  • If you enjoy Slay the Spire and are interested in more rogue like deckbuilders, I’m a big fan of Griftlands.

    It’s pretty small in scope but it has some fun ideas and three base characters/decks with their own stories you follow. It does have some meta-progression if you care about that. I find making builds in it really fun and it’s incredibly satisfying to see a deck come together and just destroy everything in your path.








  • Not that old, but I’ve been playing some Far Cry 5 recently since it went on decent sale for 14 bucks on steam and I was bored.

    I remember being amazed at how good far cry 3 had been all those years ago, and I know that pretty much every far cry since has been a similar game with a different skin and some updated mechanics.

    The whole “home grown USA cult” does hit a bit more interesting these days, but I honestly keep finding myself shaking my head because it feels like reality is somehow more ridiculous than this far cry game in that essence.

    Game is fine, I am enjoying doing the same shooting over and over as a little mental break . I feel like this game is a real missed opportunity not having a set, voiced protagonist. Choosing your blank, voiceless murder machine makes every cutscene awkward because everyone is just talking at you instead of having actual dialogue or growth.






  • I agree with the guy that said Outer Wilds, even though I can’t finish it because of my thalassophobia.

    Personally, the two games that had a really profound effect on me are Disco Elysium and Hi-Fi Rush.

    Disco is an incredible political game that really is damn powerful. It’s definitely not for people who just want action.

    Hi-Fi Rush is a rhythm action game so I wouldn’t recommend it to people who hate rhythm games or people who hate action. But it’s so fun, so charming and really uplifting.


  • I wouldn’t say a big find(and not in this exact video), but I loved Warhammer 40k: Rogue Trader, which is on sale for this event.

    If you like numbery CRPGs with fun choices and great companions, give it a look. I knew very little about 40k going in and it made me a big fan of the entire universe when I never expected to be.

    I can be overwhelming sometimes and definitely still buggy since a new DLC just came out, but an absolute timeless game in my opinion.




  • I thought remake’s combat system was great and it was my game of the year when I came out. FF16 was also great for me, but it was never going to make everyone happy, it had far too many issues and was a focused action game.

    Ff7 rebirth though- holy shit, it was just too fucking long. Too exhausting to play. So much shit to do it was overwhelming and SO, SO much filler. So many terrible, stupid story decisions undercutting emotional moments and jumping the shark on itself. I went from loving it because it was more remake to hating it because of many of the changes and the writing. Just…exhausting.

    Square just seem like they are missing hard because FF16 was too focused, and FFRebirth is too big and up it’s own ass.
