I finished Chants of Sennaar a couple nights ago, it was a lot of fun. Language-based puzzle game inspired by the Tower of Babel. It’s very pretty to look at, and a lot of the puzzles were really clever. My only real complaint is that I was really expecting the final level to be much more difficult, requiring me to do a lot of synthesizing of ideas from previous levels, but instead the final puzzles were pretty easy and linear. I’d still recommend it though, the first 80% of the game is great, and if you get that far, you’ll probably have the momentum to finish, the end doesn’t take that long.
After finishing Dave the Diver I’ve been playing sifu and outer wilds. Interesting mix of games. Sifu is pretty tough so far. Outer wilds I think I just need to invest more time before I’m really hooked
Great review! I was going to suggest you start a blog and I’m happy to see one linked! Are you on Mastodon?
Those bloody battlefields are brutal. I don’t play many strategy games but I can’t remember any that leave the ground littered with corpses like that. Its chilling.
Technically. I tried it before lemmy but I couldn’t quite make sense of it. I was never into twitter in the first place, so it all kind of baffled me. I could always reactivate my account.
The bloodiness of the battles of the American Civil War is often remarked upon, including by contemporary commentators. So it’s nice that they emphasized that in the game.
I’m replaying Omori since I was on laptop/switch friendly games for the past two weeks visiting family, but I didn’t water the flowers my first playthrough so I’m here for the good good ending.
Football, Tactics & Glory. It‘s alright, I already got it so might as well play it, but it‘s only a football manager in a very loose sense. It‘s actually only football in a very loose sense.
I’ve been really into Pokemon Unbound (Fire Red ROM hack) recently, once I beat it I think I’m going to play around with the settings and play it again. It’s amazing having a Pokemon game that isn’t baby easy, and I love that I don’t have to impose rules on myself to make it harder. It’s really opened my eyes to ROM hacks, I think I’ll be playing more next year
Also a fan of Unbound! My last run I tried whatever setting it is that makes it so that all fully evolved pokemon have the same stat totals, which really made the game feel different and like I actually had options for building a team. Although I still found myself thinking “oh I can’t put butterfree on my team, it’s too weak”
My favorite hack is Gaia, it doesn’t have as many features as Unbound but it’s got the right vibes for a pokemon game while still having increased difficulty and QOL stuff.
