So here's one of those!
- Ghost Trick: Phantom Detective: This rerelease of my favourite game was just as excellent as I'd hoped and I marathoned the entire game in like two days. I love ghost trick. I hope more people get a chance to finally play it.
- Forever Skies: This survivalcraft just released in early access. Think Raft with blimps. You fly around a deserted future earth and collect things and build out your blimp, with the eventual goal of finding the cure to a virus. A strong aesthetic and novel concept really elevate this one for me - I play a LOT of survivalcrafts and frankly I'm tired of chopping down trees. Nice to see a game with different ideas, even if it's borrowing many of those from Raft.
- Vintage Story: Speaking of survivalcrafts, this minecraft inspired weird hyperdetailed Thing has become a new podcast game for me. I'm not 100% sure how I feel about it yet - I like its creative goals but it's so, so hard to figure out what I'm supposed to (or able to) do moment-to-moment. A common feature of the more minecraft-inspired games in the genre, tbh. Gonna keep with it.
- Fuga: Melodies of Steel 2: I'm not so much playing this rn as I got distracted from it and need to get back to it. Love these games. Tense, exciting and strategic. One day I will get zandra to play them.
- ШП - ShP: An extremely weird interface-fuckery puzzle game. Honestly I suspect people on cohost might like this uniquely. It's got the CSS Crimes vibes. Click shit and things happen, figure out obscure goals etc. It's on steam, if you search for it.
- TOTK: I can tell I'm reaching the end of my playtime with this game because I'm touching it less and less lately. I'm pretty close to 100% of shrines done. After that.. I think it's gonna be time for me to wrap things up.
- Fallen London: I've stuck with this longer than I've ever stuck with any live game at this point, though I can feel the initial - lengthy - blast of fervent enthusiasm slowly fading now that I'm nearing the 5 month mark. Fucking around in Parabola has been interesting, but I'm not quite sure how to make progress towards a lot of the hanging things I'd like to click on. I'd like this to be a game I stick with long term, if possible, but that definitely means finding ways to mitigate my ADHD making me forget what the fuck I was doing - and how to make progress on those goals - constantly. I guess that's what taking notes is for, lol.
