Junes Games: Cave Story (PC/Switch/Wii/3DS) Pikuniku (PC/XB1/Switch/Stadia) F.I.S.T.: Forged in Shadow Torch (PC/PS4/PS5) What is Game of the Month Club? Game of the Month is a community project open to all B8ers where users share, discover, play and/or discuss a select few games every month. The games featured each month are chosen by YOU the users (and Lady Luck) The Basics - Each month will usually feature three games that were chosen via a random drawing from a pool of games that users nominated - For each game you beat, you get a cool point on our just-for-fun standings as well as a nomination for next month's randomized drawing - In order to receive the point and nomination, you must beat said game within the calendar month - If you beat one of the current month's games in the previous month, you can apply for a "recently beaten waiver," but you will only receive a point and no nomination should you do so - Drawing for next month's games is usually on the 25th - If you periodically keep us posted on your progress and/or talk about different aspects of the games, then everyone will think you are super awesome! Nomination Rules - You get one nomination automatically each month - You receive additional nominations each month for every featured game that you beat - Each game you nominate has to be unique from all other nominations and cannot include a game that has already been selected for GotM - Each game must be a standalone game that can be acquired and played on its own (aka cannot be DLC/expansion that requires the base game) - Nominations only carry over if you beat a featured game after the drawing for next month's games but before the end of the month - You have 9 supports you can use throughout the year. Your only limitations are that you can't support your own nomination, and you can only use one support per game per month --- KCF can't actually be a real person but he is - greengravy ...

About 45% of the way through FIST, according to the game completion. It's been all right so far. Not as good as the last couple of Metroidvania's I've played, but definitely interesting and good enough to keep my attention. Of course, part of the reason I'm not as in to it is me being terrible at combos when playing games. Also, not sure how the PS4/5 ports are, but the PC port performs pretty rough at times. And that's coming from someone who thought Bloodstains Switch port was fine on release. Edit: These games need to start giving me a way to mark things on the map. --- https://backloggery.com/zayakza ... Copied to Clipboard!

Pikuniku beated! To be honest, I wasn't exactly sure what this game was, other than being a short indie game on my copious backlog. Turns out, it's a fine, serviceable puzzle platformer.

KCF has beaten Pikuniku There really isn't much more to say than I did the first time that I beat this a few years ago. It's goofy brand of humor is right up my alley, and the physics are equally fun and goofy, though they probably should have done away with anything requiring precision. --- KCF can't actually be a real person but he is - greengravy ...

Cave Story beated! Still a very good game. Maybe the next time I play it I'll remember to save Curly and see the true final boss. Of course by that point my dexterity and patience will have atrophied even further...

I will definitely play Paperball and Maneater. I just went through Tunic in April/May, and that is the kind of game that I would want to have multi-year breaks before playing again.
