Just want to chime in as someone that has played both:

Both games have a nostalgic longing for games of the 90s, but that is about the only similarity between them!

Sea of Stars is charming, but I'd say it doesn't hold a candle to Tunic. Still worth checking out as it's on Game Pass, but I just wanted to bring another opinion to the table

Controller is just fine for our 4-player party. Having played Divinity on PC, I know kb+m will be easier but I didn't think controller was particularly restrictive.

The tutorial segment is very weird for Remnant. My partner died before the 'final stand' segment of it (and before she had even seen all the control prompts) and she was shown the cutscene and dropped off at the Ward!

The game is definitely Souls-lite, and some of the bosses can be brutal (I have not finished my first run of the game, for reference), but I found it to be a fun time with friends. And it appears number 2 dials things up and addresses some of my issues with the game.

This batch of games feels so incredibly specific for me. I've just got through the bulk of Starfield and I'm looking forwards to playing other games alongside it, so this is the perfect batch to get lost in for the next few weeks!

We got Love Letter: Jabba's Palace to the table! We didn't actually play though as we were busy talking, oops!

Haha I came to post this after doing this at work on a VM.

Our usual players were moving house this week, so they were pretty occupied! I was worried this meant that no games at all this week, but some other friends came round for Bonfire Night, and they brought Cascadia.

I haven't played before, but I have heard of parallels to Calico, and I can see why! I think Cascadia has another layer of gameplay to it that made it a more enjoyable experience for me. Whilst the interactivity was very low (hate drafting being the only way to do anything), it was interesting watching the other players shoot for different objective sets.

Fun time, but took us longer than it should because we kept getting distracted!

Depending on the end user though, it isn't just a band-aid. DLSS can help add new life to aging cards and prolong their life for a user that may not be in a position to drop money on a new card.

Not everyone is coming to the table with the latest hot and fresh systems to hit the most technically demanding games and DLSS helps them get those most out of their rigs.

I love how broken all the civilisations are in CE!

And absolutely love Radlands! A very tightly designed game without much overhead!

A smaller, more focused group this week! This meant Gloomhaven: JOTL again! My partner and I got engaged earlier in the week, so we chatted too much to finish it in one session - so our friends came back on Saturday to finish it off!

It didn't actually take us too long to finish the encounter, so we played a game of Mondo. This is a ridiculous real-time tile laying game in which you're trying to 'close out' biomes on your board. Always good fun and super accessible!

I had a brief panic that I had booked a hotel for the wrong weekend, but I've just checked and I'm okay!

This'll be my first UKGE! Very excited!

 

I've yet to run a game of Blades, but I'm constantly waiting to jump on the opportunity.

What supplemental resources do you like to use for your games? Any particular playlists? Maps of Duskvol?

 

I was putting my collection back together after redecorating over the weekend and noticed a distinct lack of worker placement games in my collection!

We've played (and enjoyed!) Architects of the West Kingdom and Tiny Epic Dinosaurs in the past, but both belong to a friends collection and don't want to overlap with them.

What worker placement games do you own and enjoy?
