    Lots of CRPG and TRPG. A few experimental indie RTS. And a few indie auto-battlers. Plus a few casual co-op shooters. Oh, and some indie horror as well.

    I’m surprised no one has mentioned Caves of Qud or Path of Achra (I got them both). Aren’t we hipster enough?

    Wanted to play It Takes Two with my gf when it launched. Hoping to convince her now that she’s my wife

      I wish I could play Cyberpunk for the first time again. Enjoy! Did you see the anime Cyberpunk: Edgerunners? Would highly recommend.

    Nothing. It was a difficult choice, but it was a necessary sacrifice in favor of the games, collecting dust in my library :*-)

    The talos principle 1 & 2. Playing through 1 now, and it’s excellent. Some of the puzzles are complex, but most can be solved in 5-10 minutes and give a nice “ah-ha!” moment. It reminds me of portal 2, but with a heavier and more ambiguous story about the nature of life and consciousness. Highly recommended.

    Also been playing some Dome keeper and Peglin. Both also excellent in their own ways.

      Both Talos Principle games are a treat. Really love the philosophy and story mixed in between the puzzles. Enjoy!

    And I gifted Freedom Planet 2 to a friend.

    The Winter Sale isn’t over until January 2nd, so I might buy some more games before it ends. Problem is, I own most of the games on the Steam front page, so finding new and interesting games is getting difficult.

      This. I feel totally underwhelmed by the sale this year because everything on the front page I already either own or have no interest in. I know the discovery queue exists, but it primarily tries to feed me the same jank I already know exists.

        I have absolutely no idea what it’s about, but it’s only $2 (90% off) and I’m a sucker for steep deals, so I couldn’t pass it up.

          It’s not fear Effect that’s for sure. You’re better off spending the time emulating (since they are hella expensive physical) Fear Effect 1 and 2: Double Helix.

          Resident evil camera angle and gameplay but with super spy lesbians

    Tactical Breach Wizards. It’s a nice little puzzle game with some dry humor that ive actually chuckled too a few times. Its a lot of fun so far.

    I got:

    Saints Row 2022 Not actually that bad honestly. I think we were too harsh on them. It’s still fun, the characters are likeable, and it’s got all the stuff you expect for a saints row game.

    CP Phantom Liberty Not gonna be able to get this played for a bit but I’m hopeful.

    Anemoiapolis I like backrooms and I got Pools a few weeks ago but got kind of bored so hopefully this one is better since it has actual puzzles.

    I’m spoilering these. You know what that means. Don’t fucking @ me.

    spoiler

    Mage Kanade’s Futanari Dungeon Quest

    Midnight Castle Succubus

    Tower and Sword: Succubus These last two are part of a series, and I already played Castle in the Clouds. Even without the porn it’s still a competent side scroller action platformer so I have good hopes for these two.

    Might get more idk.

    I don’t use steam too much, but I did get Minishoot Adventures, and it’s excellent.

    It’s like if Zelda was a bullet hell. The base difficulty isn’t too hard, but it’s challenging enough. And you get to explore and do dungeons. It’s really fun.

      Thanks for the recommendation! I hadn’t heard of it before but bought it on sale today. Looks pretty good and I appreciate they have options for people who suck at bullet hell games 😆

        You’re welcome!

        When you die in this game there’s no real penalty other than going back to the last checkpoint. So even if you leveled up or something you keep that, you just might go back a few screens. It’s great!
