Powerwash Simulator is perfect for this.

Lots good input from the rest of these guys, so I’ll just add a few small things. The 5 difficulties are balanced such that you won’t need to worry about the game being too daunting, imo. If you just wanna focus on learning mission mechanics without being overwhelmed by bugs, you can simply play at a lower difficulty. There’s nothing lost by doing so, just that experience and gold gain scale based on it. No content lost.

Like many games, there are tricks you can learn (a lot of animation cancels). The game isn’t balanced around them, though, but they’re also mechanically simple to execute if you do choose to seek them out later on.

I’ve been on an ARPG kick so it’s been super tempting. I’m holding out to see how the game and monetization is handled as seasons start, though, and even then I’ll probably be stubborn enough to wait for a sale.

One on Firefox that’s super helpful for work is Simple Tab Groups. It lets me keep plenty of tabs open without it turning into a disorganized mess. Better than Chrome’s built-in tab organization, imo.

ROCKITY ROCK AND STONE!

Sony buying everything is just as much a problem as MS doing it. I think the main difference is that they’ve stayed under the radar by doing smaller purchases, but I want someone to push the brakes on them equally as much.

Slightly pains me to say that this is a good thing. As much as I hate what’s happened to Blizzard but especially Crash and Spyro, monopolies are only going to end up making things so much worse.

It’s admittedly gotten a lot of shout outs with Diablo’s release, but Grim Dawn. Just a super great old school ARPG with a fun multi class system. I think I made a mistake by letting it be one of the first in the genre I really got into, so it’s kinda tough to find another one that competes.

I got a decent ways into it and need to go back sometime soon. The puzzles and exploration (basically still a puzzle) are super daunting sometimes, but along with the story are really great.
