Anything good?
I’m hoping to get some time to play Return of the Obra Dinn if I could get any significant amount of time blocked off to game.
Mostly just failing to Slay the Spire
That’s how it’s played!
Decided to do my first play through of The Witcher. Never was a game that caught my interest, but so far I’m enjoying it. Not running any mods because I’m weird, according to my discord peeps.
Playing the Spider-Man Remake on PS5 now. Very cool game. Got it after playing Miles Morales.
I’m starting Factorio back up again, for better or worse… Just the other day I finally launched my first rocket! Feels good only took me 6.5 years of on and off play
I’m starting to play subnautica for the first time! I’ve heard good things but I’m finding the start a little slow, the loop hasn’t quite got me invested yet.
Love return of the Obra Dinn. Hope you enjoy it!
Subnautica is one of my favorite games. I had to pause my playthrough though because I was so tense playing it, kept setting off my thalassophobia. They do an amazing job creating a feeling of isolation.
sure hope you like having thalassophobia its a great game just be ready for some scares
You’re in for a treat then! I never got around to finish it (Subnautica) though. Some parts are just so scary & isolating that I stopped playing, the devs did an amazing job at that! 🔥
@Subtex TotK if we’re being honest.
But before that I was *obsessed* with SpaceChem, and will likely return once I’m done romping through Hyrule making extremely simple machines that fail at their basic tasks.
My son just bought TotK and I’m home sing to play it, but I’m already midway through AC Odyssey and Horizon Call of the Mountain, so I need to finish those first.
Halfway through Dishonored 2 ATM and loving it - feels a bit slicker and more polished than the original which I also adored. The game had a lot of issues with motion sickness in the past which prevented me from experiencing it.
Is the game enjoyable without playing the first one? Got it for free on PlayStation+ a few weeks ago but didn’t want to miss on important details.
Difficult to say what it’d be like as a newcomer as I’m quite familiar with the world and characters.
The gameplay is slick as ever and I’d argue more fun than the first, but there’s not much of a tutorial at the beginning - a fair amount of assumed knowledge is implied.
I’d say for the best experience, you should still play the first one as there’s plenty of throwback in the second installment’s story. They’re very much married in that respect.
If you’re curious, the first one must be quite cheap these days and well worth it in my opinion.
I’ve just started The Dig which I fell in love with immediately. I’ve taken a little 20 year hiatus on adventure games but have got back into them this year.
Being an old time-starved patient gamer, I very happily keep a walkthrough tab open for whenever I fancy it. Highly recommended if you want to experience some classic games to the end but skip the frustrations and wasted evenings.
Was probably my favorite game - let alone favorite adventure - when it came out. The music is fantastic, and so is the story. I remember some puzzles being a bit too goldbergian, but as you say, nothing that a walkthrough can’t alleviate.
Been about a year, but thinking about starting another Satisfactory play through.
Satisfactory is awesome. I’ve been meaning to get back into it too, so many new features and updates since I last played
The new update should also be around the corner, it’s gonna be the biggest one yet. Their devs & community manager really hear the players, definitely one of the few gems out there
ah, my favourite weekly thread!
i’m playing Devil May Cry 5, i wanted to see what all the fuss was about action/gameplay-wise before starting FF XVI in a few weeks time (which I’m extremely hyped for!).
i’m having a pretty great time with the game so far!
Pillars of Eternity. I haven’t gotten very far yet but it seems like an incredible game.
Pokemon Trading Card Game 2: Great Rocket Attacks. There’s a translation and I’m playing it on a retroconsole.
It’s literally a “MORE OF IT!” sequel in the same engine to Pokemon TCG, except with twice the cards, a second island, and all of the old content is eventually available. They also improve on some AI quirks, and nearly all characters now have three portraits to show happiness and sadness. Also, the opponent decks are tremendously more well thought out (ez example: Electric users usually also have bird pokemon that resist the Fighting/Ground decks you’re going to bring against them) so you could pretty much see it as a full blown DLC Sequel. It’s also longer, way longer.
I wish I had this game as a kid. I have no idea why they didn’t export it outside Japan. Pokemon Stuff was selling for truckloads between gen 1 and 2.
Resident Evil 2 remake. Finished the first one last week and now I’m hooked! I can’t believe I waited so long to play the RE games, but with all the remakes maybe it was actually perfect timing. RE2 remake is great so far.
Finally picked back up A Link Between Worlds on the 3DS, inspired by watching SGDQ, after dropping out of it so long ago that I don’t even remember how long ago that was. It’s a total blast, even if I’m struggling to figure out exactly what I’ve already done and need to be doing.
A Link Between Worlds is really excellent, one of my favorites Zelda and perfect for a handled.
I’ve been playing Warhammer on the Return of Reckoning server. It holds up pretty well for an older game, and the pvp is fun. I’ve also been playing a little Diablo 2 and 7 Days to Die, with a soupcon of Civ IV
I love RoR! I come back every few months to enjoy the nostalgia. Such a missed opportunity that game was :(
