There is no need to be so strict so just mix it up and do it all.

In general, pre order hardware and not software, but if you’re excited for the game though then go for it :)

Shattered Pixel Dungeon looks like a fun one.

I’ve never been interested in playing games on my phone but over the last 2 months I’ve actually been playing more and more. Mostly PSP emulation but also some Balatro and Don’t Starve.

Honestly the thing I like about the Epic launcher is how basic it is. Making it faster is great but user profiles and personal recommendations I couldn’t care less about.

Plexamp

If I’m working then normally I use the smart playlists to mix it up a little.

The Lost World: Jurassic Park on the Playstation was bad and also quite difficult but I loved it.

I remember it had a 4 player co-op demo that was a lot of fun. Never bought it though :\

The whole “this is an Xbox” stuff just shows how lost they are…

That and buying Activision Blizzard for 70 billion :/

I use it but honestly it’s very overrated.

On one hand it’s useful for clans/communities (especially if you have community game servers) but at a certain point all meaningful discussion goes right out the window when there are too many people in one place. It works best with a small group of friends as a kind of meeting place.

Jedi Fallen Order is one of the very few games I’ve actually completed. It does get a little tedious at times but overall it’s a good game.

It’s nice to see Cairn on the list.

I recently played through the Fable remake (and Fable 2) and there is zero comparison to this new one. Bland and generic just like you say with nothing “Fable” about it :( So disappointing.

F1 Manager 2024

I discovered that there is a 2026 season mod so gave it a go this week. It a great mod (updated teams, drivers, personnel & assets to add Cadillac) but the gameplay in general is just so broken I gave up. I remember now why I stopped playing last time as the fun quickly disappears as you literally have to work around the flaws but by doing that it ruins the experience.

I’m still excited for new Crazy Taxi but the AI bullshit has definitely put a dampener on it.

Epic Games is better than No Game. I’m looking forward to seeing how this one turns out.

Balatro

Definitely late to this party but I bought a GameSir X2S controller and have spent all week streaming games on my phone with it. Balatro has quickly become an all time favourite for me.

GTA Chinatown Wars

I also tried some emulation on Android and it works great so tried out a few PSP games as I’ve never owned a Sony handheld so thought why not.

Windjammers KOF '98 Neo Drift Out

I’ve been playing some Neo Geo recently too :D

I’m interested in First Light but not enough to buy it yet.

My Card Is Better Than Your Card

Fun times :/
