Just beat Factorio (launched a rocket) for the first time a couple of days ago. Feels good.
Default settings, and I got the Lazy Bastard, no lasers, no solar, no provider/buffer/requestor chests, and SLaTfAtF achievements in one go after about 80 hours in.
Continuing the Factory for now to farm the 20m Green Circuit production achievement. Slowly transitioning from a main bus factory to a city blocks factory. Blue circuits are my bottleneck, so I'm working on scaling up production off-bus.
Planning to go for the speedrun achievements next weekend. Want to 100% the game before the new expansion they've been teasing drops.
The factory must grow.
The factory must grow
I am playing with the Xendar's mod, richer ore patches, no creepers, just built blue science, now planning to upgrade my plastics/oil/rubber setup.
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.
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.
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.
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. 🤷🏻♂️
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!!
Elden Ring on PS4 Pro, with the volume turned up to cover the jet engine sound
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.
I recently fell back into super monkey ball banana mania and I've been having a lot of fun with it. Outside of that, it's been a good rotation of call of duty and the binding of Isaac. If you couldn't tell, I really love slamming my head against the wall as well
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 barely time to game, but have recently sunk 60 hrs into Elden Ring - with no intention of stopping! It is phenomenal!
World of Horror has been a blast.
Ark ascended sometimes.
And waiting for season of discovery in classic wow. Super excited for it.
I finally tried Death Stranding a couple of days ago. I'm still on it. The visuals and storytelling are quite compelling.
I do understand why it's not for most people, though. You do put a lot of effort into walking, but honestly, I've played harder games for less, so it's quite alright for me.
You do eventually get better accessories and become faster.
Ratchet And Clank: Rift Apart is also an amazing game. Rather relaxing to play. The visuals and story are also quite nice.
Detroit become human, my PC struggling with it at 1080p. I'm still having a lot of fun though
Red Dead
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
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.
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.
Mostly Inkbound. 2 friends suggested it on the same day a couple weeks ago so I gave it a shot. It kind of feels like turn based Hades. There's enough RNG to keep things interesting, and enough choice to let you explore different builds.
Also playing KeyWe with my girlfriend. It's a series of mini games where you play as kiwi birds in a post office. Some of the tasks can feel tedious and the mechanics could use some polish, but overall it's a good co-op game with cute animals and outfits.
I miss THE FINALS. I hope it releases before Christmas
Alan Wake Remastered since I've never played it and want to be caught up for Alan Wake 2
Prodeus. Amazing tribute to the classic doom games. Retro style with modern elements, gun play and sound design is spot on
got a chance to try lethal company on steam - it's a really fun online co-op horror roguelike where you scavenge for parts on moons that may or may not be inhabited. corporate doesn't care what's in these caves as long as it makes them money. great with friends or randoms, the proximity chat makes for a fun and scary experience with a drg / viscera cleanup style corporate setting.
also played through most of greener grass awaits, which is a unique and fun horror golf game - also free. i recommend at least trying it out, the horror gameplay elements mesh with the golf in a novel way that makes for a rare horror game with engaging moment to moment gameplay.
I've been playing old RPGs the past few months, and a lot of them are painful. I've realized that most of them didn't really have much content, but they forced you to grind levels between bosses to make it last longer.
That being said, last weekend I started Final Fantasy V.
This is what a JRPG should feel like! It's hard to explain, but it flows so well. I've had some challenging encounters, but changing my strategy usually gets me through it in two or three attempts.
I think I'm going to get further in this one than I have with most others. (I have WAY too many ROMs backlogged to waste time on games that I am not excited to boot up)
I’ve been drawn back into modded terraria recently and loving every minute. Highly recommend modded if you’ve played before or if you’re new to terraria magic storage is an amazing addition that doesn’t change the core experience.
Path of Exiles. Been many years since I last played, so it's pretty much a new game to me.
Also playing Sea of Thieves, but not as much as I'd like - it's boring sailing solo.
I had a whole earlier this year where I was playing nothing but SoT, nothing but solo slooping. Idk why, there's just something calming about the open sea when on your own; but there's also something harrowing about it too.
I had set a goal of saving up for my own ship, so when they came out with the 50% off sale this summer it was the perfect time to grind a bit. Then once I had my own "captained" ship I was able to make WAY more money.
I picked up Diablo 3 a while ago but didn't really play until now. Finished the campaign, jumped to adventure mode, got my 6 piece set and I'm now grinding for ancients. I just finished a greater rift lvl 100. It's fun so far but I should probably have started a seasonal character instead of a standard. But I'm too lazy to do it all again.
Tit on fall too
Underrail, the LMGs in the new expansion just shred everything.
Dome Keeper, Rogue Company, and Dune: Spice Wars.
