Pretty good sale on this game right now. Salamander 3 is a nice bit of fun, I like that little burst mechanic. I'm not sure why the collection lacks Gradius IV and only has arcade games, but it's still a nice bundle.

My friend really got into Lego City Undercover, so then I did, so then my wife did. Apparently this is our year for it? I've never been into Lego, so this has been quite a nice surprise for me. :)

I got the chance to play Cairn early too, and I absolutely loved it, do not skip this one.
I can't put it better than Jacob, but I'll also say Cairn really doesn't play like anything else. You control each limb independently as you climb a mountain, and the tension this creates is unmatched.

Cairn embargo is up and I am so pleased to say the game is a triumph. Gorgeous, nerve-wracking, and I don't think I've ever heard a vocal performance like the one given by the protagonist. Just a coiled spring of determination and anger. Remarkable.

Rolled credits on TR-49. Had such a good time with it. Some very clever puzzles that were rewarding to solve.
Really recommended.

Playing TR-49, I'm wondering if its author(s) have read certain books, like say: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mimesis...

A lot of words are gonna be written this year about this brilliant game and I'm puzzled if that's some kind of irony.

I wanted to know who designed an old board game I loved. I found out he made over fifty games he was never credited for, in a career spanning more than three decades.

I could have written 10k words on this game. It's remarkable. It's everything you want and need from a city-builder, but also there's transport tycoon and sid meier's colonization stuff in there as well, and even in EA it's almost perfect
Whiskerwood is already one of the finest city-builders Luke has ever played:
