I’m a few hours into Dredge – the first game from indie studio Black Salt Games, from Christchurch NZ.
The gameplay loop and various tensions (time, materials, fishing/dollars, upgrades, story quests, day vs night) feel very well balanced so far.

I’ve played through the Wo Long demo a few times now, which means I like it a lot.
As someone who’s never played Nioh the systems set-up is new to me, but I’ve found the morale/spirit interplay to be intriguing and super engaging. Why can’t I stop thinking about this game?

It makes me feel homesick to see all these locations highlighted in such a caring way. Time to reinstall.

2023 is proving to be a bananas year for games. With so many highly-anticipated releases lined up, I’m starting to feel overwhelmed trying to keep track of everything. So here’s my personal list of ten eleven upcoming games I’ll be playing, with release dates included to keep my brain from overheating.
Well, that didn’t take long, and I’m already nearly half way through a New Game+ replay already.
Hi-Fi RUSH is an absolute blast to play, and I feel like I’m finally mastering the rhythm based combat as I replay levels and continue to buy upgrades and new combos.
I bought Celeste in 2018, but for some insane reason I never finished it. I played up to the Mr Oshiro escape and then life* “got in the way” I guess?
An action RPG dungeon crawler, with a focus on form switching and ability unlocks. The game really kicks into gear when you earn the ability to combine abilities from other forms into any existing form, giving you the power to remix your character at will.
