Hello! Welcome back to our regular feature where we write a little bit about some of the games we’ve been playing over the past few days. This week: dice, Bond, and trains.
If you fancy catching up on some of the older editions of What We’ve Been Playing, here’s our archive.
Slice and Dice, Android
I’d forgotten how much I like this game. Sometimes time away can do that, can’t it, reinforce our feelings about a game? I suppose if you feel strongly about it weeks or months later then you really do like it. You weren’t just caught up in the moment.
Something else helped amplify this feeling too, and it was seeing my son play it. He’s 13 and his usual games are Fortnite or online Minecraft, which is quite a different beast to offline Minecraft, so a turn-based dice-rolling game isn’t typically his jam. Yet, from the moment I introduced it to him on the train, he was hooked. And for me, that sealed it: Slice and Dice really is a banger.

I’ve talked about it before because I’ve been playing it for about a year. I must be about 40 hours in, whoops – probably more. I’m actually a bit peeved now that I didn’t put it in my top games of 2023.
