Sektori starting to click, but I had to drop the difficulty back down while I work towards a full clear. This is on PS5 but I might have another go on Steamdeck to see if I'm getting any better on the handheld too.

Getting Sektori again on PS5 was the right move. Cleared the 3rd boss after a couple of runs on there, and was still struggling with 2nd area on the SteamDeck. Also it clearly belongs on the system with these games...

Another shout for my setup (which is currently in storage while I'm buying a house 😔) still my favourite purchases. Granted the turntable was a new purchase but my glorious 5 disc hi-fi was a charity shop special 😁 I'm still buying vinyl but my friend is "storing" till I can play them at home 🤣
