Bigots who themselves belong to vulnerable griups when bigotry comes around to bite them in the ass.

No. Sekiro is wildly different from beatemups. The only shared element is that there are enemies that you attack, basically, and if that’s enough to call Sekiro a ‘beatemup’, then, for example, every shooter is a beatemup, as well.

From what I gather, the game is just yet another soulslike with nice graphics and a slightly incoherent and simplistic mechanics design.

Even disregarding the problematic positions of the makers of the game, there is still the fact that, as far as I can tell, the game is only really interesting for a very short while.

Your best strategy is to become pampered bio-trophies for your caregivers.

Masterwork seems to have been abandoned ages ago.

Except the cop one with the porno title. That looks like shit.

Which one is that?

Let’s see if I was correct.

EDIT: Seems like I solved this one correctly.

4 Came out in 2018, and it is also on PC.

4 involves you trying to nuke not-st. Petersburg.

Hi-Rez is notorious for abandoning their games, so I wouldn’t be sure about that.

Ah, so they are killing Smite now?

At first, I misread you as asking for ‘cop games’. I thought that was incredibly specific.

I would like to second this.
In general, when we look at the art made in the past, we often have the benefit of bad art being filtered for us.

I have actually played a one-shot of Spire years ago. Five sessions or so, I think, so I wouldn’t necessarily say that the Heart is shorter.

From what I gather, Heart is focused on dungeon crawling, while the Spire is less combat-focused in general, and its main focus is working towards an anti-colonial revolution.

What I do like about Spire is, first and foremost, that it isn’t focused on dungeon crawling, and allows for making characters that have nothing to do with combat in general. I also like the themes of the classes, the setting, some motifs (the Firebrand class has an ability called ‘the Means of destruction’, which I remembered on a recent reread).

However, the Spire does have things that I consider to be issues for myself. Or, rather, it has one significant issue that does bring the system down in my eyes: the way characters take stress feels kind of unavoidable, and there don’t seem to be any sort of interesting ways to go around that. I can’t make a clever plan, for example, to outplay a rival organisation in a way that avoids damage, for example, as I will just be hurt in some manner on anything short of a standard success - the dice will always be the sole arbiter of this, and not thoughtfulness.

And yeah, I used to be fairly deep when it came to TTRPGs.

Also, since my recent obsession with the system started, I did cook up a concept for a Masked spymaster character.

Well, that’s kind of your answer why the old games feel slower to you.

It seems that the standard is setting these games to high speed. I don’t think there is an argument to be made that newer RTS games are faster than that.
