A year ago I poured an ✨unreasonable✨ amount of energy into the question why ppl who play cozy games choose to game compared to those who don’t - the answer may surprise you! So pls enjoy this handy visual which includes all my findings 🤝.
It’s my pride and joy so I wanted to share it here too

Very much looking forward to this game! Looks like they pretty much kept the core gameplay from Returnal (which was FUN) - only thing I'm a tad sceptical about is the player character not being quite as nimble as Selene was, although he's fast. (Plus, I adored Selene, Rahul Kohli must be great tho)

Gerade wieder dran gedacht: hat jemand dramatische Sci-Fi Orgelmusik Empfehlungen?
The announcement of Housemarque's SAROS made me think a lot about Returnal this week (like I don't think about it at least twice a month) and brought back this song on repeat: open.spotify.com/intl-de/trac...

After their irrevocable and catastrophic downfall he returned and brought them to justice.
