Patient Gamers

A cousin of mine came to my house in the past holiday days and he helped me to regnite the Yu-Gi-Oh! that lives in my heart.

He plays the new rules and such, I only know the very old ones so we had a few matches with the older ones.

With that said that motivated me to get a videogame of that, I first tried with Duel Links and Master Duel for Android, but then I noticed that Link Evolution was a thing for Nintendo Switch and I got it, it was perfect as it has all the Yu-Gi-Oh! plot I know and more, so I'm gonna use it kinda as a tutorial to learn the new stuff as it kinda takes you by the hand at the start of the new arcs... And you can play with historic decks (the ones that characters used to fight, or at least the most similar) which makes it fun and frustrating depending on the RNG of the CPU lol, anyway if it is getting hard you can create your own deck and pretty much beat them easily.

So yeah, any old Yu-Gi-Oh! Players around here?

I recently got a bonus from work and decided to buy a PS5 (I’m usually on pc). As a massive souls fan who’s never owned a PlayStation, my first two games I’ve tried out were Bloodborne and the Demon’s Souls remake. I always like to keep a non-souls game in the rotation too, so I’ve been blasting through Spiderman Remastered. All have been a ton of fun so far.

Outward Definitive edition

Gemcraft Frostborn wrath. It's a very well done tower defense with a huge amount of levels and nice meta progression system.

@InEnduringGrowStrong Apico! Very relaxing game.

Assassin's Creed Origins, I picked up the 3 pack last year of Origins, Valhalla, and Odyssey on sale, and am just having the time to sit down to play Origins.

Just finished hypnospace outlaw, great game, you moderate internet pages in a fictional 1999, so if you feel nostalgic of that time the game might interest you. I enjoyed the story, though the ending was a bit anticlimatic, at least compared to what started the last arc of the game

I've got a base PS4 and started playing God of War (2018) over the holidays. The wife and I love it so far. She's really into Greek and Norse mythology so she's really invested in the story and is sitting with me while I play it. We're already excited to pick up Ragnarok next.

Finally got around to trying out Nioh, pretty fun game. Im probably playing it terribly but its still enjoyable. Stay away from ledges though

I‘m mainly playing Black Ops III Zombies, Spiral Knights, DOOM (2016) multiplayer, and Genshin right now.

Out of these I can recommend DOOM the most, it does have notorious cheaters though that nobody‘s banning. You‘ll know once you get oneshot by guns you shouldn‘t get oneshot by.

Black Ops is fun but ridiculously expensive for its age. Spiral Knights is fun if you have friends to play with cause it‘s pretty dead. Genshin‘s Genshin.

Helium Rain

I'm currently playing Brotato. This game is 7 months old, but due to its low price (currently 4€) and hardware requirements I bought it.

I just replayed Little Inferno after something reminded me about it and I noticed there was a DLC released (in late 2022).

It's a sandbox puzzle game where you burn stuff in your fireplace and try to find combos. There's slightly more to it, but really just stuff that's there to stop you buying + burning everything at once and insta-completing the game.

The DLC adds a new catalogue and more combos; if you're replaying you don't need to replay the main game too as it just adds to that (with a few changes).

I'll be finishing up Shin Megami Tensei V this week. This is my first "smt" title, persona 5 was my introduction to this franchise and slowly working my way through.

I love the gameplay, managing teams and this is also the first game I've played where you're really supposed to use the items liberally, the items to recreate spells is actually going to vary based on your stats instead of a fixed amount, so they are always helpful even late game.

The maps. The maps are a headache. It took me many days to find the entrance to an important location. It is frustrating but maybe it's not my strong suit. I love playing it though, the fights don't get boring and mobs can still be challenging if you aren't paying attention.

Next I am going to finally play portal 1 and 2 because it is on sale for $7 on switch!!! I don't have a PC and have been wanting to play for years!!!

And I somehow avoided all spoilers besides the meme. PORTAL BUNDLE ON SWITCH

Atomic Heart. DAMN this games good!! I know it won the steam award for visuals, but it feels like no one is playing this thing? I'm a little ways before the end of it, but it's already rocketed up to the levels of Prey or Titanfall 2 or the bioshocks for me.

I was playing a lot of WWF No Mercy recently. Absolutely a gem of a game, it's very fun despite the wonky N64 control scheme. Kid me would've probably loved this game back in the day, but alas.
