This week on the podcast I checked out Keeper, the newest game from legendary game developers, Double Fine.
The game is absolutely gorgeous but its gameplay was a bit of a miss for me.

It is a stunning game, every frame feels like a surrealist oil painting.

I love Double Fine but their newest game Keeper was almost not a 'keeper' for me.

I played about 5 hours of Wander Stars by @papercastlegames.com whilst travelling yesterday.
I am loving it so far, the art style and story are *chef's kiss*.
Also, there is a shredded Capybara- game of the year material?

I'm happy to say that I have played a couple more hours of Keeper and have warmed up to it.
The puzzles and story have become more interesting and I just finished one section with, let's say 'cotton candy', that felt amazing!
Looking forward to playing more and finishing it!

I started Keeper this evening. My early impressions are that it is a gorgeous game, almost like an oil painting come to life.
I like the Twig and Lighthouse duo- looking forward to seeing how their bond grows.
Gameplay is a bit 'meh' so far- it is very walking sim at the minute.

Want something spooky to play on Halloween?
Then why not play Pumpkin Jack? It's a Halloween themed 3D platformer about a pumpkin headed villain who leads the Devil's attack on the Earth.

Hades 2 is an excellent game.
If Hades was @supergiantgames.bsky.social masterpiece, this sequel is the refinement of everything that made it special.
Not flawless (those boss fights do get repetitive), but it’s damn close.

Just dropped my first proper YouTube review!
It’s all about @supergiantgames.bsky.social’s incredible Hades II — easily one of the best games I’ve played this year.
But here’s the big question…
Is it actually better than the original, one of my all-time favourites ?
