    Under Night In-Birth II [Sys:Celes] - Haven’t had a whole lot of time to practice, but I’m working on charge partitioning. Managed to get double ball a few times in a match.

    Mahjong Soul/Riichi City/IRL mahjong - After getting demoted to Expert I went on an even worse losing streak for a bit, but I seem to be clawing my way back now. It’s just sample size, or so I keep telling myself.

    Splatoon 3 - Grand Festival was rad. Not the Turf War part, Turf still sucks, but it was the second best concert I saw all week.

    I just got into death duel VR wich is a PVP VR physics based sword fighting game where if you get hit on the arm it gets disabled or legs or spine… it’s been pretty fun. I also got back in skyrim VR with my conjuration build that just revives my last strongest enemies as undead thralls so i have 3 companions fighting for me. :)

    The rerelease of Doom 1.

    This time with Pistol Start, as I recently learned that the levels were balanced around that. It is challenging, but feels so right. The beginning of a level often plays like a little puzzle. Who to kill in what order to get to a decent weapon, before your 50 pistol shots run out. Can’t wait to play the new semi-official expansion they added with the rerelease.

    Yakuza 3 Remastered

    I’m about halfway through it, so I probably won’t finish this week, but I’m really enjoying it. I’m hoping to finish it before the new Zelda game releases, which is what I plan to dive into next.

    I also plan to play a few indies as well, so please reply with any you think are worth checking out. I have a list, but I’m always up for recs.

        Yup, started with 0 and working my way through.

        Some genres I especially like:

        • puzzles - Return of the Obra Dinn, Manifold Garden, etc
        • platformers - absolutely loved INSIDE and LIMBO, currently enjoying A Hat in Time, loved Psychonauts (Psychonauts 2 is on the list, but it’s not really “indie” anymore), little nightmares
        • metroidvanias - Blue Fire, Hollow Knight, etc
        • point and click - Darkside Detective, Deponia, etc
        • fighting/souls-like - Furi, Titan Souls
        • story - What Remains of Edith Finch
        • other - Recettear, Grand Mountain Adventure, Human Resource Machine

        Basically, if it has really good gameplay or story, I’ll probably like it.

        It’s probably more interesting to point out what I tend to not like:

        • roguelikes
        • city builders - I like high quality builders like Cities: Skylines, but indies tend to not have the budget
        • rhythm
        • stealth
        • shooters - very samey; I’d rather play AAA, such as Doom

        But then again, there’s an exception to each of these (e.g. I loved Slay the Spire and Black Mesa). So honestly, I’d probably enjoy anything that really stands out as being unique or interesting.

          Nice. Of the classic Yakuza games I liked 4 the best, I hope you will enjoy it as much as I did.

          I will just mention some of the games I played from the genres you like. They are all pretty well known, so you probably played them already or have them on your list.

          Puzzles: Does Turn Based Combat count as puzzles? Tactical Breach Wizards and Into the Breach (A rogue like, but it is sooo good).

          Platformers: Celeste, Horace, Dustforce and Little Nightmares

          Metroidvanias: Guacamelee

          Point and Click: Everything by Wadjet Eye Games. Seriously, everything they developed or published.

          Story aka Walking Simulators: The Suicide of Rachel Foster, Firewatch, The Beginner’s Guide, Dr. Langeskov (It’s free!), Jazzpunk, The Vanishing of Ethan Carter

            Tactical Breach Wizards and Into the Breach

            I’ve played Into the Breach, but not Tactical Breach Wizards, adding it to the list. :)

            Platformers: Celeste, Horace, Dustforce and Little Nightmares

            Loved Little Nightmares, haven’t played the others. Thanks!

            Guacamelee

            I’ve definitely heard of it, but never got around to it. Thanks for the reminder.

            Wadjet Eye Games

            Huh, I haven’t played any of those, I’ll add a couple and probably end up playing all of them. Thanks!

            Story aka Walking Simulators

            Firewatch and Jazzpunk are on the list, I have The Vanishing of Ethan Carter, but the others aren’t.

            These are some fantastic recommendations, thanks!!
