Not a full recommendation, but Pronty was a nice small metroidvania. It was a nice inbetween game while waiting for larger games to play.

• You control your character and your weapon independently
• There is very little platforming as you can swim into any direction
• Enemy designs and environments were interesting in the earlier half. Environments were a bit uninspiring later on
• Took me around 8h to fully clear (excluding highest difficulty mode)

Plastic cutting boards are sadly the cheaper and less work requiring option for restaurants/ largr kitchens. Wood just doesn’t survive going through an industrial dishwasher that many times and nobody is going to hand wash 10+ wood boards a day. I haven’t properly looked into what plastic our kitchen’s plastic boards are, but it seems to be more durable than the usual home ones.

Seems like they have refined a lot of mechanics originating from World. Hopefully slinger won’t have the same softening mechanic as in Iceborn. Switching to secondary weapon might be awkward with armor sets usually specialising.

They have also uploaded two more info videos; one on focus mode and one on Greatsword. Guessing that more weapon showcases are coming up this week/month. Greatsword additions look dope. I’m eagerly waiting for my mains Hunting Horn and Gunlance to show up.

2025 seems to be what they are sticking with. One of the consolde devs slipped up and talked about november for closed? beta

I can recommend Magic Survival. Came out before Vampire Survivors, but has been worked on slower. Runs usually last from 16?min (normal) to 30min (endless). Game autosaves occasionally during runs so you can continue later on. English translation varies in quality, but everything can be understood imo.

Has revive with an ad once per run and another ad sometimes when ending a run. Leveling classes is slow, but can be sped up by spending real money. Personally I’m fine with the slow progression, but others may not like it.
