    Currently going through Warhammer 40K: Inquisitor - Martyr. The game itself is pretty basic, there is honestly not that much variation for skills or builds, the maps are pretty repeatable outside of main storyline and performance is terrible. Still, it scratches that itch that I’ve had for the past few weeks for a hack and slash game. And smashing into a horde of Tyranids with a big hammer is pretty satisfying.

    I’m on Island III of Cuphead. Just beat the Bee Boss and it was certainly brutal. Even then once you get better at understanding what you’re supposed to do with each fight it really helps.

    Into The Breach

    It works perfectly with just touch controls. Eden emulator runs the Switch version perfectly on my phone. I hadn’t really played the game properly before (would just die quickly and not know how to proceed). Now I’m starting to get the hang of it and can play it for brief gaps in my day now that it is on my phone.

    Just finished Ico. Heard it was really influential. Overall I really liked it, though it did make me appreciate the improvements in game design that have happened in the last 20 years

      Played it before. Most non-horror horror game I’ve played yet. Pretty good though.

      Also the extra scene at the ending from the remaster is very sweet, pun intended.

    Mainly Balatro… I got the (remaster) of the original Fable on Steam, because they’re working on a new one. It’s interesting but failed to save correctly so i haven’t gotten back into it for a few days.

    I‘ve finished Neon White and I honestly think the hell rushes (especially with level shuffle) is where the game shines the most. I could‘ve saved myself some time skipping all of the story and wouldn‘t have missed out on anything IMO lol

    Stardew Valley. I needed something kid friendly and I’ve ran out of rally games so I decided it’s time to check out what has been added since I last played it when it released. I know it’s had some big updates but I’ve never paid attention to what the updates have been about, so there’s a bit of wonder going into the game. There are already moments where I’ve gone “I don’t remember this being in the game”.

      I’ve never been good at Tetris. My wife, on the other hand, used to do competitions. We’ve played Tetris duel or whatever it’s called (the two player competitive one) and she completely destroyed me every time.

        I’m not good at it either, but I like playing it anyway. Sometimes I watch the pros play on the ClassicTetris YouTube channel. It’s nice to watch, I’ll never reach that level but I’m okay with that.

          There’s a Tetris clone you can play in the Linux terminal, I’ve messed around with before. Pretty fun. I can’t remember what it’s called now but I’d recommend looking it up if you like Tetris. It’s pretty cool.

    Elden Ring. About 40 hours into it, running a dex / faith lightning build with dual bandit curved swords. Lately I think I’ve been researching builds more than actually playing though.

      Elden Ring is probably my favourite game ever. It’s got some tight competition but whenever someone asks me what my absolute favourite game ever is, I default to Elden Ring.

      I picked this back up recently to play through the DLC with my Golden Order caster.

      I must report that triple rings of light absolutely shreds (spoiler)

    Having laugh out loud fun with “Promise Mascot Agency.” It’s basically all the wacky dialogue of the best Yakuza side missions with business management sim. Like Dondoko Island if you play those games. If you are into management sims, then play on Hard to start. I’m on normal and the gameplay offers almost zero challenge. But the exploration, characters and writing is excellent.

    Continuing with SOMA. Just had a big revelation but now the base’s network is down, so I need to go reset the router.

    I’ve also started Pipistrello and the Cursed Yoyo for when I’m in the mood for something more light-hearted. I tried the demo for it during Steam Next Fest and instantly loved it. It’s very obviously inspired by GBA pixel graphics. All the character sprites are insanely expressive. It even has the Pokemon Ruby-Sapphire-Emerald-style trumpets in the music!

    And for extra verisimilitude, there are a bunch of graphics options to make it feel like a GBA game. LCD filter, a “strict” pixel mode, a rotatable 3D model to view the game in, and even screen glare if you really want it!
