What we've been playing - "I simply didn't know if a first-person shooter could work as a Soulslike"

Hello and welcome back to our regular feature where we write a little about the games we've been playing. This week, Connor plays a classic, and ticks it off his bucket list; Sherif isn't sure about a first-person shooter foray into Soulslikes; Matt visits a South Pacific island volcano and Jim Henson's Labyrinth, all in one game; and Bertie discovers that playing D&D with kids is enormously entertaining.

And don't forget we have an entire dusty archive of previous What We've Been Playings, just in case you don't trust your memory and want to check which games you've played, and see what you thought of them.

I spent some time crossing a game off my bucket list. FTL has been sitting in my Steam library for years, untouched and unloved. When people have talked about FTL, I have smiled and nodded, knowing the game's merits and yet, to my shame, without any firsthand experience of it.

That ended this week! I booted up FTL and threw myself at it with gusto. The game is immediately engaging; I took great joy in figuring out intricate strategies that helped me to reach the final boss, even if I've yet to take it down (that drone phase is brutal).

I loved a moment when I learned that rather than manually having a crewmate extinguish fires, I could open the airlock doors and make a little path to the blaze. I felt properly smart when I figured it out. So yeah, here's to those bucket list classics!
