State of Play

Absolutely down for a new Lumines game! Especially with a Tetris Effect flavour. Also intrigued by Hirogami - its giving me Tearaway vibes. Sword of the Sea aka Totally Not A Journey Sequel Honest got an August 19th release date, & Ghost of Yotei has a gameplay deep dive coming next month. More Astro Bot challenge levels, which I'm sure will be great as soon as the game drops to an affordable price.

Also that official PlayStation fight stick looks cool.

Cool that Myst & Riven are showing up in the classics catalogue but I ain't paying for PS+, when I have them on my damn phone. Though I assume they'll be purchasable separately so that might be cool if they don't overcharge.

Love that Pragmata ended its trailer with a post-it note saying "it's real". They have definitely heard all the people going 'hey remember that trailer for that weird Capcom game that showed up in that one showcase years ago that felt more like a concept than a game, is that even a real game that's happening?'

That was it for me, but it was pretty packed & there were a bunch of games that I know others are excited for, & I'm happy for them. Some really wild concepts in there - wtf is even going on in Romeo is a Dead Man & Sea Remnants (I think - couldn't read the title on that one)? - & it's always nice to see games trying something different.
