Jackbox Survey Scramble
Basically like Jackbox Family Feud. Was a really fun all-ages activity over the holidays.
Path of Exile 2 π
Cyberpunk 2077
When a new game comes out, I'm compelled to play the earlier entries in the series first, so I got the Borderlands collection, and I'm playing through the first game now.
Everytime a new Borderlands game comes out (just the major ones), I've replayed the original before getting into the new one. All the sequels have at least one interesting variation on the formula, but none have matched the atmosphere and pacing of the original for me.
I played Balatro with my brother (we put in up on a TV)
Of any game? Codenames. Was playing with family when the clock struck midnight.
Of computer games, it was probably Kerbal Space Program, which I've just started to get into again over Christmas for the first time in years.
Satisfactory
Good choice. I've been going back and forth between Timberborn and Satisfactory for about the past month.
Minecraft with my kid
creative mode Java through Prism on Steam Deck, connecting to vanilla self-hosted server
Grim Dawn
god of war ragnarok. it will be the first of 2025 too while I finish off the berserkers
I just started getting into Deadlock and that was the last game I played in 2024. However, I only played for about an hour. Before that, in the same afternoon I played Foxhole for about four hours and Balatro for two.
Vacation ends the moment I put my phone down and go to sleep... It was a good time.
Edit: Ah I forgot we played Jack Box at the party I went to leading up to midnight. Does that count?
NES Tetris. I have a little emulator device that looks like a Game Boy Advance SP, and that's been my go to while I'm traveling
I brought in the new year playing Fire Emblem: Awakening (which I've been obsessed with after finally getting it working on an emulator). I'd been struggling with lunatic mode but I figured out I can just feed Robin because of the XP boost and then use her to carry the team. Changed her to Pegasus Knight and then Dark Flier and now I can just swoop in and one-shot any enemy and she's over-levelled enough that the enemies won't prioritize her, and if they do, she dodges everything and has enough HP to survive a bow to the face.
The early levels were very challenging and I had to heavily abuse save states but once I got rolling it's been a lot smoother. The two cavaliers you start with literally can't survive a single hit starting out. Since everyone's so vulnerable, you just have to get one unit good asap to avoid relying on your Jagen.
Cookie Clicker... Lol
Generation Zero
It's only 10pm in my timezones and I'm playing LA Noire.
Last game I finished was Veilguard. Pretty close to EoY. It wasn't exactly what I wanted, and the difficulty falls off a cliff as a mage when you get life steal, but it wasn't bad. The romance with Neve was entirely too... unromantic, and PG-13 though. Very disappointing. No intimacy.
Then I started CrossCode and it's been good. Feels like a mix of old snes games (Zelda, lufia2) and MMO, without the annoying parts like other players. The puzzles also aren't very hand holdy, which is nice. I feel like a lot of games are too aggressive with their "HEY IT LOOKS LIKE YOU CAN SLIDE THAT BRICK. HEY I BET FIRE MELTS ICE."
Path of exile 2
Heavily modded Risk of Rain 2, because somehow itβs still a delightful gem
A Traveller character creation session.
Cataclysm: Dark Days Ahead.
Not that I play a lot. I was just trying it, but it happened to be the last one I played last year.
Diablo 2: Resurrected
Actually played it while watching the fireworks.
My last game was grimlord. :) highly recommended to anyone who has a VR headset.
Tiny Rogues
Automobilista 2 - Caterham racing around Oulton Park as the clock hit midnight.
Earlier in the evening I played the latest Mario Party and some Jackbox games with the fam.
Just bought my self Lies Of P for Christmas. Didnt finished it yet but it was the last game ive started in 2024
I've been playing a LOT of arma 3 rpg's. So fun trying to smuggle drugs across the map before the police figure out what's going on.
Next year I'll probably move over to a larger playbase game with similar gameplay loop, maybe EVE online
Return to Moria for me. I picked it up for free from Epic recently and it's all I've played since. Going solo and I just made it to the Pilgrim Road waypoint.
Helldivers 2
For liber-tea!!!
TOTK
House flipper
On gamepass, and tha fully on gamepass because od never spend actual money on that game.
To the town of Agua Fria rode a stranger one fine day
Hardly spoke to folks around him, didn't have too much to say
No one dared to ask his business, no one dared to make a slip
For the stranger there among them had a big iron on his hip
Big iron on his hip
