Apologies for being late on this. It completely slipped my mind! I drove across the country to continue moving stuff up north over the weekend, and just lost track of time I suppose. The threads here now! Expect another one on Sunday. ❤️
Just finished Rain World.
What a brave game to make. It is not afraid to scare players away. I admit, I ended up having to look up a map in order to find the ending before I threw my PC out the window entirely, but I acknowledge I was not in the right mindset to be playing. You cannot play the game to finish it, you must enjoy the gameplay for what it is, because it is not going to funnel you through the story at all, and you’re going to have a LOT of deaths that feel like total bullshit.
But the atmosphere, and the sound design, and the art, and the creatures, and their AI, and the world building are all top tier. I don’t know if I can recommend anyone play it, but it is a very well made game.
Dungeon crawl stone suop
I grinded crab champions super hard to get diamond rank. This game is just too much fun. I pucked up scrap mechanic again after playing it for 1 haur a few years ago. So far we both enjoy it quite a bit.
Just started War Thunder and I’m having quite a bit of fun.
Otherwise a bit of Last Epoch, a bit of Rimworld. Chill
Started Cyberpunk 2077 this week.
Cyberpunk 2077
The prologue was just amazing and it was a whole acid trip for a half an hour. I kinda felt Jackie would die because it was kinda hinted with the conversation V and he had before the heist but it was still sad. “See you in major leagues”. Damn.
And it doesn’t stop there lol, now my mc is a schizophrenic and talks to Keanu Reeves in his head. This game is perfect but I hope it has more heists like the one in prologue and isn’t just a revenge story.
If you’re really enjoying yourself I’d considering picking up Phantom Liberty as well. I played through the main game shortly after it came out on PS5. I was very ‘meh’ about it. But I recently picked up Phantom Liberty and started a whole new game, I probably doubled my play time, and still spent 4-5 hours after I’d finished all the story missions, just bumming around bc I was still so enamored of it. The story missions in Phantom Liberty are, in my opinion, better, bigger, and more emotional than the main game.
should I start playing it after finishing the main game?
I’ve heard people say you should start a new game. Which I did. But I think you’d be ok to jump in if you wanted. There’s a new neighborhood that it mostly takes place in. To start it, you have to complete some main game story mission about 3/4 of the way in, if I remember correctly.
Okay, I will check about that. Thanks.
- The Outer Worlds - Had this in my library for a while. Coming from the Borderlands franchise, I tried BG3, and accept that it’s a good game. It just doesn’t click for me at the moment. TOW is a nice mix of RPG and FPS.
- Deep Rock Galactic - Is my current “co-op with buddies” game.
- Vampire Survivors - 'nuff said, I guess
- Maniac - Vampire Survivors meets classic 2D GTA. Imagine the GTA Kill Frenzy thing, but that’s the whole game.
Playing Path of Exile with my spouse. Just returned Pikmin 4 to the library.
Path of Exile! I began with a minion sacrifice build, and while it’s good and I’ve killed all the major basic bosses sustain is hurting so I swapped into a BAMA build, and let me tell you haters of the Maw build, it clears faster than Bama because ignite is broken in Poe.
Finally picked up ghost of tsushima and started playing through it. Reminds me of RDR2
One of the prettiest games in recent memory. Except for…
Final act spoiler
The only thing that slightly annoyed me was that there is no snow on Tsuahima island. They took so much care with the rest of the game, even visiting the island, then they put a snowy winter on a subtropical island.:::
A little late to the party, but Helldivers II has been my go to. So much silly fun.
Also playing Necropolis league of Path of Exile. Started with an explosive arrow totem build but it wasn’t great for levelling, so rerolled an exploding minions witch. Much much smoother so far, and should scale right through maps for currency farming. Will see how invested I stay, as I’m waiting patiently for S4 of D4 to hit consoles, some really nice updates, and basically its more approachable than PoE.
Finished The Great Ace Attorney Chronicles last week.
This may be heresy, but I think I enjoyed these two more than both of the other trilogies.
Maybe it’s the setting or characters or unique mechanics, I don’t know, but I fucking loved every minute of it.
ULTRAKILL. It has turned into a recent addiction for me. Certainly my favorite action game of all time.
I had to stop myself from playing, because i was waiting for an update. Also, there is a multiplayer mod and it’s the most chaotic clusterfuck i have ever seen. It’s great.
I hope the Brutal difficulty update won’t come soon enough, because then I will just play more trying to P-rank everything again.
I’ve been playing cyberpunk2077 for the past month and a half straight. I was worried going into it because I thought it was going to still be bad. There’s still some minor bugs, but overall I’ve had an enjoyable experience. The only downside is that it’s eaten up so much of my time lol
Baldurs gate is just so good. Constantly impressed and on my way to act 3!
