This reminds me that I still haven’t completed Picross S. It’s easily the best Picross installment yet.
Mega Picross is a great way to let you approach finished levels with a different perspective. Co-op is genuinely fantastic for allowing the backseat player to just have their own cursor so they don’t have to just breathe down the other person’s neck pointing out tips.
is there a Hot Lava mode in TF2?
I think not
(I actually don’t know but my impression of the map design is “probably not”)
Chris Kohler wrote a pretty good book on Final Fantasy V so I started replaying that, and I’m enjoying it more than ever

I thought Mega Picross was terrible… but there’s a co-op mode??? Hmmm might need to come back to it
I just played Paratopic. Much of what it has to offer is atmosphere. It’s less than an hour long, and slow-moving in places. I found myself ending up at dead ends at times and having to (very slowly) walk back to the correct path, which made the game drag a little. Sound is well done, and I don’t mind the way the sparse story jumps around but never becomes entirely coherent.
For some reason, driving (or riding in a car) at dusk is something that I think about often, even though I don’t always find it especially noteworthy while doing it. A fair amount of this game is dedicated to just that.
How good do I think this game is? I can’t decide.

I’m pretty keen on Mega Picross modes, they at least require a bit of brain power.
I don’t remember if any of the NP games have co-op, but their multiplayer modes surprising work pretty well. I suspect there’s co-op in one of them at least?
It sounds fun! How do you split it up @ferrets ? Like one person does rows and the other does columns?

more like, I do 90% of the puzzle and the other person stakes their claim while they can
but now that you mention it, that’s a much better way of going about it

I have a bad habit of making every game I play competitive, because without someone to compare to I lose a lot of drive to do my best

taking a break from Castlevania Symphony of the Night: I’ve been playing a TON of Resident Evil 6 lately. Earlier last year I got hard into it and did Leon’s whole campaign in about a day and a half. I stopped abruptly afterwards because I couldn’t figure out how to make Chris work for me and got wrecked hard in Sherry’s campaign. Look, you give me the opportunity to play as a cute gal, and I’ll take that every chance I get.
Anyway, I returned to it as Chris. what a great game.
Somebody made a map randomizer for Metroid 1 last month, so I figured I’d give it a spin.
I’ve mapped the Brinstar it gave me, and it does not give me confidence in the generation algorithm:
Lots of dead ends (marked with X on the map) but no loops of any sort (boring). Also, that pit/trap in the original where you have to scale a wall to get out can now be anywhere (marked with squiggly lines).
More on the situation as it develops.

Not so much a game I played today, as reviews I am seeing everywhere, but it’s hilarious how we are supposed to care about Kratos and his son, considering the whole BIG REVEAL of the first God of War was that Kratos murdered his own wife and kid.

Just skimmed through some reviews of God of War and I have nothing against the game (as of yet), but dear lord, you could algorithmically generate majority of the drivel these people pass as reviews.

I heard the new GoW is the game of the generation. It’s supposedly really good. I don’t know if I buy it but we’ll see
I cannot possibly believe this
