I’ve been trying to finish up Backpack Hero, now that, after some meandering, I finally figured out how to progress the story mode. In a game all about UI, it’s kind of impressive how much the UI either isn’t very good or just breaks on a functional level, but the game is very fun. After I finish it, I’ll be heading back to Starfield and Wargroove 2.

Guilty Gear Strive also got a really great new patch, adding Elphelt and addressing some pretty glaring problems with the new mechanics they added. It feels like it’s in the best spot it’s ever been in.
