So many unplayed games in my library… Let’s play them all!
In my downtime between exploring the temples and markets of Xi’an, I’ve been continuing my way through Haiku, the Robot. The game’s influence from Super Metroid is becoming more obvious as I near the end, but it doesn’t change how fun it is to play.
I love playing Metroidvanias.
I tried to get into Hacknet, but it wasn’t working for me. I don’t think it’s a problem with the game, it’s just that a game that simulates hacking into servers felt a little bit too much work for me.
I haven’t had much chance to play new games recently. I recently got made redundant, and as a result I’ve decided to spend some time travelling the world. The adventure finally starts this week, but I don’t want to forget about gaming and game development.
Sometimes it’s possible to implement everything perfectly, yet still end up with a product that doesn’t quite work. Galak-Z is a game that seems to be trying something new. And, while all the individual components that make up the game work, they don’t quite fit together.
This week I play a challenging romantic comedy about death. A puzzle game where you are a dancing reaper, ensuring that the right people die, and die in the right way. With narration by the great Patrick Stewart, what’s not to like.
This is probably the most important game I’ve ever played. It’s the most important game you will ever play. It touches on themes that are even more relevant now than 2019, the year it was released, in particular the uses of AI and it’s moral implications.
Might and Magic is one of the oldest CRPG series that I never really got into. Starting with microcomputers in 1986, 3DO were steadily releasing games until they were sold the rights to Ubisoft.
This week I spent some time playing a tough game that tries to emulate our economic system. People often ask “if capitalism is so good, why isn’t there a Capitalism 2?” Well, there is, and it’s in my Steam library.
Due to licensing issues with the music, Spec Ops: The Line has been delisted from several platforms, including Steam. I happened to have it in my library already, so I figured it was a good time to give it a full playthrough.
The Pandemic and Cracking the Cryptic have led to a resurgence in Sudoku popularity, so Studio Goya teamed up with Cracking the Cryptic to bring a large collection of Sudoku puzzles.
