I just bought the whole Zachtronics Puzzle Pack 😀 and started looking at the games, playing a bit Tis-100 (where your goal is to rewrite corrupted code segments of the 1970s Tis-100 mainframe computer ... in its own special assembly language 🙃) but then switched to Opus Magnum.

In this game, you're an alchemist in a steampunk world who builds transmutation engines to produce concoctions.

It's relatively accessible ... I mean compared to Shenzhen I/O and especially Tis-100, which is seriously inaccessible. There is no writing code and it's more intuitive.

So if you want to play one of their games, I'd recommend starting with this, though at €20 it's their most expensive one (but also has the most production value, even has a real storyline 😉).

I’m into Hoyoverse games, especially Zenless Zone Zero and Honkai Star Rail. I’ve touched Honkai Impact 3rd and Genshin Impact as well, I’d check Genshin out because of the brand new area.

Please don’t ask for my game IDs or even which server I play in if any of you also play those, I’d rather my account over here not be connected to my stuff outside of here.

Speaking of Hoyoverse, they’re also making this cozy game: https://www.reddit.com/r/StarCuckooLand/

I’m aware Tears of Themis exists, but as an aro: Meh. Uninterested.

I played 'Turnip Boy Commits Tax Evasion' purely for the insane title. It is delightfully weird and for the most part a very fun little game. I did not enjoy the puzzle sections because they were extremely repetitive. Still, you play as a turnip that apparently hates written pieces of paper so they must all be destroyed (including your tax forms)

Played an evening of 'Streets of rage 4' with 2 friends on the couch since it was a free PSN game (and we had fun)

Played a bit of LEGO Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga (again because it was free on PSN) I'll come back to this when I have more time, since it is one of those 'collect-a-ton' games.

Right now I'm playing Toem: A photo adventure on Switch. A really nice, charming black and white game where you are basically being a tourist and taking pictures of everything and by doing so, you are helping other people out. Very relaxing.

I like playing undertale. It is a really good game and I would recommend it and it is one of the only games to actually make me feel sad about a characters backstory.

I'm taking a break from the Zachtronics games and am now playing Workers & Resources: Soviet Republic, which goes directly against my political views. But at least I can decide that nobody gets a car. 😜

This is a really tough one, super-super-detailed, and one of those games where you have to watch some videos about it to start efficiently. The graphics ain't that great, but the depth of this game more than makes up for this.

Despite the planned economy being such a hassle, I believe that communism works if I am in charge, comrades!

It's so much more realistic than your usual city builder where silly stuff happens like simply increasing funding for police really increases safety. 😉

i recently got project diva for my switch and i’ve been having fun with that recently. i’ve also greatly improved with lucina in smash ultimate for next season. not much beyond that, at least until the next deltarune chapter comes out.

I'm on both although I mostly play Bedrock as I find it easier to customise :)

Now playing: Black Myth: Wukong

Despite all the controversies about it, I bought it.

You play an anthropomorphic monkey, yeah, ok. That's a minus. I don't know the Chinese legend.

The Asian setting is a big plus, there are too few games with that! The art direction is really great, also the boss designs that (as far as I can say, I just started) all look really different and have different move sets. It's fast-paced, but the difficulty seems rather easy.

Do you mean as the main setting of the game? Because in my experience, there are quite a lot of games with Asian settings, although they tend to just be treated as “one of many locations” instead of “the main game happens here and here only”, but a bunch of the latter do exist, especially if the developers are Asian-based themselves.
