Just finished Crysis. Started playing Slime Rancher.
What did you think of Crysis? I’ve been meaning to play it
It was okay, it looks much better than a 17 year old game from 2007. It starts out slow and the 2nd half of the campaign is more action packed. Story is pretty mediocre. Plays well on Linux with Proton on my potato machine.
I have it in my backlog, maybe I’ll check it out then. I played through most of Crysis 3 years ago and had fun but that’s all my experience with it. I don’t remember the game anymore
I did not know there was a Crysis 3 or even a Crysis 2. XD I probably wouldn’t be able to run them though. Crysis Warhead was so bad I’m surprised they made a sequel.
I really enjoyed some of the environments in Crysis 3. Probably not an objectively great game but it stuck with me. I still think about it frequently
Enshrouded with a friend. It’s been a lot of fun. The game mechanics are interesting and I like the variety of things to do.
I continued Witcher 3 after a long time. Trying to stop thinking of it as a chore to complete, and instead live it like an adventure where I can go and do something funny for a while without worrying if I get any progress.
I wanted to play Witcher 3 but I wanted to play the first two games first, and kind of felt like it was a chore. I only got about 6-8 hours into the first one before giving up. I’ll give it another try one day
Just finished:
- Grim Fandango - remastered edition still holds up with minimal moon logic
- Filament - puzzles felt a bit “grindy”/guess and check so I used a guide, but it was generally a great game
- Battle for Polytopia - I played years ago on mobile, but I got a Steam key, so I played and it’s still quite fun; I didn’t play all starting tribes, just a half dozen or so
In progress:
- Hogwarts Legacy
- City of Beats
- some random, short-ish games (trying to clean out some unplayed games before I go back to work)
Pikmin 3, Vampire Survivors, Gang Beasts, Pico Park, and a little Minecraft.
Slay The Spire. I usually feel neutral about rogue-likes, but this has got me hooked. The combination with the deck building might be it.
Hello! As someone who fell into the rabbit hole years ago, I would like to inform/warn you that “roguelite deckbuilder” is a genre.
Sorry / Your Welcome.
Not sorry, thanks a lot!
Skyrim. The Phoenix Flavor specifically.
I haven’t tried that mod pack before but I’ve heard good things. I tend to stick with mostly vanilla mods too so maybe I should give it a shot.
I just finished replaying Life is Strange (the original). Now I’m starting Stray for a first play-through.
I loved Stray. Genuinely one of my favourite first time playthroughs. I played it next to my girlfriend. End of last year I bought a PS5 with my work bonus for a union contract renewal, and that was one of the first games we played. Now we’re going to be getting a pair of cats in a week or so. I hope you enjoy as much as I did
You’re going to have so many scratched rugs and doors…and dropped cans of paint around your house soon! Well, my cats haven’t dropped any cans of paint yet, but based on my experience so far in Stray, it seem inevitable. Enjoy the new additions to your household!
Thank you! I’m quite excited. I’ve only ever had dogs but I’ve been around cats all my life, and the in-laws have cats so my girlfriend is familiar with living with cats. I’m pretty sure every one of my friends either has or had cats, so I’ve gotten lots of advice thankfully
Path of Exile 2 got me hooked bad. The combat is actually fun and you have to use a few different abilities at the right time to be successful, at least as a monk. It feels very, very satisfying to fight both mobs and bosses in that game.
And the yellow rare items are actually rare, so using blue items is very necessary. Not like in the first game where you had yellow items drop constantly so blue was just useless and not even picked up.
I finished Mouthwashing in one sitting. It was very interesting horror walking sim with PS1 style graphics. Story is good and requires throught to put everything together.
After some short bouts of Forza Horizon 4 and Dirt 5 I’m back at Final Fantasy XIII, hoping I can finish it sometime soon.
I bought the Halo collection and despite being annoyed at having to log in to an account to do anything, I am having to much fun replaying Halo 1
I’m doing a co-op playthrough of Halo: MCC with a friend. We’re currently on Halo 3. It’s very nostalgic
Just picked up Ghostrunner for $9 on GOG. Really fun and it’s a game you can play for like half an hour at a time, which is not very common these days.
Good pick, its a pretty fun game if you enjoy the “repeat until perfection” gameplay! Though I might be a bit biased since my buddy made the music for it.
I love that game. I haven’t finished it yet, I should probably get back into it soon. I think the sequel is out too, I’m assuming it’s also good but I haven’t played it so I’m not sure
Yeah, I had it in my wishlist for years but literally nobody talks about it so I never bought it. I only did it because I was about to buy BG3 and told myself “Hey, for the price of BG3, I could buy these other 5 games”. Turns out it’s very fucking good.
Yeah, it deserves more recognition. Hopefully someone reads this thread and decides to buy it
Mad Max. I’ve only played for like an hour but it’s been pretty good so far. Reminds me a lot to the Arkham games. I think GOG has it on sale for another 20 minutes. (10 am pacific).
I should really play it then. I absolutely loved the Arkham games
Just started summer year 2 in my first-ever Stardew Valley playthrough
Also Terraria with my spouse when we’re too tired to spend brain power on BG3
