What are you playing this week?

Minecraft. I’ve gotten sucked in all over again, lol. Happens every other year at this point

Last of Us part 1. Never played a Last of Us, but streaming to the steam deck has got me playing more single player games.

Jet Set Radio Future!

Stellar game. Looking forward to Bomb Rush Cyberfunk.
- Bomb Rush Cyberfunk is the reason I'm replaying JSRF all these years later! I'm (im)patiently waiting for its release
Man, I loved that game and played the hell out of it when I first got it. The music is just so damn good that I still listen to it despite not playing for so many years.
- The music is so fucking good in JSRF and JSR. I've had the tracks in playlists for years despite not touching JSRF since I was a kid with access to the OG Xbox. It's a shame it was never brought up to any other platform so I'm forced to emulate

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.

Returnal

God this game is difficult

That game looks super cool. Will prob buy it when it’s on a deeper steam sale.

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)

I've been playing "Haiku the Robot" that was recently featured in Humble's Metroidvania bundle. It's a really nice, small Hollow Knight clone.

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….

Forever Skies.

It's like the Raft meets Subnautica, but with airships. It holds up so far, especially for an early access title.

I played the heck out of it too! The base building mechanics are pretty satisfying. I do like how they've set up exploration, and I can't wait to see some of the location designs, plus once they build up combat, it may create a pretty fun loop. The underdust is a pretty cool location too, hopefully it gets more than the one variant soon. That being said, I do think the roadmap is a pretty achievable one, and it'll keep people coming back when there are major updates.
- For sure, it's already quite polished for what it is, but I'm excited to see how they develop it.
  I can't play many single-player games for some reason, but games like the FS, Raft and Subnautica will hold my attention much better.
  They're very zen, there's something about "building camp", gathering, using basic (to use) tools that I think taps into something kind of primal for humans.

I somehow skipped over Hollow Knight until now. I'm playing that this week, and maybe forever.
The game is dope.

I'm not a gamer.
I beat the original Contra on NES and I've barely played anything ever except the first Animal Crossing and AC:NH during the pandemic.
I picked up Hollow Knight for Christmas last year and it's the first game I've played to completion in literally 35 years. I just got [no spoilers] ending with 105% completion like two weeks ago.
I can't begin to convey how much I love this game. It's definitely what I'm (still) playing this week.
- Right? It's just that good!
Slight spoiler warning:
Same for me. I put it down for a few days after failing Mantis Lords and Soul Master and getting salty about the bench placements, but after watching this video on why the Mantis Lords are fantastically designed , I picked it up again and start to really enjoy it – winning both of these boss fights in two attempts. Before engaging them again, it was worth exploring more and getting stronger. The game doesn't communicate well how strong you currently are (e.g., by not having health bars for the bosses). The best clue was to see how well you can score against the standard monsters in that area.

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.

Recently started playing Project Zomboid. It's a slow burn, but very satisfying when you make any kind of progress.

Beat Celeste so decided to try Ori & the Blind Florest and I like it so far. Also been playing Battlebit occasionally and started Horizon Zero Dawn.

If you enjoy Ori I’d recommend looking into Hollow Knight if you’ve not played it yet. Fantastic game.

I started playing Battletech... (thank you Gog summer sale)

I've been into the BattleTech universe since I was a kid (when I first got MechWarrior 2 on Win95), and nothing has frustrated me quite as hard as some BattleTech missions.
There are some mega mod packs for that game too that drastically change the ruleset (hit mechanics, how cover and evasion works, etc) as well as add in hundreds of new units ('Mechs, armor, VTOLs, even Clan Elemental infantry if you're playing one of the post-3050 mods). RogueTech is absolutely fucking infuriating, but so far it's the closest you can get to tabletop rules.
- Thank you! Are these the expansion packs? Or are these user mods?

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.

You know what's the worst part of Stellaris? Every time you think that you know all the content and that it's getting boring, the devs just crank out a new DLC that significantly alters how the game plays.
So, it gets another couple of play-throughs.

Playing Cyberpunk 2077 for the first time and having a lot of fun

I wish I could forget the game and start again (hoping for something along those lines once the Phantom Liberty update dropps lol) Enjoy!

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.

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.

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

Don't Starve Together. It's ruining my life since a friend gifted it to me.

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.

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)

Tears of the Kingdom, still.

Just finished TotK and now playing FFXVI. Both games have been absolutely amazing in their own ways.

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

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.

Brotato.

Got Fallout 4 with all the DLC for a steal so I am currently enjoying that. Also Battlebits Remastered on and off again.

Mannnn.... I really want to enjoy battlebits. Looks like it captures the old battlefield 'feel' really well. It's just super unfortunate that they are switching to an anti-cheat service that requires kernel access. Even if it didn't break compatibility with my system, which it will, on principle that's just too much trust given regarding my computer imho.

I never played EverQuest proper. But I played the crap out of Champions of Norrath on the PS2.

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.

Zelda Minish cap, super mario bros, and some pokemon Gold. just been feeling the childhood games lately

Hotline Miami

Just finished Tunic. I shan't spoil the game since I encourage people to go in blind, but it has so much charm in it and focuses on such a unique sense of nostalgia.

I plan on getting to Tunic eventual. I'm on Zelda totk and the probably Silksong when it drops, but I need to try Tunic as well.
I need to return to tunic. Played a few hours of it when it came out. Loved it but life got in the way.

Street Fighter 6! My first fighting game and the controls are difficult af, but I'm enjoying the learning process :)

Stick with it! The FGC is a great community :) We all know that initial hurdle sucksss but you'll have a grand time ahead of you if you manage to get ahead of it. Who are you playing as?
- I'm playing Manon so far! Love her aesthetic and she feels good to play :)
I'm a big fighting game enjoyer , do you know where that kind of discussion happens here? I have some in other instances but would rather contribute to an existing community here if one exists

I’ve been playing through Octopath Traveler 2 but I got a bit burnt out on it and wanted something different so I picked up Rimworld yesterday and am really liking it so far. Lost my first colony to starvation because I hunted all of the animals and then left them to rot! 😂

How was Octopath Traveler 1? I started playing it, but it seems a bit easy.
- I actually didn’t play the first one. I heard that the second one is better so I decided to skip the first one.

Factorio. Way too much Factorio.

I feel you.
- It is with very good reason called Cracktorio

FFVIII

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 really dig Citizen Sleeper. Agreed the later stages get a bit easy but it’s still great. (The endings can come out of nowhere but I’m still chuffed with the one I got.)

Final Fantasy X remake on PS Vita

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.

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.

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?

I need to start up Hogwarts again soon. I’ve been so distracted by other games that it fell on the wayside even though I was loving it.
100% feel you on Apex. I played a bunch on console, decent decent, and could ride through the pissed-off-ness. Moved to PC and the struggle is real. Still love it but ooof.

I'm playing Satisfactory, there's something really meditative about building an enormous factory on a beautiful world

Caves of Qud & Rain World

bought Spiderman Miles Morales on Steam last week, but haven't touched it, probably Sun Haven as well

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.

Ori and the Blind Forest. I like the art a lot.

Satisfactory. Still got to complete that last step. And put trains everywhere. Can't seem to help it.

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.

I went Diablo 4 to Diablo 3 to Last Epoch currently. Pretty fun so far.

Tried grim dawn?

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.

Little bit of Beyond All Reason, little bit of Battle Bit, and lots of Rocket League and PUBG

Detroit become human is great! The universe is incredible

I found it surprisingly nuanced, one of the few games where I will sit through the cutscenes
- I wasn't expecting much, I just heard of it and tried it out but it's good!! The question of ai conscience feels very pertinent rn and the story is fun. I like the choices and different paths that we can take

The last weeks I played valheim on my own server with some friends. It was so relaxing. But now the newest patch broke all the mods we were using.

So now I play Jak II and wonder how my child self could manage drone of those missions. Damn that game can be hard.

I, too, wonder about that. My most recent revisit of Jak II was me wondering how on earth I got through those hoverbike segments.

Elden Ring again after taking a break from it for a while. Exploring new areas, it's fun.

Been thinking of starting it again. After a mage and double claymore playthrough, it would be time for a spear/longsword run.

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.

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.

Some fallout: New Vegas, hoping to buy subnautica: Below Zero when it goes on sale

Finally getting a chance to play through Jedi Survivor.

Finally? it's only been out a few weeks
- @rockyTron Haha, yeah. I pre-ordered it planning to finish it over a long weekend. But due to a series of delays, it's been sitting in my library unplayed for almost 2 months!

Dead by daylight is having it's anniversary event so largely that, mixed in with BattleBots and some diablo 4

Battlebit remastered! And deep rock galactic

I'm revisiting the Ratchet & Clank series. I picked up the original 3 games for PS3 at a local game shop, and am trying to 100% all three of them. So far I did so on the 2nd game, and am about to finish that on the 1st game.

I'm beyond excited for the PC port of Rift Apart coming in July. I've never considered buying a PS5, with the sole exception of for that game. Grew up playing R&C on PS2, so it's gonna be great to get back in the saddle!
- You should really get your hands on a PS3 to play the rest of the series. R&C 1, 2, and 3 are available in 1080p as a collection, and you can download Deadlocked (skippable game, but it's there) on the PS Store still. Then there are the Future games, in order: Tools of Destruction, Quest for Booty (skippable game), A Crack in Time, and Into the Nexus. There's also some side games like Secret Agent Clank and Size Matters (PSP and PS2) and All 4 One, but those aren't part of the main series so they're skippable as well. PS4 also has the notable re-imagining of the first game (based on the movie based on the game) and it's actually a really compelling title, but not worth getting a PS4 over. I just happen to have a PS4 for other games. Rift Apart has me wanting a PS5, because I think these titles are best enjoyed with a home media center, but having it available on PC (and Steam Deck, apparently!) is really incredible and exciting.

Been going hard on Kenshi as of late. Such an amazingly unique game.

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).

Hardspace:Shipbreaker, ETS2 and some fs 22

Been hard on Diablo 4

and OSRS on the side because the grind never stops!

I got Diablo 4 with a gfx card bundle and haven't opened it yet. I need to get on that. Do you know how good the co-op is?
Also logged into my pure for a screenshot (Combat lvl 73.4). Was planning on getting strength up before I stopped playing. I love the wilderness in osrs, nothing else like it.

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.

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).

My friends and I have been getting back into Team Fortress 2. Still tons of fun after all these years, especially the jump maps

Is the bot situation better now?
- Much better. I've seen maybe 2 bots in the past month or so and they were kicked pretty quickly

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

I remain enthralled by TotK

Second. I'm taking my time and enjoying the exploration and everything. I'm sure this will keep me busy for a few months before I move to find Silksong.
- I'm some ~150 hours into it at this point, haven't even gone near the depths beneath the castle. Crazy how much content there is in this game; My wife and I want to play Diablo 4 together at some point soon, but for the moment we've just been cuddling up and both playing Zelda instead ... basically since it came out.

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

Detroit become human. I find many PS games that got ported to PC are good. Lots of attention to detail. Although some are hard to get into. Can they ever stop talking for a second in persona 5 strikers so we can game a bit?!?

@doktorRobot Ayy same here, just picked this up a couple days ago and been enjoying it
I loved Detroit Become Human

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

Granblue Versus !

Has it had that big update come out yet? It looks interesting, but I also am not sure I'd leave Strive for it

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.

Final Fantasy XVI. I'm enjoying it a lot so far, but wouldn't quite say I'm loving it. The lore and world building are really strong.

im playing that too, and i would say the same. i love it so far. the voice acting is wonderful, the music and the storytelling is top notch as well. but something about it gives me this strange feeling i can't quite place. first it was that feeling that i couldn't believe it was here and i was playing it. it felt like a dream for a good bit. but as I've played more idk what it is. idk if it's the pacing, or the lack of an overworld, or what. i can't tell if it's good or bad either way though.

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

Still going on Diablo 4, trying to unlock all map bonuses before the first season starts so my new characters get all the bonuses.

I'm just debating getting a PS5 for FF16 🤔

I'm pretty sure you still have to grind out renown on seasonal characters.

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.

Lately, I've been obsessed with Into The Breach, a mecha vs kaiju strategy game bythe developers of FTL. It's surprisingly challenging, and more similar to chess than any other strategy computer game I've played before.

Into the Breach is GOATed with the SAUCE baby god I love everything by that team. Can't wait to see what they make next. I've put hundreds of hours into it across platforms despite being not the best at it haha

Just finished Metro Exodus. I think I’m going to dive into Assassins Creed Origins next.

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.

Just FYI Lemmy does have a spoiler format! It's the exclamation triangle in the markdown options. At least you can see it on the web app
- Oh, very nice. I don't see it on the app, which is what I was using when I wrote this comment. But I do see it on the site.

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).

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 😅

Story of Seasons and Two Point Hospital. I've completed the latter on PC before but this is the first time on PS5

Waiting til payday for Final Fantasy XVI. Stuffing my time with Genshin Impact, Pokémon and Final Fantasy XIV!

Started playing a couple days ago. LOVING it!!
- I played the demo and I was so sad when it ended. Really sucked me in good!

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.

Tactics Ogre Reborn. Enjoying the hell out of it. Had about enough of Vyce and Catiua though. Both of them are toxic brats, yeesh.

Absolutely loved that game! Need to do a replay soon

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.. ~~Molly~~ Muffy is to die for. Why isn't Flora marriageable?

Sadly, I think they were a little too faithful to the originals. Don't get me wrong I love it and some of the improvements made are great. However I also totally agree about the customization and the town kind of feels dead. Unless you want some kind of reward out of a character it feels pointless to interact with any of them... like the lines are the exact same over multiple years lol.
Been playing all day! It's definitely nostalgic, but I can see running out of things to do extremely quickly. I've been enjoying it though. The hill that goes nowhere except kills 6 hours was a bit of a gut punch though.
edit: I was devastated about Flora
