Dave the Diver! Honestly one of the most fun games I’ve played in a long time
I've been replaing "The Legend of Zelda Twilight Princess" and loving the Nostalgia throwback.
The HD version on WiiU or the SD Version on GC/Wii? Are you gonna go for 100% or just a casual playthrough? :)
Personally TP has to be my favorite Zelda title, I replay it casually every 2 years or so.
I am Playing on Wii with 480p, I'll probably 100% when I get the time to do it. It's awesome to revisit it from time to time :)
Exoprimal. It’s the exact dumb fun I want it to be with its own little sense of humor that actually works somewhat. If you have Gamepass it is a no-brainer. I’m not sure about $60 or $70 or whatever it’s retailing at yet but this will undoubtedly be a game with a huge surge in users when they start selling it for $30 and under. The PvPvE format works very well for it, it gives you a real sense of urgency and has you moving very quickly. Gives the fights and deaths real stakes that aren’t just resetting progression or something.
I have been replaying Divinity 2. I had forgotten how good this game plays and looks. AND I was watching a "Let's Play" of DOS2 and noticed I missed some areas and stuff I didn't know I could do. So much dept and different ways to do things.
I was replaying DOS2 on my Linux gaming PC with an XBox controller because I think the controller will play similar on Baldur's Gate 3.
Fun days ahead soon exploring the world of Faerun and Baldur's Gate.
Battlebit, it's everything I wanted in the latest Battlefield titles and more, but made by 3 indie devs. Map votes, weapon attachments, classes, local voice chat, destruction, scoreboard, night mode on all maps... It's great.
I’ve finally gave in and tried Vampire Survivors… what have I done. I didn’t realize it was 3AM by the time I put my handheld down and suffering at work today.
Outside of that been casually replaying Halo CE and **Midnight Club 2 **
Once you've beat Vampire Survivors you can lose more time playing Halls of Torment. You can curse me later
Witcher 3
Never played a Witcher before and I knew I’d like it so I picked it up in the steam sale and man, I was right. I love it so much.
This might be one of my favorite games. So much replay value if you don't look up spoilers. If you didn't get heart of stone or blood and wine, you REALLY need to. They are like entire games themselves.
I got the whole bundle with all the DLCs so I am excited to get into it. I’m not very far in, only a couple hours but I am enjoying the hell out of it. Almost been late to work because I keep staying up too late playing it lol
Yooo I've also been replaying it. I've 100% it already but with the next gen updates there were a good chunk of changes. I've been loving it all over again.
I've been working a lot, so I've been decompressing with No Man's Sky
Playing Subnautica (original) for the first time and absolutely loving it!
Using a few QOL mods, I've given Subnautica 500+ hours of my life. It's an excellent indie title that more game developers need to look at as an example of what they should be chasing.
would you mind listing off a few of those? it's clunkiness is a lot of why i haven't been able to get into something that by all rights should be right up my alley.
Days Gone. New to me. My pet peeve is that the motorcycle is a piece of junk. It's got like 1.5 gallon gas tank and gets something like 2km/gallon. Or maybe it's 1 mpg, but the game uses metric for distances and imperial for volume.
Minecraft for the first time! With my 5 y/o who sits on his tablet. It's dangerous for us both.
I’ve been playing Metroid Prime: Remastered. It’s amazing to see the beauty of the world in this game, but kid me must of had way more patience for the backtracking
I don't spend too much on games and only buy if they're on sale.
Recently bought sleeping dogs for $2 and finished it 2 days ago. It was a 10/10 experience. Definitely suggest everyone to try it.
Other than that I've been playing Deep Rock Galactic.
Just finished TOTK so now I'm starting Diablo 4
How different is it from 3? There were a lot of complaints when it first came out. But I was wondering how much of that was just people being a bit overzealous.
Mass Effect Legendary Edition!
Dave the Diver .... This game took me by surprise.. it is SO addictive!
Also Witcher III which I've played before but I've lost my save games and it was in summer sale at Steam including the add-ons I don't know yet so I couldn't resist ❤️
Got into Rimworld for the first time and I've gone down such a rabbit hole that I don't know if I can ever stop. I've never played such a completely engrossing game before.
7 Days to Die - Incredible game, when it's modded, it never gets old
Guardians of the Galaxy - everything is amazing except the combat. The combat is really, really mind numbing and repetitive. Makes me wish the game would just be over already.
Dinkum - Pretty bland. Its fun at first but you quickly start asking yourself why you're even doing the grind.
Planet Crafter - More addicting than fun. But still an overall enjoyable experience.
PlateUp! - play this with my wife. Very fun and very challenging!
Cyberpunk is really good
Nothing, sadly, way too much work. But I'm planning to get back to my backlog soon.
Same here. Hopefully I have some time this weekend. Otherwise Soon™
I practically live in Hyrule (TotK).
Conan exiles
I finally caved in and started playing Spiderman Remastered. The combat is pretty simple but it's a lot of fun, and swinging around the city feels great. For some reason the game really likes making you play as MJ and Miles in bad stealth missions though. They're just so boring and I try to speedrun through them but every other mission just wants you to not play as spiderman and it's killing the pacing for me.
The story is also a little disappointing. There's so much spiderman material out there and it feels like they decided to do something more kid-friendly, at least so far. The villains are over the top, it doesn't feel like there's any stakes or drama and everyone is just really shallow. I'm still halfway through so maybe the ending will surprise me (doubt it).
Overall I'd say it's a fun game, but it's not really Amazing or Spectacular.
Taking a break from DotA 2 atm.
Filling the free time with Binding of Isaac and Factorio.
Lost and Jakob runs costing me my last nerves
Dead cells.
I discovered it when it was mentioned in a book by Cory Doctorow. It's an absolutely fantastic rogue-like game.
Been playing Cultic on Steam Deck and Street Fighter 6 on PS5. Cannot wait for the new Armored Core!
Control, story based, owned it for awhile and I finally have the GPU to play it.
Next is The Wircher III as I plan on reading the books. Currently finishing The Three Body Problem series.
Did a second playthrough of XCOM Enemy Unknown, and now I'm on to XCOM 2, which I never got into more than a few missions.
Still playing Street Fighter 6 daily. What an absolute gem of a game, and has taken most of my time recently. Hyped as hell for Rashid, and probably going to try and get my Manon to Diamond before he releases.
Started a bit of Baldurs Gate 3, loved it, and decided to just wait til it releases in a couple weeks now. So have played a bit of Forza Horizon 5, I never came back at the launch of the Rally DLC, but have been really enjoying it, and is a nice twist on the formula(time trial with call outs rather than the braking line), definitely worth trying if you missed it like myyself.
Other than that, about to start Season 1 of Diablo 4... I am not overly excited, and this will probably be the make or break for me on if I continue to check it out every season or not.
Death standing, trying to keep my sanity while delivering cargo in mountains without the baby.
I've been really enjoying Halls of Torment, it's like if Vampire Survivors and Hades had a child.
I'm off the bike for a few weeks with a right arm radial head fracture after I biffed it hitting a pothole while checking my map, so I'm using it as an excuse to play the Tale Of Two Wastelands mod for Fallout 3 and New Vegas. Trying to see how much of both games I can get through before I'm cleared to bike again.
Darktide.
It's bad and I should feel bad for playing it, but once you get past the absurdly long load times, janky cutscenes, regular crashes and absolute lack of any story or plotline, it's got remarkably addictive gameplay, and it's the only game that actively encourages your inner fanatic to pick up their boltgun and chainsword and KILL THE HERETICS.
It's like finding a kilo of PCP laced weed at the bottom of the dumpster behind the 7-11. I shouldn't like it, and it will probably kill me, but for some reason I can't stop smoking it.
Finally found time to get into Read Dead Redemption 2 and I must say it's pretty great. Game releases in the past decade have been a conveyor belt of garbage but this one is the exception.
