This isn't the game you think it is. It's The Looker (🔊 SOUND ON for a genius maze puzzle)

If you loved The Witness you'll love this. Proper laughs and affectionate parody.

RACCOIN is a coin-pusher roguelike and that's me hooked on another one then.

Metal Slug is still the g.o.a.t. run 'n 'gunner. The game I've completed the most times in my life. Never gets old.

I loved Children of the Sun. I’m not into dark games at the mo, but COTS’s scuzzy, buzzing commitment to it all - with the brilliant bullet-bending conceit - makes it totally thrilling. A good length and great finale level too, nails the landing.

Lonely Mountains Downhill is magic. Looks, sounds, feels so great that the inevitable falling down is ok, cos you’re outside in glorious fresh air. All that lovely slapstick & enjoyable perseverance too.

I wish Jackbox Games would make a You Don’t Know Jack UK sequel and get Paul Kaye back as Jack.

Still one of the most satisfying game mechanics ever, from The Unfinished Swan

#Resogun is still one of the fittest, greatest games ever made.

The iRacing Arcade demo totally sold me on it. Feels like the same proper handling of Circuit Superstars. Which is good, because Circuit Superstars rules.

Turnip Mountain is ace. Donkey Kong: King of Swing feels, but evolved. The most fun I've had with a demo this #SteamNextFest

Extremely rare b-roll footage of an Electronics Boutique in late 1994 or early 1995. Enjoy it!

I found this among 40TB of files from Digital Pictures' archive.

I've never felt so left out from the almost universal love for a game as I do with Hades ☹️ I can see it's excellent in so many ways. I know that many people can't be wrong. But I've tried it about 5 times now and each time feel nothing that has me think 'this is about to click' 😐 Good dog, though.

It's taken about 5 minutes of playing #Megabonk to understand Vedinad has absolutely nailed it. Super impressive

Very much enjoying making a little progress in Myst. Finally plugging a big gap in my knowledge of gaming's big-hitters. The lovely look and sound of the sea makes me kind of long for VR too...

I feel like the thing I always find myself thinking when ppl are talking about "oh the gaming audience is awful" is that, like... i'm not sure i believe that so much as I believe that any unmoderated space will inevitably surface the most toxic people (who drive away more-reasonable ones)
