Still playing my first run through of Elden Ring, almost 250 hours in Have explored almost every corner, just finishing up now. Am having a blast!
Making some serious progress in Tears of the Kingdom and finishing up Final Fantasy XVI.
Trying to get things squared away, Remnant 2 come out soon and I'm excited about that.
I started Dead Cells because it came with PS Plus Extra (I think).
I played for three hours which I guess is a good sign. Actually my first run was probably unusually good. I picked up a fire blaster from a gold statue and that weapon pretty much one shot and burned everything up to the first boss, but I died in the next area.
My main gameplay complaint is fuck those bombs that explode into more bombs.
My other minor complaint is it’s a little too meta. I’ve already seen a bunch of obvious to blatant references to other indie video games, which detracts from its own world and identity a little.
I don’t know if I like it enough to keep playing. The areas can be pretty long. I made it past the second boss and into the castle area, and those enemies were just annoying. The clock tower was annoying enough. Even cheesing through them with repeated frost, I took a ton of damage from just a few enemies. So it is challenging, but I’m not sure how much I want to grind up to that skill level. I was sort of more frustrated / bored than having fun unfortunately. There are ten million things to unlock so maybe I’ll circle back to it at some point.
Since the Starfield gameplay showcase, I've been really itching to download Fallout 4 again. I might be a minority, but I absolutely loved the combat in it. Are you playing with any mods?
Just the unofficial patch and some player homes that I haven't gone to see yet. Still building settlements, and loving it.
Getting back into Alien: Fireteam Elite for some causal fun before making my 4th attempt to complete Tales of Zestiria.
Just finished Grime, so I'm diving into Oxenfree 2. I've also got Amnesia: The Bunker waiting in the wings for whenever I'm feeling brave enough.
Finished Getting Over It which was gifted to me by a friend as a joke. He assumed I’d never finish it. He was wrong!
While it’s super frustrating I did find it to be really rewarding as well. First run took 8h. I did it again today in 40 mins.
On to DOOM!
Burnout 3! After so many years it still is so fun and the emulator improves the graphics so it feela modern. Its a perfect game. Except there are no loot boxes so i cant satisfy my gambling addiction, or online play that is full of hackers so i cant feel like playing is totally pointless
Exoprimal, power suits vs dinos plus time travel and evil AI, topped off with sexy Russian and sexy robot, what's not to love
Finished Final Fantasy XII, the story at least, today. Thinking Yakuza Like a Dragon might be next, but I do already have mid game saves on Kiwami 2 and Judgement I could jump back into...
I finished Pokemon Legends Arceus a few days ago. I started New Pokemon Snap and Temtem right away. Marvel's Spider-man aside for when I need something more nervous.
Playing bits and pieces of a lot of stuff and nothing's really sticking. It's frustrating, haha.
Replaying Control because I never got around to the DLC back in the day, and I want to play it before Alan Wake 2 comes out. This is my main game right now, but I'm just slowly picking away at it.
Diablo IV - omnipresent side-game for me. It's grindy, and repetitive, and the end game and itemization need work, but I enjoy the combat so it's been a good podcast game.
Dave the Diver - Great game, but where I'm at currently it's become more mission-focused than I'd prefer. Still liking it, but my progress has slowed quite a bit.
The Rift Breaker - Picked this up in the Steam sale. It's fun, if a little confusing sometimes. The UI could use some work.
Yet Another Zombie Survivors - Despite the terrible name, this one's actually pretty fun. I've played an absolute ton of these things and some are more interesting than others... being able to add 2 members to your squad, as well as some of the abilities and stuff, make this one stand apart a bit. At least for a couple hours of mindless fun.
Voidigo, Revita, Crab Champions, Dropsy, and Going Under (among others, honestly) are some more that are rotating in and out as I try to find something that I'll stick with for a bit, but nothing's scratching the itch so far.
I have been having a ton of fun playing Everspace 2. I've also been jumping between that, Freelancer, and Endless Sky. On a bit of a space game kick. Definitely recommend all 3!!
I picked up the GTA Remastered Trilogy during the Steam sale, so I've been playing San Andreas. It's a game I used to have on xbox, and despite never completing the main story, playing it back then is a key gaming memory for me.
It's very bittersweet -- the remaster is absolutely terrible (although from what I've seen on YouTube, drastically improved), but the game is still really fun to play, which is a true testiment to the game itself. I really hope Rockstar releases a few more patches though. It's criminal to abandon one of their best games in such a state.
