What have you all been playing!
I finished Cairn which was excellent! Highly recommend. I also finally played and beat RE4R DLC Seperate Ways. Also excellent! I love that game!

Just started Withering Rooms today, a very unique horror roguelike with a great story, some superb world building and some janky ass combat.
Only 2-3 hours in but I am really liking what I see so far.
I’ve been itching for a rougelike for a while and this looks right up my alley in terms of vibes, but I’ll await your final veredict on the combat.
I’ve seen enough to tell you that this will be quite a whiplash after Sekiro, that’s for sure. This is more Dark Souls 1 than anything, although without the stamina. It’s slow, it’s clunky, you run away and kite a lot. If you unironically liked the combat in DS1 you might enjoy this.
But that being said, I think there is also a bit of a design choice in making the combat clunky and difficult. You’re playing as a 14-year-old girl and it’s a horror game. Enemies are supposed to be scary. You’re not supposed to easily go toe to toe with everything.
Though in fairness I’ve also barely scratched the surface, and it looks like the game is both full of tools to use for combat and that this is the intention - use whatever you can to survive. Again goes with the horror. Spells, decoys, temporary invisibility, even a flamethrower according to the trailer. Plus hit and run attacks, hiding and backstabbing and so on.
We’ll see where I land on it, but so far the rest of the game has been so intriguing that I don’t mind the combat regardless.
