I'm not talking emotional games about working out parental trauma, I need shit to play past my bedtime while drinking soda and eating pizza. I last did this with diablo 3, and I wish to revisit the headspace

Demon Tides came out recently and had me doing exactly what you're describing lol. It's a stylish platformer about overthrowing a king - good messaging, but also pretty silly too. The open world is a a series of islands that you swim between by transforming into a snake. It's a great game.

(There is some parental trauma if that is a deal breaker)

Also, have you considered Diablo 4? I just finished it with my gf and we both thoroughly enjoyed it.

Oh hell yeah I didn't realize this had come out. I played demon turf a little while back (the predecessor) and it was fantastic and funny and cute and the platforming was incredible.

I actually haven't played the first game yet! This is a good reminder that I need to do that. The sequel is really great. Might end of being one of my favs this year.
