Some games will be more obscure than others. I promise every game I post had a US release.

Can you guess the game ?

      So true. I have never played the game (though it has been in my Steam Library for a long long time) and instantly recognised the game from the picture.

        I couldn’t get into it. I’m old and having to do combos and run across maps was boring and tedious

    Brutal Legend. MC voiced by Jack Black.

    Had a weird RTS component that I didn’t appreciate. Otherwise a really good game.

        This is true, but the game’s advertisements really pushed the hack and slash component over the RTS one.

        I pre-ordered this game because I adored Double-Fine, and a heavy metal-themed Zelda-like starring Jack Black from the creators of Psychonauts sounded amazing. That was not what I was delivered.

          Yeah the demo before release only showed the open world side, so it was quite a shock. Still decent if disjointed. Personally I could have done without the RTS part, or have it as a simpler mini game.

        That’s fair. I only really made it until the RTS component started showing up and kind of drifted to another game.

    Oh I know that one.

    You can see Jack Black as a character from behind.

    The game is called Brütal Legends.

    Heavy metal through and through.

    Brutal Legend, one of my favorites. Loves the rts elements in it, which most seem to hate lol. But I loved the game and its story. Features Ozzy Osborne too.

    The only reason I know Double Fine. To this day I don’t get why they’re generally known for Psychonauts over this.

    Not surprised how quickly this one got solved ! But wanted to mix things up with a more “modern” game

    I really like paychonauts (which my phone keeps trying to correct to psycho nuts). How’s this? I’ve always thought I should play it. I did not know until this thread that it has rts elements. I like rts games.

      It’s hilarious. I don’t even really like that genre of music and still found it hilarious. The gameplay catches people off guard because it’s a peculiar mix of RTS and third person action hack/slash.

      It’s fun and has its moments. I haven’t played it in probably 10-15 years though. But I’m the same as you, Psychonauts was my childhood game and the sequel is a masterpiece.
