The enemies are placed on a grid and your characters have abilities that can move them around or place traps on certain squares, plus as part of the game’s time travel theme you can reorganize the upcoming turn order. Use those together and you can arrange the absolute sickest combos, knocking everyone into a big cluster and then wailing the shit out of that cluster.
Just be sure to play the original DS version and not the enhanced 3DS version with new art, voice acting, and story additions that ruin the tone.
SkillUp’s “This week in video games” videos are great both for news about the industry, and what’s coming up and worth keeping an eye out for. Listening to podcasts is another good one. I listen to MinnMax every week in particular.
Honestly even though I don’t do torrents. I found 1337x website to be helpful because it doesn’t really seem to be biased and no company will invest into making there product on top there.
I’ve been listening to the NoClip Crew cast podcast - they mostly talk about games they’ve been playing recently and after a few sessions you can really grok the types of games everyone on the pod enjoys. That mostly matches up with my play style, so it works nicely.
As an added bonus, they tend to highlight more independent/smaller game studios.
Still trying out new games from the ‘Pixels with Porpoise’ pack I bought on Humble Bundle a week ago. (So far my faves are Children of Morta and Towerfall Ascension.) I highly recommend it if you like pixel-art based games and fantasy.
Still Rocket League. Can’t shake it for some quick challenges in ~10 minute increments. I really wish I could either switch over to some SCUMMVM retro stuff, or a semi-casual fantasy adventure, but in ~10 minute doses.
I’ve considered Witcher 3, but it looks too time-intensive for a busy dad. I’m hoping for something that might need a few hours to get started, but then you can pick up & make actual progress in under 15 minutes.
I would actually say Witcher 3 is good for that. There’s like 100 smaller quests you can do in 5-10 minutes each. Some of the main storyline quests (which are marked as such) might take 20 or 30 minutes when you’re ready for them. It also has imo one of the best quest tracking systems I’ve seen, as well as best inventory system (sorting, yay) so you don’t have to remember everything after time away from playing.
Dark Souls games can also be played that way - from one bonfire (checkpoint) to the next is usually around 5 to 10 minutes depending on how you play.
Roboquest! An absolutely delightful high-speed rouge-lite first person. It feels very Borderlands-y, in both aesthetic and gunplay. The weapons include deagles, revolvers, assault rifles, machine guns, crossbows, grenades, (dual) chainsaws, power fists, Iron Man palms, shuriken, flamethrowers, and more! It’s packed to the gills with secrets, challenges, and skill expression. Tons of fun, like, 25$ on Steam, two player co-op with matchmaking, go buy it.
