This one is great to see! Jackbox tactics thing. Interesting strategic options, mature client tools - like with the ability to point at tiles and view details, all enemy abilities, describe statuses. Well-rounded. I like the decision to have the same voice actor act all the characters without trying to sound entirely different - sounds like one non-voice-actor doing voices for all the NPCs.

I'm a nervous about long-term preservation, though - it requires smartphone apps (iOS and Android) and needs the devs' server to connect them to your game. Easy to play either through video streaming or in person, at least.

A polished survive-em-up! Incorporates DRG weapons / enemies well. Challenging, but between grinding persistent upgrades, improving in skill, and rolling well, the scope expands as the challenge remains. High ceiling on this one. Steam Deck can struggle performance-wise somewhat, but I haven't had it bad enough to interfere significantly with gameplay.

Good survivor game! Great to have the multiplayer option; I haven't seen that elsewhere. I really like the soundtrack.

Twitchy, and with a default mouse sensitivity that's way too high for my purposes, but a hectic and entertaining 1v1 that reminds me of Half-Life Deathmatch. Satisfying sounds. The sliding is good. I expect it has a very high skill ceiling.

This is full of interesting riddles, a drip-feed of lore, and a strangely compelling typing-combat where each letter of an ability costs you currency. I'm having great fun playing through this with a friend.

This is tough! Generally feels fair - challenging, but doable. Items that upgrade abilities offer interesting tradeoffs or at least feel satisfying. Druid is... we don't talk about druid.

Good party game with friends! High skill ceiling, but still fun when starting too.

This is physics-based, and so has depth and a high skill ceiling. The flatscreen version - for players other than the giant - is free.

You may have heard of the stories this game can create. Perhaps even you were scared off by the impenetrable text interface like I was. It's still not... great, but it's doable with the wiki at hand. This is similar to Factorio in that there's a lot to keep an eye on, and always something to build or improve. It quickly grabbed me.

Great co-op experience! Compelling setting, story that provides goals and motivation without being intrusive, and nuanced combat.
