I rarely get hooked by games anymore, but Neon Tail... is something else. Made by three people, it's all beauty instead of edge, definitely not cool, more like, embarrassingly hot cheeked. Skate gracefully (with rather challenging physics) to relentless dance music, meet people, shop outfits and...

dread delusion

Entering the rare achievement zone for events that are actually quite early and achievable, such a good buzz: Here is where people gave up, and I didn't.
Dread Delusion is for me what the Elder Scrolls must be for many people: Something that I can play casually, but with good writing. Go over here, solve a small problem, and then go over there and click away some monsters on the way...

n64 nostalgia

(It was mostly made in Japan with some input by the US rights holders, but the influence of King‘s Field and Echo Night, the latter which came out the year before is hard to overlook, lifting this way over the pulpy original Shadowgate that in comparison is a sheer jumble of fantasy tropes with barely any coherence)
