There’s still a couple days left and I’m curious to hear what others have been playing.

A couple standouts I’ve played:

Tropico 7: I’m a pretty big fan (~360 hours in 6) so I was very excited to try the demo. It’s more Tropico, which is what I’m looking for! Some of the gripes I had with 6, like managing buses, have been smoothed over and I like the better visibility of how much money each citizen makes. I’m looking forward to the full release.

Beastfolk Barber: I tried this more to recommend to a couple friends since visual novels aren’t usually my thing, but this game is so cute! Customers come in, you spend a minute getting to know them, pick out some haircut options, then chat more while cutting their hair. I like that no customer overstays their welcome before leaving, and a couple of them were really endearing. I likely won’t play the full release myself, but I know a couple people I may gift it to.

What have you been playing?

I've got a few more downloading now, but I've tried Shimoda Drift, where you drive a moon rover over difficult platforming. Pretty cool, and quite hard. Also Symphonia, a platformer that I haven't really gelled with. I haven't tried it yet, but Slam Tank looks completely insane and great.

    I have played Slam Tank. It is very goofy, fun and I like the concept but it did feel a bit easy and basic. I think there is probably more depth than I found. Will keep an eye on it up to release.
