Minecraft. I’ve gotten sucked in all over again, lol. Happens every other year at this point
Jet Set Radio Future!
Stellar game. Looking forward to Bomb Rush Cyberfunk.
Bomb Rush Cyberfunk is the reason I’m replaying JSRF all these years later! I’m (im)patiently waiting for its release
Man, I loved that game and played the hell out of it when I first got it. The music is just so damn good that I still listen to it despite not playing for so many years.
The music is so fucking good in JSRF and JSR. I’ve had the tracks in playlists for years despite not touching JSRF since I was a kid with access to the OG Xbox. It’s a shame it was never brought up to any other platform so I’m forced to emulate
Last of Us part 1. Never played a Last of Us, but streaming to the steam deck has got me playing more single player games.
Returnal
God this game is difficult
That game looks super cool. Will prob buy it when it’s on a deeper steam sale.
For me:
-
Wo Long, again, on the PS5 this time and with the Season Pass. I’m a freak so I’ll get it done before the first DLC drops this week
-
FFXVI. I have many, many thoughts about this game right now but I’ll hold my tongue until I finish it. i probably will.
-
PSO2:NG. I’m done with grad school so I’m delving into those big, forever games again. FFXIV is boring to me now so I thought I’d give NG a try. I played PSO2 a lil bit now and again. if you play this lemme know! I’m on Ship 3, but I literally just started, so
-
Battle Bit Remastered. The only FPS I’ve ever been good at is Apex. This is not that, but it’s fun and low stakes so I’ll take it.
-
Ender Lilies and Afterimage. I’ve been on a Metroidvania kick lately
-
Street Fighter 6. still searching for my main (and my skill in this game)
I’ve been playing “Haiku the Robot” that was recently featured in Humble’s Metroidvania bundle. It’s a really nice, small Hollow Knight clone.
-
So much Street Fighter 6. I’ve played fighting games my whole life, but I’m enjoying taking this one a little more seriously. I still suck in online but am slowly improving! Also playing Back 4 Blood with some friends, which is always fun!
V rising. I’m playing on my own server with just my husband on occasion. At this point it’s mostly barbie dream house. I send the servants off to farm and keep redecorating.
I’m a little conflicted about having a prison in my house though. My husband tells me I’m a vampire so that makes it ok.
Friend and I played quite a bit when V Rising first came out. Had fun with it, but I personally got sick of having to constantly pivot the camera because the scenery was always blocking my view. I know they just released a big update recently, I may have to check it out again.
Finished the campaign for D4 over the weekend, still lightly dipping into TOTK, trying not to rush through it.
Waiting for the first season to not burnout on D4, probably in need of picking up another game here soon. Really could go from something like Stardew….
Stellaris, all day every day. I’m not exaggerating either. Last weekend you could play it for free, so I thought why not give it a shot, you know? I like sci-fi themed games and I haven’t played a 4X game in a while. So I give it a shot and… it’s suddenly 1AM. So I buy the game. And most of the earlier expansions.
And now I play it every day. And when I’m not playing the game, I think about it. What will I research? How can I improve my economy? Will I attack my dickhead neighbours for laying claim to MY systems? Nah, just kidding. I’m actually thinking on HOW I’m going to attack them. A game hasn’t hooked me this bad in a long while.
You know what’s the worst part of Stellaris? Every time you think that you know all the content and that it’s getting boring, the devs just crank out a new DLC that significantly alters how the game plays.
So, it gets another couple of play-throughs.
Deep Rock Galactic on my own (rock and stone!), Stardew Valley with my wife, and Boomerang Fu with my kids. I’m visiting family next week, so I’ll need to decide on something to play on my Deck.
Tears of the Kingdom as I have been every day since it came out and as I likely will every day until I’ve one hundred percented it.
I somehow skipped over Hollow Knight until now. I’m playing that this week, and maybe forever.
The game is dope.I’m not a gamer.
I beat the original Contra on NES and I’ve barely played anything ever except the first Animal Crossing and AC:NH during the pandemic.
I picked up Hollow Knight for Christmas last year and it’s the first game I’ve played to completion in literally 35 years. I just got [no spoilers] ending with 105% completion like two weeks ago.
I can’t begin to convey how much I love this game. It’s definitely what I’m (still) playing this week.
Right? It’s just that good!
It really is though. I’m super excited for you :)
Slight spoiler warning:
Same for me. I put it down for a few days after failing Mantis Lords and Soul Master and getting salty about the bench placements, but after watching this video on why the Mantis Lords are fantastically designed , I picked it up again and start to really enjoy it – winning both of these boss fights in two attempts. Before engaging them again, it was worth exploring more and getting stronger. The game doesn’t communicate well how strong you currently are (e.g., by not having health bars for the bosses). The best clue was to see how well you can score against the standard monsters in that area.
Pathfinder: Kingmaker. Great RPG with half baked kingdom management tacked on. I’m still enjoying myself though.
Also, obligatory Tears of the Kingdom. I’m trying really hard to stay focused on saving Hyrule despite the dozens of distractions pouncing on me at every turn.
I started playing Battletech… (thank you Gog summer sale)
I’ve been into the BattleTech universe since I was a kid (when I first got MechWarrior 2 on Win95), and nothing has frustrated me quite as hard as some BattleTech missions.
There are some mega mod packs for that game too that drastically change the ruleset (hit mechanics, how cover and evasion works, etc) as well as add in hundreds of new units ('Mechs, armor, VTOLs, even Clan Elemental infantry if you’re playing one of the post-3050 mods). RogueTech is absolutely fucking infuriating, but so far it’s the closest you can get to tabletop rules.Thank you! Are these the expansion packs? Or are these user mods?
Community-made mods that you can find over at Nexus, but they usually require ownership of the expansions, if I remember correctly. You definitely want to play through the standard vanilla game for a while before you go messing with any mod packs though, because they are substantially harder.
awesome, good to know! Thank you, this is good advice. I hadn’t realized there were user made mods to start with, haha
Playing Cyberpunk 2077 for the first time and having a lot of fun
