Not playing yet, but I am SO excited for Remnant 2. It's one of the few 3rd person shooter games that I stuck with.
Obduction. By Cyan, the studio that made he Myst series. It's an adventure game with intricate puzzles, and it's been blowing my mind for the last few days.
Just beat tears of the kingdom. I think if totk had been released instead of botw it probably would've been one of the best games ever made... But with it being a follow up to botw it just felt way too similar for me to enjoy it. I essentially 100%ed botw so had no desire to just redo it again in totk. Basically just ran through the main story, did whatever side quests were easy, then fought Ganon. In a vacuum it was still a great game but I was sad it was so similar to botw.
Now playing the system shock remake. I beat 2 for the first time a few years ago and loved prey so have been excited to start it. Enjoying it so far for sure.
Been playing a lot of vampire survivors this week, it's quite relaxing after a long work day. But it's pikmin 4 day now, that'll be my whole weekend.
Backlog… so Far Cry 4
Heh, I beat that one a few years ago finally and I mentioned it to a friend of mine and he said, slightly confused "dude that game's like 6 years old."
Playing Forza Horizon 4 and Super Mario Odyssey right now. Games I have had on my backlog for too long.
Shadow of the Tomb Raider.
I’ve been bouncing between final fantasy XVI and Jedi survivor. Slowly making my way through the games and enjoying both.
Halls of Torment. $5 game on steam that is like a Vampire Survivors clone, but with more rpg elements to it.
Currently trying to get through FFXVI, but there are times it feels like a slog. Am in the midst of one if these low points right now.
As for what I’ll be playing, my StepmaniaX compact machine shows up tomorrow, so I’ll have that to assemble and play.
Bloodeborne and TOTK
Amazing combination.
I have to start another play through of Bloodborne.
Just wrapped up getting gold on every license in GT7 last night. Looking at the rest of the trophies and aiming for my first platinum.
Have put a fair few hours into Space Haven, but think I may have reached the end of the playable content I enjoy for now. Maybe I need to do a pirate run…
Playing The Fractured But Whole for almost a month now, it's a pretty enjoyable experience and it feels just like playing an episode of the show, liking it a lot so far.
Star citizen.Tried it during the free fly event, loved it. Even though it's a piece of shit, it is one of the best pieces of shit I have ever seen/played.
TES Skyrim - It's like a hideout for the past 11 years. Grim Dawn - Use it to get rid of the stress. The Sims 3 - When I want to build something.
Nearing the end of Trails of Cold Steel IV after spending the past several months working my way from Cold Steel I. I'm planning to get Trails into Reverie at some point, but will probably play the fan-translated Kuro no Kiseki first.
Eternal Return just launched out of beta so I'm going to be grinding that for the foreseeable future.
This week has been keeping up with Honkai Star Rail dailies. I haven't done the new patch content yet, but I'm just spending my energy getting resources and leveling my team.
Beyond that, I've been grinding some casual matches in Street Fighter 6. My local card shop is hosting a small tournament on Saturday, and I at least want my BnB combos to land. I don't think I'll win, but playing in Platinum is at least showing me where my weaknesses are.
Last but not least, I got Baldur's Gate 3 for the early access bit. It's fun, if a bit slow, and can be pretty punishing. Not sure if I'll play the full game by save scumming or just living (and dying) with the consequences of my actions.
Wife and I are trading off between Harvestella (mostly her) and Outer Worlds (mostly me). In Outer Worlds I'm on the third planet and rather enjoying the examination of extremism. It's fun. In Harvestella I'm still in late Spring, just got to the first set of branching quests. I'm a sucker for JRPGs, so I'm really excited to share this with my wife. Her favorite game is Stardew Valley, so it is that right crossover of genres to get her into JRPGs. Which reminds me, we were playing Chrono Trigger together a few years back and stopped at the Black Omen because of some family emergency. Like, three hours to go until we were done unless we wanted to go for all the endings. aaaaaaaaaaa
Nothing at the moment because I bought a new GPU and power supply, and somehow borked my whole computer just installing than.
I picked up 2 copies of Helldivers for me and my partner during the steam sale. Game is great fun and runs smoothly on steam deck. Totally worth $5.
Been playing a couple different things, when I have time and energy after work. Occasional heist in Payday 2 to get back into it before 3 comes out. Finally got a switch, so starting to check out breath of the wild and super mario oddessy as well.
Supersymmetry minecraft modpack, it's an alpha gregtech Minecraft modpack, pretty cool (a youtuber is doing a supersymmetry smp tomorrow, and I'm gonna be in)
Actually finished both my current games and a freebie.
Luigi's Mansion 3 started great but its pacing feels bizarre by the end. The floors started feeling pretty long and then you have two boss only flaws in a row, then a good floor followed by two more boss floors. Maybe busting out so many variations hurt it be size the ordinary floors always felt the most enjoyable.
Tunic started off enjoyable but the gameplay never hit and the last secret I did made me angry with how it was presented.
Ghost trick
I was playing Arkham Asylum since it was the only Arkham game I didn't finish as yet
I’m all into TOEM at the moment. Cute little game!
Nox Archaist - Wasn't expecting much, was blown away. Definetily not for everyone, but personally I think it's the most engaging game I've played this year. Surpasses even Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom.
And just to make it clear: this is not a shit post. I really enjoy Nox Archaist so much.
