Hexologic- it was free a week ago(?). I don’t think it’s good.
Steam ROM Manager
Castlevania: Belmont’s Curse. I am a huge fan of The Rogue Prince of Persia, plus I love Castlevania, so been looking forward to this one. And I gotta say, I am not disappointed in the slightest - it’s an excellent addition to the franchise.
A PoP inspired Castlevania??? Sign me the fuck up
And they are probably my favorite game from each franchise.
I had tried rogue-lite games a couple of times, but didn’t really catch my interest. But ended up loving a rogue-lite PoP big time. And their composer for the music in both games is amazing, not to mention their graphic artists - I really dig their art style.
I grabbed Talos Principal 2 for $3 and got Pragmata too. Pragmata is fun, I’m enjoying it. I’ve only done the intro for Talos 2 so can’t say much about it.
Also jamming out to Breachway recently. It hooks you with the unlocks dammit lol
I really enjoyed my time with Pragmata, capcom had a really good year for releases imo.
Dude Capcom has been killing it recently. All the resident evils they’ve released recently are bangers. Monster Hunter world is hundreds of hours long. I’m forgetting a few IPs they’ve published, and now pragmata. They’re a AAA studio still doing good gaming.
Another good publisher I’ve noticed recently is Devolver. They have some fun games out too.
Onimusha was really good as well. I almost never buy games full price (outside of a few JRPG series), but both Onimusha and Pragmata got me to break that this year, and they were both worth it.
I’ve mainly been playing Trails in the Sky 2nd Chapter, although I started playing RE8 a bit before Halloween. My wife finds horror games somewhat enjoyable to watch as well, so it’s a nice game to be able to put on at night before bed.
Half life Alyx. It’s such a good game that it makes me sad there isn’t more.
At least there are tons of custom maps in the workshop.
Golfinte. It’s no PS era Hot Shots Golf but it’s a good 2D game. Just turn off obstacles.
Jump King. There’s something oddly satisfying about making net negative progress in a game.
Still streaming Elite Dangerous from the PC to my deck
hooked my deck with a dock up to the living room tv, and the kiddos have been having a blast playing Lego Party
My steamdeck has been getting more use than ever! I’ve been playing some Valheim with my wife and Enshrouded when she doesn’t want to play Valheim.
What’s your enshrouded config look like? Im only getting an unstable 40fps Max
Vampire Survivors, got hooked on unlocking ode to Castlevania Content.
Playing Pathogenic on the Deck and I suck. Only ever get to the liver 😭.
On Frame I was dabbling a bit with Valheim and Deep Rock Galactic VR mods. It’s so cool. But in DRG I am also too bad in VR to play with my friends, for some reason it’s really hard to orient myself, which seems strange (my expectation is that it would be somehow better in VR).
In Valheim VR I still need to figure out how to adjust head height, 'cause I’m like an ant stalking through the grass 😅. But it’s so rewarding really hitting the enemies.
Deck: just finished Citizen Sleeper last night.
Frame: The Mailroom and Scared by Squares
Peak & Deep Rock Galatic. Both are team-centric games, and performs decently well on the deck. A nice break from all the single player AAA story driven games.
I’m nearing the end of the Ace Attorney Apollo Justice collection, it’s a fantastic series for the deck, gets around 4 hours of battery life or so. The whole series is worth your time.
Just finished Spider-Man 2 on my PC with my Steam Controller. That was the first time I really used that controller and damn, it’s really good! I kind of don’t want to go to the Steam Deck anymore. It’s so heavy.
On the Frame I’m playing Jedi Outcast via JKXR and having a blast. Some bugs are present but nothing I can’t work around.
