdom (atmosphere),
The Night of the Rabbit (up to a point + audiobooks),
Anachronox (quirkyness alone puts it there),
Freedom Planet (joy of playing),
Dragon's Wake (subtle growth),
Dust: An Elysian Tail (overall presentation),
Trine 1 and 2 (gorgeous and very rewarding)
Lemma (the movement mechanics)

In a way, but not sure if that's what you're after: A Story About My Uncle (has a few moments, doesn't quite work for me), Transistor (Amazing game, but runs on soul, rather than wonder)

I also second Brothers that Lifedreamer mentioned. It certainly fits. :)

thanks for the big list. Some stuff mentioned doesn't have that sort of feel for me.

On the plus side, some new stuff for me to check out (=

You might want to check out Ori and the Blind Forest. This game gave me a feeling a lot like Child of Light.

A new definitive edition is coming for the game but I don't know if they will take down the old version. So there might not be a bigger sale for now. Just wanted to let you know.

nice, I'll keep an eye out but it sounds like I'll be waiting even longer for a decent discount.

Unrelated but IIRC both this game and Ori were both made with Unity

I don't know any technical detials about games but if you mean Never Alone, Ori's gameplay felt much more comfortable for me.

thx & feel free (=

unfortunately for me it didn't have the desired effect being sought after )=
What would be nice is something akin to a 'days since last nonbundle GA" or 'real sent region free nonbundled in past xxx days' filters

Actually that's a really good idea, I'll take a look and see if I can cook something of that sort.

Currently I don't think SG tools supports that kind of filter even with the advanced custom filters
Here's hoping it'll be part of a future update =D

I'm trying to think of games that have a similar "feeling of wonder" like Child Of Light (one of my favorite games of all time btw).

The Banner Saga definitely made me feel like that. It's not as magical or dreamy as CoL, but the art style alone gave me the feeling I think you're after.

hrm, it's kind of vague but I guess I'm sort of after a fairy tale-ish sort of feel ? that's not entirely accurate though

If not The Banner Saga, then maybe Ori and the Bling Forest? Haven't played it myself yet, but it looks so great.
