Would you like some Ninja Gaiden Ragebound? There is an assist option if you don't want to do the default difficulty. I'm playing on normal mode though.
What are you currently playing?

If that's the 2D one from last year, I played the demo and found the platform + combat to be a bit much.
That's ok, I've never gelled with any NG game.
Thank y'all for the recommendations!
I've played System Shock (2) and Obra Dinn, love both. Not really familiar with the others, will look into them.
Of these I've only played Chants of Sennaar and liked it a lot. Haven't played the others. I have Undertale in my backlog and just never got around playing it.
I'll look into this one, thanks
About 56 minutes of that time was spent fighting or returning to the final boss. I still think Eigong was better, but it turned out closer than I expected, considering.
I won't say I'm not coming back to Silksong ever again, but I definitely feel like playing something else now.
I started Detroit: Become Human. I know it's an unpopular opinion to like David Cage's games, but I'm a fan; only about a half hour in, and I'm enjoying it. It's not so much a game as it is an experiences, and I'm on board. Seeing the choice tree and learning that my choices have weight is interesting to me; things can go very differently depending on the choices I make. The on-going problem is my lack of familiarity with the PS5 controls; the quick-time choices have me looking down at the controller. I have to read my options, then look down to see which option applies to which button, and it's a bit frustrating. I'll get more comfortable, I'm sure, but I'll probably be doing a lot of trophy cleanup once I get through this at least once.
Did one more quest, La Cage au Fou in Blood and Wine that I’d started and wanted to complete given it was like a dozen steps or something. I’ll save the rest for after completing the base game, although I also did a quick dlc contract involving peacocks which was fine enough.
I intended to get into the old FF collection, but am reserving it until after The Witcher 3. Too much time into it already to play musical games any longer, and so back into its clutches I go until my quest log is nothing but table scraps at the very least.

My brother is a fan of some of his games, but mainly this one.
Of all his games it is the best one. Conner and Hank are a fun duo, and the future aesthetic feels very well realized.
Was playing Mightreya last week, was really disappointed. Game is just hella basic, all it is is simon-says parrying and perfect dodging combat mixed with wonky as hell omni directional movement. Been also going through NJ2 black, bit by bit. Game is sick! Also played some Gravity Circuit, but My god... I am so bad at MMX style-platformers, lol. Game is fun though.
We are both from Detroit. Though he currently lives out in Dearborn.

I tried a demo of Mightreya and had similar thoughts, at best it feels like one of those games where watching someone who is really good at it could be entertaining, but playing it just felt bad. I do need to play Gravity Circuit, probably when I'm done with Kotama and the Academy Citadel.
Mouse PI for Hire is on sale. Been wanting to play it for a while, so maybe I'll grab it. From what I understand it isn't super long (HLTB says 15 hours) so I can probably fit it in around Mina the Hollower, though obviously starting tomorrow I'm not stopping Deltarune Chapter 5 until I've finished it.
Hell yes I did, as it was one of those quests I felt compelled to reload a save for. Not using spoons made sense on second thought. I enjoyed Hearts of Stone quite a bit but Blood and Wine even early on is taking the cake.
My first impressions of Mouse PI are less focused on the gameplay - it's your standard post-Doom-4 boomer-shooter type deal, you dash, you double jump, you kick, it all basically works, the rubberhose guns are amusing - and more on the story. Now, I'm not super familiar with film noir, so I can't talk about how it relates to the wider genre, but I have watched Who Framed Roger Rabbit and I'm aware of the implications of Toontown. I feel as though something similar is going on here: the unrest between the mice and shrews of Mouseburg, especially as depicted in the collectible newspapers, feels like more than just background noise. There's something allegorical going on there, and it leans into something similar I think to Eddie Valiant being noted as the most toon-friendly detective in LA in WFRR: the private detective as a force for positive social change, helping people where the police won't. Also definitely wasn't expecting allusions to the World War(s), nor for them to recur in the actual plot rather than just being a gag about the 'Quite Big Affair'.
Too early to tell exactly how it'll pan out in the wider story, but I'm interested in seeing where it goes.

Skitarii update for Darktide just dropped. Had a couple of quick games today and leveled the new character to 9. Very odd skill tree, very curious how build optimizations are going to go.
