The month in games | January:
Transistor
Dark Souls Remastered
Titanfall 2
Venba
And a quick Richard playthrough on Hotline Miami. February will be lots of Sonic Frontiers until it's complete / I go insane.

I mean... you can google the key findings and studies saying that the majority of people report an increase in productivity, but don't let facts get in the way of your address.
When people have a platform and an audience, they can pull out some real "source: trust me bro" energy.

So maybe I played through the whole thing over one or two long sessions yesterday. Not 200%, but I did deal with Shaft/Dracula. Everything speeds up a lot with Shield Rod shenanigans.

Plays the Jackbox game "Drawful" once. Thinks about how to remove most of the social value in favour of an "AI judge". Misses the point entirely.

So people told me about a hard mode final boss on Sonic Frontiers, and that I could just reload my save and change the difficulty midgame.
And yeah, that was a nice extra. Not too insane but definitely a step up if you don’t play a lot of vertical shooters.

Sony has patented the idea of AI-generated podcasts hosted by characters from its games.
The idea would see players getting their own bespoke podcasts on their console, telling them what's new, hosted by the characters of the games they've been playing.

I feel like 95% of that Orbitals trailer is "it's like one of my Japanese animes!", whilst trying not to think about the fact that it's another puzzle platformer. If you like that kind of gameplay, awesome... but aesthetics are carrying it a *lot*.

@mwjimmy.bsky.social I think you shared some of the Frontiers music a while back as I recognised some bits. I've had to go back and update my 2022 YouTube game music playlist!
All of my favourite music from the game was in the cyberspace levels, but early contenders for favourites would be 1-4 (Genshi) and 2-4 (Hype Street):

Rolled credits on Sonic Frontiers! (the PS5 says 20 or 21hrs)
It's such a strange game. Genuine awesome bits (cyberspace levels, parrying kaiju) and the heart hunting was okay in theory, but the amount of hearts to collect sometimes made me die inside. Big "just get to the next cool moment" energy.

updated to “okay we’re just doing Ikaruga now”, not that I’m complaining.
Sonic Frontiers update: okay we’re just doing straight up radio towers now. I preferred the whole “parrying kaiju as Super Sonic” bits.

Also, those giant kaiju boss battles as Super Sonic? They've been pretty awesome (only done two so far.) Fun gameplay ideas and nice cinematic "parry then stomp" moments.
Picked up Sonic Frontiers in a sale for lols; my first games purchase of '26. It was going to be that or Stranger of Paradise, but I decided Stranger can wait (and I have loads of RPGs and Soulslikes as it is.)
I'm not expecting a masterpiece - but, like, I'm an apologist for Sonic Adventure ffs 🙃
