My mom got me Bloodborne for my birthday and I'm loving it. I'm not that far in, but it's great.

Just bought XCOM 2 on sale and I'm overwhelmed by the difficulty but can't stop playing

Are you playing the vanilla game or war of the chosen?
I love that game so much.

Trackmania! I'm trying to get better and I've been playing for the past few months, I have mostly silvers on the summer campaign now!

I'm playing some old school Black Ops II Zombies with some friends. Buried is such a great zombie map!

Warhammer 40,000: Boltgun.

I was on E2M6 before work got extremely hectic and I put it on pause for a while. Now that I’m finally getting back to it, I love it so much. It combines two things I love: boomer shooters and Warhammer. To extend my playthrough, I'm playing it how I play classic Doom: Boltgun start only, no saves (death means I start the whole level over), and Exterminatus difficulty. It's gotten challenging but I love the mastery that comes from playing a map from the beginning again.

Any boomer shooter fan is doing themselves a disservice if they don't check it out.

Playing Days Gone love the story and gameplay

I just started with Cassette Beasts, as it was finally on sale on Switch and I cannot get myself to play a Pokemon game on anything but a portable console. Just feels wrong.

It is... the strictly better Pokemon game, as people told me it'd be. I keep looking for issues compared to the classic games, but no, they did it all slightly~notably better. And wow is the soundtrack fantastic. And wow is the theming incredibly well done, with the walkman as the battle menu as the cherry on top.

Highly recommended. I cannot say much about the story so far, but what I've seen is indeed interesting.

Jagged Alliance 3 - very good sequel to JA2, more of the same with enough tweaks to make it fun and the campaign has thrown enough curve balls to keep me interested. Like the original it doesn’t hold your hand, which is good. Strongly recommend if you liked the original

I've been running through Into the Radius. It's in the easily top 3 VR games for me, it's does a incredible job at immersing you into the world which is basically like Stalker. Coming back from harder missions I've felt mentally exhausted just from how stressful it can get. But that stress is so addictive.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

Remnant 2 pretty good so far. Also really... don't start your run on nightmare difficulty. Not so fun.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

Lots and lots of TOTK combined with OSRS!

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

I don't typically play much video games but this time I decided to start up an old one that I never finished. Tenchu fatal shadows. I'm also trying to play through Evo search for Eden

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

Just got out of almost 3 years of nonstop genshin. I'm currently looking for a game to mindlessly 100%, like an assassin's creed game for example.

It the meantime I'm trying to beat all spirits spiritless in Smash bros. Will start Xenoblade 2 in september, already got XC3 ready

I plucked up my courage and I started Resident Evil 2 Remake. I finished Leon part. Doubting if play Claire part or not. Also I finished Inscryption. I'm now trying to finish the Warzone 2 battle pass since It ends in a few days.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

Definitely do play Claire's part! It's not as long, and there are some repetitive parts, but it does add more to the story and introduce some new characters (if you're not already familiar with the original or the franchise in general).

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

I am currently playing Everspace 2, i like the space combat very much, although at least in the beginning the crafting system feels quite slow.

[–] Starb3an 2 points 1 year ago

I'm playing valorant. It feels like cs 1.6 and gives nostalgia

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

Baldurs gate 3. Thought it would be more complete since it's coming out soon. Still good though.
I've always had trouble getting into these isometric rpgs for some reason. Divinity, wasteland, old baldurs gate, even dragon age origins. Somehow the disconnect between the control and the character gets to me.
I'm going to try to get deep enough into this one though so that the story can actually shine through

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

I am waiting for Baldurs Gate 3 to release and in the meantime I was just staring at my screen buuuut just got the word that both of the Zelda Oracle games are now on Switch Online or whatever it is called, so that is how I will spend my weekend:))

Dying light 2. Second time playing through, going for the "good" ending this time.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

The Mass Effect trilogy and simultaneously making a guide in Notion containing who to bring for unique dialogue, collectibles and instructions if they're not given in game.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

Just finished the main story of Pikmin 4, now working on the post game content. Also played a little bit of Cassette Beasts with the gf and it's an interesting game, pretty fun for the couple hours I played it.

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

Almost done with Pokémon Shining Pearl.. which has not been as bad as I expected. I mainly went for it to play with my 'mons only compatible with BDSP.

Just grinding the Grand Underground for mysterious shards now to catch all the legendaries in Ramanas Park.

Finally got around to playing Vermintide 2. Holy crap, I LOVE this game. Me and my girlfriend have been playing it, trying out all the classes and weapons. It is amazing how much build diversity there is in Vermintide.

Still just playing Team Fortress 2. This is how it usually goes with me; I pick one or two games at a time and play em into the ground. Relearning how to play Scout, which I was never very good at to begin with. Takes a lot of twitchy reflexes and quick reaction time, even moreso than the other classes except perhaps Sniper when flick-shotting.
