TR-49, Inkle's attempt at a deduction-based puzzle game, is pretty neat:

Wow, had my best Sektori run yet. 18.1 million and 10th place overall for the Redeemer campaign. I'm almost ready to move on from the game now after nearly 80 hours, but I've really loved my time with it.

I ditched Windows for Linux (Fedora) last week, and I'm really happy with the switch.

I think this game is really neat. I'd recommend it as well.
Do you enjoy:
- Games like Tunic, The Witness, and Blue Prince?
- Outside-the-box puzzle thinking?
- Yelling "YOU'RE KIDDING ARRGHHH" at the screen when you realise the answer was in front of you the whole time?
Play STRANGE JIGSAWS right now thank you pls:

Type Help is fantastic, one for those who enjoy a good mystery deduction-based game. I played and finished this in a single five-hour sitting.

I think Act 3 is the weakest part, but I was so invested in Silksong overall that I reached the true ending with 100% completion. I'm not that fond of the first Hollow Knight, so this was a pleasant surprise. I guess Hades 2 is next.

Really enjoyed Silksong’s first two acts. Less so with Act 3 so far - there seems to be a greater focus on combat (over exploration) and I think it’s less interesting as a result.

Consume Me is out tomorrow.
I really liked how the game approached narrative design - it's Florence-like in a way, but more expansive. Up there as one of my personal favourites of the year, for sure.

Yeah, Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 is special. I've reached the final dungeon but I'm not ready for the game to end yet.

My colleague reviewed Blue Prince and gave it 5 stars. I've played it too and I agree with him - it is an incredible game, a masterpiece, and I don't think anything will top it for me this year.
Blue Prince is one of the best games ever made
Masterfully drafted.

Lots of really good stuff in Steam Next Fest. Can't wait to play more of Moves of the Diamond Hand, in particular.

I really enjoyed Keep Driving, an indie road-trip RPG that was easy to immerse myself in.

Spent the past few weeks playing and completing Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth on PC. Mixed feelings about the game itself (I'm not a fan of its 'more is more' approach), but the PC port is a lot better than Remake's. No mouse cursor support for menus is an oversight, though.
