I think if they were sincere in their 'protect the kids' narrative they would be pushing for an age-rating system instead of outright bans. To be clear, they still wouldn't use such a system in good faith, but it certainly wouldn't be as blatant.

Could it be Knowledge Adventure? I played some of the JumpStart games growing up.

I love roguelites and the genre melding you can do with them. I've been searching for one that competes with Risk of Rain 2 for me. I've played all the big ones but none have had the same staying power.

The biggest bummer for me is Dead Cells. For most of the run, I slaughter. First two original bosses I can pretty consistently no-hit. Then I get to the hand of the king and die in about 5 seconds every. Single. Time. It's 100% a skill issue but I feel it just asks so much of me compared to the rest of the game on the same difficulty, and I'm only on boss cell 1. I've even gone I to the training mode vs him and his tells paired with my time to respond just have not clicked.

There's also Enter the Gungeon. I also have struggled with it but actively plan to get back into it to work through it.

Lastly, shutout to Dicey Dungeons. It's lesser known and I think everyone should play it.

I feel I could handle a reasonable amount of complexity if I could respec my build. Let me experiment without having to roll through a whole new character. It's a big reason why I prefer Grim Dawn so much. Not because of the complexity but because I can adjust as I go if a part of my build didn't work out the way I'd hoped. Definitely my biggest hope for POE2.

Mmm, yes. The solution to giant tech companies having all the market share is for there to be a THIRD giant tech company with all the market share. I mean I guess a triopoly is better than a duopoly but it's hardly a solution.

I wonder how that's gonna work gameplay wise. Do we spend maybe 50-75% of the game with all these cool symbiote powers that then go away forever? Not pre-critisizing, just very curious how they'll make that still feel good to play if they go that route.

I am very ready for more ARPG from these guys, whether that's a new game or more Grim Dawn.

With Guardians 3, I've now gotten everything I wanted from the MCU. If they manage to get things back on track I'd be game to catch up but my hopes aren't high. While flashy, there's nothing here that doesn't look like the same old MCU.
