I continue to play UFO 50 often. I have found over half of the games to be really thought-provoking, worthwhile experiences. Onion Delivery, Party House, and Rail Heist were some that I finished up recently and was pretty wowed by.
I’ve been playing two other games lately. Slice and Dice is incredible. It’s great to have a game I can play on my phone without having to put it in landscape mode or whatever. And once I got the weirdos in the green class unlocked, it was over. Yes, I want to roleplay as a housecat, coffin, shovel, coat and alien!
I also have started the new game Keep Driving. It’s from the crew behind Post Void and The Aquatic Adventure of the Last Human. You are a young adult going on a road trip, picking up hitchhikers, dealing with unexpected road conditions and managing your limited resources (and trunk space!) It is an extremely clever transference of RPG mechanics to a very relatable and inspired world. The dreamiest parts of young adulthood are just as great of a place to hang out in as some fantasy world, it ends up.
Oh, I’ve also been playing a little Nethack most days for the monthly game club. It’s real easy to pop in and play for a couple minutes, and it’s free! Come join us!
I am having a strong taste for roguelike roleplaying with unique characters and situations this winter, probably because I really wish I could rearrange a few things in my own life and the world lately.
