I’ve been playing a bunch of Rogue Tower lately, going for some of the achievements. Finally got sticks and stones, but it was kinda disappointing because I got the polygon mobs instead of the missile ones and looking at the monster information, they are easier. I wanted to see if that setup would have taken on the missile mobs that kept killing me in wave 38 or 39.
Just finished Mario Wonder in like a week - a delight to play but too easy and way too short to 100% a game.
Currently playing Dave the Diver and understanding why it has such good reviews. A solid little game - just expect a game that literally everyone can agree is pretty good, maybe not a game you’ll think is great.
Also currently loving Monster Train. Horrible theme, bad art style, and the sound effects are off-putting, but the gameplay is top notch. Very very fun. I was playing a bit of Across the Obelisk trying to capture that Slay the Spire addictive deck-builder feel, and where I enjoyed the latter (particularly for multiplayer) I never was dying to play it, just enjoyed it while I was. Monster Train I’m definitely looking forward to playing tonight, or maybe today during a boring meeting.
And of course DoTA. Always DoTA. For me it’s still the best game ever made, and they keep getting better with new content, fixing community toxicity issues, trying to help the skill wall, etc. I took two years off with my daughter’s birth, but I’ve been playing again for a few months and it’s better than ever.
The last special stage (assuming there isn’t more stuff after the one I’m thinking of) on Mario wonder isn’t easy. Fuck that level. The checkpoints are placed to make you redo the most irritating parts and I couldn’t get past bouncy invisible section. Even playing nabbit or yoshi didn’t really help because they have different jump and damage reaction mechanics. I would have agreed with the over hyped reviews if not for the brain damage causing childishness of the story, dialogue, and ‘voice’ work.
RoboQuest has been my main jam for a bit, decent little roguelite shooter. I like how you unlock travel to different areas by finding things from other paths.
Got back into Civ VI after a while and I'm continuing my playthrough of every Civ. Currently playing as Qin Shi Huang (Unifier) and crushed Georgia because they declared a surprise war on me.
Finished all of Mario wonder, got platinum for robocop rogue city and finished sea of stars on my steam deck.
Robocop was so much fun to play and felt like it could have been a new movie in the series.
Playing now dead cells on my steam deck, got my very first Xbox ever during black Friday, the series x and started playing tunic on it and on the PS5 I’m busy with tnmt: shredder’s revenge.
Tunic is being a blast. Love the ingame manual you discover during the playthrough.
High On Life. I’m usually not big on FPSs, but the writing is so dumb/hilarious that I’m still having a blast. Also, that dino love story b-movie that’s on the TV in the living room — I gotta check that out IRL.
Chained Echoes as recommended by a friend. What. A. Game!!! 30 hours in now and i can easily see myself going 100 hours on this. Beautiful story, art and mechanics, tons of old school jrpg feels. Love it
