Hey all! Welcome back to the monthly weekly gaming thread! So, what have you been playing this last month?
I’ve been on quite a few things! Saros, Mario galaxy 2, some other stuff!
I also recently started Abiotic Factor which is a super fun co op survival game that takes a ton of inspiration from the original half life. It’s awesome! Def recommend if you have some friends to run it with
The new Moomin game is very chill (pun intended)
Also playing a lot of Below the Crown, which is a chess based roguelike from the developers of Duskers
Ah, and rolled credits on Pragmata!
Is there a new one or the Melody of Moominvalley? That’s actually been on my wishlist for a bit, I grew up on Tova Jansson and it has great reviews too.
There’s a new one: https://store.steampowered.com/app/3256150/Moomintroll_Winters_Warmth/
Snufkin is also good
Ah damn, I had no idea! Which one would you say is better?
so far I like the winter vibe much more, though they are pretty equal gameplay-wise (as there’s not much of it)
Noted! I might pick them up at some point if I need a cozy game. Also, talking about this again makes me want to go dig up my old copy of Who Will Comfort Toffle?. Was my absolute comfort book as a kid, favourite bedtime story.
I loved (well, still love) the more melancholic ones, Moominvalley in November and Moominland Midwinter are probably my favorite ones. I’ve also recently finished the 90s Moomin anime, it did wonders for my post-work tired brain
Yeah I also prefer those. Tove Jansson was such a great writer.
And also I know that show! Well, “vaguely remember” is probably more correct. I used to watch it as a kid, but I haven’t since then. I wonder what I’d think about it nowadays.
