Gamer Social Club at Play.NYC 2026 – Sunday Highlight
Here we are. Our last day of highlighting some of the titles that I had a chance to review at Play.NYC. It's the last day of a convention. And if you, like myself, are in your late 30's/early 40's, then you can empathize with...body pains from several days at a con. Consequently, it is only appropriate that our final day's coverage is of an RPG focusing on adventurers...who are a bit older.

I loved trying out @bulletbrain.bsky.social at #PlayNYC. The gameplay was surprisingly addicting and I had to stop myself or else I'd be there forever!

One of the most adorable games at #PlayNYC this year is @rondosromp.bsky.social. It reminds me a lot of platformer games I played when I was younger! It's also heartwarming to know the main character Rondo was based off the developer's childhood pet dog.
