Roguelikes and Metroidvanias. Not sure metroidvania was a thing back in the day but retro wise they scratch an itch when you want something new with that nostalgic feel. So far Infernax is at the top of a growing list of awesome.

I originally thumbed my nose at the roguelikes. I didn't like the indie games and a lot of indies were roguelikes. Now that's about all I play, well that and Nintendo stuff. As much as the uber competitive online noise has turned me off, the brutal roguelikes have become more and more of my thing.

Don't know if this is a trend but I'm starting to embrace 30FPS more now. With the way things are going with PC parts, I'm starting to dial back settings and making my hardware last longer.

I'm also a #PatientGamer. I don't pre-order games anymore. I'll wait until a game drops under $20 or is in a humble bundle.
