Almost didn’t buy any games this month, just spent a few quid on the latest Vampire Survivors DLC. Played a couple of other games though.
Games completed this month
Dredge – Xbox Series X
Very much enjoyed this, at some point I’ll probably pick up the extra content and go mop up the achievements. I think this game finished my attempt to play Sea of Stars though, since it completely took over all I wanted to play, and I really didn’t want to go back to that after.
Vampire Survivors – Operation Guns
The only “game” I bought during May, and I’ve already finished it. Always up for more Vampire Survivors content, I expect I’ll keep buying it as long as they keep making it. This one was based on the Contra series of games, entertaining for about 4 hours worth of content.
Games played during May
God of War: Ragnarök – PS5
It’s been long enough since I bought this that I decided it was time to get to it. Mostly to keep myself from buying Spiderman 2 and playing that instead. Not far in yet, but it is just as impressive as the previous game.
It Takes Two – Xbox Series S
Restarted this with my girlfriend, it really is a masterpiece of co-op gaming. Previously played as an online game, it is even better played locally on one machine. I might need a replay of A Way Out after.
What’s been on the arcade?
Sinden Light Guns – Arcade
My lightguns continue to distract from arcade gaming. I’ve half-assed a setup on my lounge TV using my Raspberry Pi5. It’s not perfect, but it is playing PlayStation and Dreamcast games very well. I’ve spent a decent amount of time playing Time Crisis, Point Blank, House of the Dead 2 and Virtua Cop 2. Eventually I’ll set the rest of the stuff up. Maybe. At least for now I’m making use of the Pi5 too.
Games retired this month
Sea of Stars – Xbox Series X
I did make a decent amount of progress with this, but it never really got its hooks into me. Decided to move on.
