Robin Enrico @robinhoodie.bsky.social · 28/09/2026Elden Ring Shadow of the Erd Tree (XSX) Vaccination weekend play. A lot to take in but in being denser than the main game, a much more enjoyable experience in terms of pure exploration. Way more riding Torrent to cover distance. Constant, "I bet I can get over there" and then figuring out how to. 100

Robin Enrico @robinhoodie.bsky.social · 21/09/2026Foundational texts. A fun quiz. It is funny, I have had students that are convinced I do not like Manga / Anime. My guess is because I am not even the least bit up to date on what is going on in that world that they cannot conceive of someone liking something but also not intensely following it. 040
Robin Enrico @robinhoodie.bsky.social · 20/09/2026I wish I had a more interesting answer than Mega Man 2. But so many early games are tricky or esoteric in a way that as a kid I might have gotten too frustrated to have fun. I was a child who had BIG emotions about not being good at things. Mega Man 2 had rules that made sense and I could master. 030

Robin Enrico @robinhoodie.bsky.social · 12/09/2026I felt the tides of this 10 years ago when I curated my own micro convention. I don't reminisce fondly but it pushed back well enough. Things haven't gotten any better since. All you can do is try to carve out a space that matches your vision and hope there are enough people who want what you want. 050
Robin Enrico @robinhoodie.bsky.social · 12/09/2026Crazy Taxi World Tour Net Test (XSX) They actual invented a way to make the series feel fresh. Adding not only rival drivers, but cops trying to stop you. A racing mode that plays out as roller coaster. Might as well steal ideas from Need For Speed as that series is likely done. Speaking of stealing 130

Robin Enrico @robinhoodie.bsky.social · 05/09/2026Battle Garegga (ARC) Great graphics, strong music, for sickos only. The bullet hell shooter's greatest choice in the modern era is to say "quarter feed if you want to." The casual player can see the sights, others can 1CC. My world has always been constrained, games always made it larger and freer. 060
Robin Enrico @robinhoodie.bsky.social · 01/09/2026Lara Croft Go (AND) A series of rapid iteration order-of-operations puzzles that at all time FEELS like the action of the first Tomb Raider; down to the haunting musical flourishes. My first tablet game, and I am shocked at how seamless the touch controls are. I get the sense this is a huge outlier. 040

Robin Enrico @robinhoodie.bsky.social · 24/08/2026New comic. First chapter of something longer. Going to have to build it chapter by chapter. Enjoy. 263
Robin Enrico @robinhoodie.bsky.social · 23/08/2026God, to have the experience where you are just walking through and you start to hear the song and your brain starts to put together just what is happening... 131
Robin Enrico @robinhoodie.bsky.social · 23/08/2026Duskbloods Net Test (NS2) Everything fun about the game is spoiled by the timer. Great combat, movement, exploration. Which you never get to savor because you HAVE TO do the tasks the game wants you to before time runs out. It just collapses the possibility space. It'd be a great rogue like though. 030
Robin Enrico @robinhoodie.bsky.social · 20/08/2026Mods asleep so like, looks like my phone is too old to running the dating apps. Not that I've gone on a date in probably 10 years now. Message received. I got everything I deserved. 020
Robin Enrico @robinhoodie.bsky.social · 16/08/2026Metroid Dread (NSW) High highs and low lows. Most interesting for how hard it pushes to get out of the shadow of Super Metroid. Samus as acrobatic glass cannon instead of tank. A map you have to scour to find edges to push on. The delay on getting the morph ball being such a strong opening shake up. 100

Robin Enrico @robinhoodie.bsky.social · 09/08/2026Street Fighter V (PS4) A slow, stiff, un-expressive, and visually dull if not ugly fighter. You better learn the exact timing on those combos in the tutorial mode because hitting them and ripping off a 3rd of a health bar seems to be the main mode of play. Street Fighter made into Killer Instinct. 100
Robin Enrico @robinhoodie.bsky.social · 07/08/2026Titanfall 2 (XBO) As sloppy as the platforming can get, and as much as the combat can be a shooting gallery. Dang if everything your doing isn't fun and flavored deliciously. The short campaign leaves you wanting more, but also feels like a gift in the endless multiplayer sludge era we live in. 140
