I’m enjoying Control. It’s pretty good fun to play, but the story has really grabbed me.
Hope sequel will be as good as first one
I finished Nine Sols last month and I can’t recommend it enough. Aside from being a great metroidvania all around: great art, great music, great combat… I was most surprised by how good the story is. The world they built is really cool. Also, it’s currently on sale. Would recommend.
forgotten city! a masterpiece of storytelling
Indeed the game is very good.
I got the notification that it’s on sale now. I’m buying it today and can’t wait to play it when I get the time
Great! don’t read anything about the game, don’t watch previews, don’t do anything except play the game - your in for a treat.
I LOOOOVED that game.
Been playing for the first time Disco Elysium, but also have Kingdom Come:Deliverance and Titanfall 2 (Although I played it already 6 years ago) installed on my PC after getting them on deep sale recently.
On the Deck, Skyrim with mods and specifically beyond Skyrim Bruma. I have figured out how to install mods and you can sink a lot of hours in good ol’ Skyrim.
I also play Life is Strange: True Colours on the Deck.
Additionally the farmer was replaced is a fun little Python like game where you need to write Python like code to automate the manual labor on your farm. But this I play on the desktop.
Started playing Factorio again with a friend, been fun so far. Just today I played Tooth and Tail again which is really cool, as well as Skullgirls Second Encore which I’m not great at but is still fun.
Battlefield Bad Company 2 (from 2010)
It’s still very much playable in multiplayer! If you happen to have a copy - via “Project Rome” you litterally just have to drop one file from them into the game folder and boom - you got a working server browser again! I forgot how incredible the sound design in this game is.
Aw man I forgot about the sound design. I am tempted to try this.
People are still playing? That’s tempting, I still haven’t found something that hits the spot this game did.
Yeah I was surprised as well. There is not an overwhelming amount of players, but the last few days there were consistently 2-4 servers with close to 32 people online.
Is this on pc? I can’t imagine servers are up on xbox right?
Ah yeah afaik Project Rome is PC only. Probably not so easy to make this possible on xbox / consoles
BattleBit Remastered
I’m not sure if it counts for patient gaming but it’s super lightweight and so damn fun.
I just soft modded my old PS2 so I could boot game backups from a network share. So I’m playing Gran Turismo 3, NFS underground 2, Tony hawk’s Pro skater 4, NBA street vol. 2, and GTA: San Andreas. Basically everything and anything my teenage self loved at the time.
DOOM (2016). I originally got it when it came out, I wasn’t very patient then, but largely played multiplayer. I’ve been playing the campaign this time around and I’m enjoying it quite a bit.
I’ve been playing Pokemon Go, started back when it came out after niantic killed their other game I was playing to make pokemon go. (Not bitter at all)
Played a few weeks gave up.
Now I’m 30 and was out running and thought hey why not do this at the same time.
Hitman 3 freelancer mode. The ultimate James Bond simulator.
It’s incredible, feels like such a perfect addition to an already excellent game.
What’s the deal with the Hitman 3 DLC? Which version do I need to buy if I already own Hitman 1 and Hitman 2?
Do you own both on the same platform? If you have them on same platform just download the basic hitman woa pack with all hitman 3 missions and it’ll sync the other maps from the games you own automatically. If you have it on different stores (epic/steam) you need to contact ioi.
Not Part One then?
Buy the one with the hitman 3 maps (Dubai, Darthmoor etc.) I went back to look at what I bought but it seems to be removed from the storepage. There’s only world of assassination. It syncs with your ioi account and adds the other maps
Thanks. Makes more sense now. It’s this edition if purchasing on Steam. Would I have the New York and Haven Island DLC if I already own Hitman 1 & 2?
All dlcs you already own will be transferred to woa. You won’t miss out on any progress or any content you’ve already paid for.
Replaying Kingdom Come: Deliverance, but this time no save scumming and on the Steam Deck. It’s really good, but the slight vibe of sexism bugs me.
Also playing the excellent Tactical Breach Wizards.
Stardew, trying to get that 100% thingy
I’ve been enjoying Assassin’s Creed: Odyssey. It’s got just the right level of compulsivity to keep me playing without destroying my life. Pretty relaxing, to be honest, although I don’t think “easy” mode is actually easy!
