Tall Trails is an absolutely delightful 3D platformer with the vibes of A Short Hike and gameplay that would please any platformer fan.

I loved how the collection elements were optional but not overwhelming, making it very easy to 100%.

I #justbeatit and loved it.

Horizon: Call of the Mountain is a very immersive experience with fun climbing mechanics. Even though there are elements that feel very "tech demo" this is a fully fledged game that took me over 8 hours to complete!

PSVR 2 is fun times so far!

Wondering if Half-Life 3 will happen is NOT a new thing, lol (this isn't even the earliest example I could find)

Öoo is a bombastic puzzle platformer with clever movement and mechanics that slowly reveal themselves as you explore. It's short and sweet with more secrets to uncover....if only I knew I how to pronounce the title properly 😏

Plus, it's cute AF.

Oh woah, MotionRec is an absolute banger puzzle game with a unique mechanic where you record platforming paths and replay them to reach new areas.
2025 doesn't quit!

Hear more about it on the latest @indiequestpod.com! :)

Hey @polykillpodcast.bsky.social I #Justbeatit, and it was fantastic.

These are the best Pac-Man games, without question.

It's a crime that this game doesn't have a photo mode.

It begins...

Tomorrow is another huge indie game relase day with Possessor(s), Goodnight Universe, and Windswept ALL coming out!

It's crazy how many incredible and unique titles come out every week nowadays, gotta love it! ✨

Borderlands 4 was a very solid entry in the series. The gameplay itself is what you would expect. It's refined in some ways, and not so much in others. A fun time with good company.

@sarwinland.bsky.social and I #justbeatit in split-screen co-op!

As always I keep a running list in my notes, but it's a bit chaotic and has no order. There are too many games I want to play and not enough time.

Sword of the Sea is stunning, it is awe inspiring.

The art direction, the music, the gameplay... I loved it.

So Friday I bought Silksong on Steam, and then proceeded to play over 10 hours this weekend (on my save, moved over).

Bilewater is my biggest gripe with the game so far, but this is definitely one of my favorite games ever now. I'm excited to see what else it holds.

We're in the endgame, now.

Back on that Silksong since I bought it on steam and moved my Xbox save over...

Baby Steps is absolutely brilliant.

Every step is one step away from a set back, but choosing to get back up and continue on in spite of it all, that's what counts.

The best this genre has to offer.
Fair but brutally challenging.

And, it's hilarious.

There's still a ton left to do in Silksong, but it was very cathartic to see credits.

A beautiful, brutal, atmospheric, unforgiving masterpiece that isn't for everyone.

But to me, this is an all timer.
Game's good.
