Please don’t forget to use the spoiler tag as soon as you start talking about a storyline.
Black Desert Escape from tarkov Octopath traveler II
I got foxhole and oxygen not included on the last say of the steam winter sale and they are both amazing games
Oh boy, which side? Foxhole is a game you love and hate and it will take your time if you let it so make sure you’re doing things you enjoy and remember that you can’t win the war on your own so don’t try to.
Singleplayer I’m playing Cyberpunk Phantom Liberty, which is imo a stellar experience so far. I’m also playing Cassette Beasts on the Steam Deck, which is also a great experience. Like Pokemon, but also different in many ways.
Multiplayer it’s still Deep Rock Galactic, and I’ve returned a bit to AoE 4.
I finished Jedi: Survivor last week. The story was really good, and all the systems are basically better than the first one. Definitely worth a playthrough.
Then I started playing Against the Storm (going in basically blind, only knowing it’s a roguelike city builder), and boy it’s fun. The only negative so far is that the rounds can take some time (1-2h if I’m unlucky) and I don’t always have time for a full run since I’ve got two kids taking up the biggest chunk of my day.
Did you play on PC? Is the performance acceptable now?
Valheim when solo, Deep Rock Galactic when with friends. 10/10 I didn’t need all that free time anyway
Valheim is also great with friends by the way. We’re currently playing DRG, but we played Valheim quite a while back and it was a lot of fun together.
Borrowed Hogwarts legacy from my mate so I could play it during my vacation. Finished and got the platinum trophy on my ps5 within a week. I just could not put it down. What a great game.
Story was interesting and the world was just fun to walk through.
After that I started playing deaths door. Have beaten the story and now doing post end game stuff. I love these style of games. Playing this after I recently finished Tunic was just what I needed.
Also playing Fortnite, solo or with friends. Just had to get the Peter Griffin skin and his stupid little dance.
Bought some tables for pinball FX and mostly been playing twilight zone. Man, I just can’t seem to have good ball control in this game. Also not able to make slap saves for balls that goes straight down the middle is frustrating.
Slowly making progress through death cells, just a game here or there. Fun to waste a bit of time on.
I just finished the three King’s Quest remakes by AGD Interactive this weekend. I am playing Fallout New Vegas now.
Those were fun. The KQ2 remake was way better than expected.
I’ve got the annual New Vegas itch too, already got it perfectly modded on Steam Deck.
Fallen London. Very big browser game, a little bit unclear where to go for what but fun anyway.
Playing through Monster Hunter: World again! World was my first MH game when it first came out on PS4, and man I struggled. I never cleared >!Alatreon!<* or >!Fatalis!<. I used Insect Glaive. Now years later, with time spent in Generations Ultimate and Rise (fully clearing Rise) and finding a love of the Switch Axe it’s fun to see how different World feels now.
Just finished Alan Wake 2. I’ve never liked survival horror gameplay much so I wasn’t big on that most of the time, but everything else about it was great. I’ve never seen a game use music more effectively.
I think I’ll be heading back to Atelier Meruru this week. Might also give Dave the Diver another shot; I’m a little bummed that I’m not enjoying it as much as everyone else seemed to.
Working on 100% in Inkbound, revisiting Dying Light 2 with some friends for the new patch, went back to Insurgency for my milsim fix, and reinstalled Last Epoch in prep for 1.0.
How do you feel about DL2? Have it on my wishlist, I loved first one, but I was a bit sceptical on 2nd and I am still waiting to buy it.
Right now I’d say pass, after the big patch who knows. Really lazy writing in the story, every quest midgame is a fetch, and if you do a single event you will get OP in one session.
If you grab it on sale, don’t spec into wall ride for your parkour. It will constantly interrupt your jumps and hangs… Makes me personally nauseous and I play in VR half of the time.
Shame, that DL2 is such a miss. I was afraid of exactly the things you said… Well, I’ll wait and see. Thanks! Good night, good luck 😃
Was interested in Baldur’s Gate 3 so I did the only sensible thing, started playing Baldur’s Gate 1! Got the 2nd line up after that.
Been playing the shit out of battlebit. Just bought it for my friend as well and we played til 5AM last night
Still playing BG3! It’s really fun but the combat can be quite challenging, even when playing on the easiest mode with a modded party of 6 and infinite money. There are just so many things I have to keep in mind… Or perhaps my build just sucks lol
