~ Game Over ~
Mighty Morphin Power Rangers: Rita’s Rewind (Switch) – I’d been listening to the (excellent) soundtrack lately, and it reminded me how much I enjoyed the game. So I gave it another run. Apparently it’s been significantly polished up since launch, but I didn’t notice much difference aside from the (seemingly pointless) new level-up system.
Resident Evil 3 (PS5) – Sometimes you’ve gotta set it to Assisted mode and just have a good time. Got myself an S rank, even. With a measly two minutes to spare!
The Last Train: Baquedano (Switch) – A surreal cat-and-mouse horror game where you’re trying to escape a train station while a killer stalks you. It’s strange and a little difficult at first because it doesn’t give you any direction, but once you figure out your goal, it’s actually pretty thrilling. Also, might just be a meme game – I’m not sure, I’m too old.
Fray Fight (PC) – A Vampire Survivors-like game with a Norse mythology theme, I have no idea how it ended up in my Steam library. But I played it for about two hours, saw basically everything is has to offer, and then called it done forever.
Frontier Hunter: Erza’s Wheel of Fortune (PC) – Bought this metroidvania because the trailer made me think of a more light-hearted Bloodstained. That’s a roughly accurate way to put it, though Frontier Hunter is somewhat less polished, but offers a surprisingly deep character customization system. It’s also kinda boringly easy for the first third, but then ramps up to pretty good. Good enough to spend a little extra time earning all the achievements, even.
Kirby’s Return to Dream Land Deluxe (Switch) – Played through the base game, not sure of what is new or not because it’s been so long since I played the original release. Immediately got started on Extra mode, and have poked around in Merry Magoland just a bit.
~ Now Playing ~
After much deliberation, I am changing this section back from “Progress Notes” to “Now Playing” because sometimes I play games not to make progress, but just for fun. Not that anyone was really paying attention or cared about such a change.

Look, I’m not super proud of it, but I’ll be honest: I bought a Humble Bundle for the first time in many years. From the titles below, you may be able to hazard a guess at the bundle’s theme. And why I’m so very ashamed of myself.
