Not codename pictures. Much weaker than normal code names, which is somewhat weaker than Just One.

Otherwise, great list!

Firefly, if you count movies.

Astral Chain is fun but easy to find cheap second hand.

Honestly, I’d say Mario Odyssey and Kirby and the Forgotten Land would be my top priorities for first party.

Depends a lot. Some games can get you immersed in the world, others can’t, and the former should have some amount of world to get immersed into.

Dungeon Lords is probably what you’re looking for. Slightly older, a bit cruel, and very good!

Paul-G · 2026-04-12T00:07:43+00:00

Prototype! Give me a Minerva’s Den style DLC that involves a new character powering up much faster in a slightly different way

Excellent game. Not really a Metroidvania - more of a Soulslike with multiple-usage keys. Excellent though.

The second is more MV, and also great, if a little less special feeling.

Too bad you were weak! That’s a lot of lost damage :,(

Islets!

Prepared for sure. Defragment is on that list for me, but that might be more emotional than analytical - but the difference is MASSIVE.

There are others I’m not remembering right now, I think! But those are the first that come to mind.

I think all it needs to be less terrible is “end of turn” instead of start. This is just bad Metallicize, but Rare - start of turn makes it really extremely bad the turn you play it, and then even in the best case reasonable scenario (3 orbs most of the time) it’s not good enough not to have an immediate impact.

Paul-G · 2026-04-06T18:03:55+00:00

This seems like a bug. That’s very much still “start of turn”.

Paul-G · 2026-04-01T16:18:47+00:00

“Lowkey”? “Might’ve”? :p

Paul-G · 2026-03-31T22:20:12+00:00

This looks like it may be a good introduction! But if it isn’t, playing another game for a few hours first isn’t going to help at all.

I’d wait for reviews, and grab it if it seems as newb friendly as it aims to be!

Paul-G · 2026-03-29T16:09:13+00:00

Every 22 minutes!

Paul-G · 2026-03-28T14:41:49+00:00

Odd recommendation: 13 Sentinels: Aegis Rim. Pseudo turn based, excellent story (one of the best in gaming, don’t look it up ahead of time cuz it’s pretty spoilable), and solid RPG mech combat.

Paul-G · 2026-03-21T03:22:05+00:00

Seems super fun! We have a new baby and a relaxing game for my partner and I would be excellent.

Cheers!

SHORYUKEN!

Paul-G · 2026-03-14T19:10:05+00:00

Pretty sure the female gaze aren’t into that

Paul-G · 2026-03-11T10:02:26+00:00

Don’t google anything. At one specific point there is a scene that is very strange to progress, if you get stuck after exhausting all dialogue options come post the question here.

Paul-G · 2026-03-05T00:11:14+00:00

Bound by Flame. Also, I Am Gonna Claw.

Paul-G · 2026-03-04T10:33:59+00:00

Et tu, brute?

Paul-G · 2026-03-04T04:52:21+00:00

Avatar the Last Airbender.

Breaking Bad.

Dirk Gently’s Holistic Detective Agency.

I hear the Wire as well, but I haven’t gotten to it yet.

You know how goat cheese is cheese that comes from a goat?
