Some recent videogames posts from the community.
🎮 Astrobot is an absolute joy to play and just what I needed this wet weekend. It’s made me laugh and go “oh wow” at the graphics and the scenarios they set up. Goes toe to toe with any 3D Mario game imo. It’s a classic in the making.
🎮 Chants Of Sennaar (2023) - ★★★★☆
Beautiful visuals, distinctive art style, and gameplay I would describe as “Heaven’s Vault lite”, there a bunch to love about Chants. It’s a small, well made game, and currently 30% off on Steam.
From now on you can drive, er fly, er float through space in a truck. Whatever. Looks like unobtrusive fun! 🎮
🎮 Balatro Coming To Apple Arcade
Perfect phone game. Very excited to finally try this out.
stunned that Apple have pulled off bagging an actual decent, very desirable exclusive for the service after recent reports.
russbrock.micro.blogI created my witch with purple hair and played the first few minutes of Hogwarts Legacy. Nice game! Great atmosphere from the very first minute. 🎮
I keep thinking about getting into gaming again and this game looks right up my alley. Or maybe I’ll dive back into WoW…
When your technician says has anyone see the PS5 controllers at work I fear the worst… lets hope they are just misplaced 🎮
🕹️ Ms. Pac-Man 43,320
🕹️ Gyruss 64,300
Trio is a real fun little game. 🎮
Grandia never came to the US on Saturn, and I missed out on the PS1 version. Picked up the modern rerelease and finally playing a classic JRPG I missed out on! 🎮
Sega Saturn phase has struck again 🎮
Embracer boss says ‘volatile’ PC and console business is the ‘bad guy’ 🎮
As pointed out in the article, it couldn’t possibly be the guy responsible for major restructuring and mass layoffs.
Clearing our our slightly leaky “office” (aka dump room for old junk) so we can eventually renovate it.
I have soooo much old games stuff 🤦♂️
I need to figure out what I actually want to do with all this stuff… 🎮
🎮 I played Dorfromantik for four hours last night. The game is so good that I lost track of time. After 25,000 points, I was tired and should have stopped to continue another day. Mistakes were made.

🎮 This Playdate Pizza Cover is just too cute. Had to order it. 🍕

It’s finally here! The announcement video for Splatoon 3’s biggest fest, the “Grand Fest,” just dropped! Could this be the last fest that decides the direction for the next Splatoon, like they did in Splatoon 2?
🎮
🕹️ Diablo IV update:
Really enjoying my storm werewolves.
I’m not level 100 yet (82) and they have 20/5 ranks and are doing over a million in damage. I can one-shot almost anything but Uber-bosses.
My Deer Friend Nokotan / Shikanoko Nokonoko Koshitantan - 『しかのこのこのここしたんたん』のツノゲーム作ってみました。 「ぬんっ！」と叫びつつ画面をタップし、「しかのこ」で止めてあげてください🎮
Some Good news - Tango Gameworks snatched up by Krafton. These folks absolutely deserve to be working and creating awesome games. 🎮
🎮 Just finished Thank Goodness You’re Here. Wanted to get it finished this weekend. Love games that are shorter arty experiences like this. It’s also properly funny as well. Belly laughs abound. Reminds me of home in some good and bad ways! 😂
trying this out
hello, my name’s barquq and i’m a Black, Grey-A writer, designer, and music maker. I primarily like to write about media, particularly video games 🎮, as well as how I deal with my ADHD, on my blog taniyn.quest.
feel free to drop tips on how to get into micro.blog - thanks y’all :)
Go ahead and rerelease Doom 100 times, I’ll play through it every time 🎮
🎮 The latest DF Direct Weekly #174 is fire 🔥 Especially enjoyed the discussion about bespoke console tech and its intersection with PC. Spoiler - they haven’t fully converged. TIL current gen consoles have a dedicated hardware decompression unit.
This game was my world for the last 2.5 years. I still can’t believe we’ve finally launched 🎮
Nintendo should make an Animal Crossing/Disney Dreamlight Valley type game that is Zelda/Hyrule themed. 🎮
On the other hand, this is super cute! Can’t wait for Echoes Of Wisdom! 🎮
