Sorry this discussion post is a bit late, I should probably set a reminder for it.

    Hollow Knight; I’m playing it for the first time and I’ve progressed enough to get the true ending, but I’m going to do some of the side content before I do. Probably not 100%ing, I’ve already struggled to get this far, but I’ll try to get every charm and finish the Troupe before finishing off my playthrough. It’s a great game, and I’m definitely excited to play Silksong, if that manages to release within my lifetime.

    I’ve mostly been emulating lately. I’ve been playing Quest for Hat, which is an Earthbound rom hack, and Donkey Kong Country 2 since those have RetroAchievement’s achievement of the week and achievement of the month respectively.

    Last game I played was Lorelai. Why did nobody tell me how frickin awesome that game is? I thought it was a generic jumpscare 3d horror indy. But it’s actually really cool horror adventure. And the previous title in the series The Cat Lady is even more badass.

    Got Lorelai some time ago for free on GOG and never played it because of above reservations. But somehow it always stayed in my head so I decided to actually try it and was blown away.

    A bit of Balatro and Tiny Terry’s Turbo Trip when i want a short session.

    Have also installed Borderlands 2 to try out Stick Flicking. Aiming is going great, still trying to learn to turn around in hectic situations. But at least the steam controller configurations are great.

    Balatro - trying to beat black stakes on blue deck currently

    Black Book - fun little deck building game with surprising depth when it comes to lore, I’d day the amount of game mechanics makes it a wide but shallow game, it’s not a bad thing, it’s easy to get into, easy to play, and gives just enough to have this RPG feeling

    Deep Rock Galactic Survivor - haven’t played in a long time so I just discovered the new biome, beautiful, and I like the new challenges, I still think it’s the superior “survivor” game, but I’m afraid once it comes out of early access, the genre as a whole will be out of fashion

    Kingdom Come: Deliverance 1 and I’m overwhelmed by the dexterity required in combat. KC:D has a really dirty combat system: Even if you’re doing everything right and unless the fight is decided very quickly, you’re gonna get some serious hits.

      Played through that last month, had a great time with it. Made me want to go back and replay Jet Set Radio, but the movement in JSR felt really bad after having recently played BRC.

    Thinking of firing it up and trying Kirby air ride with my wife. My daughter is way to Needy for me to play anything real.

    Potioncraft: Alchemist Simulator. Love the mechanics, it’s like what I wished Strange Horticulture would be when I first picked it up.

    I’ve been playing through Lost Judgement lately, and really enjoying it. I enjoy the Yakuza/LAD games in general, but I think Judgement/Lost Judgement really benefits from the gameplay additions for detective work. The game runs pretty well on Steam Deck too.

    Also been playing through Doom Eternal again, which is always enjoyable. Playing with gyro aiming and flickstick for quick turning is a great way to play the game without a mouse.

      I really wanted to try Judgement from its description, but I have a hard time getting through Yakuza games because although they’re great, they are a bit too long for me.

      Is Judgment / Lost Judgment as big as a “regular” Yakuza?

        Yes, they’re big games. You can get through them much faster if you skip side content, but that’s a lot of the charm of the games.
