Just bought ratchet and clank rift apart on PC and really enjoying it. Playing in bed on my steam deck has taken over my last few nights
Very little time to play lately, so when I can I do a couple of runs in Dead Cells. Managed to get my friends online last Friday and we had a good session of Deep Rock Galactic. Good fun.
Ghost trick phantom detective
OMG.
The feeling when you’ve forgotten one of your favourites from when you were a kid and you read the name and think “that… feels familiar and exciting…” And then Google it to confirm it’s the very game you were hoping it to be!
Thanks! I’m getting it immediately!!
Talos Principle 2.
Such a good game.
I loved playing the first one, looking forward to playing 2 when it goes on sale in the future
I wasn’t going to jump on it because I have an enormous game backlog, but buying the bundle (pre-launch), since I already owned the first one, was $25. Money very well spent for this game in my opinion.
I’ve sunken my teef into disco elysium great game having hella a Time
I bought it on my daughter’s PS5, and got a few hours in, but then she sold the PS5.
Might get a chance to try again some day. 🤷🏻♂️
I’ve bought all the soulsborne games on release going back to Demons Souls, and I just sucked at them.
I am finally playing Bloodborne after giving up at the first boss many times over the years, playing co op with my girlfriend, who has beaten them all and platinumed quite a few.
While I got good enough to beat most of them, except Sekiro, I just couldn’t get the rhythm of Bloodborne, and always gave up, even though I know many people consider it the best in the series.
Going back to my tried and true method of “Just keep grinding and leveling up till you figure it out” finally worked, I beat the first main boss yesterday (with her as summons).
Really looking forward to this one as I’ve done a pretty good job of avoiding spoilers.
Keep grinding dude, Bloodborne will eventually click and you’ll get through it no problemo (as long as the fps drops don’t annoy you!). I haven’t played any video games for more than a year since I got burned out on them, but recently just played through another couple playthrough of my fave DS:R (since it doesn’t require much thought or effort for me anymore). Hopefully I can muster the energy to finish Elden Ring next (I’m about 80 hours in).
Elden Ring on PS4 Pro, with the volume turned up to cover the jet engine sound
Thrive. Essentially spore 2. Been in development 10 years and is entirely free to play. If you want to support them it’s €4 on steam.
I got foxhole a few days ago, and while I haven’t done anything aside from Frontline fighting yet, I’m hooked.
I’m in the same boat. I’ve mainly been doing logistics. But sometimes I’ll bring up a field gun or tank to use.
The Hunter: Call Of The Wild. Not as focused of a hunting game as you think. I find it a super chill walking nature simulator with amazing views and animal models.
I got into this game when RDR2 awakened a need for a good hunting game in me. I really enjoyed my time with it! Looking forward to the fishing one once they iron out most of the issues.
I wish they were the same game I’d pay twice for it as the Angler forests, ambience and maps are no where near as good as the hunter. Waiting for a need zone? Throw a line out and have a fish.
Really getting into the God of War on PC. Also, Blizzcon kinda refreshed my hopes in Overwatch, so have been coming back to it, as well
What about Blizzcon brought hope for you? I remember they actually cut off the world championship livestream halfway through so they could do their presentation instead.
I’ve never had much hope for eSports anyway, so not that :) But the “what’s next” section had some pretty promising stuff planned for next year. Of course, there’s always chance it could end up like PvE promises, but the new stuff should start coming in only like 2-3 months from now, so I am wait and see.
I guess it’s not that I full 100% hopeful for OW now, but rather cautiously optimistic - which is still an upgrade over how I used to feel
I have never owned a PlayStation but played GoW on PC last year and enjoyed every minute of it. It ran great and was a great story and combat system. I can’t wait for ragnarok to come to PC.
Honestly same
I barely time to game, but have recently sunk 60 hrs into Elden Ring - with no intention of stopping! It is phenomenal!
I’m finding it a bit underwhelming to be honest. It was so hyped, but it just feels like Dark Souls 4. I don’t find the open world really adds a lot apart from a lot of empty space filled with crafting components. The worlds in souls and sekiro were so carefully crafted and put together and I feel like the open world ruins that a bit. I guess after Sekiro did something similar but significantly different, I was expecting Elden Ring to be a bit more innovative. If I hadn’t already played the hell out of the three Dark Souls games I might enjoy Elden more. I’ll probably still beat it though and might change my opinion by the end - I certainly hated Sekiro and Dark Souls at times before I came to love them.
I am curious to see if your opinion changes as you get through it, as the more I explore the more I find unexpectedly unique and interesting areas (caves, wells, ruins, manors, towers, etc) with unique and well designed enemies and bosses at every turn. It may help a lot that I have never played a souls game so it all feels very new to me!
The little red ball things that give you health when you kill them make exploring the map so much fun. I made it a challenge to see how far I could explore without resting at a grace by actively seeking out those red ball enemies and it was so much fun.
World of Horror has been a blast.
Alan Wake 2. Amazing mechanics. It is so unnerving I can’t play for too long at night.
Dome Keeper, Rogue Company, and Dune: Spice Wars.
