..and that's game 39 of 2025 completed - Slots & Daggers
A fantastic little Indie mini rougelike. Utterly addictive and insanely cheap. Shares some of the same DNA as the likes of Balatro and Clover Pit but is still very much its own thing.

A fantastic little Indie mini rougelike. Utterly addictive and insanely cheap. Shares some of the same DNA as the likes of Balatro and Clover Pit but is still very much its own thing.
..and that's game 38 of 2025 completed - Sonic Racing: Crossworlds
Fancied a bit of arcade racing so gave this a try, sadly its really lacking something that made the previous Sonic Racing titles shine. Still stuck with it an golded all GP cups but wont be returning.
..and that's game 37 of 2025 completed - Absolum
Dotemu really are becoming the masters of this genre. This time seamlessly blending their Streets of Rage 4 gameplay to a perfect D&D/Fantasy rogue-lite setting.
Such a great year for Indies & this is another that sits way up the top of the list.
..and that's game 36 of 2025 completed - Hades 2
Rolled credits after 18 successful runs and could still quite happily keep playing. Once it gets it's hooks into you it's all consuming, and all that time in early access definitely paid off.
Death to Chronos!
..and that's game 35 of 2025 completed - Hollow Knight Silksong
One of the toughest and most rewarding games I've finished in years. Impeccable visuals, level design and lore building all help set this game up as the true Dark Souls of the Metroidvania genre.
..and that's game 34 of 2025 completed - Shinobi: Art of Vengeance
Metroidvanias have been going from strength to strength these past few years & this one is up there as one of the best. A perfect modernisation of a SEGA classic. I just hope the other upcoming remakes are done to a similar standard
..and that's game 33 of 2025 completed - Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater
MGS3 has aways been my favourite entry in the series and this beautifully handled remaster only solidifies its place. Offering an impressive visual uplift, refined controls and some nice quality of life improvements.
..and that's game 32 of 2025 completed - Sword of the Sea
One word... Breathtaking!

..and that's game 31 of 2025 completed - Donkey Kong Bananza
A ridiculously addictive platformer thats up there with Nintendos very best. A game that shows an increasingly brilliant level of creativity and inventiveness, that simply never lets up during its 30+ hour playtime.
..and that's game 30 of 2025 completed - Ninja Gaiden Ragebound
Dotemu have done it again! This time with a fantastic reinterpretation. One that pays homage to Ninja Gaidens 8-bit roots, whilst still feeling fresh and offering a serious challenge. Another GOTY contender for me for sure.
..and that's game 29 of 2025 completed - The Drifter
A fantastic entry to the point and click adventure genre. One that wouldn't feel out of place alongside the classics of that era.
Even down to replicating some of the slightly obscure style of puzzle solving in the final couple of chapters ๐
..and that's game 28 of 2025 completed - The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild
Never actually finished it at launch so I jumped at the chance of a fresh Switch 2 enhanced playthrough and boy did it deliver! An utterly captivating world that begs you to explore every well designed inch of it.
Latest Indie purchase - #TheDrifter
Any classic (point & click) adventure fans out there need to play this. It's pixel art perfection!

It really does. Bodes well for the other 23 tracks on the album ๐ค

..and that's game 27 of 2025 completed - Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze
Wanted to get in the mood for the arrival of Donkey Kong Bananza in a couple of week time. So what better way than with a playthough of one of Nintendos best platformers.
June 2025 VP Recap
Another month of barely any VP output. But I did atleast manage to complete this rather eclectic bunch of excellent titles.
Atleast this has put a smile on my face this morning!! LFG!! ๐คฉ #TheProdigy

01.07.2025 21:44 โ ๐ 1 ๐ 0 ๐ฌ 1 ๐ 0Ever feel like you are being relentlessly tested?...
After overcoming my battle with depression and passing of my father last year. To this year worrying over an ill wife & mother, a house clearance/renovation and move. Only to now be hit with risk of redundancy at work
basically "I'm tired, boss"

I'm just watching Prodigy at Glastonbury and wishing I was there, even though it would probably kill me ๐
Just seen.. what a setlist, and you got Sin! (or a version of atleast)

..and that's game 26 of 2025 completed - System Shock 2: 25th Anniversary Remaster
Absolutely blasted through this over the past few (very late) nights.
As good today as the day it released, and still one of the best immersive RPGs out there.
Thief series next please @nightdivestudios.bsky.social
Oh man.. enjoy! Hope you get the Stage B setup but will be great regardless.
29.06.2025 08:18 โ ๐ 0 ๐ 0 ๐ฌ 1 ๐ 0Thanks for making this a reality. Vividly remember the impact this game had on me at its original launch (and my aged PC at the time struggling to get anywhere near a decent framerate) so great to be able to revisit it in this way.
Also add me as another vote for a remastered Thief series next ๐
..and that's game 25 of 2025 completed - Lost in Random: The Eternal Die
The world of Random makes an ideal setting for this Hades inspired Roguelite. Whilst being slightly more forgiving than its main inspiration it's still a really great addition to the genre. One that's well worth peoples time.
