Gamestonk Simulator: Gone Rogue enters the increasingly crowded job and shop simulator space by placing players in charge of a struggling video game store. The premise carries some entertaining twists, including questionable neighbors with mafia undertones and a steady stream of amusing fake game titles scattered throughout the experience. Top of the features might be using a choncla (flip flop sandle) to hit shoplifters and get your stolen merchandise back. ...

Forza Horizon 6 continues the established formula of the Horizon series, transporting its open-world racing festival to a new setting inspired by Japan. The result is immediately recognizable: a large and visually impressive world filled with events, customization, and high-speed exploration. This session also marked an unexpected return to Windows after technical issues prevented the game from cooperating with the Linux gaming desktop. Once operational, however, the experience quickly settled into the familiar strengths of the series. ...

Outbound presents itself as a survival crafting game, though one stripped almost entirely of the genre’s usual hostility. There are no enemy attacks, no PvP concerns, and little pressure beyond managing resources and continuing the journey.

However, that familiarity ultimately proved to be its limiting factor. The fantasy setting and traditional systems did not provide enough variation or novelty to sustain interest, particularly when compared to more recent interpretations of the formula. ...

Above the Snow brings forth a somewhat unique premise, tasking players with building and managing a mountain climber’s lodge in a harsh alpine environment. The concept stands out immediately, blending hospitality management with business expansion with a bit of story thrown in. As the session progressed, the game revealed additional layers — including some unexpected narrative tones and mechanics that introduced a subtle, and at times odd, criminal or mafia-like undertone to the experience. We had to constantly worry over getting wood, or ordering it to be delivered, to do most of the building inside and around the lodge. Constantly assigning and reassigning our three workers to the same jobs. ...

Airborne Empire arrives as the follow-up to Airborne Kingdom, continuing its distinctive approach to city-building by placing an entire settlement in the sky. This session marked the first direct experience with the sequel as it hit 1.0 after some early access time. ...
