Palworld and factorio.
I’m bouncing between witcher 3, desperados 3, below and noita.
Having some fun in palworld with a friend, but I’m obssessed with Immortal Life now, a farming game with a wuxia theme where you can use chinese magic to help you water crops and stuff, very cute and a nice QoL for these games.
The Finals is probably one of the better shooters to come out in a minute, especially if you like lots of gatgets and tools. My only real complaint is that devs are reactive to game balance and don’t seem to think about how the game will ultimately be played.
Mainly Genshin/HSR/Arknights
Just finished Yakuza Gaiden so not much to do. Was great to play Gaiden though, it was invigorating to not feel like I was on a daily grind.
A lot of my gameplay is gated by friend availability atm, and they have not been available.
This is my conundrum.
I would like to play Age of Water for Xbox Series X.
…at the same time;
I would like to not be disappointed.
hAlp?
Prince of Persia is awesome
Slowly working my way up to harder difficulties in Against The Storm. Up to Prestige 6 now. Really nice difficulty curve.
Also got and finished Chants of Sennaar, and loved it! I’d really love a hard mode dlc without the journal some time, for a new language. I still need to finish Heavens Vault.
Both great games! I spent ~150 hours of Against the Storm and was playing around prestige 5-6 when I started to feel like I really understood how to play well. I’m really impressed with how well put together the game’s systems are. I hope they do GDC presentations so other developers can learn from them.
I’ve finally got and sat down to play Cyberpunk 2077: Phantom Liberty.
And I had not played since around release when I beat the game. I will say this: If this game had come out in this state - including the content from the xpack - I would have loved it. It’s still buggy and janky, but little enough to be funny instead of grating. All the new interactions they added like romances visiting you is amazing and adds a lot of details and atmosphere, and the new story being far more on-rails helps so much in establishing and keeping tension.
My one big criticism I’d still have is for how much the game sometimes struggles against it’s underlying design. The whole map being a city feels weird, because like the countryside in Witcher III, vast areas of it feel dead and empty. Luckily with the xpack being centered on the very dense and compact Dogtown, that is largely solved for the new content.8/10, would recommend if you enjoyed Cyberpunk 2077.
Having played through the PL story, I didn’t like the overhauled skill system as much as I’d hoped, but I still want to go back through the main story again. There are still some old sidequests I never got around to as well.
Just finished breath of the wild and hitman absolution. Went back to journey to the savage planet for the first time in ages. I also played some Mario tennis on citra.
Guardians of the galaxy currently
Me too, but I’m not too impressed. I mean it looks great and all, but the gameplay is a bit monotonous. Maybe it caters more to fans who actually care about the story and characters.
So I’m throwing some Deep Rock Galactic missions into the mix. I’ve met a player in their first ever mission and tagged along to help out a bit and now we’re playing a lot together and it’s great fun.
Rock and Stone, you beautiful dwarf!
Tip: Check out latest devstream for awesome things to come.
Thats a wholesome story, I’ll have to look into that game. Yeah I’m enjoying it more as an interactive movie.
That makes sense, I probably just had wrong expectations :)
Baldur’s Gate 3 on the desktop because it’s so good and Bayonetta on my Steamdeck because I got it dirt cheap from humble bundle and it plays great there :)
Jumping around, Arma 3 with Antistasi mod, Saints Row, Dragon’s Dogma, Grim Dawn coop, and just bought Void Destroyer 2 for a very low price.
got some free time so i made my mission to beat all zachtronics games. right now i’m playing EXAPUNKS. finishing the levels are doable although requires a bit of trial and error, but getting good scores let alone perfect ones is a nightmare. highly recommend it to anyone that wants a great challenging puzzle game.
It was BG3 still with Palworld, but enough of my friends started playing and we made a dedicated private server. It’s now consuming me. I’m sure the obsession with subside in a bit, but right now it’s just dumb fun. Currently riding around on a panda mount duel weilding rocket launches and just laying everything to waste.
