Nowhere else have I seen a game dev so devoted (the man answers every single forum post, puts community members in the game as NPCs, still streams the game after a decade of development), a design philosophy so deliberate (nothing taken for granted; read the dev's eight paragraph design treatise on Steam achievements for one of the funnier examples), a turn-based game so time-pressure-anxiety-inducing (oh god, not another ARC...), a game modeled so closely after the time-honored technique of mock execution (the horror of your perfect build getting destroyed over and over again, then vanquished by the exaltation of unlikely survival, and then the dread of it fated to happen all over again...), a game simultaneously so hair-pullingly RNG-based and so shockingly consistent (reportedly, good players can streak victories with much more consistency than in similar rogue-likes, i.e. DCSS... not that I would know...), etc. etc. etc.. Cogmind and its developer Kyzrati are just total anomalies. It's almost like some kind of weird, scary outsider art. For this alone, Cogmind is worth your consideration. Maybe in 40 more hours I'll be attuned to the mechanics enough to come up with some genuinely informed critique. What I can say now is: the game isn't only astonishing for all those meta-reasons above. It's also just a lot of fun. But fr if I lose one more goddamn <1% coverage Imp. Signal Interpreter I'm quitting forever Also the game is perfectly playable on Mac using base Whisky settings. If anyone wants help setting this up, hmu-- I know very little except what worked for me, haha.

Bought this game due to DoshDoshington's video In my first run I became robot Jesus and acquired many loyal robot followers. That then proceeded to be chewed to bits by the patrols on the next floor, followed by me getting chewed to bits after all my meatshields were dead. 10/10 would cog again

> wishlist Cogmind > occasionally check in to see progress > slowly lean into genre with TOME4, Approaching Infinity > finally buy game > absolutely no idea what the fuck is going on > first run, just mindlessly roam around exploring settings, key binds, functionalities, etc > step into a hallway and immediately greeted by a swarmer type bot class, instantly peppered with small arms and lasers > take cover at the turn of the hallway and let loose my two mini grenade launchers > reinforcements are called > completely incapacitated, legs are shot out, melee bots are rushing in to eliminate me > fire at them, receive warning that firing in my position will lead to a possible cave in > says fuck it and fires them twice. First two shots don’t cause a cave in and eliminates the swarmers, proceed to target melees with my second salvo > floor caves in crushing all my welded items and doing significant damage to my core > construction bots begin to arrive as more and more swarmers begin to appear, they reconstruct the walls and box me in, essentially giving me a free room to bunker down in > realizes I’m trapped > tries to ram into wall to destroy it and get myself out > destroys wall > room caves in again killing me
