  • Remnant 2 - fun game, not as difficult as Remnant 1 imo but better for it.

    Cities Skylines - no idea why I got the urge to play it. I’ve had a few failed attempts previously. And I still find it hard as hell to plan my shit out instead of haphazardly placing zones and industries. I’m still very early on (pre-office blocks) and my map is already a mess. I’m playing with the industry, mass transit and plazas DLCs. The industry one seems like fun but I haven’t got to the other two yet. I’m looking forward to the sequel but I know I’m going to suck at that too







  • I started playing roguelikes with flash Binding of Isaac I bought for 99p in a steam sale, pre-Wrath of the Lamb. I’m still playing Rebirth and its expansions well over a decade later. I’d describe it as the perfect game. Why it shines as opposed where other great roguelites don’t is because of how the items interact with each other. The interaction is key. It’s still pure joy to walk into a room and absolutely melt everything in a second because of a synergy you’ve never seen. And now I think about it, what really makes the roguelike genre a favourite of mine is where every run is a challenge from the game: break me. I’d point at Noita as another game with this philosophy. Being given a random selection of tools and trying to cobble them together into something unstoppable.
