There's not a lot of hooks. It's fun in the moment and then once you're done with a run, there's not really that urge to fire it back up and take another run. Maybe that's just because I'm starting with a relatively new save, maybe more stuff unlocks. Tiny Rugs is also a very quote light roguelike approach, it's an action roguelike. But the graphics are very simple and almost one bit level graphics,. There's a ton of unlockable characters and weapons to unlock and combos and stuff like that. So yeah, no, they've been really good on that front.
Marvel's Midnight Suns is a tactics game from XCOM developer Firaxis, only instead of shooting aliens a hundred times from behind cover, you play cards to beat ass with your best friend, Blade. This is, objectively, a very good idea, but how well does the rest of the game hold up? Also, what's on our backlog as we approach the GOTY proceedings?
