Happy new year! What have you been playing?
I’ve been continuing on binding of Isaac a lot. Got a lot of completion marks with tainted lost finally.
Also while not a video game I recently picked up the slay the spire board game and have been having an absolute blast with it
I went outside of my usual wheelhouse and tried playing some of the Wario games for the gameboy advance. Finished Warioware in one afternoon (very fun short little collection of mini games) and currently on Wario Land 4. It’s a platformer with light puzzle elements, and I’m quite surprised at how much I’ve been enjoying it, as I usually don’t mesh with platformers.
In a way, it reminds me of one of the later Commander Keen games, but with much better level design and variety in gameplay.
It’s a polished and quirky little game, and its handheld roots lend itself to short sessions, which has been all I have time for.
I think I’ll be investigating the earlier entries after I complete it. Certainly recommend it if you have access to a handheld emulator!
Wario games have some of the most polished classic platforming mechanics.
