I know I said I probably wouldn't have time to do a whole quarterly wrapup for my next video, but oops, I did it anyway. And this time, I snuck a bonus sixth game in!

The theme this time around is strategy games, a genre that tends to like to take its time playing out. But I happened to find a whole bunch of games that'll make you think and strategize — and get you doing it right away! I also slipped in Norco, the narrative-heavy pixel adventure everyone's been raving about lately, and Museum of Mechanics: Lockpicking, a fascinating but incredibly rough-hewn experimental game with all the same appeal as a video essay.

Looking forward, I've got a few different video ideas piled up to explore between the usual reviews: reviews of slightly older games, a few video essays, and of course, the Nier: Automata GTDM that I finally have the space to work on. Obviously, not all of that is coming immediately next, but between the quarterly wrapups and Ukraine Bundle lists, it's been four months of bashing through as many games as possible nonstop. I'm itching to deep dive something again!
