Hey everyone! I have no power in here, have not checked if anyone has started one of these but I feel like being the change I want to see in the world.

So! What are you playing this week?

I just started off Claire Obscure Expedition 33, and at the same time, have been getting my girlfriend to slowly wean off of Guilty Gear Strive and try out older fighter games like Guilty Gear XX and a more recent one, BlazBlueCrossTag (both to great success)

Also still haven't beat the first major boss of Nightreign, not looking forward to the trashtalk from friends after the nerf because they did it first

Been playing a heavily-modded playthrough of Minecraft. Am enjoying building up my world to look alive.

Deliver At All Costs - fun game, but I swear the plot is just an excuse to feature those wonderful destruction mechanics.

Robocop - Actually not bad! I haven"t seen or played anything Robocop related in 30ish years, but I'll be damned if this game doesn't make you feel exactly like him ( for better or worse )

Pacific Drive - finally managed to finish this one after starting and abandoning it twice because it's just terrifying to me. ( I just had to start it again after reading Roadside Picnic and thinking "hey, this reads familiar" ). It's still terrifying, but absolutely great game.

Now I'm playing Kingdoms&Castles and Starbound again to calm the fuck down.

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

Deliver at all costs is pretty hilarious all round, really. I'm enjoying it on the Deck.

Robocop was a cool game, as a fan of the first film (AND ONLY THE FIRST FILM). I played that earlier in the year. I need to try it again in VR now I've upgraded my hardware. It choked hard on my old graphics card.

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

RoboCop: Rogue City took me by surprise. I was expecting a linear shooting gallery type thing but the game gives you some surprising levels of freedom to explore around. Much more immersive than I thought it would be.

Pacific Drive is so fantastic. I love the new endless mode they added. One of the best soundtracks in gaming.

Abiotic Factor, Nightreign a little, Outlast Trials, Monster Train 2, Across the Obelisk

[–] [email protected] 3 points 6 days ago

I just started Shin Megami Tensei Digital Devil Saga. It's a weird one and I love it! The atmosphere is incredible and the systems are really fun right out of the gate.

I also have a playthrough of Trails in the Sky SC going on and it's so charming. Great turn based combat too.

Aaaand I also tried out Slay the Spire for the first time to kill some time here and there and I have to say this thing should be regulated. So adictive!

Halls of Torment is nice

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

Picked up Star of Providence this past weekend and I'm hooked, the pause menu music has been looping in my head nonstop since

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

Finished playing through Atomic Heart, and because of that wanted to play a game that was, you know, actually fun instead of a miserable slog, so I've been playing Crab Champions and playing the original BioShock again for the millionth time. Sometimes Sea of Thieves.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 6 days ago

In between playing Infamous: Second Son and Super Mario 64...just playing SM64 for giggles.

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

Been playing Ori and the Will of the Wisps. Just completed Blind Forest and this seems like a great sequel so far. :)

[–] [email protected] 2 points 6 days ago* (last edited 6 days ago)

Shotgun Cop Man. Short sweet and simple from the people that made My Friend Pedro. The movement system and level design feels pretty sublime when you get in a good flow. And I just discovered there's Steam Workshop levels!

THERE'S SO MUCH GAMES!!

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

I've played some old Silver Box Dungeons and Dragons games (Heroes of the Lance, Dragons of Flame and Shadow Sorcerer) I got from a GOG promotion who knows how long ago. Stuff from 1988-1990. My god, those games suck HARD. Granted, PCs didn't have much in terms of "good real time action games", but those just feel awful from start to finish. The fact that increasing cycles or adding frameskips in DOSBox doesn't speed up the games doesn't help, either.

Shadow Sorcerer isn't as bad as the previous 2, no longer being a side scroller and being real time tactics, but it doesn't quite cut it.

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

Monster Hunter Wilds, and my friend and I play the Outlast Trials together. I haven't gotten far in MH, but I'm really enjoying it.

Abiotic Factor - I'm close to reaching the end

I'm still looking for a game for the weekend. I'm thinking of something with exploration, management and maybe first-person.

Final Fantasy Tactics on my RG34XX and Repo almost nightly with the buds

[–] [email protected] 1 points 6 days ago (1 children)

Have you bard-monked your way to high levels yet?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 6 days ago

I'm still in the early stages in my current playthrough. I've not yet caught up to the intro

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

Moonstone Island at the moment. And Baldurs Gate 3 because cross-play finally lets me party up with my husband.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 6 days ago

I recently finished Horizon Forbidden West and immediately started Oblivion Remastered. It’s just as good as I remember it and I’m enjoying exploring Cyrodiil all over again.

Swapping between "Flintlock: Siege of Dawn" and "Cathedral" right now.

Just finished 100% Ghostsong, Mummy Demastered, and Remnant 2 recently.

Patient gamer here. Playing Skyrim for the first time and having a blast.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 1 week ago

I've sunk nearly 800 hours on it.

Good luck.

I've primarily been playing Celeste and been enjoying it. I made it to the summit and now I'm going back through and trying to find all the strawberries, cassettes, and crystals without a guide and beat the B-Side levels. It's kind of a slog though, so I'll probably resort to using a guide eventually. Other than that I've been dabbling a bit with Elden Ring and GTA V and playing stuff like Pizza Possum and Plate Up with my fiancé.

First Witcher, pretty good so far

I just got my favorite game (Sekiro) to run on Linux! It wasn't hard or anything, just the first time I've gotten a Windows game to run.

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

Sword Saint is the single most satisfying boss victory I've ever experienced, no action game NPC has ever made me feel more like I was being outskilled by an actual person

[–] [email protected] 1 points 6 days ago* (last edited 6 days ago)

I'm playing Sekiro too! Such a fun game, so satisfying. And also kinda terrifying.

It was the first game I'd set up on Proton in Steam as well. What a world.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 1 week ago

I've been playing this 'medieval' mod(s) for RimWorld which basically limits you to medieval tech and has a lot more crafting spaces to make materials for things, like a loom to make cloth or drying racks to make straw or dried meat. Its neat but a little quirky and doesn't seem well tuned in parts.

I've also been convincing people to try out PULSAR: The Lost Colony, which is like a first person Star Trek adventure co-op game. The game gets pretty close to doing cool stuff, and has great moments, but doesn't quite nail it overall. That's almost more frustrating to be honest.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 1 week ago

I am still working my way through Expedition 33. I’m in Act 2 and I’d estimate about half way into that. I’m still absolutely loving it.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 week ago (2 children)

Tainted Grail Fall of Avalon

Tried the demo and it hooked me. Great game so far.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 6 days ago (1 children)

It certainly looks like it would fill the Skyrim void my brain sometimes has! But also new story that I might finish because I hated skyrims one mostly.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 6 days ago

I'm only in the second zone of the game but there's a lot to see and do just in the starter dungeon and the game's first zone. I'm really enjoying it so far.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 6 days ago

I want this game so bad. I've been itching for a Oblivion-style RPG for ages.
