Patient Gamers

Hades. I'm not a fan of rogue-like games, but this one is awesome! I bought it second time on a different platform and trying to beat it on 100% again. I think for me one of the most appealing things of that game isdesign. Like, it's done amazingly well, "with love and care" one would say

Hollow Knight - started last week and got through initial frustration, now I'm enjoying it and expect to love it by the end!

I've read for years that Prey (2017) was a game you do no research on and just go in blind. My goodness I'm glad I did. Love the game so far at about 2 hours in

This weekend I managed to get in some time with Boltgun and Signals. Apparently I was in need of chunky pixels.

Botgun - Warhammer 40,000 boomer-shooter nonsense.

Signals - Dead space but Silent Hill via the inventory management from RE (6 slots are enough for anyone, right?)

Replaying Hellblade. I absolutely loved it on my first play-through a couple of years back, and I'm excited to go through it again.

Spiritfarer - it took me years to get around to playing it. It's quite lovely!

Been playing through Cult of the Lamb mostly. It's pretty good aside from some repetitiveness involving your cult management and dungeons, but it's still got a nice amount of variety to it. Quests are super easy to just ignore if you don't feeling like completing them too. Looking forward to finishing it soon.

FF6. Not playing the pixel remaster, but the "Ted Woosley Uncensored" patch with bug fixes. I've tried many times to play this, and I'm now the furthest I've ever been through it! Have also started Ratchet and Clank Rift Apart on PS+, and I really should be playing that before it inevitably gets removed, but I'm sticking with FF6.

I just installed the Turtle Wow private server client, with a handful of patches and addons that make it run a lot nicer. I have no interest in giving Blizzard any more money, but I've had an itch to play wow lately. And I think it's cool they are expanding on vanilla things.

Edit: I've given the hardcore mode a try, currently only level 6 :)

The Legend of Zelda: Links Awakening which I got for my daughter as a used game for the switch. The original was one of my first games on the OG Game Boy when I was her age.

I've been playing Shapez that I picked up for $3 the other week. It's like a chill factorio, so it scratches that itch for me. Apparently they're working on a sequel, so maybe I'll play that next decade when it's on sale.

Kingdom Come: Deliverance. I had it on PC before but never finished it so I got in on the XBOX sale as I find it more comfortable to play on the sofa.

It's pretty good so far although the save system is irritating.

I hope we get a sequel announced soon.

Dead Space for the first time (2008, not the remake)

Horizon Zero Dawn on steam. Loving it so far

I've been back into Mario Kart since finally getting the extra DLC tracks. Just started Dishonored 2 and Mass Effect 2, though I've been a bit anxious lately, so I'm finding TOTK to be good therapy ☺️

Morrowind (OpenMW with expanded vanilla mods)

Sure it's no RDR2 but it doesn't look bad at all . Gameplay is crude to say the least but mods helps a lot. Story is great but that goes without saying.

Forgotten City. Wasn't sure I'd like it, but got really sucked in. Very dialogue/decision/story based. There is minimal action. Then, after getting 2 of the 4 endings, I'm stuck on the "Cannon" ending (Ending 4), because there is a line missing from the dialogue tree in the final conversation. I can find instances of this mentioned out there on the web, but nobody has a consistent solution. So now I've gone from being ready to gift this game to a friend who loves story-rich, puzzle-solving games to simply feeling annoyed.

Horizon Forbidden West. Finally finished my second replay of HZD, chasing for platinum, and Frozen Wilds afterwards. Jumped on HFW just yesterday - a bit let down by the dragging slow start...

Sniper Elite 4, lots of stealthy snipey fun.

X4 Foundations with Star Wars mod, inspired by finishing Star Wars Rebels.

Dying Light The Following DLC, playing co-op with a friend. Fun game, nice game world, difficulty is sorta unpredictable. Sometimes we get one-shotted other times we are parkour battle gods.

Wreckfest, always fun to go smash up some cars and win some races.

Star Wars KOTOR2, learned recently of the more or less essential community patch that will not be making it to the Switch, that reminded me I never finished the game. Pretty sure I finished KOTOR a long time ago.

Been playing PlateUp! With my gf, brother, and friends depending on the day. It's been a blast, I'd highly recommend it if roguelite overcooked sounds like a fun time to anybody!

I've also been playing Sid Meier's Pirates! It's been really fun, even if in some ways it's kinda simple. Despite it being fairly old, it's still engaging enough to keep my adhd attention affixed on it. Would highly recommend, especially since it's so cheap nowadays!

Not super patient, but it went on sale recently. Hi-Fi Rush has been fun. I don't think it's going to be a very long game, but it also doesn't seem like the kind of game that I want to play for a long time either.

Anyway, the animation, rhythm, and combat are all on point. The only thing that bugs me about the game is that switch between gameplay and cutscenes is a bit visually jarring. It's a cel-shaded game, so the cutscenes should have been made in-enging, IMO.

I've been playing Divinity Original Sin II with a buddy. I was pretty hesitant to try it out cuz I haven't played turn based games before, but I'm really enjoying this one!

I've also been not so patient playing Tears of the Kingdom. I'm admittedly a Zelda fanboy and I don't buy many games on launch so I let myself cheat this one time. I'm enjoying it so far, but there's just so much to do that it's overwhelming sometimes.

Just reinstalled Guild Wars 2; recalled enjoying my time there long while back and was glad to see Steam installs it just fine for playing on Linux.
