🚀 Minishoot Adventures 🚀 is in the absolute top-tier of Metroidvanias. The pace of progression, secrets, puzzles etc. is perfectly pitched. Also, the shooting feels like proper fireworks in your brain

⚽️ Sensible Soccer ⚽️ is still more fun than FIFA / EA FC and Pro Evo / eFootball

Keep moving, don't get hit.

Super Hexagon by @terrycavanaghgames.com absolutely slaps. Especially with @chipzel.bsky.social's soundtrack.

If you grew up playing and loving ⚽️ football ⚽️ and the #WorldCup then Despelote is a game for you. It's a nostalgic, uniquely great-looking narrative-kickabout.

This isn't the game you think it is. It's The Looker (🔊 SOUND ON for a genius maze puzzle)

If you loved The Witness you'll love this. Proper laughs and affectionate parody.

RACCOIN is a coin-pusher roguelike and that's me hooked on another one then.

Metal Slug is still the g.o.a.t. run 'n 'gunner. The game I've completed the most times in my life. Never gets old.

I loved Children of the Sun. I’m not into dark games at the mo, but COTS’s scuzzy, buzzing commitment to it all - with the brilliant bullet-bending conceit - makes it totally thrilling. A good length and great finale level too, nails the landing.

Lonely Mountains Downhill is magic. Looks, sounds, feels so great that the inevitable falling down is ok, cos you’re outside in glorious fresh air. All that lovely slapstick & enjoyable perseverance too.

I wish Jackbox Games would make a You Don’t Know Jack UK sequel and get Paul Kaye back as Jack.

Still one of the most satisfying game mechanics ever, from The Unfinished Swan

#Resogun is still one of the fittest, greatest games ever made.

I must get to #Returnal at some point

The iRacing Arcade demo totally sold me on it. Feels like the same proper handling of Circuit Superstars. Which is good, because Circuit Superstars rules.

Turnip Mountain is ace. Donkey Kong: King of Swing feels, but evolved. The most fun I've had with a demo this #SteamNextFest

It's taken about 5 minutes of playing #Megabonk to understand Vedinad has absolutely nailed it. Super impressive

Very much enjoying making a little progress in Myst. Finally plugging a big gap in my knowledge of gaming's big-hitters. The lovely look and sound of the sea makes me kind of long for VR too...

The people of planet Blip might be deluding themselves a tiny bit, based on my experience of boring a colleague :-)

I'm back at that point in Vampire Survivors (@vampire.poncle.games) where you start seeing gems when you close your eyes :-) Very much enjoying getting hooked again this week, the campaign modes are great.
