I just platinumed Jedi Survivor (which was awesome, you should play it) and I'm looking for my next new awesomeness to play.

Almost done with Control right now. It's a really good game. A little too creepy though!

[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 years ago

Control is one of my favorite games. Everything about it was excellent. I'm so glad they're making a sequel.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 years ago

Control is one of my all time favs, only one of three games I've ever 100%'d on steam.

I've been playing Battlebit Remastered on Steam and holy shit while it looks awful it's one of the funnest FPS I have played in a while. Super fun, super smooth, and scratches the COD itch from when I was a kid. I HIGHLY reccomend it!

Also Tears of the Kingdom.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 years ago (2 children)

That's the low poly shooter right? That actually looks pretty fun. I'll have to try it.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 2 years ago

Yeah I was hesitant at first because of the low poly but the gameplay is top tier.

Right now, Battlebit Remastered (which I just bought). Despite being not that good at the gunplay yet, I'm doing well and having fun just playing a medic and dragging people out of the line of fire for revives and heals. Highlight of today was frantically healing everyone in a full chopper while we dueled an enemy chopper over a capture point, with the pilot micspamming Pirates of the Caribbean music the whole time. Really brings me back to the good ol days of multiplayer lobbies (without a lot of the casual bigotry - game seems pretty good at actually banning it so far).

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 years ago

Man I really want to try this now. Sounds awesome.

Final Fantasy XVI, and it's consuming my thoughts to a degree that surprises me, considering I haven't really liked one of those games since FFX. I've already put 15 hours on it since Friday (quite a bit for me, I don't get very much time to game these days). It really is incredible; I haven't had this much fun with a game since probably Read Dead II. I'm also playing Battlebit Remastered on the rare occasion that my friends and I are able to game at the same time.
I travel for work so on my laptop I installed Fallout 4 with a modpack obtained through Wabbajack installer (Welcome to Paradise) and I'm playing through as a melee-only knight. I'm using console commands to stock up on stimpacks and radaway so that I don't have to stop and loot since I've played this game several times; I can just run around like a madman with a sword, slicing legions of enemies apart. Playing it as an action game has been a ton of fun.

Also nice username/pic @Teft, I'm a big Stormlight Archives fan.

I'm deep into the second act of Ghost of Tsushima and I'm completely baffled how I missed this game when it came out. It's absolutely beautiful in every way possible

Jump Ultimate Stars online and Chrono Trigger on DS

Batman Arkham Knight on PS4

Signalis - grabbed it on sale and playing through on steam deck.

Stellaris - I've spent too much time building empires only to lose interest in mid/late game.

Warframe: Really loving the Duviri update. I'm an old player but there's suddenly a reason to build out a lot of weapons that I've mostly ignored beyond Mastery farming. Fortunately, I kept everything so the only issue is having enough forma.

Minecraft: Randomly wanted to play it again (heavily modded, All the Mods 8, I have to scratch that automation itch). Haven't played in ages, so pillagers were a vanilla surprise and so was the fact you can now dig past y=0 (along with the new interesting caves and berries). In the end, though, I'm still a dirty melon farmer that subsists solely off my melons.

Kenshi: I also started Kenshi a bit ago. It's an interesting game, but it's certainly a slow burn which I don't necessarily like. I'm up to 10 characters now, but only two of them can handle combat with any degree of competency and everyone else keeps falling over from the slightest breeze. I'm currently just living out of Squin until enough passing by herbivores get stomped that my team can handle real combat. Fortunately, mining is extremely lucrative so I don't have to worry about food.

Steam Deck:

  • This means warp (co-op rogue-like that's pretty fun)
  • Dicey Dungeons

PC:

  • Tiny Tina's Wonderlands
  • Guild Wars 2

As far as singleplayer games go, I‘m playing Slay the Spire! I‘ve never played it much before (just modded meme classes) and it finally clicked with me!

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago

Fantastic game!

Final Fantasy XVI while keeping up with my dailies on Final Fantasy XIV and Star Trek Online and Savage raiding in Final Fantasy XIV

Currently playing Death Stranding and feeling fit from the amount of virtual walking and carrying I've done. Next in queue is Everspace 2.

I have been finishing up Tunic. The game is fantastic and I love seeing all of the small little things that have been accessible the whole time that I have since gained the knowledge to interact with.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 years ago

Black Mesa.

I started with Half Life 2 and played a lot of Counter Strike back in the days. This brings back memories even if I never played it and it's way better than I thought, too!

Lemmy. It's a pretty nice minigame whilst between breaks.

...

Still playing Tears of the Kingdom.

I will launch up Tactic Ogre Reborn when I'm traveling. Working on endgame right now in that one.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 years ago

Mix of Diablo 4 and Halo Infinite multi-player depending on which friend group is online. Technically started AC:Valhalla as my single player game, but I get so little alone gaming time these days that I'm still only 45 minutes in after 3 weeks.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 years ago (2 children)

Spider-Man. Jesus, this game is amazing. I'm trying to 100% the whole game, so far I'm at 82% on the main story, 100% on The Heist (wanted that costume), and 0% on the rest of the DLC.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Spider-Man is great. After you're done try Miles Morales. I like his active camouflage.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 years ago

Already on my list! I'm also so, so pumped for the sequel. Can't wait to see how it feels using the symbiote.

A weird mix of a murder mystery visual novel based in Joseon Korea (called Suhoshin) and FF 16, with short dips into Goat Simulator 3. Taking a short break from Pathfinder: Wrath of the Righteous, but I'll get back to it after these.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 years ago

I've been playing a ton of Diablo 4, trying to get through the story so I can hop into World Tier III and start getting endgame gear. Starting to get pulled into wanting a structured single play let game again though, so might get back into TotK to do some side quests, try to finish FF7 Remake, or play through Pikmin 3 again.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 years ago

You should try the Yakuza games. I'm currently on Yakuza 0 with 150 hours in it. I'm gonna have to play through again to get all the achievements, but it has been one of most fun games I've ever played.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 years ago

DayZ and Dwarf Fortress. The DF official soundtrack is so ooooo good

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 years ago

7 Days to Die. Basic zombie survival game. Friends and I set up a server and have been playing on and off for the past 2 years. The latest alpha version (A21) came out recently, so started playing again.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

I'm still working through Tears of the Kingdom.

I've also been playing the boardgame, Wingspan.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 years ago

Completely burned out, but I occasionally play Death Stranding, because that bad boy knows how to keep everything tight. I'm thinking about delving into the world of emulation, maybe some TRPGs - will see.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 years ago

My router died a couple of days ago (using mobile data to post this) do I have to play offline games... Good thing I installed a bunch of games on GoG just in case. Tried out Indiana Jones and the Fate of Atlantis this morning, currently clearing the tutorial dungeon in Daggerfall Unity.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 years ago

I've been playing almost exclusively Street Fighter 6 since it came out. I'm still terrible as it's my first SF game, but I am having a ton of fun

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 years ago

I have skyrim running on a janky PC. Haven't played it in a little bit, but I'm always about to lol. Soon enough.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 years ago

I'm not usually a fan of triple a games, but I bought Doom Eternal yesterday and its been really good so far.

Daggerfall Unity and Morrowind on OpenMW. Those games got me more hooked than Skyrim

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 years ago

Kingdom Eighties, it came out today and it's a little bit of a spinoff from the traditional kingdom games, quite fun tho!

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Replaying RDR2. I never beat it the first time, got burnt out around 80-90% of the story and gave up. Planning on finishing it up this time around.

My main game for way too long has been Escape From Tarkov (just can't seem to fully get away from it), but I've been taking a break from it for a few months.

In the meantime, I've been playing a lot of Slay the Spire, Monster Train, and emulating various games on PCSX2. It's been fun to play "lighter" stuff with less commitment! I'll occasionally pick up various other shooters for the sake of playing with my friends, there just isn't a lot in that realm that's really scratching the itch for me lately.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Just got Battlebit. Really reminds me of the good ol BF2 and BF bad company. Just a fun time.

Subnautica has been amazing! It is one of the best open world games ever made and I highly recommend it!

I've been stuck on All The Mods 8 (Minecraft "kitchen sink" modpack) for the last week or two. Kinda just caveman-ing my way through all the quests. Playing with Minecolonies and setting up an RFTools Builder in the mining dimension so I don't have to manually mine most resources any more. I keep meaning to get back into ComputerCraft, maybe that's my objective for this evening.

Atomic Heart. This game is amazing. It's been such a long time since we had a high budget single player fps with level design that not linear corridors and that are highly innovative in terms of architecture and style. Plus the fact that it's one of the best looking games out there, and there's lot of diversity (enemy styles, upgrades, puzzle rooms, weird story, etc). I nearly skipped it completely because of the Russian aspect, glad I came back to it. Fyck Putin for nearly making me miss on this awesome product. The only negative I have to say about it is the damn respawning resurrecting robots.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago

Replaying Control, I can play this one repeatedly.
