I've broken my winning streak, and found my way back into Eve Online again. This time I'm in Faction Warfare, which actually seems like fun, and not an eternal blobfest all over the place.
Gloomhaven! Just started another two minis mercenary, they are my favorite
Been playing Stardew valley and Slay the spire while watching tv/movies on a second monitor. It's a pretty engrossing way to spend your free time.
A bit of 'Death Road to Canada' lately--basically the oregon trail but in a zombie apocalypse and everything is randomized/procedurally generated. High replay-value up there with The Binding of Isaac (not quite that good, but it's close). Supports split screen co-op. Banger retro soundtrack. Witty. Do recommend.
Witcher 2 babyyyy. First time playthrough and it's just... Like I'm a kid again and I can't stop thinking about playing it again when I'm at work.
I've been jumping back and forth between The Finals Closed Beta and Battlebit Remastered when I'm not leveling my sorcerer on Diablo IV.
Outside of that, for demos I played the FF16 demo which blew my wig back. Lusant is another one coming from Don't Nod that I played a small chunk of and quit because I knew it was right up my alley and didn't need to see more, have a feeling it'll be a shorter experience. Then I tried Lies of P, which has busted HDR support on PC, so gonna give it a shot on PS5 today. Overall dug the vibe and combat, the influence from Bloodborne is all over the damn game.
It's been a few patches since last, and Update 8 is live on the Experimental Branch, so I started a new save of Satisfactory.
Never managed to get far in previous runs, because I tended to think complicated instead of thinking big, so have a new strategy this time. When I need modular frames, I find a fresh set of iron nodes and dedicate the entire output of those to modular frames. Things are more spread out, but collecting resources is an uncomplicated problem to solve.
So far I'm optimistic - feeling less overwhelmed.
Cyberpunk - I like it but it's still buggy to the point of having to reload at times. The main story is absurdly predictable and short, barely got into it and I'm at the point of no return. Maybe the conclusion will save it. Replayability is low due to all the unskippable pseudo cutscenes. Combat is meh. So far a 7/10 game
F1 23 - finally a good F1 game
Damn I miss panam.
Destiny 2: The new season feels fantastic.
I've been playing Ace Combat 7. It has been exhilarating!
Yo ace fan! One thing I love about the ace combat series are the soundtracks. Daredevil from 7 is just mwah phenomenal.
Guild Wars 2, evidently others do like it as the maps are usually not empty.
I would like to play a more engaging game, but I'm working too much and my brain need some chill time.
This week, a little Citizen Sleeper, a little of a Doom wad called Lost Civilization and No Man's Sky on Switch.
I'm mostly finished with The Cult of the Lamb - just doing boss rushes and minor cult duties for fun and I have also been playing McPixel 3. I fired up The Binding of Isaac for a quick run, too.
Morrowind and Outer Worlds
I've been playing CDDA for a few days now, and you know what? This game is amazing in all aspects (except for UI and graphics). It's hard enough, sometimes scary, and very interesting in general. Highly recommended! (And it's free)
I feel boring after scrolling through all the other replies and just saying Diablo 4. :p
I died against the final boss earlier this week after getting them down to a couple hits left, so I spent all week grinding renown and paragon points and just completely face rolled them this morning. Feels good, man. I can't wait to start on the endgame content.
Other than that, I played that Grimace game on my GBC style emulation handheld. It's... a game. I also played Microsoft's Bejeweled clone in the mobile Xbox app to get rewards points.
It is weird that diablo feel like you haven't really started the game until you've completed the story once. Like that whole well written story and beautiful cut scenes are in fact the prologue to the real game.
I haven't actually completed the story yet, but that's what it feels like at the moment. To be clear though - I'm really enjoying it!
I just started both Diablo IV and Star Wars: Jedi Survivor. I haven't spent a ton of time in either of them yet, but I am really liking them so far
MW2 - DMZ
I've been hearing a lot about "extraction shooters" in the last month, and DMZ was the most suggested one to try. So I gave it a try this week.
I'm no stranger to FPS games, I watched a few hours of DMZ beginner videos so I understand the systems. But jumping into MW2 as a newbie... the MW2 client is overwhelming with battle passes, account level, rank ups, perk unlocks, missions, etc. etc.
- Diablo IV
- Starsiege: Tribes (1998)
- Half-Life: Deathmatch GoldSrc (1998)
- Stasis: Bone Totem
Love seeing what people are into this week!
Is it already that time of the week? Well, I'm still playing BOTW, Dead Cells on my Switch, Dawn of War Unification mod on the PC, and some Omega Strikers on the side, slowly climbing the ranked ladder. I'm thinking I can make Gold rank before the end of the season.
Also taking a moment to get back into shmups, I popped onto Mushihimesama and Dodonpachi yesterday and I wiped before even the third bosses, I'm super rusty.
Warframe! Super fun.
I have rediscovered Titanfall 2 and am playing using Northstar. very fun
I am nearly finishing Breath of The Wild, using CEMU instead of using my Switch (which my gf is using to play BOTW and Pokemon Violet), and I am playing Football Manager 2007 for a bit of nostalgia.
I will then finish Bloodstained: Ritual of the Night which is a great metroidvania, for those who loved Castlevania: Symphony of the Night (because it's the same producer, Koji Igarashi).
Vintage Story! It started as a type of Minecraft mod, but was remade as a standalone game. It has a big emphasis on crafting and working your way up the tech tree manually by increasing the tools available to you. Food can be hard to come by in the beginning. The overall story also has a sort-of post-apocalyptic, lovecraftian vibe. Only available on their website, but it's a ton of fun!
Just started Mass Effect Andromeda after finishing 2 runs of the original trilogy (loved them). Sadly my internet is out and EA won’t let me play which is a massive bummer.
Would love to hear how Andromeda actually is. There's been a bit of an anti-hype cycle with everyone criticising it, but I've always wondered if there's a decent game in there (but kne that's not quite as good as the original trilogy).
