Skies of Fury DX. Polished and fun, but not to be binged on imo. I'll probably do single chapters between other games. Not a clue how the hell this worked on mobile phones.

Looks great too, and I've had no stutters undocked.  

How's Ori treating you, @Dark Soldier?

Edit: Does that still work as an @ with the space?

It doesn't work full stop for me, I'm happy to say.

Whereas myself and Matt_82 do not.

Not played any more Moot, been busy recently, but I'm defo heading back to it once back home

Or not. More Bayonetta 2 it is.

Just unlocked the third and fourth areas in Baba is You. It's killing me, I'm doing the bare minimum required to advance but it's not like I'm not trying to do more, I just keep exhausting all other possibilities. Everything feels unpossible until the second it clicks, and some solutions still feel like a big ask when broken down. Clearly a very good game, bit not something I'm enjoying per se. I can happily smash my head against a brick wall until it breaks in a platformer but waiting for the penny to drop in such a devious puzzle game is excruciating at times, and it's only going to get tougher.

It was meaning my brain hurt when I stopped to, on the edge of pain vs pleasure...

I had sessions where I barely made any progress and others where a string of puzzles just clicked. Towards the end I was just going from puzzle to puzzle of all the ones I had unsolved and spending 5 minutes on each, to see if anything came to me. But occasionally I'd end up staring at the same one for half an hour or so.

One thing though, there's an ending that opens up pretty early on. So you actually don't have to do very much to see the credits.

Was no Astro Boy for me, but definitely enjoyable. Quality mouse animation, enjoyable puzzles, strong fantasy setting.

Astro Bot, not Boy

It's got quite a strong pull though, even though I'm struggling I'm unexpectedly itching to play again.

I need to get back to the story with that, to get more laughs. Last time I played, I was getting distracted by the overwhelming amount of things to do.

Toejam & Earl: Back in the Groove.  It's a wee bit glitchy, on Switch at any rate, but there's not really much to disappoint anyone hoping for an updated version of the first game.  You wouldn't want to play alone, but I'm enjoying it in co-op.  I loved the original and consider the sequel one of the most underappreciated games of the 16-bit era, so I was always likely to go easy on a fan-service spruce up.  Thirty-odd years on and it still manages to be unlike anything else available.  Don't pay £17, but if you're tempted the current sale price (£10ish) feels about right, I've already got a couple of hours of nostalgia tinged fun out of it.

Since I don't really have anything to read right now I thought I'd try out Tearaway on the vita.

I'm not sure if playing this right before going to sleep is the way to go, seeing yourself at a weird angle, extra chin and all because you couldn't get the pillows in a comfortable heap (and because you're living in America now) and only being lit by the vita itself projected onto the sun ingame is quite disturbing. 

Other than that it seems to be pretty cute.
