Late thread but I’m not gone!
What are you playing? I finished Castlevania! Pretty solid, I liked some of the things they were doing with the tarot cards and clues. Some cool moments there but it could have been fleshed out more.
Kind stuck on what to play on now. I started up Titanium Court which I’m loving but it’s coming out on mobile on Thursday and that might be a more fun place for me to play it
I beat Titanium Court quite recently - can highly recommend, a great game for multiple reasons which I won’t spoil.
I’m also in the late game of Control: Resonant. Loving the game, though missing a bit of that Sam Lake weirdness in there. It’s just a well made solid game in Control universe, but it almost doesn’t feel like a Remedy game in a way. Still, highly recommend it (it’s out on GOG now too, btw)
I’m sad to hear that about Resonant. I was worried they’d be afraid to keep doubling down on their signature style after Alan Wake 2 sold poorly (because people evidently hate the Epic store that much).
Titanium Court was amazing, it’s my GOTY so far. It’s so funny that we can’t talk about it without spoiling anything though. It truly is Undertale for adults.
Finished the final boss of Grime last week, trying to get the areas I missed before. Not sure I’ll finish everything though, there’s just way too much platforming in the end game 🤣 plus I already missed one of the endings.
Haven’t figured out what to play next, but since I have about 50 unplayed games in my library, I’m sure I’ll manage something.
I’m still working on my NextFest report, which I may or may not be posting, but that’s pretty much what I’ve been spending the past week on. Dozens of dozens of demos, and between actually playing them then spending three times that amount of time sifting through the slop of AI vomit NextFest has sadly become.
But more importantly @chloyster@beehaw.org I’m so stoked you’re playing Titanium Court! I’ve been campaigning for it since it’s release but haven’t had much traction unfortunately. So far it’s my Game of the Year, I found it absolutely delightful (in more than one way). Don’t want to risk spoiling anything by saying more than that, though. I hope you’ll have a blast with it. (And yes, it’s probably a perfect game to play on your phone, too!).
I’ve been loving it so far! Definitely think I’ve only scratched the surface. I find the writing hilarious but also there’s just something about the low tide music combined with watching everything play out that is so fun and satisfying
I can’t wait for your thoughts once you’re finished! I have already typed and deleted several replies to this, but I really don’t want to spoil anything, so I guess they’ll stay deleted. But I do agree that the writing is hilarious, and it’s actually quite rare to find a game that is genuinely funny and clever like this, I think. And the mechanics are great and so clever, especially with all the little twists and variations on them through the game.
Been playing Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown on my Switch and Splinter Cell on my PC. Just finished the main story of the former and started with the latter. It has been fun playing Splinter Cell with all kinds of modernizing mods, such as EnhancedSC and ReShade shaders and ray tracing. With all the graphical mods my GPU use (GTX 1070) is at ~80%.
Both of these games make me wish Ubisoft wasn’t its head so deep in sand.

I’m playing Pictologica Final Fantasy on my phone via a 3DS emulator, fan translation.
I’m on a journey to play and finish as many obscure final fantasy related games as I can. I’ve also recently played final fantasy legends, and Chocobo Land of Dice (fan translation of the GBA game)
Pictologica is just a nice little puzzle game to kill time on my phone.
