  3. Oh gosh, blast from the past – I had a copy of Riven back in the day! If you like that game, I can also recommend

    Zork: Nemesis

    It was my favourite game in the late 90s, but when we upgraded our PC, I discovered I couldn’t complete one of the puzzles any more, because the animation was based on your processor’s speed and the objects moved too fast to click on! I assume they’ve fixed that on the latest versions, and even if not, it’s worth buying for pure nostalgia.

    *…heads to PC to buy it now…*

    Edit: caveat – it’s the DOS version of the game and runs a bit janky, but I’m going to give it a try anyway for the nostalgia.

  6. I’m jealous of steam and all their indies, but I’ve always had Nintendo consoles growing up 😭 and my ps5 is making me realize I don’t like their exclusives or the realistic games. Only realistic game I loved thus far is Edith finch and that’s an indie game. And I bought “a short hike” I’m def getting a switch but waiting on an announcement because I feel like I’m more of a handheld gamer, but stems deck is enticing but I’ve never games on pc and last time I used windows was on windows 7 and before. Maybe I’ll get a deck sometime in the future

  9. PREAMBLE – Feel Free to Skip:

    So I was born in the 90s. And that meant a lot of the kids shows I watched, debuted around the turn of the millenium.

    Particularly the Big Three. Pokémon, Yu-Gi-Oh, and Digimon.

    Now, Pokémon is a juggernaut, everyone knows what it is. Yu-Gi-Oh has persisted thanks to memes. Digimon though?

    Most of Digimon’s legacy in the mainstream is people’s misplaced assumption it was a Pokémon clone. The shows changed too much, too often, to endure the same way. The games were a bit too niche, and the merch didn’t fly off the shelves quite like the other two. But it endured.

    See, a lot of people remember Digimon as “oh, wasn’t that a Pokémon clone”. But really, it was a Tamagotchi spin-off. Specifically, “Tamagotchi for boys”. Because marketing people are dumb.

    So when we got to videogames for it, the games we got were built off that Tamagotchi concept. Raise a little guy, but also he can fight monsters.

    And over the years we’ve seen other games, like the Story ones that are more RPG-y, or Survive which is a VN with some mildly tactical battles in it. But at its core, it all comes back to the source.

    ACTUAL RECOMMENDATION:

    **Digimon World – Next Order**

    Digimon World is a pet raising game, but also an adventure game. Next Order is a spiritual sequel to the original, but with the neat gimmick of having *two* partners to raise, which makes stuff more interesting.

    You go around the world doing little missions for people to recruit them back to town, to grow the town and increase your ability to raise your two digimon partners. And each time they die and come back (tamagotchi, remember), they evolve differently, and come back stronger, and level faster.

    It’s a weird game to figure out, but if it clicks for you, its amazing.
