I hope everyone had a good end of year/holiday season and I hope your 2025 can be off to a good start~ 🎮 If you have suggestions of games I should play after Indiana Jones or demos/short games I should try, let me know! I will be doing random videos on some Wednesdays and may do some extra game content and the occasional vlog, except the first Wednesday of the month where I will do my review videos! 🎮 Stay well, stay healthy, drink plenty of water, and do a little bit of daily exercise -- make sure to take care of yourself!
Hey! Awesome to see a new video :D Sorry I didn't leave a comment on the last one, I just couldn't think of anything in particular to say other than "I liked it". But I really am happy to see you continue! As for game recs, judging from the ones you cited, I think we have very different tastes, so I don't know how much you would like these, but I personally love story-focused small indie games with interesting art styles or concepts. If that sounds interesting to you, here's some of my faves: -Wandersong, Chicory, and Beastieball--These are all made by Wishes Unlimited studio, and full disclosure, I work for them in a support role, not a creative one, but I have been a fan for a really long time before I was hired and am always ready to hype them up. They are the kind of games that look fairly simple on the surface but then suck you in with incredibly tight, emotionally resonant writing, so if you want to dig deep into a story, I would definitely recommend these. Beastieball is currently in Early Access but story-complete, most of what is missing is animation assets and other small tweaks. -Chants of Sennaar-- A puzzle game centered around a Tower of Babel-esque scenario, you play as a stranger ascneding the tower and each level features its own society with its own language you need to decode in order to understand what's going on. As a language-lover I had an absolute blast with this one, but it might be brainy for people who are more interested in action than puzzles. -What Remains of Edith Finch-- a 3D exploration game where you return to your childhood home, a huge mansion with many strange rooms, and explore the pasts of your deceased family members. There is an INCREDIBLE amount of environmental detail in this one, so if you wanna spend time looking at lots of little items and exploring what that says about the world and story, this one is a top fave. There's more I could suggest but these are the ones that came to mind first, also I'm posting this early in the video so I might post another comment after I watch it :p
@@Quandtuniverse Thank you!! 😭 And omg thank you for all the recommendations! I have played Edith Finch and agree it is so good! I honestly love most styles of games, but lately I have been seeking out more smaller indie games. I totally added those other games you mentioned to my wishlist haha and I'll take a deeper look into them when I have some extra time, but they sound right up my alley! Honestly, it's hard to pinpoint my taste in games because looking at my Steam library and thinking to all the games I enjoy, it truly is all over the place
@@ElUnicoCocho Yes I've played Edith Finch and loved it!! And ngl Hellblade 2 totally intrigues me but I know I'm so chickenshit ahaha. I'm still trying to get through Death Stranding but I'm too scared to go into BT territory (if you know anything about the game). And I recently tried playing The Forest but got too scared and now I'm happily playing on peaceful mode with no enemies 💀 But when it's multiplayer and I can have a group of people, I'm mostly fine, like I used to play 7 Days to Die and DayZ sooo much a few years ago.
@@kajakatie If you're looking for smaller indie games maybe Ten Bells might be worth a look. It's an anomaly horror game so might not be your thing, but it's certainly atmospheric and interesting. Not too long either so good for YT playthroughs.
38:47 Lol, just got through the entire game not realising you could smash chests open like that. Guess I've got some searching to do on my secondary quest playthrough now 🔨💵
Oh no 😆 While it's a bit frustrating, I do love that the game doesn't just spoon-feed everything to players. It's more satisfying (in most cases, I think) to discover things on your own than to rely on a tutorial pop-up to always guide the way!
I hope everyone had a good end of year/holiday season and I hope your 2025 can be off to a good start~

I second "what remains of Edith finch" and if your PC is strong enough perhaps "Hellblade 2" if you like short, cinematic story games
@@Quandtuniverse Thank you!! 😭
