Spiritfarer. I'm a patient gamer and now that it is on sale, I finally picked it up.
Spiritfarer is a really nice and relaxing game. I started playing it expecting a small 4-5 hours game, but it's pretty much a full length game.
I paused and moved away from it, but it's a game I want to return to. Just take your time and enjoy the game.
Also, patient gamers FTW! I am also a patient gamer, but with some minor exceptions. 😀
Probably going to be playing Steins gate elite, was able to get it on sale.
I have heard so much about Steins gate, but was never able to get into it.
I'm still really deep into Tears of the Kingdom. Maybe 90 hours in and still only have gone through two of the regional/sage quests, because the side quests and adventures are really a lot of fun. Exploring the depths is super cool. While the sky islands seem to make up less of the game than I thought they would, they're still a cool part of the game and I'm still exploring, side-questing, and occasionally getting back to the main story quests. Given all of that, why did I buy Diablo II for the Switch? Because it's nearly 70% off right now and with some credit I had it was $10 and I got a lot of playtime out of DIII.
Really taking my time with TOTK, im refusing to upgrade hearts or stam so far
Another run-through of Bioshock Infinite with some Dead by Daylight matches sprinkled in.
I really need to try Bioshock Infinite. Have only played the first one yet.
Dead by Daylight just got the Nic Cage character, is he already in game or coming sometime in future?
Oh, so lucky. I wish I could play through the Bioshock series for the first time again, and all the games are super cheap.
As for Nicolas Cage, he may be on the beta platform but he's not live yet. It'll be fun to play him once he is.
Taking a break from TOTK to play age of calamity. Skipped it way back and got the dynasty warriors itch again
Still playing TOTK. Such a vast world. I still haven't completed many quests so far, I'm just running around exploring. There is something to see and do around every corner.
Like every night, I’ll be raiding on Pokémon Violet. It’s just become a routine for me. I have the pokedex and everything. I raid just to wind down and have fun.
I picked up the Borderlands bundle not too long ago so I’m having a nostalgic blast with that.
Same, except I had never played them before. Completed the first one and just started the second one, honestly having a blast playing through them
They're so fun! If I have a rough day at work or whatever I know I can always fire up Borderlands and take out some frustration.
Nice. It has been a long while since I last played it. Which class are you playing as?
I just migrated from Reddit and I was surprised and pleased to see a Dragon Quest Slime here to greet me!
I'm playing FFXIV now until the demo for FFXVI dops.
Haha, good to see another fan of Dragon Quest, and the blue slime!
I am on media blackout for FFXVI game, and haven't seen any of the extended game plays, but what little I have seen, it looks great. Yoshi-P seems to have outdone himself. Also the fact that there won't be a day 1 patch, just shows their confidence in the game.
Resident Evil 1 for Gamecube.
I've been playing Gamecube games lately. I finished Paper Mario recently. Amazing game
Nice! I have been meaning to get back into Resident Evil games, with the remakes, but was afraid the first one may not have aged well. How are you enjoying it?
Etrian Odyssey HD. It's been far too long since I've been absolutely ruined by an unfortunate FOE encounter, so looking forward to working through the rerelease of the series.
I have heard so much about Etrian Odyssey, but never had a 3DS to didn't get to play the original ones.
How does the HD collection compare to the original release? And how has it aged?
The gameplay loop is pretty faithful to the original as far as I remember (it's been a few years). I did notice a few differences compared to the Untold version of 1 which threw me for a loop (they added a "hint" system in Etrian Odyssey Untold to give you an audio cue that there is a hidden passageway nearby, which is absent in this version and the original DS version).
The map controls are a bit awkward and unintuitive for me, at least so far. I imagine they're more intuitive on PC with a mouse, but it's not that big a deal.
As far as how it's aged: the only thing which really makes it feel a bit aged to me is the rather high random encounter rate. If you're used to more recent dungeon crawlers like this, they have fewer, more meaningful encounters on average; the EO series has a lot of simpler encounters that are there to drain your resources, and to make it a bit of a gamble about whether you can avoid the FOE who's chasing you. It's not bad, but it's something to consider.
Tears of the Kingdom of course, but I've also started playing HI-FI Rush and am loving it so far
Started Zelda but I may hop back into Dead Cells. I played Dead Cells a few years ago, didn't like it, and put it down. Tried it a week ago and got hooked. Bad time since ToTK just came out. But I'm reminding myself I don't have to binge a game I love and can always take a break from it. It's a good problem to have, I guess!
I have a love / hate relationship with Dead Cells. It is a very fun game, but I am just not very good at it...
