Minecraft. I’ve gotten sucked in all over again, lol. Happens every other year at this point
Last of Us part 1. Never played a Last of Us, but streaming to the steam deck has got me playing more single player games.
Jet Set Radio Future!
Stellar game. Looking forward to Bomb Rush Cyberfunk.
Bomb Rush Cyberfunk is the reason I'm replaying JSRF all these years later! I'm (im)patiently waiting for its release
V rising. I'm playing on my own server with just my husband on occasion. At this point it's mostly barbie dream house. I send the servants off to farm and keep redecorating.
I'm a little conflicted about having a prison in my house though. My husband tells me I'm a vampire so that makes it ok.
For me:
-
Wo Long, again, on the PS5 this time and with the Season Pass. I'm a freak so I'll get it done before the first DLC drops this week
-
FFXVI. I have many, many thoughts about this game right now but I'll hold my tongue until I finish it. i probably will.
-
PSO2:NG. I'm done with grad school so I'm delving into those big, forever games again. FFXIV is boring to me now so I thought I'd give NG a try. I played PSO2 a lil bit now and again. if you play this lemme know! I'm on Ship 3, but I literally just started, so
-
Battle Bit Remastered. The only FPS I've ever been good at is Apex. This is not that, but it's fun and low stakes so I'll take it.
-
Ender Lilies and Afterimage. I've been on a Metroidvania kick lately
-
Street Fighter 6. still searching for my main (and my skill in this game)
So much Street Fighter 6. I've played fighting games my whole life, but I'm enjoying taking this one a little more seriously. I still suck in online but am slowly improving! Also playing Back 4 Blood with some friends, which is always fun!
Finished the campaign for D4 over the weekend, still lightly dipping into TOTK, trying not to rush through it.
Waiting for the first season to not burnout on D4, probably in need of picking up another game here soon. Really could go from something like Stardew….
Forever Skies.
It's like the Raft meets Subnautica, but with airships. It holds up so far, especially for an early access title.
I somehow skipped over Hollow Knight until now. I'm playing that this week, and maybe forever.
The game is dope.
Deep Rock Galactic on my own (rock and stone!), Stardew Valley with my wife, and Boomerang Fu with my kids. I'm visiting family next week, so I'll need to decide on something to play on my Deck.
Recently started playing Project Zomboid. It's a slow burn, but very satisfying when you make any kind of progress.
Beat Celeste so decided to try Ori & the Blind Florest and I like it so far. Also been playing Battlebit occasionally and started Horizon Zero Dawn.
Don't Starve Together. It's ruining my life since a friend gifted it to me.
Tears of the Kingdom as I have been every day since it came out and as I likely will every day until I've one hundred percented it.
Stellaris, all day every day. I'm not exaggerating either. Last weekend you could play it for free, so I thought why not give it a shot, you know? I like sci-fi themed games and I haven't played a 4X game in a while. So I give it a shot and... it's suddenly 1AM. So I buy the game. And most of the earlier expansions.
And now I play it every day. And when I'm not playing the game, I think about it. What will I research? How can I improve my economy? Will I attack my dickhead neighbours for laying claim to MY systems? Nah, just kidding. I'm actually thinking on HOW I'm going to attack them. A game hasn't hooked me this bad in a long while.
I finished Overload this weekend, so I'm wandering through my backlog looking for a next thing that sticks with me for more than five minutes. Oxygen Not Included doesn't seem to be cutting it, so.. we'll see. I've got Cataclysm: DDA around as a light diversion until I get pulled into something, and there's always Guild Wars 2 and Deep Rock Galactic.
A lot of timberborn.
I can't allow myself to use the speedup controls in games, and I'm playing iron teeth (newly revamped) but for some insane reason I'm not letting myself build engines, and i made droughts longer, so basically 50% of the time i have no power and all my bots don't work.
Lol
Dragon's Dogma: Dark Arisen. Started it last year but fell off because of how tedious it was. With the announcement of a sequel I thought I'd get back to it. The combat is really something enjoyable.
Pathfinder: Kingmaker. Great RPG with half baked kingdom management tacked on. I'm still enjoying myself though.
Also, obligatory Tears of the Kingdom. I'm trying really hard to stay focused on saving Hyrule despite the dozens of distractions pouncing on me at every turn.
Raft, still trying to find the last painting.
Also dabbled in Insurgency for the first time in a while.
Just finished TotK and now playing FFXVI. Both games have been absolutely amazing in their own ways.
Tears of the Kingdom on the go, Ghostwire Tokyo when I’m at home!
Also catch up once a week with a buddy to slowly work our way through Diablo 4
Just finished Tunic. I shan't spoil the game since I encourage people to go in blind, but it has so much charm in it and focuses on such a unique sense of nostalgia.
I’ve been playing through Octopath Traveler 2 but I got a bit burnt out on it and wanted something different so I picked up Rimworld yesterday and am really liking it so far. Lost my first colony to starvation because I hunted all of the animals and then left them to rot! 😂
Final Fantasy XVI, I’m 70% in, and I’m having a real good time.
The story is interesting and keeps you going, not convoluted or opaque like in 13 or 15.
The sidequests are very boring at first, and still mostly fetch quests / fight certain enemies, but they eventually reward you with background story of the side characters, and some of them are pretty good.
The combat keeps throwing you new stuff with a good pace.
The eikon fights are what we can get as close to Asura's Wrath sequel. Every big fights are just hype
Also the music is top notch.
This game is gonna end up as one of my top 3 favorite mainline FF games.
(edit, deleted original post, since I accidentally clicked on post before finished writing)
FFVIII
Got Fallout 4 with all the DLC for a steal so I am currently enjoying that. Also Battlebits Remastered on and off again.
Mannnn.... I really want to enjoy battlebits. Looks like it captures the old battlefield 'feel' really well. It's just super unfortunate that they are switching to an anti-cheat service that requires kernel access. Even if it didn't break compatibility with my system, which it will, on principle that's just too much trust given regarding my computer imho.
reliving my childhood on call of duty. picture an old man yelling at a screen and you get the idea.
looking for something new though. resource management, 4x maybe, but nothing deep.
Zelda Minish cap, super mario bros, and some pokemon Gold. just been feeling the childhood games lately
Street Fighter 6! My first fighting game and the controls are difficult af, but I'm enjoying the learning process :)
Brotato.
Tears of the Kingdom, still.
Hotline Miami
I went Diablo 4 to Diablo 3 to Last Epoch currently. Pretty fun so far.
I've been playing the original Quake, as well as Deus Ex. I'm not normally a fan of boomer shooters, but Quake has been surprisingly fun and interesting. I realize this might be a complaint for some, but I appreciate the simplified arsenal of weapons. It puts more focus on enemies and the level design, which I appreciate.
Deus Ex is fun, but it hasn't had the moment where it fully clicks for me just yet, like Prey did. I'm still enjoying it, but I'm curious to see if it really grips me like some other immersive sims do.
Satisfactory. Still got to complete that last step. And put trains everywhere. Can't seem to help it.
Iron Danger.
It's an indie tactical RPG that's RTWP similar to other CRPGs. But the main feature of it is being able to rewind time to redo actions if they don't work out, so combat ends up being similar to a puzzle as you rewind and reposition or try new attacks.
The downside is that it's linear, and has no items and very little character progression which are what it's lacking the most compared to a typical CRPG, but it's an interesting take on the style of combat.
bought Spiderman Miles Morales on Steam last week, but haven't touched it, probably Sun Haven as well
