Many years ago my dear Nintendo DS Lite was stolen from me. A few years later I bought a refurbished one since new units were not available any more. There's two reasons I had to get a new NDS Lite, two reasons I still use it to this day.

Picross and Picross 3D.

This game is the second best Picross 3D I've yet come across, second only to the NDS game. If you, like me, loved the original Picross 3D, get this game.

10 hours in, I really like this game. Running on normal difficulty and taking my time exploring, reading all the lore bits and just enjoying the scenery. Fights are quick and quite intense sometimes. Died quite a few times as well :) But you quickly find your way back to the fight again.

Some stuff in the game you have to figure out for yourself, but I don't mind that at all. Weapons for example, you just try different types and see what works best for you and kills the various enemies the fastest. And there's usually no need to buy many of the items since both armour and weapons drop from the enemies from time to time. Or you find them while exploring. And some items you get as quest rewards.

Ammo for your regular weapons is (so far) unlimited, which is a big plus for me in games like this. The various powerful augmentations and tactical accessories do have their own power requirements, so you can't just spam those against harder enemies.

The environments are just fantastic. Lots of details, plenty of people walking around everywhere, it feels very much alive. I'm running the game on an ancient i5-4670K with 16GB RAM and a Radeon RX 5700 XT, 1920x1200 display, all settings autodetected as highest except for the ones my gfx card doesn't support of course. It's running very smoothly, no major hickups so far.

And the music is very, very good. Really. It lifts the game to the next level. This is one of the very few games I purchased the OST for, well worth it and you get both mp3 and flac versions. It's available on Spotify as well, but the devs really deserve the extra support.

People mention a lot of bugs in their comments, but so far I've seen none of them. Some of the bugs seem to be multiplayer related, but I haven't tried that yet so can't comment on that for now. So try the game for yourself, you might be one of the lucky bugfree ones like me as well ;)

This is how you do a VR addition to a game. Every single table that you already have in your collection is available in VR as well. And they look amazing in VR. The other big Pinball franchise on Steam aren't as generous with their (abandoned?) VR effort... Show your support to this great developer and get the VR version as well :)

I get some stuttering from time to time, but I blame that on my ancient CPU (i5-4670K), not on my GPU (Radeon RX 5700 XT). Using Valve Index and the controls are working fine.

Great pinball game, covering all kinds of tables from old to modern. Great in VR as well. And for achievement hunters, I think there's close to 5000 to be won in this game ;0

This is quite a nice little Minesweeper game. I've played the first 20 levels plus some levels created with the random level generator and I'm really enjoying it. It's very casual, the difficulty level so far is easy (Beginner levels). The game play and the controls should be easy to grasp for most people.

Once you get used to the controls it's a very good and relaxing game.

I found a soap box race car high up on a mountain road. Was laughing all the way down until I ran out of downhill road. No problem! Tether soap box race car to random passing car, jump in, continue with the fun. Until I somehow lost control of it and it exploded... Oh how I love this game!

NOTICE ME SENPAI!!!

So what can be said about this game that hasn't been said before? Bääääh? Or perhaps määääh? Well, incredibly fun in short sessions. Sit down with a friend and try to do as crazy stuff as possible, plenty of laughs will be the result. Recommend!
