Really love that there's a crossover with Terraria - that and Don't Starve Together are among my favourite games.

Less of a game and more of somebody making the world a slightly better place.

It's literally all about reading and writing short letters from and to strangers over the Internet. You can write letters sharing your experiences, getting things off your chest or asking for advice, and you can respond to others' letters .

It's like a simplified board game based on the D&D campaign "Tomb of Annihilation" without the roleplaying. I normally enjoy the depth and complexity of RPGs but I must admit that this is done very well and being able to casually start and play a mission for a few minutes without having to get deeply invested is an enjoyable change of pace.

Overall, I highly recommend this game, but be aware that it's a single-player D&D board game and not traditional roleplaying.

Seriously addictive space-ninja action game.

Lucas Arts was known back in the day for making good adventure games, and this was one of their best. And while the original still holds up fairly well today this release is a great example of how to remaster a game perfectly - beautiful and modern but still completely faithful to the original.

The game is a humour-dense adventure about time travel in which you concurrently play as 3 friends trapped in 3 different time periods - the 18th century, with the founding father deciding how to establish their new country, the early 90's "today", where it's just slightly too late to stop a mutated evil genius tentacle from overthrowing the world, and the 22nd century future where humans are nothing more than pets for their tentacle overlords - who need to find a way to get back to yesterday so that they can stop the tentacle from mutating into an evil genius in the first place.

Genuinely one of the most enjoyable and memorable games I've played.

The premise is that young a circus acrobat runs away from home to join a special summer camp where psychic children are taught to become secret agents.

At the camp you meet a huge cast of weird and surprisingly-detailed characters, learn to unlock young Raz's various latent psychic powers (that are really fun to use), unravels a crazy conspiracy, and along the way project him into the minds of numerous characters. Each mind that you enter is a unique, surreal world with its own rules.

I strongly recommend this game, but be aware that the unusual art style takes some getting used to at first.
