    Physical giveaway: I have a AYN Odin2 Mini I don't play enough. It's one of these Android handhelds you can use to play retro games on. Also runs Rocknix beautifully. It's a really nice little machine. IFF you can pick it up in person in Berlin you can have it for free. Comes with the box, and it's in good shape, so it still works as a present I think.

    Old Skies was one of my favs. It's not very long, there aren't things you really influence in the story, but it was just a nice story, well paced.

    Same! Took me a while since I'm bad at the boss battles, but I managed. Great fun, and the music is /so/ good.

    I rolled credits on Hades II and did some progression afterwards as well.

    Finished Split Fiction. It's a very creative game, looks great, and until the end it keeps mixing up the mechanisms. Recommended for that. It's a bit long, but the story stays interesting enough (unlike the game before this, about the parents).

    However, it gets pretty hard sometimes, I wouldn't want to play this with a 7 year old. Some bosses are tricky, and some jumping puzzles are not easy.
    The networking code is unbelievably bad, I don't know who said "yup, done, ship it", but it's unacceptable. The status of the world on my screen is very different of that of the other player. I can rotate something so that it's 90deg for me, and for the other player, who is standing next to me, can have the thing rotated at 180deg. Which usually doesn't matter, but sometimes you have to sync things for puzzles. We generally just laughed about how bad it is. Sometimes it was enough to shout "go!" to the other player, even though their local state made no sense, but it worked for the other player. However, some puzzles were unplayable, and we got through those with some actual remote-play-together sessions, since nothing else worked. That's just not good enough.
    And finally it's published by EA, which is now related to some people I don't want to give money, but that happened after I bought the game.
    It's really too bad, since parts of the game really are amazing.

    When fighting the blind sheep boss, and you morph some of the adds into sheep with a spell from the fairy-moon-girl, he goes "oh, more sheep?". It's so funny.
