I managed to complete one round in Monstrum . I nearly quit a couple times, because wow this game can be frustrating. But I made it through in the end, once I got a better idea of where certain items would be and how the monsters vibe. I'm kind of glad I stuck with it for a couple days; it made escaping that much more satisfying.

The Spectrum Retreat seemed intriguing, so I gave it a go. It was not quite what I was expecting, and I'm not sure I really liked it. The set up was a little odd, in my opinion, where you would have a bit of story and then a block of Portal-like puzzles, sans the humor. The puzzles weren't really all that difficult, but they seemed disjointed from the story, which in itself was vague and left me with a lot of questions. I guess I shouldn't have expected much for a game built around puzzles, but still.

Also played through The Vanishing of Ethan Carter Redux. I gotta say, the story is not at all what I expected, in a good way, although I'm not sure I'm a fan of the ending. Walking between areas was a little tedious, but the scenery was absolutely beautiful, and the sprint speed was a lot better that most walking sims I've played. It kind of reminds me of What Remains of Edith Finch or Dear Esther, both of which I also enjoyed. I think I might play this again sometime just to take screenshots.

I'm not sure what game I'll be playing next, but Diablo 4's Season 5 is coming up next week, so I'll probably dip back into GamePass to see what's on there.

I didn’t know they redid Ethan Carter! The original release used photogrammetry and was GORGEOUS, was one of my favorite walking sims

I’m going between Stardew Valley and Coral Island. The latter especially because of the last update with dates/hangouts.

Rotwood, early access roguelite beat em up.

I played a bit of a closed beta I’m not really allowed to discuss in detail, but I had a blast! Looking forward to the full release.

Also got part way through episode 2 of Walking Dead, I forgot so much of this story. Handing out 4 pieces of food to 10 people (well, 2 to 8 since the kids were guaranteed) isn’t easy 🥲

And story time: My partner and I were down 146 to 149 in Destiny 2 crucible. We were separated and each crouching with glaives so they wouldn’t see us on radar.
I waited around a corner and filled someone with stab holes while she simultaneously killed some guardian with a sword (which kill in one swipe), since we were holding 2 zones it gave us the 4 points to steal the win! Glaives are so much fun in pvp

Camping sounds fun, I’m jealous!

Roboquest! An absolutely delightful high-speed rouge-lite first person. It feels very Borderlands-y, in both aesthetic and gunplay. The weapons include deagles, revolvers, assault rifles, machine guns, crossbows, grenades, (dual) chainsaws, power fists, Iron Man palms, shuriken, flamethrowers, and more! It’s packed to the folks with secrets, challenges, and skill expression. Tons of fun, like, 25$ on Steam, two player co-op with matchmaking, go buy it.

Still Rocket League. Can’t shake it for some quick challenges in ~10 minute increments. I really wish I could either switch over to some SCUMMVM retro stuff, or a semi-casual fantasy adventure, but in ~10 minute doses.

I’ve considered Witcher 3, but it looks too time-intensive for a busy dad. I’m hoping for something that might need a few hours to get started, but then you can pick up & make actual progress in under 15 minutes.

Anyone have recommendations?

Maybe some CRPGs? Like Shadowrun Returns. Missions will be longer than 10 minutes but you can save it any time once it’s your turn.

I would actually say Witcher 3 is good for that. There’s like 100 smaller quests you can do in 5-10 minutes each. Some of the main storyline quests (which are marked as such) might take 20 or 30 minutes when you’re ready for them. It also has imo one of the best quest tracking systems I’ve seen, as well as best inventory system (sorting, yay) so you don’t have to remember everything after time away from playing.

Dark Souls games can also be played that way - from one bonfire (checkpoint) to the next is usually around 5 to 10 minutes depending on how you play.

Still trying out new games from the ‘Pixels with Porpoise’ pack I bought on Humble Bundle a week ago. (So far my faves are Children of Morta and Towerfall Ascension.) I highly recommend it if you like pixel-art based games and fantasy.

And lots of PinballFX.

Towerfall was one of our favorites in college, so much fun if you can get a full game! Fuck brambles 😤
