Quick thoughts:

Dungeons of Hinterberg

9/10

I loved this game. It is a dungeon crawler mixed with socializing with NPC’s. Magic started to show in world by opening dungeons full of monsters and riddles, and people started to commercialised them, because OF COURSE we would do that. And now game’s protagonist is going on holiday in Austrian Alps - mixed with some monster hunting. Every day we go on a trip, find dungeons, which a hand crafted and full of environmental riddles and monster (no procedural generation this time), and in the evening, we are spending time with one of the other people in village we are staying in (Like in Persona, but without time limit - here you can actually befriend everyone). It’s perfect mix of cosy, head scratching, and easy fighting.

Breakneck

5/10

Simple game - you ride a spaceship through dystopian wasteland, there is big bad alien spaceship behind you, when it catch you, game over. Every day new map is generated, and there are high scores among players. It was alright for some quick bursts while listening to podcasts, but nothing more.

Dome Keeper

8/10

A game that started new genre. you dig resources, upgrading your base with those resources and have to survive waves of monsters. The more resources you are taking to base, the slower you are, so you need to decide between speed and capacity. It’s extremely addicting and have some nice variety in game modes.

Figment 2: Creed Valley

8/10

Isometric game focused on fighting, with some light puzzles mixed. Everything is happening inside mind of a person - very Inside out style, and the player is playing as embodiment of courage - fighting things like fear of darkness. It’s also a musical, because why not. It’s just more of the fun from the first game, if you liked first one, you like this.
