Obviously you’re more than entitled to play whatever you want, but here is the developer of Knight’s Path response when someone said they’d hope there would be some LGBTQ options for romance.
“We care about gaming and fun not modern agendas”

Wild that the first Fable reveal didn’t mention a character creator because that one lil detail would’ve prevented months of pointless discourse.

Incredibly well deserved! A little lull at the start but it just keeps building to great conclusion!
And in a world where billionaires and corporations want you to own nothing this game is full on this disc and playable start to finish with no download. That’s something all gamers need to support.

Ghost of Yōtei was the third best-selling game in the US on PS5 in 2025 (behind NBA 2K26 and Battlefield 6)

BREAKING: Ubisoft is canceling the Prince of Persia: Sands of Time remake and 5 other games (4 unannounced, 1 mobile). The company says it is also delaying 7 games (including an unannounced project believed to be a Black Flag remake) as part of a larger restructuring.

If the company that shipped Skull & Bones is telling you that they canceled a game for quality reasons, it's easy to assume that that game must've been pretty fucking bad.

Made some progress in Tomb Raider: Anniversary tonight.
No other series in the history of gaming makes my butt clench like early TR games wondering if I’m going to make a jump… or not. On the plus side by the time I’m done with this trilogy I’ll have buns of steel 🍑

Tomb Raider: Legend complete (4th game of 2026)! I’ve never played the LAU trilogy so I’m remedying that with the Steam Deck.
Some cool moments and a good story. Controls can be frustrating at times and the story ended pretty abruptly but I enjoyed my time with it. On to TR: Anniversary!

I was crushed when Wild got canceled. I really hope some version of that game gets released eventually. Such a cool concept!

With Code Vein 2 releasing soon I decided to try the first. This game was never really on my radar but it’s actually a quite good souls-like. Story is really unique. Only about 7ish hours into it so we’ll see how it goes. Fun so far!

Eriksholm complete!
2nd platinum and 3rd game of 2026 (55th platinum overall).
Fantastic little isometric stealth, puzzle game. Only took about 10 hours to complete. Great story and a great refresher from the huge RPGs that have been taking up all my time 😅
