Hoping to use Bluesky to finally air all my gaming opinions so my friends don't have to bear the brunt of them. I play games from each of the 3 console manufacturers and many third party and indie titles too. I'll try to make a thread of my main interests if that's a thing on Bluesky...
It's time to start the next game in my entire #TombRaider series playthrough, Tomb Raider IV: The Last Revelation!!
I'm very excited to finally check this one out as I'm not sure I ever even touched it as a kid before and I've heard good things about it!!

I've now finished #TombRaider III and am 3/12 games through my entire series playthrough!! Check out my review now!
"Despite the numerous problems I had with Tomb Raider III I’d generally say it was a good time, just one with far too many annoyances along the way."

Let's try to finish Tomb Raider 3! I'm now a little ways into the penultimate level as I continue trying to play through the entire #TombRaider franchise before the new games come out!
Also, possibly making use of the new Bluesky live feature? Let me know if it's working!

Can we finish Tomb Raider 3 today? Only 3 levels remain and a couple hours in which to try!!
This is continuing my entire series play through in the run up to #TombRaider #LegacyOfAtlantis later this year so completing TR3 today would be a big step towards that!

My most anticipated games of 2026 (confirmed titles only)!
Very exciting list for me, think this could be one of the greatest years for me personally at least, especially once the unannounced games are revealed!

Here's my Games of the Year for 2025! I'll go into a little detail of each one in this thread but there are some caveats like a couple of these games I haven't finished yet so my opinion could change when I do.
I'll also do some honourable mentions because this year was too good to not do that!

I'll likely also discuss how aspects of the game will teach me how to make my own indie title! #GameDev

This year I have started a replay of the entire Tomb Raider series in order to get a full understanding of the games and how they've progressed to help me make my own game that's in development and taking inspiration from the early games in the series.
What great timing! #LegacyOfAtlantis #Catalyst

Happy Metroid Prime 4: Beyond launch day!!
Just played the first couple hours and really, really loving it so far. The graphics are gorgeous, the gameplay is pure Metroid Prime and the music is incredible!

That's the Metroid Prime Trilogy replayed this year in preparation for Metroid Prime 4: Beyond when it launches next week!
I don't remember the last time I was this excited for a new game... Finally, 18 years of waiting will come to an end!!

I placed my votes for The Game Awards! Didn't vote in categories I hadn't played any games in/ couldn't comment on (Accessibility and Impact). I think Clair Obscur is going to sweep nearly every category it's nominated for... but not sure how I feel about it being in the Indie categories

With just about 4 weeks to go until Metroid Prime 4 releases I am giving up on a Switch/ Switch 2 release for Prime 2+3...
So instead I had to bust out the Wiimote and Metroid Prime Trilogy on Wii!!

Just tried out Sands of Hope and really dug it! It's a very chill little puzzler where you manipulate blocks to solve puzzles with a gorgeous aesthetic! Seems nice and open with loads of optional sections too!

I finally achieved full 100% completion in Super Mario Odyssey!!
Sometimes going for 100% can make me like a game less (looking at you 3D World!) but Odyssey's definitely just made me appreciate the game even more!
Best Mario game ever!!
Now bring on Donkey Kong Bananza!
