Finished final achievements in Armoed Core 6.

Picked up Unrailed for $5 on Steam (great purchase).

Started a fresh file Ilin Stardew Valley, cause why not?

One more shoutout for unrailed, last videogame I played with my dad before we had to say goodbye. Very cool gameplay, tension without (much) violence, excellent co-op and A+ soundtrack. Simple idea, perfect execution

Pizza Possum. Very small indie game, but very fun.

I came back to Phasmophobia after a while. I forgot how much I love this game

Still obsessed with Star Wars: The Old Republic after all these years

I'm still working my way through Baldurs Gate 3: I guess I'm around the middle of Act 2. I am still loving the game :).

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

I'm at about the same point. Though I keep putting off playing it as I don't want it to end!

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

I'm in Act 3 and there's tons to do.

I'm also already planning a second run since I've missed so much in Act 1 and 2... although I've already played for 105 hours.

This game is insane when it comes to detail!

Half Life - Alyx

Space Station 14.

Frontier station gameplay: This game is intentionally complex. Gettimg a space suit on? Don't forget your oxygen mask. ..and helmet. ..and to make sure the oxygen's on. ..and that you have grav boots. ..and that they're on.

Grab an ore bag in one hand, pick in the other, and start breaking rocks. If you're lucky, you can get with a good captain and make some dough.

But honestly, i usually get paid more working as a janitor for the station. Or as a bartender, mixing up various drinks, if it's a good day and people are tipping well. I've been trying to run my own food truck, but it seems mostly what I do is die.

..but, then there's sitting at the bar after a good run, drinking and playing music. You can join in a midi band, or play your own uploaded song. Dance with people, or drop banana peels and watch 'em slip. It's a good tune to be alive.

Regular SS14 play: Or, try to do the above. But the station is faced with some awful inevitable catastrophe. Serve drinks and secretly dose them with hallucinogens, until the zombies come, or terrorists with nukes, or alien artifacts that do.. ..Things. Or join sec and try to keep the station going by dealing with whatever threats there are (including errant bartenders slipping drugs into peoples' drinks), or at least evacuate the people. ..and anyone could be a bomb-packing terrorist.

Or be a hamster. Or, y'know.. Anything you want to.

Last Epoch. The campaign isn't anywhere close to as good as Diablo, but the crafting and end game is way, way better. Despite it being in early access, it's very polished already. I'm having a lot of fun with it. I'm looking forward to 1.0 in December.

I'm still playing Lies of P. 26 hours into the first playthrough Not sure if I will finish it though. I felt more frustrated towards LoP than when I played FromSoft's games.

I hate that it uses multi-phase bosses so much, yet these phases tend to have nothing related to the earlier phase.

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

I'm playing this as well and while I haven't played sekiro, lies of p is harder than any of the other From soft games I have played.

After a long while, I felt more adjusted to their delayed attack and parry windows. However, I stopped playing for a week and now, I feel like I have to readjust the timing again lol.

I can't remember the specific name, but I am playing the latest in the Monkey Island series. I know it got a lot of hate online due to its unique graphics, but it has all the humor I always loved about Monkey Island and it is definitely worth playing. Especially since it is free on gamepass

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

I've been bouncing between Red Dead 2 and Cyberpunk (don't have the new DLC yet though, was going to clear all the base gigs first). I love the open world whiplash I'm getting between these two amazing character driven stories.

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

Tales of Arise cause I think I‘m out of exploration options in Hollow Knight and don‘t have the patience to overcome skill issue for the bosses that are next rn

I realized that after my long strategy gaming atrophy, I wasn’t ready to just jump into XCOM2 with War Of The Chosen content.

I decided to take it slow by playing the first Firaxis XCOM, with no DLC. Just plain vanilla.

It’s been a good priming for more complex strategy. Vanilla XCOM is friendly (perhaps too friendly) to stacking overwatch, with missions rarely being time sensitive, and the time sensitive one’s being very generous.

I still lost a few rookies early on, but I’m very close to beating the game. I already have a suitable psionic soldier, I just had to turn off the game on Sunday before I could build the special psionic armor.

I’ve got a squad of colonels with the stronger perks, best weapons and gear, and I’m ready to assault the alien HQ.

I’ll probably replay with Enemy Within DLC, and then move to XCOM 2.

Finally giving elden ring a proper go and playing through Alan Wake in anticipation of AW2

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

Gonna play dead island 2 this weekend

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

Sonic Frontiers the final horizon update. Very hard.

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

Sackboy: A Big Adventure, since my PS Plus subscription is running out and I don't intend on renewing due to the price increase.

After that, I'm going to start God Of War.

I'm between games at the moment, so I'm revisiting old favorites: Factorio and Hitman

I've got something like 170 hours in the modern Hitman trilogy over the years and still enjoy coming back to it sometimes. The only thing that comes close to it in the stealth genre is the Dishonored games.

Likewise Factorio: over 300 hours and the core loop is still so satisfying -- can't wait for the DLC, though

I was playing Baldur's Gate 3 but I'm burnt out on it at the moment. Combat is relentless in that game...
