games I played in 2026

an ongoing post of games both on and off my bingo board

This post is here as a quick index for games I played in 2026 that don't have full posts.

I plan to include short bits of writing here, often linking out to 'liveblog' style micro-post threads for each game.

I'm using my 2026 bingo board of games as a guiding star for this year, and I'm looking forward to eating quite well - though I will be no stranger to adding further meals to the table. (This means Labyrinth of Touhou Tri, which as of January 10th will be coming out in just a few weeks.)

UFO 50
bingo game #1, completed 2026/1/10
all 50 games tried, 12 completed, 2 cherried

Discovering new experiences and figuring out how things work together are two of my favorite things about playing games, so I'm very suited to a gem like UFO 50 where the instruction manual doesn't exist and the genre switches every 30 minutes or so (at my whim).

I ended up being delighted not just by searching for the next Canon Game (Mortol, Party House, and Campanella 1), but also by the unexpected and deliciously frictionful growing on me (Overbold, Mooncat, Barbuta). There are misses (Fist Hell, Diskonia) as well, but knowing what you don't enjoy is, in itself, a growing experience.

This game is a wonderful box of ideas that sticks itself in your head, growing ideas of your own and giving you a fertile garden to come back and enjoy a little time in to for weeks and weeks to come. I'll be back, Golfaria.
