Plus I am surprised what a faff they made it to do anything about him (after dying loads to him I did a quick Google and .....really ? )
I just thought death signified the end of the round (at the 30 minute mark). Hadn't even thought about looking up info regards how to deal with him if he shows up earlier

Huh, I'll have to take a look at that then.

I blitzed tons of it when I first picked it up a few months back but have dropped back to just a round or to per week. TBH I'm waiting for the big update that changes the rendering and lets graphics cards fully pick it up. Seeing what it might run like when it lets my 2060 handle the visuals properly is seriously intriguing :-)

I've managed to beat him once, and I think it's down to the:
Spoiler: show
Crimson shroud - I could be wrong though.
Shit got seriously trippy after I'd beaten him... :)
Because fucking marketing cunts would never call a spade anything other than a Deluxe Easi-Shift Earth Movement Solution.

Looking forward to it. Thanks to it being mentioned here I've had a few more games. Mainly working through levels that weren't in the game when I last played it properly. Fell in love with the evolved Song of Mana in Gallo Tower :-D

I finished Steelrising (33hrs) - a solid 8/10 Soulslike with an interesting story.

I picked up Riders Republic Ultimate on the psn deals for £32 - it includes the season pass and the bmx career that's added tomorrow. My 50 year old hands are aching from playing this too much it's so addictive and there is a tonne of content. The skiing, bike racing and rocket wings are my favourites so far.

It's pretty wonderful!
I stayed away from the hype and hate to play it with just my rose tinted nostalgia glasses on, and it surpassed my expectations.
Ron Gilbert still has it!

I don't think I've ever encountered such a mindless game that's grabbed me so solidly for so long :-D

Me too! Got 38 out of 40 achievements now. Love the storyline in Career Mode, and it’s so satisfying when that ding sounds and you clear another area.

Digging through my games looking for something new to try, found a game that I must have got through a bundle:

Per Aspera - It's a non-conflict survival game where you're terraforming Mars for human inhabitants. The "foes" are the climate and degradation of buildings.

And it's flipping great! It looks like Civ but handles like a mix of the resource gathering stages of C&C and then games like Mini Metro/Motorways. The map is huge, balancing supplies etc is a good challenge and the whole thing is a constant balance of making sure the right shit can get to the right destinations.

Working my way through Tinykin on PC Gamepass. It like a slice of Dreamcast 3D platforming but at 4K60. It's not particularly challenging, or particularly long (guide says 4-5 hours to complete the story, I'm on 7 about to start the last level), but it's lovely.

Having a blast on Prodeus at the moment. Doom on steroids. Fast and satisfying! :) Also on GamePass....
