Question of the week:
What games of 2025 are you enjoying right now, if any?
and
What do you think of the recent Nintendo Direct? And the upcoming one on April 2nd? And, once the Direct airs, what did you think of it? (Last question is for when it airs in the future.)
I’ve been bouncing between games a lot the last few months trying to find something to hyperfocus on.
I tried Going Medieval for a bit. Its a medieval rimworld clone in 3d. Its ok but too easy and needs a lot of fleshing out.
I played some Delta V Rings of Saturn. Its a 2d top down asteroid mining game. Sounds kinda lame but its pretty good. The physics are done really well. (No friction 100% preservation of inertia) On the one hand it is really calm and peaceful and low stress… until you are trying to catch a beacon that is spinning and every time you fail to get it through your cargo bay doors you add more velocity to it and then the next thing you know you are screaming through the asteroid belt dodging giant hunks of ice where its just a matter of time before you crash.
The story is pretty thin to non existent so I got bored. Its one of those games where the grind is the game and the loop does end up getting a bit dull.
Star Wars Episode 1 Racer is a game my childhood self loved and I would vouch for anyone playing that game. It really is great.
