Tell us what game you are currently, or recently played, greater than 6+ months old.
If the game happens to be on sale, a link would be a plus.
Just started The Outer Worlds, which I got free on EGS during the holiday.
I love the aesthetics and voice acting. The movement feels a bit floaty, but it’s alright. At least the configuration of the controls is intuitive.
I know some people who’ve played it. Some say they really enjoyed it, while others said it was rather bland. I’m really enjoying it so far, but I’m not too far in. It seems like a game where I could get caught up in the side quests without ever advancing in the main quest.
I loved it when I played it, but that was before I had played any Mass Effect games. Now that I’ve played Mass Effect, I don’t know that I would have liked Outer Worlds as much as I did. I wouldn’t be surpised if that’s where the differing opinions come from: those who’ve played Mass Effect vs those that haven’t.
I’m in luck then because I never could get Mass Effect to create saves on my PC for some reason.
I played ME1 years ago. It was decent overall, but I would hardly call it exceptional.
I remember a little. Just that story was mostly good, main quests okayish, side quests mostly terrible and repetitive. It always felt like cheap knock off of KotOR (cheap in content, not presentation).
Everyone was hyping the game so hard I was quite disappointed in the end. So disappointed I haven’t even started ME2 despite having it in library. And it probably won’t ever happen, especially when I discovered they ditched the bare minimum RPG elements ME1 had.
I recently got a bonus from work and decided to buy a PS5 (I’m usually on pc). As a massive souls fan who’s never owned a PlayStation, my first two games I’ve tried out were Bloodborne and the Demon’s Souls remake. I always like to keep a non-souls game in the rotation too, so I’ve been blasting through Spiderman Remastered. All have been a ton of fun so far.
I recently finished the story of God of War (2018), it was on sale for $25 in the steam winter sale so I said why not.
It’s pretty fun. The combat feels great, the story and acting is extremely compelling, and it looks really good too.
After finishing that one, I decided to go back and try to finish Horizon: Zero Dawn, and that ones kinda fun. The acting and story aren’t nearly as interesting or good, but the machine combat can be kinda fun, and I’ve been treating it like a hunting game.
Zero Dawn’s story got interesting to me part way through.
One of the only games I’ve read/listened to all the lore books/tapes.
Not sure if that really counts as “a game” for this community, but I reactivated my old Neopets account after a long hiatus. The site is still broken AF but just as fun as I remembered, and there is talk of an upcoming plot across the boards.
Final Fantasy VI with the ROSE patch. This time I’ll finish it for real, instead of quitting in the World of Ruin :P.
No one lives forever can be downloaded free online. The Wikipedia says the devs shared the source code at some point and it’s in copyright hell so pretty much only way to get it. Was pretty fun, playing on the hardest difficult was kind of annoying though. Last boss fight was ridiculous. On to f.e.a.r.!
Assassin’s Creed Origins, I picked up the 3 pack last year of Origins, Valhalla, and Odyssey on sale, and am just having the time to sit down to play Origins.
Nier automata, took the prequel too,
That’s really good shit.
Good “chilling” vibes.Nier games are day one purchases for me. One of my favourite series.
Honestly, best series of all time. Came in blind and really fell down the rabbit hole.
I wish I was prepared for one of the game mechanics though. I won’t say more but it a chore for me, personally. It is amazing how much fans respect the game though it is hard to stumble on spoilers after all these years!
Oh yeah, I’m not even in the mid game, but I’m on the hype for sure.
And I’m a keyboard addict playing it with controller (I tried just the first time with KB… XD). For now this is the only weakness I see.
Immortals: Fenyx Rising is on Steam sale for $6 standard/$10 with the DLC. It’s a story with the Greek pantheon providing most of the characters that doesn’t take itself seriously–it starts off with Prometheus telling Zeus a story, and Zeus is the world’s worst audience. The movement and combat are satisfying, and it’s a ton of fun so far.
Thanks for the tip! $6 is too good to pass up. Just purchased it!
Lost Odyssey, a bit under 20 hours in. There are elements of it that are driving me nuts, but there’s a lot I really like. I wish I’d played this 15 years ago.
I’m loving Mindustry recently. It’s fun to see what I can do with the logic system.
It’s especially good on mobile
Returning to Atelier Meruru. It’s slowly growing on me, like a pink-and-yellow fungus.

13 Sentinels: Aegis Rim, it’s beautiful!
What a roller coaster of a story. Enjoy!
Yoooo 13 Sentinels
To this day the most unable I’ve ever been to put down a game. I think I beat it in two days that were fully dedicated to it, even while eating. It’s a drug and each hit is a Memento-tier reveal or twist.
What a game
S.T.A.L.K.E.R. Shadow of Chernobyl. A classic, it still has decent graphics that could be improved with mods.
No game beats the level of immersion STALKER series’ atmosphere gives me, especially the first game.
I could replay the trilogy over and over, but there are also tons of mods with unique stories, mechanics and new levels.
