Have you been spending hours trying to pass a level? Or maybe you are completely addicted to a newly bought game. Do you have a question about a game or would like to share something else? In the Weekly Discussion Thread, you can do it all!
Please don’t forget to use the spoiler tag as soon as you start talking about a storyline.
Playing through my backlog, and finally gathered enough courage to play and finish Soma, and now I’m going through the Turing Test since I felt in the mood for a Portal-like game and I finished the Entropy Center not long ago.
I just finished Talos Principle 2 and what a ride! I love Turing Test too and would also suggest Spectrum Retreat to scratch that puzzling itch.
Ohh haven’t heard of Spectrum Retreat, I’ll take a look thanks :)
I don’t play games as much as I used to, but I had a lot of fun recently with Carrion - you play an alien hive mind eating scientists and fighting security through an Area 51 style facility.
I played that on Game Pass, when it launched, and really liked it. Although some of the movement could be a bit frustrating, since you are just a blob of meat.
This game was an absolute banger.
I finished Baldur’s Gate 3, so i fell in the post-great-game melancholy. I reinstalled Hades and Stardew Valley, but ya know
Did you play Larian´s Divinity: Original Sin II yet? It might ease your pain a lot and it´s on -70% right now.
I played the one, all the way to the big fight at the end, failed it and got too exhausted to reload and redo it… But it was a really good game though , it’s true! Is the 2 as good/better?
Kerbal Space Program 2. The new For Science! update finally made the game fun and performant! And because I suck at the game, I needed to send 4 rescue missions to return Valentina from the Mun.
Is it worth getting over KSP1 yet?
Base game, not including mods? It’s comparable, especially if you didn’t like career mode and preferred science mode. I can see where they’re going and I really like it personally.
However, if you also include mods, and you kinda have to… the sheer quality and amount of mods that really elevate ksp1 is going to make the answer to this question “no” until it has been out for years. You simply cannot compete with a decade of overhauls, dlc sized expansion mods, and visual upgrades.
The only mod I used in KSP1 was the Engineer Redux(?) mod, but I uninstalled it when advanced orbital info was added to the base game. The science mode couldn’t keep me motivated after finishing the tech tree with a research lab on minmus, and the career mode eventually gets too easy and too hard at the same time. I find KSP2’s exploration mode to be a perfect balance of the two, so I’m having a blast!
Getting back into Monster Hunter World! Trying to tackle those endgame Iceborne quests and getting my ass kicked quite often. It’s really satisfying getting a good build going with armor set bonuses and stacking skills.
Also finally playing Super Mario Odyssey. What a game. The controls are so tight and responsive. I love exploring every nook and cranny, high and low, and almost always getting some kind of reward out of every effort and idea.
I wanna get back into MHW, but those unskippable cutscenes at the beginning are a PITA
Just recently started playing rimworld and I’m super hooked. Trying to complete the game vanilla first then dive into modding
I just finished Stray. I’m not really a cat person but it was actually really enjoyable. Turns out cats are great platformers!
I also finished Strange Horticulture yesterday. That was a pleasant surprise especially since it was set in the Lake District.
I’m now trying to decide between starting Baldur’s Gate 3 (I am not a fan of turn based combat), Immortality or The Talos Principle 2.
I started up Cult of the Lamb more seriously. I had it at launch, but it didn’t hold my attention between Hades for the roguelite action and RimWorld for the colony stuff.
But I’m currently bored of those two, so I’m playing this. Shit was getting frustrating with the gains for going and doing the dungeons… Until I learned that I wasnt actually cooking all my fish and had tons of fish meant to be sold. Money solved literally all my problems. Just like it would in real life 😭
Playing SCUM with old friends and having a blast. Game is beautiful, enjoying base building, killing zombies, exploring the map, and fighting for loot.
It’s really messing up my sleep schedule (and adult responsibilities) though.
I’m currently playing one of the games in Last Call BBS: 20th Century Food Court.
For anyone familiar with the Zachtronics catalog of games it’s like someone bolted one of the programming games onto one of their factory games, but the programming part is done using cables. Unsurprisingly, programming with cables gets quite messy, so even after a short break I usually have to restart a puzzle because I don’t recognize what part was supposed to do what anymore.
So yeah, great game, would recommend.
Playing through hades and now I get the hype. Super fucking fun
I played Hades on gamepass and I immediately knew that I had to buy it on steam.
Btw did you manage to get to the final boss ?
I’m trying to get to the epilogue boss now. I’ve beaten Hades ~30 times just trying to complete prophecies
Just finished Baldur’s Gate 3 and then started Hogwarts Legacy.
simcity 4, somehow
Coaltown needs more commuters, that smog isnt going to make itself. Agrarville needs more land for crops, which sucks for all of the residents who i think i’ll drop a natural disaster on top of. Industopia needs more cashflow for a harbor, and the city planning advisor will never shut up about adding more rail and road connections.
Fun times.
I just resumed playing Yakuza 7 after a few months of not playing anything. It’s a cool game but requires some levelling grinding apparently.
In previous Yakuza games I would just proceed to boss fights as a underlevelled character sometimes, but in Yakuza 7 it doesn’t cut it.
It’s a great game but that’s indeed one big issue of the game. Most of the game is pretty lenient when it comes to difficulty, but there are a few bosses that come with pretty enormous difficulty spikes. I’d recommend looking up how to power-level when you reach those sections.
WoW classic season of discovery! It’s my first time playing classic and I’ve been having a lot of fun. Just hit 25 the other day and starting world PVP, so much fun at these low levels.
