Bit more puzzly, no narrative but if you haven’t played The Witness it’s a must, for similar vibes of relax, play at own pace etc.

On that theme, maybe @tjmw should check out Observation:

As a mystery with two people trying to survive and solve a mystery, often suffering comms problems, it does have something of a Firewatch vibe. You play the computer trying to keep an astronaut alive. The game mechanics are quite clever there, with you having to transfer your consciousness from one section of the space station or another, sometimes into a drone.

I could only find the PS4 trailer but it's on Steam.

A friends sons have been bafta nominated for their game cassette beast .

Cassette beasts is fun.

trying to replace my full fat msg (apex) addiction with diet msg (balatro). anyone playing ?

Thanks for the recommendation, and thanks @DethBeard @Detritus @itsbruce too, loads for me to check out here 👍

yeah. i didn't think i'd grok the poker theme but it's a pretty decent roguelike.

What do you do with Steam Points and why isn't it 'redeem them for games'?

Some kind of cosmetics nonsense and because that would cut into Valve's revenues.

Same as the trading card things: it costs them (virtually) nothing, and presumably increases engagement for some particular class of weirdo.

particular class of weirdo

I feel that would be me in any other world but even Nintendo let you use points to take money off games. I've got 150,000 steam points and never will I use them.

You don't want to buy new emoji & animated stickers for steam chat !?

Hope everyone had a Super Mar10 today

everyone should buy balatro imo + another copy for their dog, since they won’t be getting walked anymore

Tekken 8 Platinum trophy is a very easy get (if you like your digital trinkets)

You only need to win 2 online matches (group play and player lounge) the rest is pretty organic (or simple to get with a guide, Ike the Ortiz basement, I did use a guide fir it, then got it naturally in on online match)

The PC version of Horizon Forbidden West drops in nine days. A bit excited.

Good fun.

Someone on Reddit said “it’s the level good that I’ve had to delete it.”

Sounds like Slay the Spire (which I’ve had to delete. I definitely want to try it though. But I’m currently completely absorbed in The Outer Wilds.

Such a fun game! ⬆️⬆️⬅️⬇️

i prefer slay the spire as there's more to it but if you like card games it's good fun and time will slip by you without you knowing if you let it.

my copy of the StS board game is shipping soon as well i think. looking forward to trying it.

Quite enjoying this series of game devs doing consequences:
