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.

The short version

• 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.

What happened

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. I booted up FTL and threw myself at it with gusto.

Why it matters

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).
