I've long hoarded Steam games via bundles, sales etc. When the Deck launched, I was ALL in. Since getting the Steam Deck I have played *one* game on my PS5 - Astrobot. The convenience and breadth was gamechanging.

After ten million years of playing games with minimalist aesthetics it's SO refreshing to play a block puzzle game, the genre with the most baked-in excuse for it, nevertheless somehow manage to go even more maximalist than you had even considered possible

tbh as much as official rereleases are good for accessibility, I also feel like a lot of people just won't play games if they don't have official versions and that's not great for culture. Everyone should be downloading random ROMs until they find that special one that breaks their brain wide open.

Had no idea it was launching this soon either! Immediate purchase.

The thing that actually levelled me out though? Like properly let me switch my brain off? A run through of Tetris Effect's Journey mode early this morning.

You still picking away at Smoochem?
