It is, but, damn it’s difficult. I have it on Lightly Broiled and did not make it past first level yet.

It’s notoriously difficult, but man is it fun. Don’t feel bad to select a lower difficulty for your first go

Was playing Detroit: Being Ian, I actually enjoyed it a lot. Enough for me to get the best endings across the board and Connor didn’t even die once.

Don’t you dare edit that. It’s great just the way it is.

I have no intention of editing it, especially because the way I wrote the title was intentional.

Animated kids show, I am surprised you don’t know given it is Canadian.
Growing up the ABC and network channels used to love getting Canadian animated series for syndication with some American ones as well.

Weird.
I remember the theme song to this, but I never watched this when I was young. Maybe it was just never on at times when I had access to the TV.

For $1, buy it anyway! Go play at a friends who has a PC or maybe later in life you’ll switch to PC (I am not suggesting switching 
) or maybe you’ll just buy a cheapo PC to play it someday.

Spelunky 2 is creeping up the rankings on my Total Hours Played list on Steam. It’s the game I keep going back to for palate cleansing sessions between WoA mission runs.

I’ve been really enjoying the current 7-day trial for Mario + Rabbids Kingdom Battle on the Switch.
As a crossover IP, it’s such a bonkers, out-of-left field concept, but Ubisoft pulled it off really well. Both in tactical gameplay and in having an imaginative world/set-up.
I’m not really a fan of the Rabbids’ slapstick, chaotic humour but it’s enjoyable enough here.
The gameplay is very XCOM-styled, so says the public. I’ve never played an XCOM though, but this style of gameplay is great fun. You move characters across a grid to take cover. You can shoot (yes, Mario has a gun/blaster!) enemies and use teammates to traverse farther or higher on the playing field.
The cover system is great, as you always know what kind of luck you’ll be facing. You’re either 0% protected. 50^ protected with half-walls. Or 100% protected with full walls.
The game is divided into multiple sections of battles in many different chapters (dunno how many so far), with some entertaining cutscenes throughout. The death of Rabbid Kong is my favourite so far. There is a lingering “Easy Mode” button before every battle, which heals your team to 150% health – but it’s totally optional, so you can always ignore it if you want a challenge (or use it if you’re stuck on a section).
The story itself is surprisingly – meaty – for a Mario-Nintendo-adjacent title of today. The game opens with a fully-voiced cutscene involving some child prodigy and her super-advanced gadgets. Then the Rabbids show up not long after – with Lore threads too! They arrive in a Washing Machine Time Machine from the 4th Rabbids game – and after hijinks ensue, they break space and time, sending them and the world of Mario and Friends colliding.
So, the whole adventure is set in a backdrop of a surreal fantasy world, twisted with Mario elements, giant building blocks, or sponges, or any old household item. And it’s up to some Mario characters and some Cosplaying Rabbids to turn everything back to normal.
There’s just a few days left on the trial, but damnit, this is a really great game, and Ubisoft was very smart as to make this a free Switch Online trial just as they begin promotion on the sequel. So, I’m sure I’ll be buying this game on this deep sale, and keep my eyes peeled on the sequel’s success.

Mario kingdom rabbids is by far the weirdest game that turned out extremely good. Charming animation, a fun story and great gameplay!

Pac-Man Museum+ is pretty enjoyable.
It’s a collection of Pac-Man games that have been been released over the decades. I played the first one a lot online during keyboarding class in high school and but I didn’t really know much about the myriad releases through the years. They are basically the same at their core but there are surprising differences. For example, one that’s quickly becoming a favorite is a pseudo 3D version of the original where you also have the ability to jump the ghosts (I forget what it’s called off the top of my head).
Anyway, all in all pretty fun way to kill a few minutes here and there and/or to fill a short gaming session during a busy afternoon.
