Neon Abyss was a ton of fun so I'll give the sequel a try. Deep Rock Galactic: Survivor was also great on mobile so I'll probably pick it up for Switch.

I put in quite a few hours on this on mobile. It's fun.

First X game for SNES still the best Mega Man game of them all, for my money.

@AussieMcBucket it did not have mouse support.

Japanese cover is creative, but it's a miss for me. NA box for me.

@Suketoudara did not know Whimsy Girl existed until I read your comment. Listened to it last night. Love it. Thanks for the rec!

@MagicEmperor me too

One of my favorite OSTs. All of Soyo Oka’s SNES stuff is so damn good.

Loved Balatro, but I just could not get into this game. Gave it an hour before giving up and moving on to something else.

Idle Obelisk Miner, of all things, has sunk its claws into me at the moment.

Definitely interests me. Curious to see how the OG Switch version plays.

Are there any permanent upgrades that carry over between runs?

Deep Rock Galactic: Survivor. It’s quickly shooting up the ranks of my favorite bullet heaven games.

I'm gonna wait for the eventual Switch 2 Lite.

I mean, the entire game is mouse mode, isn't it?

.......

Eh? Eh?

Thought that was Inkwell Isle 3 for a minute there in the pic above.

I picked up Lia: Hacking Destiny based on the 'Games We Missed' article and it's been a blast.

I'll also recommend people check out Deku Deals if you don't already. A bunch of the games in the article regularly go on sale.

Lia: Hacking Destiny sounds right up my alley. Just picked it up.

Great article. Mega Man X is absolutely a 10 for me, but that’s just my opinion, man!

Loved Balatro and love Scrabble, so I'm looking forward to giving this a spin.

Very atmospheric OST, and I love Ridley's boss theme.

Nice! One of my favorite OSTs ever.

Oh boy.

I get the thought process behind it, but I think it’s something that works better in theory than in practice.

I really liked Nobody Saves the World, so I'll be keeping an eye on this.

@Browt Alana Hughes just gave Pokopia a glowing review.

Really loving BlazBlue Entropy Effect X at the moment. Combat is great and I love the complexity and depth possible re: customization for your runs.

Interesting. Going to keep an eye on this because if it works I could see myself pouring a million hours into it.

Picked up Sparks of Hope on sale a while back and finally got to it this week. Really enjoying it so far, even more than I expected I would.

29 games, 599 hours. Most played was Core Keeper with 120 hours.

'suggesting that he's put aside any concerns he might have about the ethnical failings of GenAI'

I believe you meant 'ethical'.

Been playing Lost in Random: The Eternal Die the last couple of days. Basically a poor man's Hades, but it's very fun, the combat is great, and it scratches that Hades itch when you've done what you can with Hades II. Recommended!

If anyone's looking for a Dead Cells-styled rougelite that can be punishing but really rewards getting familiar with the combat and mechanics, and also features pretty solid metaprogression through permanent unlocks, check out Dunjungle. Been having a ton of fun with it this week.

Still plugging through Rune Factory 4 Special, but I'm gonna take a break tonight to give Dunjungle a spin.

I had some fun with Nordic Ashes last year on Steam. If Switch performance is decent, I may pick it up.

Been telling myself forever that I was gonna try Rune Factory 4 Special, and I finally dove in. It's got its hooks in and I imagine this will be my game for a while.

I kept all my SNES manuals when I was a kid and still have them to this day all packed away in a drawer in near-mint condition.

Spiritfall. Fantastic rougelite that flew under my radar somehow until last week. Smooth 2D action in the vein of Dead Cells with a boon/perk/relic system similar to Hades. Highly recommended.

I've been jumping back and forth between both games and am hopelessly addicted to both, so yeah, highly recommended.

BALL X PIT has sunk its claws in and will have them there a while, I feel.

Well then. You sold me!

Really liking this in Early Access on my Mac. Fingers crossed that it runs smoothly on OG Switch.

Been playing Early Access on my Mac for quite a while, and yeah, it's an awesome game.

I poured an insane number of hours into Dead Cells and all the post-release content/DLC, so I'm looking forward to this.

Love all of Soyo Oka's soundtracks, and SNES Pilotwings is no exception.

And she did Super Mario RPG!

Like many others, Fantasy Life. Only played for about 12 hours or so, but I can tell this game will consume me for quite a while. Dammit.

I put a ton of hours into Rogue Legacy 2, Balatro, and Core Keeper. All highly recommended if you’re a fan of their respective genres.

One of my favorite OSTs ever.
