Ghost trick
I wanted so badly since last year to play the whole god of war series, but I don’t have much time. So every time I have off from work, it is my mission to progress in the series! I started god of war (PS4) yesterday, and wow, it’s amazing (I loved them all though until now, but the old series is more about fun and the new one much deeper and full of emotions).
Days Gone. New to me. My pet peeve is that the motorcycle is a piece of junk. It’s got like 1.5 gallon gas tank and gets something like 2km/gallon. Or maybe it’s 1 mpg, but the game uses metric for distances and imperial for volume.
I played through that fairly recently! Unexpected gem, I thought. In the early game, doing missions for Copeland’s camp will eventually get you access to a larger fuel tank. The best rewards, imo, were the guns you unlock by taking down hordes.
I’m playing that one now too. You’re right, it’s annoying that you can only drive for like two or three minutes on the bike before it’s out of fuel. But I quickly got used to looking for fuel cans and planning around gas stations. There are enough of them. It’s a deliberate choice, I think, to increase your engagement with the world and prevent you from just driving through it.
Overall I’m very impressed with the game. The story is really engaging. The gameplay and mechanics are solid and well balanced. The rules are not always intuitive, but once you learn them they are consistent. The longer I play it the more time I want to spend with it.
I picked up 2 copies of Helldivers for me and my partner during the steam sale. Game is great fun and runs smoothly on steam deck. Totally worth $5.
Just beat tears of the kingdom. I think if totk had been released instead of botw it probably would’ve been one of the best games ever made… But with it being a follow up to botw it just felt way too similar for me to enjoy it. I essentially 100%ed botw so had no desire to just redo it again in totk. Basically just ran through the main story, did whatever side quests were easy, then fought Ganon. In a vacuum it was still a great game but I was sad it was so similar to botw.
Now playing the system shock remake. I beat 2 for the first time a few years ago and loved prey so have been excited to start it. Enjoying it so far for sure.
Flip-flopping between Minecraft Bedrock and Techtonia. The latter just came out and i’m struggling my way through it
DCS, mostly. It’s a real learning curve from first getting your jet started, to flying and shooting at other people.
I was planning to play Diablo 4’s first season this weekend, but the patch was an absolute middle finger to the entire player base. And the seasonal theme wasn’t that interesting to begin with. So now I’m not playing much of anything.
Mass Effect Legendary Edition!
Nox Archaist - Wasn’t expecting much, was blown away. Definetily not for everyone, but personally I think it’s the most engaging game I’ve played this year. Surpasses even Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom.
And just to make it clear: this is not a shit post. I really enjoy Nox Archaist so much.
Picked up a copy of battlebit 2 weeks ago. Managed to get maybe one hour in so far.
Minecraft for the first time! With my 5 y/o who sits on his tablet. It’s dangerous for us both.
I remember losing so much sleep when I first played Minecraft a decade ago, it’s one of those games that I wish I could experience for the first time again.
Halls of Torment. $5 game on steam that is like a Vampire Survivors clone, but with more rpg elements to it.
I’ve finally gave in and tried Vampire Survivors… what have I done. I didn’t realize it was 3AM by the time I put my handheld down and suffering at work today.
Outside of that been casually replaying Halo CE and **Midnight Club 2 **
Once you’ve beat Vampire Survivors you can lose more time playing Halls of Torment. You can curse me later
