I ended up getting hooked on CloverPit this weekend. It’s a rogue-like slot machine game. Very addictive.

I started The Plucky Squire this weekend.  the drawn bits look great, I'd happily play a game that only looked like that.  The 3D parts are a bit rough in places, although also sufficiently impressive on the Switch2.  The gameplay itself kind of reminds me of Cocoon a bit, in that you'll often be hopping in and out of the book to carry items from one area to the next to solve some slight puzzling.  The gameplay itself is varied, if not very satisfying.  Still, I'm happy to have found a game that at least seems to be able to hold my interest.

Other than that I've been playing MKWorld in persuit of my son's score.  He's still about 300 points ahead of me, a gap that would have been much smaller if the game didn't penalize communication errors so harsh.  I've experienced 3 that cost me a total of about 250 points, which is the equivalent of coming in first about  5 times.  

The Duskbloods is created after an exceptionally long concept phase

11/24/25 - FromSoftware reportedly invested significantly more time in the gameplay concept phase of The Duskbloods than in previous productions. The project is said to have been released before 2019 and, according to Chinese journalist Giwin, has gone through an unusually long validation phase.

Giwin, who has provided accurate information about Elden Ring (PS5, Xbox Series, PS4, Xbox One, PC) in the past, says that The Duskbloods combines many innovative multiplayer mechanics. These include contracts, a kind of nemesis system and different victory conditions, which FromSoftware tests without adopting features from well-known genres such as Battle Royale or Extraction Shooter.
