Tetris Effect: I was sure it would be a nice, relaxing game I could play casually to calm down. Nope. While I enjoyed the aesthetic and the dynamic music, the way it speeds up at times and the way the difficulty scales makes it a remarkably stressful game, to the point that I still felt stressed out hours after playing it. If you're a Tetris god, you'll probably think differently about it, but I'm not. I ended up digging out a classic Tetris clone from over 20 years ago instead, Zetrix, which still looks nice, plays just fine on modern hardware (except for resolution support) and, crucially, isn't even remotely as stressful. I wish it had a hold function though.
Proun: An abstract racing game from 12 years ago. It still looks fantastic, has outstanding track design and controls exceedingly well. Neat concept, near flawless execution, just as much fun as I remember it being.
Game Dev Tycoon: No matter what you click, no matter what you choose, no matter how many points your game has, you can never predict how well your game ends up scoring. It's just an RNG clicker. You as the player might as well not even be there. Everything about it is meaningless.
