I tried Keep Talking and Nobody Explodes again today, after years of not playing it. Had a lot of fun, and even beat a bunch of previously best times!
I also tried Balatro for the first time today. Really cool music and aesthetics, but not for me. I could see someone who likes Poker, getting super into it though.
Been playing a lot of Dice & Fold though, which I initially thought that I wouldn’t care for, but which has really turned into an obsession. That and Storyteller have been so much fun to play!
Next up, I want to give PowerWash Simulator a try, as I hear a lot of good things about it.
Stardew with my SO :)
I hit chapter 3 of 6 in Conscript. So far, it’s been an enjoyable Resident Evil-esque experience, but chapter 3 has some issues with the environment design. Most notably, there are some puddles you can walk over and others you can’t, and the difference between the two is subtle and frustrating. I also think there’s something lost from the brilliance of Resident Evil 1 when Conscript’s environment is so much bigger. How you manage your resources is very important, and it’s more intuitive how you want to do that when you’re retreading a small space than a larger one. I’d still recommend this one so far, but I had to mention those caveats.
Since Conscript requires a dedicated hour or two set aside to make any progress, I’ve been getting back to Divinity: Original Sin a bit lately. The last time I played this was months ago, so I had to look up a walkthrough to continue making progress and pick up where I left off, but the game is still good.
I beat Wolfenstein II: The New Colossus, and I’d say it is largely an improvement over the previous game with one exception. There’s approximately one point per level where there’s just an arena of enemies surrounding you, and I don’t think the game is well built for it, given how fast they chew through your health and your inability to dodge hitscan weapons. I’m very much looking forward to Indiana Jones now that I’ve finished this one.

Anybody else playing the new satisfactory update?
Decided it was time for this year’s tour of No Man’s Sky. The Worlds 1 and Aquarius updates are really nice. I think I missed checking it out last year but every time I revisit this game it makes me happy that there is at least one story out there of a game with a rocky launch where the studio stuck by their product and made something wonderful.
I just picked up Hogwarts Legacy on the recent PlayStation sale. Haven’t made it too far in yet but I can tell this game will eat up some hours.
