Would be amazing to see Shenmue IV someday.

Imagine just how good it will feel when that first Shenmue IV teaser drops... it gives us chills just thinking about it. 💫 Let's hope we're not too far away from seeing something like this turning up on our news feeds. (Fanmade teaser created by us, not official in any way!) #LetsGetShenmue4

Finished The Excavation of Hob's Barrow. Excellent point-and-click Victorian horror with a smidge of Lovecraft. Feels like an Eggers film at times. Fully recommended for slow, cosy horror fans. I comment @cloakanddaggerg.bsky.social and can't wait for their next game.

Just finished reading the Hall of Records in The Neverhood. I love this game and its enormous lore wall.

Shinobi: Art of Vengeance is such a cool game. Following the guy who killed your whole clan into the afterlife, so then you can join forces with your entire dead clan to raid his fortress is just the raddest thing you can imagine.

Adventure game masterpieces. Wish Kojima went back to making these kinds of games.

Aaaaaand finished Herdling. Beautiful journey from beginning to end, always with a sense of worry over the flock. Amazing achievement.

I love how beautiful Herdling is. Fantastic job from @okomotive.ch.

Finished Princess Peach: Showtime. While a game that's much simpler in design than Nintendo's usual core titles, it's still very impressive on its variety of styles and gimmicks, and it delivers a ton of fun with the theater play sets. Hoping more Peach games can be made.

I've just completed something I've been meaning to do for over a year: My playthrough of The Crimson Diamond by @juliaminamata.bsky.social. An amazing investigation adventure game in a classic style. I played The Colonel's Bequest right before so I could properly appreciate the style.

Love how it turned out.

My husband was like "how would one even go about making a fighting type eevee?" so I told him to hold my beer and burped this into existence. 👀 🎨

Took a little off-day to chill and I finally finished this thing that's probably been sitting around on my files for like 3 or 4 months now. 👀 🎨

Friend of mine made a pretty cool vid on @BlooberTeam's brand new game. Check it out. youtu.be/06Rtg_8OhWA

I am become shenmue, driver of forklifts

We are over the moon to be part of Rokaplay's August newsletter! Its amazing to see our Kibus having fun next to other great games! cozygamescelebration.beehiiv.com/p/07-2025-co...

Played s.p.l.i.t. by @mikeklubnika.bsky.social . A short, amazing experience full of industrial dread. Mike's a master at these small snippets of nightmare worlds in bursts of dispair. Fully recommended, it's two fifty on Steam at launch. store.steampowered.com/app/3684610/...

Finished Donkey Kong Bananza. Beautiful, delightful experience. Love how they've revitalised DK for a brand new age. He could surpass Mario as Nintendo's symbol with the amount of charisma he oozes in this adventure. Switch 2 also handling itself really well with crazy physics.

Death Stranding 2 instantly having Cyborg Ninjas and a huge bunch of Metal Gear elements and being a vast improvement upon 1, makes me feel like Kojima finally learned to give in. He is that guy, and being that guy is the coolest thing ever.

And here we go.

Bless GOG's new mod system. Gotta love it.

Finished all the cups in Mario Kart World! Loved the game as an intro to what the new Switch 2 generation has to offer from Nintendo. Lots of attention to details, from the music to the tracks.

Finished Onimusha 2! Fantastic remaster, the quality of life additions are wonderful, in particular the analog controls. The game's an absolute classic with touched-up pre-rendered backgrounds and classic Capcom action. Was a thrill to go through, love this era of games.

Finished two games this week. Kathy Rain 2 and Expedition 33. Two excellent, entirely different games, but that define the very best of their genres. It's been a great year for games.

Ammy doesn't like to see her friend get in fights. 💧 🎨

Expedition 33 has been spectacular so far. Loving my experience with iit.

Having loved the first Kathy Rain, I can't wait for this one. Extremely hyped for the release.

Finished Dredge. Quite a fun game where you play a little boat that fishes around a bunch of islands and searches for treasure. In the middle, some decent lovecraftian horror elements are in the mix. Trouble is, none of these go in interesting directions.

This gives me life. Absolutely beautiful art by my wife.

Another commish for my husband doctor_gamma @ ig this time of Kain! 🔥 🎨

I love finding my old stuff.

Xenoblade Chronicles X: Definitive Edition has been finished. At LOOOOOOOOONG LAST, two hundred and sixty-one hours later, it's finally done. What a doozy of a game. Enormous in every way. Fantastic experience, but definitely not for everyone.

I absolutely love it. So wonderful. :3

A commish for my husband @doctorgamma.bsky.social of Raziel ;v; ❤️

Finished Crow Country! Terrific 90s-styled survival horror game. The artstyle is excellent and truly fitting of the era, but what I praise the most about the game, is how unserious it can be, colorful and with a sense of humor. Wonderful game, @sfbdim.bsky.social. Look forward to the next.

Finished SIGNALIS at last. A spectacular game I was not expecting to enjoy this much. Hits a very particular point aesthetically, fulfills the very gratifying older survival horror formula extremely well, and ends up being one of the most complete experiences I've seen.

Finished Split Fiction. What an enormous success of a game. While I might have my criticism about the dialogue in Hazelight games, they're unparalelled in talent when it comes to visual directing, innovating gameplay features and taking advantage of a GAME as a medium. BEAUTIFUL.

Started Signalis. Flabbergasted at how good this game is so far. Holy crap, it's been a while since a survival horror got tone and mood this well. The direction is amazing.

Finished Far: Changing Tides. What a wonderful game. While a fully different experience from Lone Sails, still a beautifully made one. I really appreciated the change in vehicle and the variety of functions the player was now in charge of. Both games make for a fantastic ride.

In the last few days, I've gone through quite a few games. Gonna try and keep up the pace for the rest of the year, there's some heavy duty releases coming soon and I want to keep up with my backlog as well.

Clunk be damned, I still love Angel of Darkness.

Finished Voodoo Detective. A very welcome surprise of a point and click adventure game. Look at that art! Why didn't this game get more attention back when it originally release? Fantastic sense of humor, great voice acting, and fun puzzles.

Finished The Spirit And The Mouse. A small enjoyable experience, where you play a mouse with electric powers giving back the light to a small french town with your good deeds. It's short and easy, but very fun while it lasts.
