Steam World: Heist. Tactical turn based shooter. Somewhere between Worms and X-Com, definitely on the lighter side. It’s the same vibe as Steam World 1 and 2, but now the cowboy robots are in space. It’s perfect for the Deck and easy to pick up for a few minutes at lunch or in between meetings.
Remnant 2. I watched Iron Pineapple’s review back when it released and got excited. It went on sale a couple weeks ago and I convinced several friends to get it. It’s been great. I’m just getting to the point where I can play around with different builds. The set pieces look great and the writing and lore has surprising depth, especially for a co-op shooter.
Mostly Inkbound. 2 friends suggested it on the same day a couple weeks ago so I gave it a shot. It kind of feels like turn based Hades. There’s enough RNG to keep things interesting, and enough choice to let you explore different builds.
Also playing KeyWe with my girlfriend. It’s a series of mini games where you play as kiwi birds in a post office. Some of the tasks can feel tedious and the mechanics could use some polish, but overall it’s a good co-op game with cute animals and outfits.
Heist has a story and preset levels. Each level is usually a different ship you have to board and clear. They’re all connected by a sort of star map. The objectives for each level are preset. Though, the level layouts may be generated. I’ve rerun a couple and I remember the layouts being a bit different.
SteamWorld Dig 1&2 are platformers. I really enjoyed them. The gameplay for Heist is different but it still feels like the same quality.
