Anyone have any comments about this year's Jingle Jam games? Here are the ones I've played/own:

  • TABS - not my thing, but it's done well
  • SUPERHOT - fantastic
  • Beyond Blue - pretty fun if you like swimming and taking pictures of ocean life, otherwise there's not much else to it
  • Slap City - haven't played it
  • Battlestar Galactica - forgot I owned it, like cool

And... that's it! Which is pretty surprising since I have tons of games from bundles. That said, I'm interested in the following:

  • Aces and Adventures - card games are cool, and it has good reviews
  • The Entropy Center - I like puzzle games
  • A Short Hike
  • Marble World - might be fun to play with my kids
  • Death and Taxes
  • Slice of Sea - I like good point&click games, and it has good reviews
  • Tinytopia - have seen previously, but never picked it up
  • Train Valley 2 - I might have it on Epic, IDK

What games stand out to you? Do you think you'll pick it up? I've passed a lot in the past, but the years lineup looks interesting enough that I might get it.

I have Death and Taxes on Switch, it's a fun little game that's definitely worth playing if you get the bundle.

I've played a bit of Superhot on VR, and it's one I'd definitely pick up if I ever get an Index, but I'm honestly not that interested in if it's not VR, it's not a genre I usually play.

I've got A Short Hike on my wishlist, that looks good, and some of the colony sim games look entertaining.

Slap City is a brilliant super smash style brawler. I play it couch coop a lot, it's always a blast. Very well made.
