Performance is atrocious. I’d heard it had improved for a bit, then regressed with the update ~1 year ago, but as someone new to the game I found it unplayable when I bought it in February. I’m hoping the upcoming patch re-fixes performance back to where people tell me it used to be, but I’m not holding my breath.

1. Puzzle Bobble Everybubble
2. Super Mario Bros. Wonder
3. TotK

I enjoyed TotK a lot while playing it, but it hasn’t stuck with me the way many other games have. Puzzle Bobble I expect to be a big part of my 2024 as well when I tackle EX levels.

I picked up Portal and Talos Principle for ~$12 combined. I guess it’ll be a very puzzle Winter!

It’s great! I would’ve loved async multiplayer and rewind undo (instead of only being able to reset the then), but these are small things.

I really enjoyed Unavowed! It's medium length (~10hrs) and there aren't any particularly difficult or esoteric puzzles. The story and setting are great, feels very Dresden Files.

Earthworm Jim! In the soil he did crawl. Earthworm Jim! A super suit did fall. 🎶

I just finished all hunts in MH Rise (~230hrs), so now I’m getting back into the swing of MHGU (~470hrs and counting).

Needless to say, I’m excited for Sunbreak.

Unavowed is a lot of fun! I played it over Christmas - great setting and art, great story (especially if you like eg. Dresden Files) with branching paths, and for me it was at that Just Right point and click difficulty level where it isn't so easy that it feels like I'm playing Powerpoint and mindlessly clicking, but also not so hard that I go look up solutions in frustration.

The visuals are fine by me - if it runs smooth, I’m in.

For those that have it, does it play decently without an n64 controller? It's been so long that I've forgotten the control scheme.
