PlayerState @playerstate.bsky.social · 18h

Dipped back into Old School RuneScape this week after my time with Leagues in RuneScape. Keep trying to surge everywhere 😂

PlayerState @playerstate.bsky.social · 18h

Today I took a look at @noblelegacygame.bsky.social a Medieval city builder which you play in third person.
It's a bit rough around the edges but it's got something to it.

Top 10 NEW Upcoming Indiegames OCTOBER 2025

Personally once my current sub runs out next year I'll probably let it lapse. Found myself not using it that much this year, just so many games that I just don't have the time.

The era of great value Game Pass is finally over. Gonna cost you £23 a month to get first party games day and date now.

No real surprise that they have made this move, Ultimate has been an incredible deal for a while.

I've seen this story before. Fail to take chances, opponent scores and then we struggle to break them down

Stunning and Gory Sci-fi First Person Roguelike | MOROS PROTOCOL

1 5

PlayerState @playerstate.bsky.social · 18d

Yeah, it makes sense that there are teething problems, especially as the team is smaller than that in OSRS.

PlayerState @playerstate.bsky.social · 18d

In general with Leagues there can be a tendency to focus on what is wrong rather than what Jag X got right and enjoying the game

PlayerState @playerstate.bsky.social · 18d

It's especially irksome as they speak from a place where they are lacking in knowledge about RuneScape 3.

RuneScape 3 creators have been a lot more forgiving and kind about this first Leagues.

PlayerState @playerstate.bsky.social · 18d

I'm enjoying RuneScape Leagues but boy are there too many OSRS content creators complaining about how it should be more like OSRS Leagues.

PlayerState @playerstate.bsky.social · 19d

I am partial to an FPS #roguelike so I was v.happy to check out @morosprotocol.bsky.social for my latest video

PlayerState @playerstate.bsky.social · 24d

Finished @tinybookshopgame.com today. A charming game about building a community that stands in contrast to current societal and political life.

A lovely little pick-me up that I heartily recommend.

PlayerState @playerstate.bsky.social · 26d
