    Marvel's Midnight Suns

    FOMO got the best of me on this one and I ordered it. It's been high on my list and reviews are looking pretty good. Seems to be a mashup of a lot of various games built on a foundation of XCOM. There's some deckbuilding mechanics as well as significant Persona/BioWare like party relationships...

    V Rising (Valheim with Vampires)

    Snagged V Rising last night after some good press and watching some streams. It's basically a survival action and building game similar to Valheim. Warning it is in Early Access for at least another year, but seems very polished and complete thus far. Not sure if anyone else has it, but if...

    Phantom Abyss (Indiana Jones meets Mirror's Edge)

    Steam: https://store.steampowered.com/app/989440/Phantom_Abyss/?curator_clanid=6638525 Not sure if my comparison is accurate, but basically this is an Early Access game where you are platforming in first person through dangerous tombs and other such places to loot for treasure. Gameplay is...

    Pac-Man 99

    Surprised there is no Pac-Man 99 thread. This thing dropped unbeknownst to me yesterday and I have honestly been having a good time. Free if you have the Nintendo online service, but Bamco is asking for quite a bit to unlock the extra game types and skins. Not sure the money is necessary as the...

    Loop Hero

    Saw this popup on my Steam feed today and decided to jump at it. Cheap and interesting, it's a very low-fi roguelike with little player interaction as your "hero" loops around a random track and automatically combats monsters along the way. Cards drop (they call them cards, but I think they are...

    Valheim: Real Deal or Flavour of the Week?

    So everyone and their dog seems to be playing this thing and I'm tempted to try it, even though I sort of hate survival/building games. I'm also not sure I want to jump on board an Early Access game. Anyone playing this thing? The biggest draw for me are pundits saying it has a real World of...

    Bugsnax

    So, um... am I the only weirdo playing this one? Lol. It was cheap on Epic and I heard quite a bit of stuff about it... sort of a Pokemon Snap meets "The Fly". The story has definitely taken a dark turn early on and it's a neat little game. I don't expect it to last too long with the budget...

    Xbox / PC / Ultimate Game Pass Ownership

    Ultimately I think that Microsoft's console is a necessity to bridge the gap for people without gaming PCs or that want the convenience of a console, but it's not their end-goal. Having everyone on Game Pass is. As such, I was wondering how many people here are paying for some form of Game Pass?

    Inertial Drift

    Found this gem on Steam today while I was considering Hotshot Racing and after reading some reviews, decided to get this instead. Sort of a Ridge Racer like game where you're making impossible drifts through all the corners. The catch is that on controller, the right stick controls the drift...

    i7 4770k to AMD/Intel (Build Options Inside)

    Hey, I removed my last post after I did some research and have broken it down to four potential options. Prices are Canadian (and thus garbage) and are best bang-for-buck builds I think I was able to create. If you have any suggestions or changes, please let me know. Listed in no particular...

    SnowRunner (Spintires/MudRunner "Sequel")

    I admit I have no history with the other games so don't know how much content is duplicated, but I picked SnowRunner up yesterday (last day to use my aging Epic holiday coupon) and I'm finding it oddly satisfying. Someone needs to tell me why I spent hours the last couple of days driving trucks...

    Gears Tactics - (Steam and Game Pass)

    It's been a great week for tactical games (if you like that sort of thing). If XCOM: Chimera Squad was too light and colourful for you though, Microsoft has you covered with Gears Tactics. Included with PC Game Pass, I installed it and played through the tutorial. This thing is going to be...

    XCOM: Chimera Squad

    Heard about this on a podcast I was listening to and was pleasantly surprised. I had no idea this was a thing. Seems to be more of a budget-title with what appears to be XCOM combat with some 'hero' abilities but likely less base-building. More importantly, it's 50% off ($10USD) if purchased...
