basically 3D Dead Cells with furries. True, but since I play as the Pangolin, who has no fur, I can’t possibly be a furry myself.

More Windblown. I finished the game a few more times on the lowest difficulty, then moved up to the next. I have made it to the final area and boss a bunch of times, but not beat it yet.

Then, some more Disco Elysium. I’m on Day 3 now and started exploring the area that opened up. I think I’m doing things very similar to my first playthrough, but already found a few things I missed before. From my first playthrough, I remembered your partner Kim commenting on you running everywhere, so I deliberately walked everywhere on the first day. Sadly, he says the same thing and doesn’t take into account that you just walk, so now it’s back to jogging. Hope you like the workout, Kim!

Also, some World of Warcraft. Did very little this week, just some of the weekly quest to buy the last stuff I wanted. I still wanna do some event achievements, but I’m too lazy. Maybe over the holidays. There’s also been a patch, that added some new area, but I’m not even gonna bother with it.

How is it a cash grab?

You’ll never catch me using filters like these voluntarily. Inject those crisp pixels straight into my vein.

While Disco Elysium is like no other CRPOG I’ve played, I have to disagree with your other point, because Indies exist with tons of innovative stuff in there.

I’m re-playing it right now, and it’s great.

A bit more World of Warcraft. I got most of the anniversary items I want, now I’ll do some more achievements.

Then I started Windblown, the next game from the Dead Cells devs. I guess it’s coop, isometric Dead Cells. It’s very fun, but I feel harder than Dead Cells. I finished my first run today, and the end was pretty nerve wracking. As for the coop part, that seems pretty dead right now. The game’s in Early Access, so that doesn’t help, but I only ever a saw a single open lobby. I might check it out a bit more, now that I have won once.

Then I was about to re-play Disco Elysium, but got sick again, and was in no mood for any story games (which I why I started Windblown). Maybe this week, maybe next, but definitely this year.

Also, pretty good timing with me re-playing FF7R last week, since Rebirth is coming to PC end of January. I’m really looking forward to it.

Ori and the Blind Forest which I enjoyed, although I was expecting a metroidvania

What genre do you think the game belongs to? Just a normal platformer?

I would say, while combat is not the focus in the game, it still has all the trappings of a metroidvania.
