I've still not managed to kill death.
keep you going alright
Though evolving some of the area attacks are great (lightning and double ring) as well as more directed ones for the various mini-bosses
haven't been able to get the crimson cape (if I remember it correctly) and didn't have the gold for the Glass Vizard when it became available
currently 89/125 achievements and still loving the game.

I'm taking a break from the Elden Ring, the heatwave does not combine well with high pressure gaming so... ...Adventures!
Finished Dead Synchronicity (nice but short) and Resonance (great story and characters but some of the worst puzzles ever, great UI though) and now I've started Gabriel Knight 20th anniversary edition (never played the original so I appreciate the modern presentation and quality of life changes).
Powerwash Simulator. It's dumb, basically the videogame version of one of those "colouring books for adults" but the feedback loop is instant and it's satisfying as hell

Seriously, this fucking game. I know it's daft as hell but I keep coming back. Just cleaned a monster truck shaped like a cat and next up is a ferris wheel.
Haven't tried co-op yet but it seems like one of those games that you can easily use as a chatroom whilst you all collaborate.
12 y/o son is banned from playing in front of anyone else as he's too erratic in his cleaning methodology. This is one of those games where, if you're watching someone else play, it can get infuriating as you realise other people don't follow the same cleaning routes you would

Haven't touched it in a couple of months now (waiting for V1) but hell yeah it's amazing.
Still on Powerwash here. GF flaked out super early on Saturday so I thought I'd have a "quick" round. Looked up and somehow 7 hours had passed. Haven't had that kind of experience for a few years

It's on GamePass and Steam.
Powerwash Simulator
Had a session on this and it's surprisingly compelling. The first real level, the garden, has to be the longest level I've played in any game. Took me ages!
Of course, I should have been outside doing that to my garden rather than a mythical one on screen. :/
Vampire Survivors
Getting more into this, so perfect on the Steam Deck. Not pushing too hard, rinsing the early levels to try and build up some coin. Finding 25ish minutes in the library a bit of a brick wall.
Two Point Campus
Looks decent and people seemed to love two point hosital. It's on Game Pass so went to give it a go but the text was a bit small from the couch and it was too hot for any effort, so went and cleaned a dirt bike on Powerwash.
Garlic and bibles are essential for the library. It’s now my go to level for mopping up achievements.(currently have 108/129)
Evolved lightning is great for dealing with large waves of enemies. Learning how to evolve weapons is important always useful to have directed as well as area weapons
Moonglow is the level for racking up coins
Worth having 10k when you get there first to buy the glass vizard when it appears (allows you to buy power ups every level
Probably my most played game in the last few weeks (81hours played since I got it)

Haha, nice one. It's astonishing just how "grabby" this game is. Hell, is it even a game? Does it fucking matter?
I finished it this weekend. Much gnashing of teeth ensued, as if there was ever a game that *needed* Workshop support, it's this.
"of course I had to buy it" .. turns out .. "it's a really nice game"
I just got "Cult of the Lamb" ... so .. if you'd mix Zelda with Animal Crossing and you give it a "a strange spin" you get "Cult of the Lamb"
I tried it a bit, it's .. actually complicated .. there are SO many things to do/you can do .. ( maybe even "too complicated" we'll see how it goes .. ) ..
It's a mix between "fight to get resources" and "use the resources wisely" ..
So far I played only a little bit to see how it was .. it's .. strange
Retried Outer Wilds for the 4th time as I'd heard it mentioned on a podcast in super-glowing terms. Realised that every time I've tried it before, all those times I had no idea what I was doing, was all down to me missing a super-key component of the game. :-/
Probs on me but it's something I don't remember the game ever pointing out. Still though, I'm enjoying it this time round :-)
Also fired up Walkabout Minigolf on the Quest 2 because they just released that Labyrinth level. And it doesn't disappoint in the slightest. The labyrinth stuff is fantastic (including a treasure hunt that nets you a Jareth claw hook club) and the golfing is still utterly brilliant
Fired up Norco after hearing someone talk about how it might be his game of the year so far. Pixelly point and click adventure that has some incredible storytelling. Only about a quarter in but so far it's impressed me a lot. I'm always super sceptical of games that try to tell a story but the writing in this really is very good indeed. Apparently only about 5 hours long so I'm gonna sit and try and blast through it this evening
