10 Games People Enjoy That I Loathe

While originally this was going to be the hardest crashing out games I've ever done, it's closer to a full games list of games I tried to force myself to enjoy, or did enjoy until developers/publishers ruined it for everyone. No low hanging fruit on this one like your Veilguards or e-sport shooters. These are all games I bought or was able to play with the intention of loving and then got scarred so deeply, I can recall my disdain in a moments notice. I think if you stopped the episode at the honourable mention, I'd get it. Some people like me are just criminally insane but walk in daylight pretending to be normal. ---------------------------------------- Hosted on Acast.

Star Fox Remake and Other Gaming News

Face design? C+. Gameplay? A++. Average? hopefully an A-. I think we have a pretty strong May and June, then stuck waiting until August and September before I can see myself targeting some day 1 purchases. November GTA6 release is still the dooms day for other games but in our upside down world, even used consoles are going up in price. So probably a pass for me. ---------------------------------------- Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy [https://acast.com/privacy] for more information.

Slay the Spire 2

I think coop reignited my love for simple deck building roguelikes. I did a solo run to start and felt like "not this again", and then suddenly having a group of people succeeding or sucking kinda finding a healthy balance as you try and make your run work. The love of RNG might be the factor if you love or hate this game but I've spent nearly 3 times the playtime of the original and feel I got way more value out of STS2. ---------------------------------------- Hosted on Acast.

Absolum Review

Struggling through the initial few hours definitely gets you set for upgrade combos later on but if the intended difficulty isn't your jam, you can pump up your damage dealt or ramp down damage taken if you just want to get a win for once. I did like the longer burn before I felt comfortable getting near azra every run, but the more you skill up, the easier it is to get there every time. A very fun game. ---------------------------------------- Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy [https://acast.com/privacy] for more information.

Feb-March NextFest 2026

Not sure how a capcom game made it into nextfest demo front page but I guess you do what you gotta do. Probably over exaggerating but the selection of less than quality titles seems a lot higher this year. It definitely took a few days for the good titles to work their way to the top thanks to the steam community digging deep. ---------------------------------------- Hosted on Acast.
