I finished Nine Sols last month and I can’t recommend it enough. Aside from being a great metroidvania all around: great art, great music, great combat… I was most surprised by how good the story is. The world they built is really cool. Also, it’s currently on sale. Would recommend.
Returned to my 3DS and playing Etrian Odyssey 4. That series is great for party based dungeon crawls, with a good amount of choices for how you want to build your party.
Divinity original sin 2. It is not as good as I was expecting it to be. I keep getting bored and fustrated even if I really want to like it.
Oh howcome ? What did you expect from it ?
I remember being plesently surprised by the gameplay and the degree of freedom you are given. It felt rich and was actually a good time.
With how much hype I saw online I thought they had improved on the systems from from DOS 1 but in a lot of ways it feels worse.
The new initiative system means it makes no sense to invest points into it since no matter how high it is, your enemies will get to go first.
In my first attempt at playing I tried to have a varied team that can do different types of damage but the new armour system made that useless. The only thing that matter is getting as much raw damage as possible. Most of the interesting effects only apply once you take down all the enemy armour. This also make most traps useless since you can walk right through without any I’ll effects.
But the thing that irritated me the most was the inventory. It’s slow and annoying to use and so I decided to try the official mod. After using it to sort all of my inventory into specific bags I found out that you cannot trade or craft using anything that was put into those bags. At that point I just started a new game.
Now on my new game I am getting bored with how slow the fights are. This isn’t helped by the unintuitive puzzles and the weirdly toned story.
Damn… It’s been a while I played it so I don’t recall those things. It’s too bad really :(
What kind of game do you usually play ?
Just finished Wastelander 3 and before that 2 playthroughs of Disco Elysium.
I had a similar experience. I think it was mainly the small combat encounters that dragged out, as well as there being something off about the tone. But it’s hard to put my finger on exactly.
On the Deck, Skyrim with mods and specifically beyond Skyrim Bruma. I have figured out how to install mods and you can sink a lot of hours in good ol’ Skyrim.
I also play Life is Strange: True Colours on the Deck.
Additionally the farmer was replaced is a fun little Python like game where you need to write Python like code to automate the manual labor on your farm. But this I play on the desktop.
I’m enjoying Control. It’s pretty good fun to play, but the story has really grabbed me.
Hope sequel will be as good as first one
Pokémon Emerald, and PixelJunk monsters.
High on life. Terrible, boring gameplay. I think I’ll drop it.
Replaying Kingdom Come: Deliverance, but this time no save scumming and on the Steam Deck. It’s really good, but the slight vibe of sexism bugs me.
Also playing the excellent Tactical Breach Wizards.
🤣 it’s a 20 year old MMO called Wurm Online. The pacing and skill depth is pretty amazing for an older more patient audience.
HyperRogue. The lack of statted items means less time thinking andore time playing. Same complaint as many rogue likes though, it lacks a save and quit. I don’t care if it makes save scumming possible, it’s shitty to force people to finish a game in one sitting.
Oxygen Not Included. it’s taken over my brain.
It helpedel me understand thermodynamics intuitively the way Kerbal Space Program helped me understand orbital mechanics.
I got myself mildly addicted to Mindustry. Wiping out enemy bases can be pretty satisfying.
I’m addicted to Mindustry, and I wouldn’t say it’s mild lol. Started playing it a few months ago, absolutely love it
Just picked up Dave the Diver on sale and am loving it.
Edit to remove a game newer than 12 months! :-p
Hitman 3 freelancer mode. The ultimate James Bond simulator.
What’s the deal with the Hitman 3 DLC? Which version do I need to buy if I already own Hitman 1 and Hitman 2?
Do you own both on the same platform? If you have them on same platform just download the basic hitman woa pack with all hitman 3 missions and it’ll sync the other maps from the games you own automatically. If you have it on different stores (epic/steam) you need to contact ioi.
Not Part One then?
Buy the one with the hitman 3 maps (Dubai, Darthmoor etc.) I went back to look at what I bought but it seems to be removed from the storepage. There’s only world of assassination. It syncs with your ioi account and adds the other maps
Thanks. Makes more sense now. It’s this edition if purchasing on Steam. Would I have the New York and Haven Island DLC if I already own Hitman 1 & 2?
All dlcs you already own will be transferred to woa. You won’t miss out on any progress or any content you’ve already paid for.
It’s incredible, feels like such a perfect addition to an already excellent game.
