Because why NOT write this at midnight???

  • Bombe: I'm kinda obsessed with this minesweeper+programming puzzler but I think I may be hitting burnout after 70 or so hours. Which is like 1/4 of the way into the game. I'll come back to it soon tho I bet.
  • Leaf's Odyssey: It's a DRODlike! Those are SO rare. Difficulty level is through the roof, but that's to be expected from a game inspired by a classic 90s puzzle game.
  • Helle's Undersea City Project - Bringing Air To The Garden - a tiny doujin game with literally zero english reviews. A very minimalist citybuilder clearly meant to be a one-and-done experience. Pretty cute tho!
  • Super Robot Wars 30: I got so into this I started watching mobile suit gundam. As usual for this franchise it's way too much game but we'll see how long i stick with it. GA GA GA GAGAGA GAOGAIGAR
  • Void Stranger: Zandra insisted I play this. It's pretty neat but I think I absolutely would have ragequit and never looked back without zandra's guidance. It's that kinda game. The puzzles are fun and it's pretty intriguing tho.
  • Isles of Sea and Sky: I went into this with substantial IGF foreknowledge and blasted through the first 3/4 of the game as a result. Now that I'm hitting puzzles I'm less familiar with it's much harder. Still enjoying it a lot.
  • Ratchet and Clank: Rift Apart: It was finally on deep enough discount on steam for me to pick it up. It's very AAA, very clasically very expensive timewaster. I don't play much like this anymore but I guess sometimes it's nice to have one in my library for when I want game junkfood. Also Rivet's design is excellent.
  • Hades 2: I picked it up on day 1 and played it so much it told me to stop playing twice. So I did. It's fun! It's very hades.
  • Touhou Genso Wanderer: FORESIGHT: Huge disappointment. Takes everything that made Genso Wanderer Reloaded a great roguelike and throws it out the window. Doesn't even have fun ideas like Lotus Labyrinth did. Why the FUCK would you make a roguelike with persistent leveling up?? Grindy and actively works against what makes the genre good. What a missed opportunity.
  • Anodyne 2: Return to Dust: I started playing this finally only to get distracted by 800 other games. RIP
  • Another Code Remake (Game 2): I started this ages ago but progress is very slow because I barely ever pull out my switch right now. That said, it's wild to see an adventure-game-ass adventure game get a full remake like this. Never would have expected it.

it's so neat to see a DRODlike out in the wild. i been keeping an eye on Addlemoth's development and im super excited to see that one come to fruition. Leaf's Odyssey looks mighty cute and i gotta give it a shot when i can.

I'd love more details how Hades II tells you to stop playing. Not many games do that, so I'm curious if it was subtle (just "This is all of the Early Access content we got") or explicit. ("You have played a lot, player!")

Also, Anodyne 2 is 100% worth returning to. It shouldn't take too long, and the story is one that means a lot to me personally.

in reply to @MOOMANiBE's post:

Having already played through the first game in the remake, I'd say "solid little mystery game, very easy, very short, but entertaining enough" for that one. The 2nd game I hear is much longer and more fleshed out so we'll see!

oh man I can sympathize with 'fuck I'm playing 800 games right now' but whenever you get a chance to sit down with Anodyne 2 I'm interested to hear your thoughts -- it surprised me in a lot of ways and there are some tracks in there that are absolute all-timers for me.

robot wars 30 is like, the MOST too-much-game robot wars, and honestly I think it puts a really bad foot forward for the series proper international debut in a lot of ways, especially playing it right after some earlier titles that are much more tightly balanced and plotted.
