Stray. I have been wanting to play it for a while and it’s currently on sale.
The environment is pure eye candy to me.
I started playing Stray on my Steam Deck a while back. It runs pretty much perfectly but I’ve got some problems with my left hand (I suffered a stroke last year) so I had to give up after a while. I too really loved the environment. The game is beautiful. I can’t wait for my hand to get better, so I can finish it.
Phantom Liberty, Forbidden West, Midnight Suns, Fallout 76
When I’m not playing baldurs gate 3, I’m stopping in on baldurs gate 1 which I didn’t play back in the day(I only had 2), The original kingdom hearts, a second playthrough of final fantasy remake in anticipation of rebirth, outer worlds, midnight Suns, guardians of the Galaxy, star ocean the last hope, and thr ever present vampire Survivors and Binding of Isaac. I’ve been hopping games frequently recently.
I admire your ability to keep track of all that. I actively play FF14 to fill my MMO slot and then some other game that is my mainstay at the time. If I dare even touch another serious title, it tends to completely push out the prior one, so I have been really trying hard not to start another bigger game while I’m not done with the last one.
It’s how I’ve been playing Yakuza 0 for the last entire year, coming back every half eternity. I really need to just sit down and play a title or take forever.
Ff14 is the reason my Backlog got as bad as it did. My plan was to quit after end walker but instead I never even finished the story and I hate myself for it cause I played since 1.0, but every time I go back I just keep thinking of every other game I could be playing instead and don’t wind up playing more than an hour.
I am just barely at the start of Shadowbringer now and I’ve been playing for more than two years now. I personally really enjoy having an MMO to continuously play next to other games, but it definitely doesn’t help with my backlog either, lol
Other than Metroid Dread, I also enjoyed Hardspace: Shipbreaker recently. There’s certainly joy to be had in doing a (sometimes) simple job well, and it keeps you on your toes just enough. Major bonus points for a story and characters that struck a lot of the same dystopian chords that Papers, Please did. Just, ya know, in space. I will absolutely play another game in this universe if one comes out.
I recently tried Original Sin 2 two weeks ago with the Baldur’s Gate craze. I’m not really a RPG player but I wanted to try it to make sure I wasn’t missing anything.
Conclusion: I really don’t like RPGs :p
Well now you know :D
I mean there are different kinds of RPGs. Maybe you just didn’t find your specific one It’s out there Waiting for you
Hope you have more fun with it than I did. XD
Xonotic. It’s an open source fps supposedly similar to Quake. It’s free, so no harm in checking it out!
I picked up horizon zero dawn again after a year since i dropped it. I really liked it more than a year ago. This was a really big deal for me since I felt like I lost enjoyment in gaming since 3 months ago. Playing HZD, really helped me find my groove back in gaming.
I’ve been playing a lot of BattleBit recently.
I play a match or two at nigth with a friend and it’s always a lot of fun. Everything from the people to the mechanics are enjoyable. At the beginning it was a bit confusing but I’ve gotten used to it.
Quake 4, bog standard 7th gen corridor shooter and the half way point makes the game slightly more tolerable, just enough to be considered ‘good’. On the bright side the lighting is great in darker areas, something that iD Tech 4 games excel at. I don’t know why most modern games dark areas look like you’re walking downtown at 9pm, when it should be much darker depending on the game.
My patient game would be Slay the spire, I still play it on either switch or Android several times a week.
However, this year I did something unusual for myself and not patient: I bought Zelda: tears of the kingdom (I did wait about a month after release). Ive already put probably 300 hours into it, and still have quite a bit more I can do, so the $/hour of entertainment value there I don’t think ive matched.
After years of Skyrim losing me to its jank, my mod list has reached a size of 450 and thus critical mass: Skyrim has finally pulled me in!
I‘m also playing Hollow Knight and a bit of Mario 3D Land on the Switch, so I‘m havin‘ a grand ol‘ time these days
I started South Park The Stick of Truth.
I never was a big fan, I only ever watched a handful of South Park episodes back then. Regardless, it’s pretty good even if you haven’t watched most of it.
For sure, if you absolutely hate South Park, maybe don’t get this…
But if like me you just never really got that much into it or haven’t really kept up with it, it’s absolutely fine.Anyhow
In it, you start playing as a mute South Park newcomer protagonist who himself joins a town-wide bunch of LARPERs in an adventure that goes off the rails.
It doesn’t shy from breaking the fourth wall.
It’s utterly fucking stupid at times, which is expected.Pretty fun so far.
Love that game. Had a joint playthrough with some of my friends back in college. Well I mostly watched and smoked weed, but I was there. I’ve also only seen a handful of South Park episodes but that game was a fun experience.
It’s very fun. I also really enjoyed the sequel, even if it felt like it lost some of its charme and attention to detail in exchange for scope and combat depth. Felt a little harsh to switch to the next one, but I had a lot of fun either way.
I started playing Monster Hunter Rise! I’ve played Monster Hunter: World before for a bit, so I understand something of how it works.
That didn’t stop me from trying to skip ahead in quests and getting pummeled a bunch of times though. Whoops!
I’m also finally trying to get a little further in American Truck Simulator. I’ve had it for a few years and have struggled to play consistently.
Uncharted 2 - making my way through the original trilogy
Jedi Survivor. It ran like shit when I bought it at launch, so I waited a bit and it’s been great so far.
I was just thinking about this one. Loved the first one and have been waiting for it to be all patched up. How did you play it?
