I played through Anatomy yesterday. It was very creepy and I've never been so pleased to live in a small flat rather than a large house...

Yeah, I did the same actually. But it all came back pretty fast and after a couple of levels I jumped back to where I had left off. I just solved a level in the most unsatisfactory way possible: Hastily fixing a single last problem accumulated several others, and fixing those of course accumulated even more problems. Now that I finally got it all working the machine has gone from (somewhat) sleak and efficient to ridiculously wasteful. And that is almost more frustrating than a straight up failure!

I just unlocked the second part of the campaign (so to speak) and this game is bloody brilliant! The process of first learning to assemble smaller modules and then using them as parts in more and more complex solutions is fascinating. This is easily the best free form problem solving game I've ever played.

I finally finished Stephen's Sausage Roll yesterday. It took me about 30 hours and it was perfect. It would've been my favorite puzzle game ever if it wasn't for The Witness.

Aaaand I just beat it. Great game.

I've played a good chunk of this now and it is really good! Sad to see that it doesn't get more recognition.

It mostly depends on what type of game I'm playing. But I sometimes struggle with motion sickness while playing in first person, so when I get to choose I mostly go with the third person option.

Yes, I found it shortly after. Really enjoyed the feeling of getting lost though. After playing through Guacamelee last week (which was nothing but a hunt for question marks on the map), Axiom Verge feels like a salvation in that regard.

I've beaten three bosses and now I'm very stuck.

The latest game from my favourite Belgian duo Tale of Tales was released today and it's quite the thing. You play as an educated engineer, trapped as a housemaid to a ridiculously rich art collector. You clean his house once a week and from his well-protected penthouse you watch the world burn beneath without having any possibilty to interfere. Sunset makes me feel really exposed and powerless and it's just great. It uses similar story telling techniques as Gone Home but uses them to tell a far more sophisticated and nuanced story. And it lets you put your own mark on the story through your passive relationship to your employer! Have anyone else hade the chance play this? If so, what do you think?

I played through the single player campaign of Nidhogg in the lack of online opponents. It looses most of its tension while playing against the computer, but the combat is still bloody entertaining.

Just beat the game too and aside from some bummer puzzles I really liked it. The wiring puzzle made me really frustrated though. It felt out of place, as it was so much harder than anything else in the game.

I beat The Order 1886 earlier today and uuh... I liked it. I'm quite surprised actually. The shootouts tended to be quite dull but I liked the flow of the game. It was a nice and pretty action adventure to consume lazily and then forget about. And I don't think that's a bad thing per se (even though there are of course more worthwhile stuff to put your time into).

Now that I've sinked a few more hours into the game, I'd say that's probably true, yes

Oh, that's a bit disappointing. But whatever, it's a great game!

Hmm, I noticed that the map was altered but I thought the lore and story was consistent.

Haha! It's a nice feature though and I like that you play as different characters in the same universe, rather than that the world "resets" with each new captain.

I got that during my (ongoing) second play. I don't understand how I could have missed it the first time...

My first play lasted for about 20 minutes. Guess I suck at this kind of game. I didn't understand how to dock, so my crew was starving and then a huge ship appeared and crushed me in like two shots.

Grew the final metres in Grow Home, and it was SO GOOD!

I just played two hours of this and it's so good! I think Ubisoft's previous attempts to "go indie" have been really disappointing, but this game really hooked me

I finished Infamous: First Light a few minutes ago. I really wish more sandbox games were as condensed as this. It almost kept me interested the entire way through, despite repetitive missions and stiff dialogue. Almost.

Gravity Ghost a few days ago and I thought it was a generally disappointing experience. It sure looked and sounded great, but the levels flew by in such rapid pace without ever leaving a strong impression and the different abilities weren't used at all. It felt underwhelming to me. And the story was painfully sentimental and awkward. Seems like a lot of people are enjoying it though, so I guess that's great.

All of my items became invisible for some time in the PS4-version. It felt weird to guess the items from Manny's commentary alone...

Hi! I've been listening to the podcast for quiet some time now, as well as sneaking around quietly in the forums. So I thought I'd better sign up already I'm a young student from Sweden who (of course) love games, music and a special type of traditional Swedish fridge cake called "chokladbollar" (or "chocolate balls", I guess). As I'm not a native speaker I apologise in advance for all the uncomfortable grammatical mistakes I'll undoubtedly be making. Cheers
