Minecraft. I’ve gotten sucked in all over again, lol. Happens every other year at this point
V rising. I'm playing on my own server with just my husband on occasion. At this point it's mostly barbie dream house. I send the servants off to farm and keep redecorating.
I'm a little conflicted about having a prison in my house though. My husband tells me I'm a vampire so that makes it ok.
Finished the campaign for D4 over the weekend, still lightly dipping into TOTK, trying not to rush through it.
Waiting for the first season to not burnout on D4, probably in need of picking up another game here soon. Really could go from something like Stardew….
So much Street Fighter 6. I've played fighting games my whole life, but I'm enjoying taking this one a little more seriously. I still suck in online but am slowly improving! Also playing Back 4 Blood with some friends, which is always fun!
For me:
-
Wo Long, again, on the PS5 this time and with the Season Pass. I'm a freak so I'll get it done before the first DLC drops this week
-
FFXVI. I have many, many thoughts about this game right now but I'll hold my tongue until I finish it. i probably will.
-
PSO2:NG. I'm done with grad school so I'm delving into those big, forever games again. FFXIV is boring to me now so I thought I'd give NG a try. I played PSO2 a lil bit now and again. if you play this lemme know! I'm on Ship 3, but I literally just started, so
-
Battle Bit Remastered. The only FPS I've ever been good at is Apex. This is not that, but it's fun and low stakes so I'll take it.
-
Ender Lilies and Afterimage. I've been on a Metroidvania kick lately
-
Street Fighter 6. still searching for my main (and my skill in this game)
-
Deep Rock Galactic on my own (rock and stone!), Stardew Valley with my wife, and Boomerang Fu with my kids. I'm visiting family next week, so I'll need to decide on something to play on my Deck.
A lot of timberborn.
I can't allow myself to use the speedup controls in games, and I'm playing iron teeth (newly revamped) but for some insane reason I'm not letting myself build engines, and i made droughts longer, so basically 50% of the time i have no power and all my bots don't work.
Lol
Tears of the Kingdom as I have been every day since it came out and as I likely will every day until I've one hundred percented it.
Stellaris, all day every day. I'm not exaggerating either. Last weekend you could play it for free, so I thought why not give it a shot, you know? I like sci-fi themed games and I haven't played a 4X game in a while. So I give it a shot and... it's suddenly 1AM. So I buy the game. And most of the earlier expansions.
And now I play it every day. And when I'm not playing the game, I think about it. What will I research? How can I improve my economy? Will I attack my dickhead neighbours for laying claim to MY systems? Nah, just kidding. I'm actually thinking on HOW I'm going to attack them. A game hasn't hooked me this bad in a long while.
Recently started playing Project Zomboid. It's a slow burn, but very satisfying when you make any kind of progress.
Don't Starve Together. It's ruining my life since a friend gifted it to me.
I finished Overload this weekend, so I'm wandering through my backlog looking for a next thing that sticks with me for more than five minutes. Oxygen Not Included doesn't seem to be cutting it, so.. we'll see. I've got Cataclysm: DDA around as a light diversion until I get pulled into something, and there's always Guild Wars 2 and Deep Rock Galactic.
Dragon's Dogma: Dark Arisen. Started it last year but fell off because of how tedious it was. With the announcement of a sequel I thought I'd get back to it. The combat is really something enjoyable.
reliving my childhood on call of duty. picture an old man yelling at a screen and you get the idea.
looking for something new though. resource management, 4x maybe, but nothing deep.
Tears of the Kingdom on the go, Ghostwire Tokyo when I’m at home!
Also catch up once a week with a buddy to slowly work our way through Diablo 4
Final Fantasy XVI, I’m 70% in, and I’m having a real good time.
The story is interesting and keeps you going, not convoluted or opaque like in 13 or 15.
The sidequests are very boring at first, and still mostly fetch quests / fight certain enemies, but they eventually reward you with background story of the side characters, and some of them are pretty good.
The combat keeps throwing you new stuff with a good pace.
The eikon fights are what we can get as close to Asura's Wrath sequel. Every big fights are just hype
Also the music is top notch.
This game is gonna end up as one of my top 3 favorite mainline FF games.
(edit, deleted original post, since I accidentally clicked on post before finished writing)
Zelda Minish cap, super mario bros, and some pokemon Gold. just been feeling the childhood games lately
FFVIII
Tears of the Kingdom, still.
Just finished TotK and now playing FFXVI. Both games have been absolutely amazing in their own ways.
Pathfinder: Kingmaker. Great RPG with half baked kingdom management tacked on. I'm still enjoying myself though.
Also, obligatory Tears of the Kingdom. I'm trying really hard to stay focused on saving Hyrule despite the dozens of distractions pouncing on me at every turn.
Raft, still trying to find the last painting.
Also dabbled in Insurgency for the first time in a while.
Hotline Miami
Brotato.
Zelda, Tears of the Kingdom. Still. And probably for the next few months ;)
I got a good deal on Assassin's Creed II and finally figured out how to hook up an x-box controller to my PC (yes, I'm dumb). I never played any of the AC games other than the first one when it originally came out, so I'm excited to get done with work and give it a shot.
Some fallout: New Vegas, hoping to buy subnautica: Below Zero when it goes on sale
I'm playing Satisfactory, there's something really meditative about building an enormous factory on a beautiful world
I started with World of Warships. I played World of Tanks for a long time but not very successfully. Now I wanted to give Ships a go. I´m at level 5 now, which (as I wasn´t aware before) is where you get thrown into real battles with real people instead of the training wheel matchmaking they have up to level 4. I´m starting to get the hang of it though.
Dead by daylight is having it's anniversary event so largely that, mixed in with BattleBots and some diablo 4
Ori and the Blind Forest. I like the art a lot.
Symphony of the night and Mario 64 on stream baby
Age of wonders 4! It's been awhile since I got so engaged with a 4x, and this one's got a pretty decent combat system to boot (turn based tactical).
Little bit of Beyond All Reason, little bit of Battle Bit, and lots of Rocket League and PUBG
Satisfactory. Still got to complete that last step. And put trains everywhere. Can't seem to help it.
Been going hard on Kenshi as of late. Such an amazingly unique game.
Playing mostly Honkai Star Rail, and I’m in the middle of a Mass Effect trilogy run - quite literally, since I’m halfway through ME2.
Final Fantasy X remake on PS Vita
Caves of Qud & Rain World
Iron Danger.
It's an indie tactical RPG that's RTWP similar to other CRPGs. But the main feature of it is being able to rewind time to redo actions if they don't work out, so combat ends up being similar to a puzzle as you rewind and reposition or try new attacks.
The downside is that it's linear, and has no items and very little character progression which are what it's lacking the most compared to a typical CRPG, but it's an interesting take on the style of combat.bought Spiderman Miles Morales on Steam last week, but haven't touched it, probably Sun Haven as well
Hogwarts Legacy.
I kinda stopped playing since it came out I was so busy with university.
Now that I’m finished I can finally pick it up again!!Also apex legends on the side. I don’t know what it is about the game but I can’t stop playing it, even though it just pisses me off lol
Anyone else can relate?Hardspace:Shipbreaker, ETS2 and some fs 22
I finally upgraded my graphics card to a 4070 Ti, despite the ridiculous pricing (been waiting for over 3 years to upgrade and I've using a GTX 1050 on a 1440p monitor this entire time). Now I'm working through a considerable backlog of GPU-intensive games that I was unable run well or even at all.
Started with God of War and I'm loving it! Next up is Read Dead Redemption 2.
I've just picked up Brotato yesterday, it's a roguelike bullet hell where you build up your character and try to survive 20 waves using loads of different weapons and items. The great thing is you control your character with just one analog stick, but it's a lot harder than it sounds. Reminds me a lot of old flash games I used to play as a kid. I've only played for a few hours so far and managed to win one run. Personally, I love the experience of figuring out a gameand working out optimal strategies, an itch which Slay the Spire has been scratching for a long time for me. I can already tell I'm going to invest a lot of time into this game, I was hooked right from the beginning. Loving the sound of SMG bullets decimating entire hordes of enemies. Well worth picking up on steam, plays really well on the steam deck. The game is only £4 at full price, and it's 20% off right now.
Citizen Sleeper (discounted on GOG rn!) is really good. The timed elements are not as stressful as I thought they might be and the overall story is interesting enough to keep me playing. It does feel a bit too easy in the later stages, and I'm afraid I might have made a decision that is gonna end the game for me too early, but otherwise I'm having fun with it, can definitely recommend it if you want a sci-fi story-based / resource management game.
I've been playing the original Quake, as well as Deus Ex. I'm not normally a fan of boomer shooters, but Quake has been surprisingly fun and interesting. I realize this might be a complaint for some, but I appreciate the simplified arsenal of weapons. It puts more focus on enemies and the level design, which I appreciate.
Deus Ex is fun, but it hasn't had the moment where it fully clicks for me just yet, like Prey did. I'm still enjoying it, but I'm curious to see if it really grips me like some other immersive sims do.
Battlebit remastered! And deep rock galactic
Was planning on Final Fantasy 16; but last night I just claimed the Barbie Corvette in Forza Horizon 5, and then just spent an hour putting around the map and shopping for what cars the game has 😅
Minecraft. New patch is out, so I recently started playing with a couple of friends.
Turnip Boy Commits Tax Evasion. Just finished it last night. Was hilarious and short. Definitely get on sale though, it's less than 3 hours to 100%.
Diablo 4. Mate of mine talked me and another friend to play it and, yeah, he was right: love it. Not the kind of game I’d play alone but it’s brilliant as a laid-back social game (even if I’m getting a bit obsessed, build wise).
I'm playing Overboard, it's basically a "How to get away with murder" game. It's very fun !
Dead by daylight is having it's anniversary event so largely that, mixed in with BattleBots and some diablo 4
In trying to finish Tales of Legendia for the PS2. I'm currently at the character Quest for Norma. Really liking this game despite it's age, very funny game, brilliant music and interesting characters.
Diablo 4 is my bread and butter right now... with a side of Dredge on my Switch.
Just started playing Mars First Logistics.
Death Stranding. Bought it a while back, but wasn't in the mood for a more contemplative/atmospheric game then. Now seems to be a good time to appreciate running errands!
I'm getting batocera configured so all kinds of retro games
I played Smushi Come Home. It's about a little mushroom making their way home. It's a platformer with some light puzzle elements. Really reminded me of A Short Hike, both in vibes and length. It clocked in at about 3 hrs but was mad cozy.
I've been working through all the demos I downloaded during Next Fest so I can expand my already overstuffed wishlist. Between that I've been working through my second playthrough of Deltarune, finishing up all the stuff I missed the first time.
I just started Disney Dreamlight. Really enjoying it, nice and light plus adorable.
Final fantasy 16! It’s been great so far
Pikman 3 Deluxe
It's been fun, beat the main story. It's really short though which is kinda disappointing. Realized that if I had a friend the co-op would probably be a blast
The Isle
Diablo 4 (PC) and I'm finally starting the kingdom hearts franchise I got the big pack thing from the PS store so I'm going to play through those.
Sea of Thieves. Always.
Pillars of Eternity 2: Deadfire
I finished Persona 5 strikers and started Cult of the lamb... But I'm not feeling it
Gundam Battle Operation 2. Wanted to see if they fixed the matchmaking, and it's not as bad now.
Chunky heavy robots is my jam but the netcode is terrible...Assassin’s Creed Odyssey on GamePass. I’ve put in so many hours and it’s still not over.
Eastward
Warzone II, not proud about It.
Been a busy week or two in the house, lots of poorly children.....
But when I do get a chance to play I'm mainlining Bloodborne. I've never played it before but I'm absolutely loving it. Perhaps not as much as Elden Ring or Sekiro, but it's still really hitting that spot.
Probably gonna slow down with D4 until season releases, might go play some Guild Wars 1 for the week, and forget about it again for like half a year after that.
Just finished Tears, so I'm going through a campaign of Kingdom: two crowns for something different. Attempting a no death run.
TotK. Just finished all the shrines.
BattleBit Remastered
Such a fun game to chill out and just shoot things. Its nice that I can change the feel of the game so much by playing on different server sizes and the choice of weapons is nice.
Just re-subscribed to Final Fantasy 14, so that, and maybe something from the Steam Summer Sale that's coming up.
Street Fighter 6 when solo, and DMZ with the boys
diablo 4 and solasta mainly. still a region to finish in d4 and I wait for season 1
Just started Soma, which was on my Gamepass backlog. What an amazing game! Brilliant. And that comes from someone who's not a horror game fan.
Also playing Overwatch 2. Trying to find a group who plays 8-10pm NZT
Installed arma 3 and ksp again. So probably DCS
Cities Skylines. Auch wenn mich das SIMS artige DLC System nervt und ich sparsam mit Assets umgehen muss, weil sonst mein RAM voll läuft. Spaß macht es trotzdem.
Ghostrunner. I had a go at it some time ago, but it didn't really hold my attention. This time it's grabbed me. Super fast-paced and fun action, with an okay story (I'm not finished the story, but so far it feels fairly generic and that it'd building to a pretty obvious reveal) that I'm enjoying. If anyone is a fan of Mirror's Edge, I recommend this game; it's scratching the same itches for me, at least.
I just finished the storyline in Yakuza 0 and had a pretty great time. I might continue on with some more of the side stories and minigames but I'm itching to pick up on the story with Kiwami next
Diablo 4, hearthstone, hsr
Souldiers was on sale, and I have been wanting to play the game for a really long time. It got a lot of flack on it's release, because of bugs and performance issues, as well as complaints about difficulty, and class viability.
Well, IDK if the devs had to fix a lot of it or what, but it is in great shape now, and I kinda regret not playing it earlier. This game is fantastic! Great action RPG mechanics, combined with really great encounter design. All set in beautiful pixel art. I think it is kind of a mistake for it to throw you in a hard dungeon right away, and that is turning a lot of people off. But the design of all the encounters had me get through it.
I really like this game, and think the reception it got right off the bat is super unfortunate. I hope the developers aren't discouraged from making something else like this again, and can instead file off the rough edges that made it unpalatable to a large audience. I feel like the quality of the graphics really drew a lot of people in that weren't down for what Souldiers was going for. But it is quickly becoming my favorite metroidvania-ish action platformer RPG.
Conan Exiles. I've had it in my library for ages but never gave it much thought. I'm having a lot of fun building my fortress and converting the locals to be my thralls.
I just finished the main story for Bioshock Infinite. What a mind fuck. I'm still tripping over the reveal. I'm gonna be vague here because I don't want to give spoilers. And it seems there are no spoiler tags on lemmy yet.
I can't believe how many hints they gave me that I completely missed. They essentially tell you a couple of times, and I still missed it somehow. I almost want to go back and play it again to see how many hints I missed. I can think of a few off the top of my head, but I'm sure there are more.
Anyway, I'm playing the DLCs now. I enjoyed the first one, but the second one is seeming a bit painful. I really don't like stealth games.
Trying to play tears of the kingdom however the button location for sprint and jump are really holding me back. I don’t remember struggling this much with botw.
Factorio and art of rally
Yooka-Laylee hit that sub $5 sale I've been waiting for. Its really does have the charm, which is good because it still has some wild issues (imagine no remappable keybinds in 2023).
Just finished Metro Exodus. I think I’m going to dive into Assassins Creed Origins next.
Story of Seasons and Two Point Hospital. I've completed the latter on PC before but this is the first time on PS5
Lord of the Rings Online!
Been getting back into Horizon Zero Dawn! I planned on playing more of it sooner but just wasn't finding any interest until the past couple of days. Also picked up Pokemon Scarlet for the first time in six months to try finding a shiny Gimmighoul in the limited raid event that's happening.
Started playing fallout 4 with a mod collection, I've never played fallout 4 this much, I'm enjoying it a lot .
Got myself a steam deck and what do I play on it? Euro Truck Simulator 2. This game, I tell you, it's so incredibly relaxing and doesn't take a lot of brain power so it's great to relax with while sitting on the couch in the evening. 🤷
The outer worlds. Its pretty fun. Though kinds just Fallout with a space theme. Shame you dont get to fly the ship.
Story of Seasons, A Wonderful Life! I just got to summer, so if any one has questions, hit me.
I think it's very pretty, but its lacking in some areas; its pretty simple. My favorite things have been the characters and their events, what minimal amount of player customization there is, and enjoying the scenery. Maybe it'll pick up when I understand how to play better..
MollyMuffy is to die for. Why isn't Flora marriageable?
