I saw a video on spawnwave that talked today about what games people are enjoying in 2026 right now. And the different reactions of different social media/sites.

I personally am loving Wild Blue Skie s. Its just starfox. Thats what I want to play!

BALL x PIT is a whole lot of fun. I didn’t think it would be but it keeps getting better and better.

I also liked FTL back in the day so I picked up Void War . Its like warhammer + FTL and its fantastic.

EDIT: You all are great! Keep them coming! So many games (video games and otherwise) in this list!

    Hollow Knight, but I am taking a break since I just cannot seem to beat the Traitor Lord boss. Every boss before that I managed in a couple tries but this one really beats me. Even got the top nail upgrade now, still hard. I’ll get him eventually…

      I believe you have to have shadow dash to fight him. You can dash through every attack he does because he takes long enough between them.

      This one is quite hard iirc, i too struggle with it for some times. Mantis and their erratic movement always catch me offguard. The same as Nosk.

        I totally admit that I “cheesed” Nosk a bit. Probably already a strategy written down online somewhere but I managed to figure out myself that if you stand right next/under the platform he cannot hit you well with this bubble attack and often just walks over you without damaging you, which when you can easily hit him.

        When he goes into the ceiling for his drop attack stay at the entrance door where he cannot hit you, dashing away as soon as he does his skreech before falling on you.
