I've always wondered what Alastor does as a job. Or is he a billionaire playboy? Or a time traveller?

A shout out for Ballionaire.

It's a pachinko rogue like. And it's like crack. It tickles every part of a human brain that should be tickled. It's somewhere between one of those idle games, Peggle and Slay the Spire. When everything starts triggering and you start accruing silly points it's absolutely the most satisfying thing ever made.

GOTY so far. I'm only half joking.

I had a limited edition Zelda OLED Switch, and it was/is gorgeous. The LE Switch 2 is also lovely, but I guess at some point rational thought needs to kick in. I'll get an OLED Switch 2, and will use self restraint.

I knew buying Witcher 3 on the original Switch would eventually pay off.

I've played a bit of Resonance: A Plague Tale Legacy but I'm not sure I'll stick with it. The previous two games in this series were basically stealth games where you needed to solve various light-based puzzles to avoid being eaten by swarms of rats - they also had a really strong and atmospheric medieval setting that really lifted them apart from the competition. This prequel is an Uncharted-alike with a much more generic ancient Greek flavour and a combat system based around annoyingly precise parries. It looks absolutely spectacular but honestly this isn't my thing, it's competing in a very crowded marketplace and it's probably not going to make much impact overall. A shame.

Apart from knowing these games are full of rats, I've never tried one. It's another one of those reasons why I too am considering Gamepass. I can play all three games in a series I have no interest in, for free. Woo hoo!
