Such an incredible list of games, as usual! 💜 This particular line brought a smile, because our worm game Word Worm is one of three! 😂

On steam: store.steampowered.com/app/3923280/...
Screenshot that says "There were also three games this year about Worms, I don't know what that means, but I'm sure it's culturally significant. "

The PlayStation Portal is ideal for singleplayer gamers looking to take some of their games on the go, but multiplayer games are mostly off the table for this slick Remote Play device. Some handy tips if you're thinking of getting one for a Christmas gift.

🥁 I’d describe Bits & Bops’ by @tempolab.games two main feels as ‘groove’ and ‘haha, what’ which is a compelling combination where humour is created by a kind of ‘rhythmic surprise’.

⭐ KIRBY AIR RIDERS is a single player dreamland, but its split screen multiplayer is too much and would benefit from being a tad more visually accessible.

🏛️ANNO 117: PAX ROMANA campaign: Slip on your sandals and grab your gladius for a trip to the Roman colonies.

Will you spend all day thinking about the Roman Empire? Probably not if you just play the campaign which despite some nice mechanics is very short.
