What we’ve been playing
Amanda- I’ve downloaded a ton of games that I’m going to try out. They are all from Game Pass and include The Ascent a dungeon crawler from the look of it, Back4Blood from Left4Dead creators, Dark Alliance by DnD, Genesis Noir (which looks like a bit of you Stacy), Immortal Realms a vampire thing, Onno a cute puzzler, Outriders which I think is an RPG, planet coaster because why not, Prey because I remember the hype around this game when I was in college, Torchlight 3… I don’t remember what kind of game it was but I liked the box art and Tropico 6 which I’m booting up now. Tropico 6 is a fun, tongue-in-cheek city/government SIM with missions and objectives for specific scenarios. Fun, but gets a bit samey after a while. I then played Children of Morta, a fun but VERY HARD dungeon crawler with couch co-op options. Watch me exploit the level design to crack out a boss kill here.
Stacy-Flight simulator is hard. It’s really hard. Or I’m really not good at it. But the Ascent is a lot of fun and worth the Game Pass price tag if you’re in the market for a cool cyberpunk/top-down RPG.
