I got addicted to Vampire Survivors some months ago, and I found that Brotato is a game that brings a similar gameplay style and feel. Having fun with that one right now. I am also playing this cracked out platformer named Pizza Tower. Very weird MS Paint-looking art style and fast Sonic-ish gameplay. That plus my usual Rocket League and occasional StarCraft 2.
LOL! Brotato is great, as is Pizza Tower. Pizza Tower is like some of the Wario 2D classics. If you like Brotato, Enter the Gungeon will surely scratch your itch. As will Nuclear Throne. Vampire Survivors is great. If you want something very similar but much more modern than Vampire Survivors, check out Deep Rock Galactic Survivor on Steam. There is a free demo which is basically just the pre-release version of the near full game.
Ooooh… will need to check out deep rock galactic survivor…. I know the previous game did pretty well, albeit different game type.

What is smallball? I play basketball. I'm not a regular big man. I can switch from the center to the guards. The game is evolving. I'd be dominAyton if the WNBA would let me in. - Ayton

After this last seasons dbacks run I’ve started to hunger for some baseball. Thinking about starting a franchise on mlb the show 23… figured I’d help support bones retirement. 😉
I appreciate the sentiment but unfortunately, I don't see any of that sweet Show money anymore.

Probably the most hyped game of all time is finally getting a trailer tomorrow...

Grand Theft Auto VI trailer:



I played the 5th installment a little... I've owned it on PS3, PS4, PS5, and PC. Still holds up well today.

Unfortunately, not arriving until 2025! I keep threatening to go back and beat V on PS5. Incredible game but I never finished it. Hard to get back into it after this much time off.

If you get the PS5 updated version, I'd restart it and play it. I've played through it probably 4-5 times and a little of the online. I have it on PC but haven't messed with mods yet, which is where I guess it really shines. Funny enough, it's super popular with the teenagers these days. Both my 16 and 18 year olds play it.

There's another open world game called Cyberpunk2077 very similar to GTA V and HIGHLY recommend it. I'm sure AIG is all over it... it has lots of nudity in it :P j/k

I remember when Cyberpunk came out that it was riddled with bugs. Sounds like they were able to get past that and fix it up.

I hardly play games these days, but Cyberpunk is my favorite game of all time since the most recent update and expansion a few months ago. I can't recommend it enough for anyone who enjoys that genre.

I'm not at all into animation or similar comic/superhero lore, but that game actually made me interested in the entire world the game is built on. I even enjoyed a few episodes of the Netflix animation series.

I like how Ironclad heals himself between enemies. Silent can stack some lethal poison cards.

Great stuff, thanks again for the recommendation. 😉

A bit random, but I just loved this article dissecting how several games on the SNES / Genesis performed sophisticated 3d graphical effects. Quite technical, but you can kind of skip the details and just look at the cool screenshots and gifs. Also it's in French, but my browser happily translated it for me.
