(

Mixes cards into a roguelike (you place the cards to make your own play area & monster spawns as you go) in a way that hasn't really been done before (that I've seen)*, but seems like a pretty obvious idea that evidently does the trick. The first reason I like it is because I made up my own Magic TG variant for some fan rules site that was a lot like the core idea here; so I'm glad somebody took the idea and made something of it. (But FWIW, it's also good to use Magic cards to do this for a solo game.)
*Edit: The reviews for that game are pointing out that there are actually a lot of games that do this. But they still seem to all agree that this is the one that perfects the model anyway.

Just finished my second playthrough of Golf Story, went searching for news on what the devs are doing next, and was surprised to see they've already announced their next game and I'd somehow missed it!

Very epic! Looks like the same characters as in the first game, but with a slight re-design. But oh no, what's THIS?

Oh no! Ok, that was 6 months ago. No news since. I hope Sidebar Games is doing well and they haven't bitten off more than they can chew. I will maintain my current levels of HYPE until further notice.

aww hope its ok, I loved Golf Story, probably my favorite Switch game.

Yes!!! Mine as well. Recently I've been sitting down to play it right after work and there is such a feeling of wellbeing that runs through me when I do. Golf Story is good for my soul.

Yes, I really liked Golf Story too, although I never completely finished it. Guessing you don't even have to be a fan of golf to enjoy it. I'd definitely be interested in the sequel.

Adios is game where you're a pig farmer who decides he's done disposing bodies for the mob. Their hitman comes out to the farm and tries to talk some sense into you.

It comes out tomorrow.

I haven't bought that Adios thing but it seems to be doing well with the Steam players.
New trailer for the game I am most HYPED for just dropped:

I don't know if a game could appeal to me more if it tried.

I have to say that I'm really looking forward to this:

I'm not entirely sold on the art design yet (there are times when it seems very effective and others when it just looks a bit amateurish), but I'm curious - plus it takes place in my favourite region in Switzerland and I'm curious to see how well it captures the feel of the place.
Edit: Oh, and this, obviously:

I was going to get started on Tyranny (since I'm about to finish replaying Everyone's Gone to the Rapture), but I think I'll play Mundaun instead and will then replay Disco Elysium, telling myself that I'll do everything differently this time before proceeding to doing everything exactly the same.
