I can second all of these. Generation zero is the only one I didn't enjoy much but I suspect it's a lot better with friends.

The rest are fab, I'm currently playing Kena it's like Pixar/ Disney meets dark souls. Beautiful game, has these little critters which follow you around called rot who are super cute and you can put hats on them.

Control is just excellent. The combat feels great and for me the whole game was worth playing just for the Ashtray maze sequence.

We really need a big push into bacteriophage research I think. Get the bugs all killing each other so we can keep our antibiotics for emergencies.

My wife was playing Ori around its release, we both got stuck on the first tree escape, where it floods. Absolutely massive difficulty spike for a relatively chill game to that point. Beautiful game though and I love the sound track.

I love the STALKER games, the atmosphere is absolutely top notch. The section where you have to go into the lair of the invisible dudes was terrifying. I remember meeting my first one, before going into the tunnels, and losing half my health in its first attack, I fought it standing on top of a tractor because they couldn't climb thankfully.

That's brutal.

And party on dudes!

The Wii brought gaming to the general public in a way nothing else had. Like most modern Nintendo consoles it was under powered and gimmicky but the gimmick worked so well for people new to gaming, point at the TV or wiggle the controller as you would to do the thing in real life was a huge step to making an abstract concept make sense to people. For longer gaming sessions or more "serious" games the Wii controls were generally lacking but damn if Wii sports wasn't good fun.

Yup, I make a conscious effort to look after myself more now since I burned out from work a while back. I cycle to and from work, journal regularly (I started with Mind Journal and follow that format), walk my dog (and having a dog in general is great for self care). I make time to spend with friends and try to be present in the moment and enjoy the little things. I also make sure I go home on time from work, take my holidays and don't take on more than I can manage.

Swallowing problems can be serious, you should see a doctor urgently.

It is, they changed it a while back.

I love in Pompeii you can follow the dicks on the cobbles to the brothel, brilliant advertising.

I love how many dicks have been drawn in historical artifacts by the people who built them. I remember reading about an engraving at the very top of an old column which the building was too unstable to get close enough to see for a long time. I think when they got up there and translated it it said something like "this is very high". It's nice to know people have always been people.

Not sure it fits as it's souls with guns, so missing the spectacle fighter element, but it's definitely worth a look. They are both excellent games. I love the core loop they've got, the shooting feels excellent.

On this sort of line maybe Metal Gear Rising Revengence could be worth a look.

Check out Furi.

It's a flashy boss rush style game. A bit bullet hell a bit brawler. Might scratch that itch for you.

You could also try Sifu, it's got really slick skill based combat and interesting bosses.

I adore the walking dead games, they totally spoiled the TV show for me as the characters were soo much better. Lee and Clem at the end of the first game was such an emotional gut punch, one of the few times a game made me cry.

Making friends as an adult is still hard even without depression. It is easier to be in touch with existing friends when not depressed though.

Traffic lights tend to leave me with feelings of frustration if anything.

I don't have existential dread in the mornings just the usual "joy" of having to go to work.

It's so simple but genuinely words to live by.
