4th April Hello and welcome back to our regular feature where we write a little about the games we've been playing.

This week, Victoria strongarms her children into playing Super Mario Galaxy before they watch the rather ropy-sounding film; Bertie discovers a game as strange as he is; Marie reveals a wonderful Easter tradition that she's created for herself; and Connor's still absolutely hooked on Old School Runescape.

What have you been playing this week? Here's another question: do you remember what you were playing last week? You don't have to! The What We've Been Playing archive has you covered.

Super Mario Galaxy, Switch I realised over the weekend that my kids haven't played Super Mario Galaxy, so before they inevitably see the film version of Mario's planet-hopping escapade, I decided to introduce them to what I still believe to be one of the best platformers of all time, and I'm having a hoot.

Super Mario Galaxy's level design holds up today, even nearly 20 years after it made its debut.

I love the way Mario can traverse the undersides of planets (even if I do sometimes feel car sick negotiating the different angles).

I love the different skills he can get.

I love the very hungry Lumas and the celestial Rosalina.

.

Simply, I love this game.

Thankfully, my kids seem to be into it as much as I am, and we've enjoyed our evenings curled on the sofa collecting star fragments and - eventually - saving Princess Peach.

If I can get away with it, I think I'll leave The Super Mario Galaxy Movie for another few weeks, so my smaller humans can enjoy the game as spoiler-free as possible.

Wish me luck! -Victoria Esoteric Ebb, PC I've heard a lot of good stuff about this and I saw person-of-impeccable-taste Johnny Chiodini playing it the other day, so like a seagull by a bin, I decided to have a peck.

Also, I believe Esoteric Ebb is a first of its kind, a Disco Elysium-alike, which I find semi-remarkable, and Disco is clearly the overwhelming influence here ## Editor's Note Stay tuned for more updates as this story develops.
