A few of the things that have us hooked this week.

Hello!
What have you been playing?
It’s only a small indie game.
I’ve been meaning to play it ever sinceChris gave The Banished Vault five stars in our review.
I’m glad I did.
In the Banished Vault, you’re a monk-on-the-run, in space.
Fascinating, isn’t it?
What I especially love is how sparingly this is portrayed.
That push-forwarding is mental investment on your part; that’s all a game or story can ask for.
Of course, it helps that it’s really artfully done.
There’s an eerie loneliness to Banished Vault, illustrated by delicious, gothic black-and-white pencil artwork.
I like this approach a lot.
All you gotta do is prepare dishes to order and get them out to customers in time.
I couldn’t have beenthatbad at it… A lot of vegetables and meat were yeeted across rivers that day.
I can see why Overcooked is so popular.
I’m already pumped up for the next round.
For what it’s worth, I also have a Curse of Strahd campaign on the go as well.
It’s a lot, and I worried for exactly that reason that I was overdoing it.
But at the weekend, I didn’t feel any of that.
We couldn’t take them in a straight fight so we had to get creative.
We decided, then, to scare them.
Meanwhile, we approached.
Bravo us - it was a bit more flavourful but I’m keeping it brief.
