  "textContent": "Some people read about the hero, some people play as the hero. If you don't play video games, you have 2 choices: Suffer through my ramblings Realize you're missing out and give one of these a try Here's what we've been playing: Skate Story # You're a glass skateboarder stuck in the Underworld who has to skate to (get out?). A rad soundtrack, interesting visuals, and a weird story. Steam Wheel World # Ride a fixie through cell shaded worlds to a chill beat. Race others, discover stuff, collect things, and just take in the atmosphere. Steam Lego Voyagers # We loved Lego Builder's Journey , and this one has local co-op (our favorite). Play as 2 little Lego's who admire rocket ships and want to build one. Use your building skills and unravel the visually engaging and beautifully lit story. Steam Bubble Bobble Sugar Dungeons # We love retro games around here and got super pumped when we saw they were making a 2025 version of Bubble Bobble. BUT, we played Sugar Dungeons a few times and were disappointed it was single player. While it's fine… it's lacking some soul. It's just a bit bland and doesn't really tickle the nostalgia bug like we hoped. Steam Dorf Romantik (the Boardgame) # This house has played a lot of Dorf Romantik the video game. Everyone, young to old, feels satisfied with the cozy yet solitaire-like experience you get from this game. The board game does an AMAZING job of capturing the charm of the video game while combining it with the limitations of a board game. The board game is beautifully done, creating a compelling campaign arc, unlocks, and other exciting elements. Board Game Ball Pit # Whelp, we got super addicted to this one. Very arcade-like, super fun roguelike-style gameplay, and a fun gameloop. Super fun 5-20 minute sessions. Steam Just Shapes and Beats # Connect up to 4 controllers and dodge the shapes as they react to the beat. Each level is a full on custom visual beat experience to a track from a rad retro-bit playlist. All you gotta do is dodge stuff, you can move a stick right? Steam Curse Of The Dead Gods # Mix a little Hades with FTL and you've got yourself this roguelite. See how far you can get, do your best not to get hit, get some synergy in a sweet build, hack and slash your way to freedom. Steam",
