Aight, I'm 20-ish hours in; trying to beat Traitor Lord - very annoying. The ground pound move feels very cheap. Anyone got any charm recommendations? Also, I can't lie, I have no idea what's actually going on in this game. Still enjoying it though. #hollowknight #gamesky

Neither Hi-Fi Rush or Granblue Fantasy: Relink on sale. What did I do to deserve this? But I might pick up UFO 50 and Project Wingman (or something completely different) What games are you guys buying in the sale?

Ok, Father John Misty's new album, Mahashmashana, might actually be his best (I think I've said that with each new album tbf). But, man, this is so good - even more excited to see him in April next year! 😩

Playing Roboquest right now - man, it's so good and I feel like more people should talk about it. Very fun and addictive roguelite. Borderlands meets Ultrakill. Also the music is great - especially in those purple/corrupted levels! If anyone wants to do co-op, let me know. #gamesky #games #gaming

At least in other news, I've found that Balatro is every bit as good as I was led to believe. So that's nice. Also, the animations and card effects are so satisfying. If you need something to take your mind off the world around you, this game can do that! #gamesky #gaming

Ødegaard is back in training. But also I think his knees are the kneeingest knees to have ever kneed. Have any knees ever kneed harder than these knees? I seriously doubt it. This is like the sequel to knees - the kneequel, if you will. #arsenal #coyg

I don't watch much anime, but most of the movies I've seen aren't on the list (and also Frieren, Vinland Saga and Chainsaw Man - and Cyberpunk if that counts) A bunch of the games are on my list though - Breath of Fire, SMT, Persona, Chrono Trigger, Dragon Quest etc

God of War, 2005 Only took two evenings. Really enjoyable, apart from the annoying hades section. Difficulty can be a bit strange; combat can feel a bit RNG with how enemies fight you. Easy to see why more were made. 8/10 Holds up well for a game made almost 20 years ago. #gamesky

Post a game that you wish was playable on modern consoles: Ok, and while you're at it - make Mega Man Legends 3 Apart from the tank-like controls in 1, this game (and its sequels) hold up so well. In many ways it feels like a precursor to BotW and TotK (no, I will not explain)

Just wishlisted #sushiben from @dmawdev.bsky.social - looks like such a fun game! Slice-of-life adventure in a small town, quirky cast of characters, lots of mini-games and a sushi bar in need of saving. In VR and non-VR. Q4 2024

14 hours and I've finished Inscryption. What a game! The peaks and troughs of feats and failures made this deck-builder a great experience from start to end. Act 1 is still the peak IMO, but 2 & 3 are very enjoyable and the story is enigmatic and mesmerising. 8/10 #gamesky #gamereview

Inscryption keyart, featuring a number of playing cards, two totems and a masked figure with crazy eyes.

From the description:
Inscryption is an inky black card-based odyssey that blends the deckbuilding roguelike, escape-room style puzzles, and psychological horror into a blood-laced smoothie. Darker still are the secrets inscrybed upon the cards...

An event from the game being depicted where a card is sacrificed (and so removed from your deck). One of the many events that helps you refine your deck and incorporate different tactics.

The map in Inscryption. This is how you come across battles and events of various kinds. All told, there are over two dozen events to participate in as you progress - including buffing cards, creating totems (with passive abilities) and trading.

A card battle in Inscryption. The player holds four cards in their hand, including a wolf card. To their right are two piles of cards. Ahead of the player is a scale - which shows who the battle is favouring - and eyes of the opposing player whose body is wreathed in darkness. The opponent has played two cards and has a totem on their side.

if you see this, quote with your top five on repeat songs! had to edit because i'm on my computer - still can't get it quite to look right. Does feel a bit outdated as I'm already listening to quite different music. 'Thy Slaughter' goes hard, everyone should listen to the full album

▶️ Now playing: Inscryption, 2021, Daniel Mullins Games A roguelike deck-builder. Somehow I've managed to avoid all spoilers for this one. A lot of its design elements do appeal, so I'm not sure why it's taken me just over three years to get around to playing it #gamesky #games #gaming #steam

The keyart for the game Inscryption. Featruring the title, two totems (a crow and a rat), five tarot-style cards (for three of which it is clear that they feature animals - a stoat, a mantis and a red wolf) and a kind of uncanny/monstrous face in the middle.

Arco is a fantastic game and worth picking up right now. The fantasy-mesoamerican/frontier setting mixed with a memorable cast of characters, a meaningful story, a haunting soundtrack and in-depth combat systems make this one of my favourite games this year. 9/10 #gamesky #gamereview #games

Arco's keyart - featuring one of the protagnists, Tizo, and his llama mount. Tizo is wearing a wide sombrero and a red poncho -- his llama is white and has a saddle. The two of them are standing on a dirt road in a rocky central american desert. A wide blue sky hangs over them with a large cloud rising from the horizon. There's a small blue house at the roadside - the only sign of civilisation in this entire vista.

A screenshot from the game Arco. It's depicting the turn-based combat in the game. One character is getting ready to run while an enemy is readying to shoot. The other character is getting ready to close the gap on another enemy and attack it while the enemy is idle.

The area they're in is a bandit camp. There are tents and a campfire present - with boxes and chests to contain the bandits' things. The camp is situated in a desert valley and there are cactuses dotted around the setting.

A screenshot from the game Arco. This depicts a skill-tree for the character Tizo. The character is unlocking an ability called 'Shotgun Arrows II' which allows the character to shoot three arrows in a cone of fire.

The character has five other abilities unlocked, and, based on the screenshot, can unlock at least nine more.

A screenshot from the game Arco. This depicts an indigenous mesoamerican village with a windmill in the background and a pastoral farm in the foreground.

The character Tizo is visiting this village on his llama. In addition to Tizo, there are many villagers present also.

The land is verdant and there are rolling hills behind the village, but an onimous gray sky appears to be moving in.
