Don't know what systems to choose from for Clay so I picked from the unplayed games on Backloggery:
  • Uncharted 2 - PS4
  • Outer Wilds - PS4
  • Flashback - NSD
You can pick any of these 3 to play.

Thanks, Merl! Sorry about that, I was actually just about to update with a list, but this is a good selection! I'll roll an RNG later today and let you know what I get. :)
You got BOOST power!

So without knowing entirely how backloggery works, my suggestion for Merlin is to play the incredible Celeste, since it appears you haven't played it yet. Hope you enjoy it! And remember you can fine tune the difficulty to your liking.

So my pick for you is Monster Boy and the Cursed Kingdom. There’s quite a few good games you had listed there - wasn’t an easy choice.
Almost surprised you didn't go with AC Origins! :lol: Though that would be a tough beat in only a month or so.

I have played it, but it's unfinished. Don't know where I left of. Did continue after some fine tuning, but gave up at some point. Will have to check.

Appears I left off near the end of chapter 5. Once I found the key to continue I could finish the chapter and am now at the beginning of chapter 6.
As for the difficulty .. I've got everything enabled to make it easier, probably one of the reasons I stopped playing.

Well it looks like you don't have too much longer to go! :) Chapter 5 is a bit long in the tooth but I find 6 and 7 to have a great payoff!

Started Monster Boy and The Cursed Kingdom, fun so far! Music has been very upbeat and catchy, I enjoy the animation of the characters. Currently making my way through Misty Woods as Mr. Piggy.

Anyway, I'm obviously interested. I'll have my PS5 and probably my Switch at home over the holidays, or if I can't travel, I'll have access to everything I own but I'll be focusing on those consoles anyway! :D
You know I can't say no to Celeste. Enjoy! 🏔

Aww damn, that's not the game I put in the sealed envelope! It was probably my second guess though. I thought for sure you were going to choose Strider. :)
