Discussion What are you currently playing? (Week 16 of 2026)

I got an OLED monitor last year so for this quarter of backlock blitz I decided to play HDR games. I started Death Stranding and despite all the kojimisms and nonsense I really like the setting and the base gameplay of it. Even though I know I shouldn't get bogged down in early episodes making endless deliveries it's just plain fun.
Playing at full brightness straight up hurts my eyes in the evening so as a timewaster I continue to play Slay the Spire 2. It's truly amazing how it's the game you remember the first one being but it improves on pretty much every aspect. It looks like you remember it but in direct comparison it's sooooo much more detailed. It plays like you remember but there's new builds for everyone and new classes on top of that. I've played Magic the Gathering for years in my youth and tons of card games later so for the most part I can just turn my brain off and go through the motions but the balance here is just immaculate for what the game is.
 
I'm playing The Posthumous Investigation but I needed something to just turn off my brain, so I'm also playing this old retro game called Burnout Paradise can you believe that it was released 18 years ago?

Currently I am wrapping up Romeo is a Dead Man, which is something I started at launch but never went back to. There are things I love about it, as with all Suda games, like the characters, art design and music. Some of the level design, combat and enemies are total bullshit though, and the lack of budget becomes even more apparent in the last two chapters.

I will be getting Dosa Divas and Pragmata this week and likely play both ASAP. Should be a fun time!
