A Cat & His Boy
Game-boy styled, basically a children’s game. Easy to follow story, small map, it’s perfect for gamers starting out, or people who want to reminiscence about the good old days. Was nice until it lasted, but not really an oustanding game because of its own limitations (length, graphics, music), despite being made with lots of care. Was an SG win from Gelweo.
Clair Obscur: Expedition 33

Finished the story, still collecting energy to carry on with postgame stuff. Workload and a recent sickness made it difficult. Also as it often happens with the end of a big RPG, it’s really hard to find one’s place, and return to the game (or go on to a new one). Was an SG win from xxxka.
Firewatch

Really nice almost-walking-sim game, with actual gameplay, and great pacing. There is backstory, there are actual, real time events, there are dialogues, and there’s a reason for doing the rounds. Nice music, beautiful environments. Not an action game by any definition, but it was really nice to play it on the Deck.
Legends of Savvarah: Children of the Sun
store page
Interesting visual novel in a “world” that’s ripe for unreliable narrators and sensitive topics - Rich and plentiful empire in the middle of nowhere; godlike ruler who’s both hated and loved, depending on who you ask; questionable history and vilified outsiders; and a race created to serve, in war as soldiers or as house-slaves. Many achievements for repeated runs and choices, different endings through narrative web and choices. The dev has multiple games in the universe that are supposed to have referential connections maximum, and are standalones. While VN is not my favourite genre at all, the worldbuilding was compelling and got a lot more interesting as I played further - I may look out for the other games too.
Was an SG win from Ateszmadman.
PowerWash Simulator Shrek DLC, Wallace and Gromit DLC

It’s a good way to pass time with my GF, while we listen to a podcast. Not even I’m convinced that Powerwash Simulator is a “good game”, but it’s really good to pass time, if one’s looking for doing that.
Activated games: 3 (of which 2 is SG wins)
bought:
Powerwash Sim DLC x2 - finished
Warhammer 40,000: Rogue Trader pack for Voidfarer and Deluxe content (That OST!)
Bought Core Keeper + Smalland for GF as well for future multiplayer
Bought 5 games for 3€ at Build your own Spring Bundle (2026), which is a big questionable, as I haven’t activated anything yet. But Cape Hideous and The Space-Eating Croc looked interesting and short to balance out the purchase for me quite fast. Eventually they’ll :)
I’ve been hearing about Firewatch for a long time but first time about Legends of Savvarah, both your descriptions looks intriguing.
Also wish you a good recovery !
I really enjoyed my time with Firewatch. The graphics are highly stylized but so well-done. Having traveled that part of the world a few summers ago, I was impressed with how much the game brought me back there. I was disappointed with the ending (I guess the last third of the game overall), but not enough to stop me enjoying the experience as a whole :)
