Yes, I know we're all playing PbP tabletop games. But what about other games? Board, card, video and/or computer? Let's hear 'em!
Personally, I'm more than slightly obsessed with two indie releases on the Switch lately.
The first is Steamworld Heist. I'd already played Steamworld Quest, which is a solid card-based RPG with a funny little story; good, but not anything to write home about, really. But Steamworld Heist adds a fascinating twist: instead of it being a normal RPG, it's a turn-based tactical shooter with geometry-based mechanics for shooting. Picture XCOM and Snood combined, throw in some solid humor, and it's a game well worth your time and investment.
The second one is Cthulu Saves Christmas. I mean, just the title alone should be enough to get you to cough up the ten bucks for it, but in case you need more reason than that, here you go: it's a turn-based RPG that looks like an DS-era Dragon Quest remake with a cool town-building/relationship-building section throw in, a la Fire Emblem: Three Houses. Beyond that, it's got a very cool twist on the battle system (no more smashing Attack endlessly, I promise you) featuring adjustable difficulty levels throughout. Finally, the real icing on the cake is it is funny. Like, really funny. I smiled at the Steamworld games; I laughed out loud at this one.
So what about you, TTWer? What are you playing these days?
