So, I got some games from the sale and slowly started playing them a little…

Slay the Spire seems to be quite liked, but it’s not really my thing. Beat the game with three of the four characters I have access to and it still hasn’t really “clicked”. If somebody could explain to me what makes this game so (supposedly) great, maybe I’d be able to appreciate it a little better?

I also got Redout 2, because I really enjoyed the first part and thought the second should be at least as good. So far I like it, seems like a graphics upgrade and some gameplay enhancements from the first part. However, with ai assist disabled, the difficulty curve seems to be brutally steep. Also, even though I have only played like 8 tutorials and 3 campaign tracks so far, I have already had some issues with clipping through the course after jumps, which might turn into a rather annoying trait if it remains an issue. Still, would recommend. It’s a beautiful antigravity racer with terrific “car” mechanics.

Apart from that, I got the gog version of Sid Meier’s Alpha Centauri running (although the videos don’t work). It’s kind of my comfort game which I keep returning to.
