Some excellent news to hear in this current industry climate of lay offs and uncertainty. Great studio, great games, great future ✌️

@N8tiveT3ch English vox actor being trash is a widely popular opinion haha. I still love XC2 though in all its cheesy glory.

My wallet has taken a serious beating the past few months I tell you that

Monster Train First Class

Had the physical sat wrapped and unopened for a while now. Think I’ll wait just a little bit longer so my daughter and I can play through together 😁

Nintendo don’t have to worry about the console wars because they bloody well won it, with a handheld of all things. They are dominating.

Amazing game, still need to finish it though. Damn you SMT Vengence

Give me the switch but with more power baby. Just imagine how glorious 1st party games are going to look with Nintendo hands on with the optimisation.

Nintendo need to take advantage of Sony’s recent blunder for sure

@Divide_and_Wander I like this sizzle reel idea a lot!

I’ll be grabbing the physical of this once it releases. I have the most fondest memories of playing a ripped Japanese copy of MVC2 on the Dreamcast back in the day

Yeah this one is gunna be a physical buy for me fellow gamers. Looking forward to it!

@Walterd Oh god yeah how can I forget?!

@The-Chosen-one
No joke, all its moves are physical thrusts attacks or thrusting piercing buffs. Oh and a charm debuff for enemies 😂

I spat my coffee out when I first fused Mara 🤣

@cosmograph keep up the great work 💪🏻

This weekend I’m still playing Pizza Tower. I honestly think this could be GOTY for me.

Happy gaming all ✌️

@Glasso
Gosh how did I forget about Gravity Circuit?! That is top tier

I can’t help but say, just play 30xx instead. That game has everything you’ll ever want if you’re a megaman fan

Personally I think it’s great that the PS5 owners have a game to play now.

To add to my previous comment. This is a solid 11/10 for me. I’ve had a lot more time with it now and I cannot describe the exhilarating feeling you get when you P-rank a level. I’ve almost fully cleared the first floor and can’t wait to tackle the rest of the game.

I have a Pizza Tower to climb. See you at the top folks.
Happy gaming all

Ironically this list does not feature Epyx Rogue. Unless I missed it, otherwise I apologise.

I’m not the target audience. My daughter is. She will be in awe of this movie no matter what. I will enjoy taking her to see it because of the joy it will bring her

I couldn’t resist in the end and snapped this up. I’ve spent about 10 hours just trying to P-Rank the first level. The controls felt so fiddly at first but once it clicks, it’s smooth as heck. Got a feeling I’ll be sticking with this one a while.

I had a great session on Steam World Heist 2 today, I’m having a lot of fun with it.
For the rest of the weekend, I’m aiming to finish the base story on SMTVengence!
Happy gaming all

The last trailer they released a few weeks back showed me enough that I’ll get this release day. I won’t be watching this one.

You know how black mirror explores alternative dystopian realities.
We’re living in one and its life source is based on popular cultured memes. Literally everything is a meme

I can’t, I just can’t.

It’s got to the point in the switch’s life cycle where my back log (and my wallet) just cannot take the sadistic abuse anymore.

This game just looks, there are no words, I must resist. My back log has become so gargantuan, it’s become sentient, it talks to me and pleads no more.

This whole direct was pretty rude tbh

First game is brutal on hard mode. Will probably check this out

While I’m sad the updates to this phenomenal game have ended. I feel like I can finally aim to finish the boss cells without fear of new things to learn/be overwhelmed by

Man I remember playing this on its original release. I was 8 or 9. My introduction to adventure games. A one of a kind gaming experience I’ll never forget.
Not sure if it’ll have the same impact nowadays on newcomers but it’s a game everyone should play at least once.

The Evil Dead universe is my favourite horror series ever. I will get that at least. Maybe Halloween further down the line.

My brother had a pirated Japanese copy of F-Zero X. 10 year old me had to work it all out. I remember Deathrace vividly.
I’ve had a quick blast on the switch online service recently and it still holds up well.

I’ll be playing the newly re-released Doom package, Volgarr the Viking 2 and SMTV. What a great mix. Happy gaming all

My daughter made a good observation regarding link in the poster art. He’s surrounded by a purple aura (which could just be the background of the other dimension), we think it’s possible Link might have an antagonistic role within the game.

@anoyonmus

More than happy to explain. The whole game is about playing poker hands to beat the blinds (basically the score you must make with your poker hands). You play 8 rounds, each round has a small blind, a big blind and a boss blind. You have to beat the boss blind in order to progress to the next round. The blinds get progressively higher and more difficult to make. And boss blinds will have a specific random gimmick that will try to stop your winning streak. You win once you beat the 8th boss blind.
The hands you play give different chip values and multipliers. The rarer the hand, the higher the score. However as you learn the game, you can easily win with a ‘high card’ run. You start with a set number of hands you can play and discards to draw new cards.
The game gets truly spicy with all the jokers (they all give you different powers, quirks and passive effects), tarot cards (give your cards new effects like added multipler or chip bonus) etc), planet cards (hand upgrading).
The game comes with oodles of different card sets to play, tons of added difficulty modifiers, synergies to experiment with. Every run is random giving the game tonnes of replay-ability.
I’ve had a lot of fun with it. It’s the kind of game that won’t ever make sense until you try it.

Excellent news! I burnt out on Balatro when it released, cained it for 200 odd hours. Had a break and now it’s a game I jump into once an evening to try and complete the odd stake. This game is going to stand the test of time.

This is looking fabulous, looks like Zelda is bringing some unique but familiar gameplay our way.

Darkest Dungeon 2 and Bo are my picks this month. Viva la indies, gaming lives on

Chip and mult until it is done

Awful news this. This is one of my favourite publishers. Wishing nothing but the best for the work force

The game needs realtime online leader boards and a real online mode.

The first game is top tier. This looks like they’re taking it to the next level! My daughter and I are very excited

Pre-ordered and ready to compete! 😁

Due to tough financial times, I cashed in the original without ever really playing it. Always said I’d rebuy once I’m back on my feet. They announced this version two days after I cashed it in. Just bought a copy on prime day sales. Looking forward to a more juiced up game.

@LikelySatan Biggest problem with RPGs right, you can only really commit to one at a time. I’m planning on Star Ocean next, it’s at a great price on sale at the moment. It must be good if it tore you away from UO. Make sure you get back to UO at some point, it’s incredibly involving.

I picked up Unicorn Overlord this week and my daughters little face when she realised it wasn’t what she expected 😆
I’ll be playing that in the evenings and probably Minecraft during the day.
Happy gaming all.

@Axecon my money’s on Pokemon poop, the daily poop habit tracker

I picked up Disgaea 4 complete+ last week on sale so going to continue playing through that. In between, Dicefolk is impressing me more and more with each run. The game offers an absurd amount of build customisation and optimisation and I’m enjoying discovering the endless possibilities. I worried that the ‘Pokemon’ side of things would put me off, but the game is pure deck building which was a pleasant realisation for me.
Happy gaming all

I remember when this game first got announced back in the day. Hearing the premise back then filled me with excitement. I unfortunately never got the opportunity to play. Now here might be the perfect time and couldn’t be a more perfect studio to bring it in.
