I don’t play games as much as I used to, but I had a lot of fun recently with Carrion - you play an alien hive mind eating scientists and fighting security through an Area 51 style facility.
I played that on Game Pass, when it launched, and really liked it. Although some of the movement could be a bit frustrating, since you are just a blob of meat.
I recommend this game to anyone who has only played AAA games as a gateway drug to indie games.

I finished Baldur’s Gate 3, so i fell in the post-great-game melancholy. I reinstalled Hades and Stardew Valley, but ya know
I just started a nude dark urge run and it really changes the game up.
Did you play Larian´s Divinity: Original Sin II yet? It might ease your pain a lot and it´s on -70% right now.
I played the one, all the way to the big fight at the end, failed it and got too exhausted to reload and redo it… But it was a really good game though , it’s true! Is the 2 as good/better?
“The 2” is the best RPG I have ever played in my life. The combat system and the overall style of the game is famazing! I especially loved all the cheese.
I just finished Stray. I’m not really a cat person but it was actually really enjoyable. Turns out cats are great platformers!
I also finished Strange Horticulture yesterday. That was a pleasant surprise especially since it was set in the Lake District.
I’m now trying to decide between starting Baldur’s Gate 3 (I am not a fan of turn based combat), Immortality or The Talos Principle 2.
Baldurs Gate 3 still. 3rd run, this time Tactition. Next run on Honor. Still a banger.
I’m playing Assassin’s Creed Mirage. It’s a nice change from the gigantic 100 hour open world epics that the series makes now and it’s a very nice looking and sounding game. The story is fairly standard for AC games (although there’s no Animus/modern day storyline this time), and the gameplay feels like what AC1 would have been if they made it today. Overall I am enjoying it a lot. I haven’t been able to play video games for the past month because I’ve been recovering from a major surgery but this has been a nice game to start up now that I can play games again.
I love cult of the lamb I got it on my switch and I genuinely think it’s a perfect game for handheld
Cause you can easily pick it up and play it a little and set it down
But also engaging enough to sit down and play it on your TV
Plus the combination between rouge like and base building is honestly amazing
Against The Storm. It’s a surprisingly addictive game.
Started playing yesterday, I can agree. I just need to get used to playing slower. It’s so easy to put it on speed three and then suddenly I am falling behind and can’t deal with the issues anymore.
Playing through hades and now I get the hype. Super fucking fun
Playing through my backlog, and finally gathered enough courage to play and finish Soma, and now I’m going through the Turing Test since I felt in the mood for a Portal-like game and I finished the Entropy Center not long ago.
If you haven’t, give the Talos Principle a try. It scratches the same itch as Portal for me, although the tone is less whimsical, but equally bizarre.
Oh I completed that one a long time ago, I haven’t bought the second one yet.
Yeah, I’ve heard good things about the second one, so I’m doing the first one now. Finding the stars is truly insane sometimes.
I just finished Talos Principle 2 and what a ride! I love Turing Test too and would also suggest Spectrum Retreat to scratch that puzzling itch.
Ohh haven’t heard of Spectrum Retreat, I’ll take a look thanks :)
Top notch
INSIDE absolutely blew me away a few months ago, and I got a recommendation for Little Nightmares in a discussion about it. After about half an hour, I’ve gotta say, it’s properly weird and I wonder what’s it got in stock for me.
I’ve been playing the Mario RPG remake. I remember loving the game as the kid, but as I get to each part of the game I’m like “Damnit, I hate this level!”, and it happens over and over again and I’m like “wait, why do I like this game? I hate this game.”
With that said I’m still playing it because I’m almost done with it so I may as well finish it.
It’s easier than I remember, but I also played the original when I was like 10 years old, so maybe it used to be more difficult because I wasn’t as good at video games when I was 10.
I’m excited to finish it because I have an OLED Steam Deck on the way, and I’m trying to sort out what I’m going to play first. Any suggestions for controller friendly games that run well on the deck? I think Dave the Diver is near the top of that list. I’m not to keen on playing first person shooters with joysticks, that’s what my PC is for.
If you’re in the mood for something more story based, I just played Disco Elysium on my deck and it was incredible. I’m currently slow burning my way through BG3 on it which is also a good experience but it requires some fiddling to get it running nicely.
Just recently started playing rimworld and I’m super hooked. Trying to complete the game vanilla first then dive into modding
Just finished Full Void, a pixel graphics cinematic puzzle platformer in the style of Another World. Cool original soundtrack, nice style and animation, great atmosphere and world building despite no words.
2 hours long main story, cool indie project with great attention to detail. Well worth the money.
If you play it you will be surprised who it is dedicated to, as you can read at the end of the game.
I just finished Remnant 2, and started playing it again with a different class on my PS5, but have to stop cause I am traveling. I picked up Dragon Dogma on the deck and I hated it for the first 30 minutes, but I am into it now.
