Plenty of interesting #Spyro news from #XBOX25 How Spyro was part of Toys For Bob's independence, larger world to factor for flight, and "started with a three-block Spyro and flat wings" to find the essence of Spyro Lots that will be held for a later time too... #WhereIsSparx

I got to check out a presentation & learn more of the gameplay loop. Judge vs Accused gameplay seems fun, does a lot to stay unique. The thing I'm most hung up on is that the Saw aspects of it feel more like a skin, than a truly Saw video game, I look forward to keeping an eye on it

After the reveal of Minecraft Dungeons II we got to sit with developers to learn about why they decided to make a sequel, the new features and QoL improvements, and get hands on with the game.

I came into this preview knowing nothing and left laughing at the crazy cult antics. The different skill trees seem like they'll make some wild variations in the end game. Wolf Haus Games have something completely unique on their hands #XBOX25

I had a blast playing @milktooth.bsky.social new title #BadMagpie over the weekend at #XBOX25 I only got 28 out of 30 crystals, and I've still been stuck on what I missed. It's a really fun game to play solo or share and laugh at with a friend. Can't wait for the full release!

Good news #AlienIsolation2 fans, the game is back and it's terrifying... I liked the approach to multiple paths to solve and just how fantastic everything looked, the spatial audio needed just a bit more dialing in.

I got to sit down with @criticalrole.bsky.social ahead of #TheLegendOfVoxMachina S4 to talk Off Screen Moments, Plotline Selection, and Doty as Himself "We always start [...] any writer's room by asking the members of Critical Role 'What's most important to you?'" Video coming next week

This disguised Escape Room is a love letter to classic RPGs. Love when a game forces me to break out a pad & pen. Was impressed with how the retro RPG made me feel nostalgic for my own favorite RPGs If you enjoyed puzzle solving in Tunic check this out!

I had a lovely time playing Sanibel from @elizhargrave.bsky.social and Avalon Hill. Fantastic game to play for a relaxed time, and some interesting invisible game design to help new players focus on their shell bag.

Forever looking forward to the day people can let others like/dislike games they have opposite feelings about Imagine if when an A24 film got 95% RT that Fast and Furious fans sent hate tweets or opposite, just make no sense Enjoy what you enjoy, don't engage in what you don't?

I spoke with Sam Reich, CEO of @dropout.tv and host of @gamechanger.dropout.tv about #GameChangerHomeEdition launching on Kickstarter yesterday. I was excited to hear not just about the three games it's launching with, but how Sam is planning for an expanding modular future for at-home fun.

Using @dwarvenforge.bsky.social for a year now it's really clear why it's the best TTRPG terrain to invest in, but it's strongest moments are when used in conjunction with the reliable staples Check out my review!

Check out 'Friendship' from Riftbound: Unleashed, a neat 1 Mana spell that will fit into a deck of creatures that used well could give you a quick aggressive or defensive play

The new #DigimonStory game is absolutely peak. Combat is incredibly deep, plenty of systems to invest in, and the story is a healthy mix of Tamers and Savers. Took me 55 hours and I've still got about a dozen side quests to complete and Outer Dungeons to find @bandainamcousa.bsky.social

This is actually a kinda interesting idea. Have up your favorite commentator and the official stream, sync up the timer, and it's like picking audio commentary. Also means both streams get the view. I see the vision here

I'm the last person who will say you need to have played all games in a series to be 'eligible' to review But I do think if you're coming in totally fresh there is some level of research that should be done, otherwise there's the potential that your words just won't make sense..
