What we've been playing
Hello! Welcome back to our regular feature where we write a little bit about some of the games we’ve found ourselves playing over the last few days. This time: more coat hangers, a classic RPG with a twist, and a grim future war.
Also! Please meet Paolo Balmes, who joins the moderation team. We asked him to tell us a bit about himself.
“Hi everyone, my name is Paolo Balmes but you can call me Paolo or Pao. I love sports, from basketball, football, AMERICAN Football as well as the UFC and pro-wrestling.
“I am an avid fan of both heavy metal and rap especially acts like Tech N9ne, Epica, Nightwish, Body Count and Slipknot.
“As for my favorite videogame genres I love games like the Total War series, StreetFighter, Crusader Kings, Rainbow Six Siege, both the Persona and SMT series and of course the Resident Evil series.”
If you fancy catching up on some of the older editions of What We’ve Been Playing, here’s our archive.
I see a lot of my life in Unpacking. It’s not the same as the person’s whose life you follow in the game, but it has similar moments. I expect you’ll all feel this in Unpacking, which is what makes it such a powerful little game. It made me relive house-sharing. It made me relive having someone move in with me, and the negotiation of space that followed. It made me relive arranging all of my son’s toys in his room, while he was at school, so it would look like a huge battle had taken place when he got home. I know – dad of the year material. And it made me relive starting again, when life took a turn.
