RDR2 on Steam Deck. I never got far when I originally played it on my PC a few years ago and have been itching to play it again for the last few weeks.
Started a new game and so far it’s running really good.
Work and IRL stuff does not leave me with a lot of hours to game, but I did manage to put in a good few hours.
Reminds me so much of my situation. I have two kids and having a steam deck has changed everything for me, I went from not having time and/or brain space to game to being able to pick up my deck here and there and play when and where I want and not need to be at my desk or the couch.
I’m going through CP77 and plan to pick up RDR2 next sale.
Grim Dawn on Steam Deck and finishing up the collectables on Quantum Break which I usually stream that from my PC to my Steam Deck. I absolutely love the Steam Deck.
For better or worse I can sit and play way longer sitting on the couch with my Steam Deck than at the desk in front of my computer.
I started Baldur’s gate last week. That’s a really nice game !
And also playing Factorio, of course
Started playing Need for Speed Heat. Not really sure why but I am having fun with it.
Fun is what its about 🙌😊
Starfield, I can't not play. Also just bought Sea of Stars and I'm thinking of getting Jurassic World Evo 2. Is that Jurassic World worth it, if any of you have played?
It’s a pretty straight forward zoo sim with dinosaurs, I got it on sale for like 20 bucks and think it’s totally worth it at that price especially.
Games not very deep or complicated, but there’s decent management to be had alongside the story stuff if you’re playing campaigns.
This is super niche but I’ve been playing some older games from my childhood with RetroAchievements on my Steam Deck. Right now I’m playing through Pokémon Platinum, and trying to get all the achievements has me engaging with systems I didn’t even know existed! It’s really fun and super rewarding.
Also been using it to play SSX Tricky. RetroAchievements has leaderboards for some games, so seeing my time at the end of a race compared with everyone else’s is pretty surreal.
Ssx Tricky!?!? I have most emulators set up on my SD, can you point me towards the info I need to get this running? Played this game until my hands hurt on the Xbox, would be a frigging blast to revisit!
Still on metal gear solid 5 the phantom pain. I'm taking my time. I've put about 60 hours into it so far and still have lots to do. Not bad value when I picked up ground zeros and TPP for like 7 shmeckles in a steam sale.
MGS 5 is awesome. That's a great deal for sure. The Fulton system and using materials to research new equipment is addicting. Glad you're enjoying it!
Mgs5 has some of the best open world gameplay of any game ever made . Love all of the metal gear games.
Cyberpunk!!
Cyberpunk 2077. My second playthrough. First one with ver. 1.0 and it was painful
Its still on my list to play. Having played initially , what are your thoughts on the update ?
Finished some time ago afterimage. Pretty good metroidvania. I liked it despite some negative comments, I did not find many of the issues described, or very little of it. Tho I used a map to find my way around collectables.
Recently finished hogwarts Legacy. It's pretty good too, but it's cursed with bugs and not sure if it's abandoned by the dav as there wasn't any update in 5 months. Tho most of the game is fine without game breaking bugs or too visible.
I started yesterday GRIME. Another metroidvania. For now it's a bit soon to have a real opinion, but it's OK.
Love GRIME.
Have been showing my kid Chrono Trigger. I don't have anyone with good taste to talk to, so I have resolved to create one
Advance Wars By Web
Advance Wars is an old turn based strategy game, for the GBA (Game Boy Advance), and AWBW is a fan site to play AW online.
I've gotten pretty into it ever since Advance Wars Reboot was announced, and being able to play it in the web browser means I frequently find time to play...
Ironically I don't play the actual AW Remake because in classic nintendo style the multiplayer is extremely lacking, only being able to play with players added to friends list, not being able to upload/download maps except to friends, and extremely limited map sizes for online maps
Thanks for sharing, I'm doing a replay of it AW1 on my Steamdeck so I can play Advance wars 2 after (which I never played bfore)! Never knew about this website, gotta check that out!
Playing Baldurs Gate 3 at the weekends with my partner, midway through act 3!
Meanwhile playing Lies of P on gamepass for a couple of hours each day after work. Just got to the grand exhibition, it's actually an amazing souls-like
Baldurs Gate 3 turned into an addiction.
Cyberpunk 2.0 is a blast
Decided to give cs2 a shot, probably haven't played CS since shortly after csgo was released. Community seems worse, but do those reflexes kick back in even when you're an old man, and hearing the laments from young people as you mop the floor with them is an unexpected joy.
Cyberpunk minus Phantom Liberty, been too long since I've played properly.
Skyrim VR with all the fixins, maxed the esp limit, no esl support 😞
Bouncing between Mass Effect Andromeda when my kid is asleep or not around, or Journey to a Savage Planet when they are around.
I have been playing Phantom Liberty a lot. I've enjoyed it more than Starfield and BG3.
Before PL came out, I had started playing Sea of Stars. But it was extremely difficult to get into. Besides the S+++ tier pixel art, I thought the writing was poor: boring characters, bad dialogue, bad worldbuilding all made worse by slow pacing. I am gonna revisit this game sometime in the future I guess, though I don't understand its appeal yet.
Also I played Armored Core 6 for a few minutes and died to the tutorial mission helicopter like 10 times in a row. I guess some people find that fun, lol.
Despite the popularity I have no interest in starfield or BG3 Hoping to get armoured core 6 soon and can't wait for spider-man 2 . For now I'm just going to finish up breath of the wild .
For the first time in over 10 years. LBP Vita. Wanted to record it and just got sucked back in.
Also playing LBP PSP but not getting as sucked in
Cuphead
I'm back playing Escape from Tarkov. The game has some real performance issues and a pretty big cheater problem, but there is no other game on the market like it.
Against the Storm. I can pick it up whenever I have a free minute, and pause it or save and quit when I need to be doing something else. It's just enough of a challenge to be immersive when I'm playing, but the stakes are low enough that it's not stressful. And the music/ambient noise is lovely.
Finally playing through Jedi: Survivor. I'm loving it so far. It's like dark souls but with a better story.
Just finished Sea of Stars on PS5, true ending. Loved the way they improved on most aspects of SNES era RPGs , I just wish the story had been as impactful as the awesome gameplay, but I compare everything to Nier Automata so the bar is high.
Picked up Star Ocean First Departure R, and almost immediately regretted it, especially in comparison to Sea of Stars. Wandering aimlessly trying to trigger the next event , talking to every NPC in the village trying to move the plot along with barely a clue on where to go, that old design may have worked in 1996 but it's just not worth the time anymore.
I think I'll drop it and maybe try starfield on the PC, or I've got from final fantasy stranger of paradise sitting in my unplayed collection.
Torn between continuing my Zenith playthrough of Terraria and learning more Oxygen Not Included. I probably shouldn't have started both of those at the same time
Edit: So it turned out that what my brain wanted was to come back to Darkest Dungeon and try to actually beat it
I played oxygen not included a few month ago and realy had fun. At some point I just stopped, don't even know why. Realy want to replay though. So probably going to start again soon.
Doorkickers 2. Cannot stop.
Remnant 2
So much cool stuff to do, so many things to try and glorious gunplay. Damn, I fell in love with that game.
