Gaming

My friends and I have been getting back into Team Fortress 2. Still tons of fun after all these years, especially the jump maps

Detroit become human is great! The universe is incredible

The last weeks I played valheim on my own server with some friends. It was so relaxing. But now the newest patch broke all the mods we were using.

So now I play Jak II and wonder how my child self could manage drone of those missions. Damn that game can be hard.

Brotato.

I’ve been playing through Octopath Traveler 2 but I got a bit burnt out on it and wanted something different so I picked up Rimworld yesterday and am really liking it so far. Lost my first colony to starvation because I hunted all of the animals and then left them to rot! 😂

Ori and the Blind Forest. I like the art a lot.

Currently investing some time back in ESO for a bit to check out the newly released Archanist class... not super impressed so far tbh. I mostly play GW2 these days so coming back into ESO again everything feels super clunky and slow for some reason, yikes. On single player titles, I have been dipping into The Witcher 3 a bit since I recently got a new rig that can run it at top settings, which is nice.

bought Spiderman Miles Morales on Steam last week, but haven't touched it, probably Sun Haven as well

Little bit of Beyond All Reason, little bit of Battle Bit, and lots of Rocket League and PUBG

I got a good deal on Assassin's Creed II and finally figured out how to hook up an x-box controller to my PC (yes, I'm dumb). I never played any of the AC games other than the first one when it originally came out, so I'm excited to get done with work and give it a shot.

Just started Soma, which was on my Gamepass backlog. What an amazing game! Brilliant. And that comes from someone who's not a horror game fan.

Also playing Overwatch 2. Trying to find a group who plays 8-10pm NZT

Dead by daylight is having it's anniversary event so largely that, mixed in with BattleBots and some diablo 4

Ghostrunner. I had a go at it some time ago, but it didn't really hold my attention. This time it's grabbed me. Super fast-paced and fun action, with an okay story (I'm not finished the story, but so far it feels fairly generic and that it'd building to a pretty obvious reveal) that I'm enjoying. If anyone is a fan of Mirror's Edge, I recommend this game; it's scratching the same itches for me, at least.

Detroit become human. I find many PS games that got ported to PC are good. Lots of attention to detail. Although some are hard to get into. Can they ever stop talking for a second in persona 5 strikers so we can game a bit?!?

Souldiers was on sale, and I have been wanting to play the game for a really long time. It got a lot of flack on it's release, because of bugs and performance issues, as well as complaints about difficulty, and class viability.

Well, IDK if the devs had to fix a lot of it or what, but it is in great shape now, and I kinda regret not playing it earlier. This game is fantastic! Great action RPG mechanics, combined with really great encounter design. All set in beautiful pixel art. I think it is kind of a mistake for it to throw you in a hard dungeon right away, and that is turning a lot of people off. But the design of all the encounters had me get through it.

I really like this game, and think the reception it got right off the bat is super unfortunate. I hope the developers aren't discouraged from making something else like this again, and can instead file off the rough edges that made it unpalatable to a large audience. I feel like the quality of the graphics really drew a lot of people in that weren't down for what Souldiers was going for. But it is quickly becoming my favorite metroidvania-ish action platformer RPG.

I'm revisiting the Ratchet & Clank series. I picked up the original 3 games for PS3 at a local game shop, and am trying to 100% all three of them. So far I did so on the 2nd game, and am about to finish that on the 1st game.

Satisfactory. Still got to complete that last step. And put trains everywhere. Can't seem to help it.

I remain enthralled by TotK

Factorio and art of rally

I'm playing Satisfactory, there's something really meditative about building an enormous factory on a beautiful world

Some fallout: New Vegas, hoping to buy subnautica: Below Zero when it goes on sale

Factorio. Way too much Factorio.

Diablo 4. Mate of mine talked me and another friend to play it and, yeah, he was right: love it. Not the kind of game I’d play alone but it’s brilliant as a laid-back social game (even if I’m getting a bit obsessed, build wise).

Age of wonders 4! It's been awhile since I got so engaged with a 4x, and this one's got a pretty decent combat system to boot (turn based tactical).

Zelda Minish cap, super mario bros, and some pokemon Gold. just been feeling the childhood games lately

Been hard on Diablo 4

and OSRS on the side because the grind never stops!

Final Fantasy X remake on PS Vita

Sea of Thieves. Always.

Finally getting a chance to play through Jedi Survivor.

Tears of the Kingdom on the go, Ghostwire Tokyo when I’m at home!

Also catch up once a week with a buddy to slowly work our way through Diablo 4

I'm getting batocera configured so all kinds of retro games

Symphony of the night and Mario 64 on stream baby

reliving my childhood on call of duty. picture an old man yelling at a screen and you get the idea.

looking for something new though. resource management, 4x maybe, but nothing deep.

Elden Ring again after taking a break from it for a while. Exploring new areas, it's fun.

Playing mostly Honkai Star Rail, and I’m in the middle of a Mass Effect trilogy run - quite literally, since I’m halfway through ME2.

Diablo 4 (PC) and I'm finally starting the kingdom hearts franchise I got the big pack thing from the PS store so I'm going to play through those.

I played Smushi Come Home. It's about a little mushroom making their way home. It's a platformer with some light puzzle elements. Really reminded me of A Short Hike, both in vibes and length. It clocked in at about 3 hrs but was mad cozy.

Started playing fallout 4 with a mod collection, I've never played fallout 4 this much, I'm enjoying it a lot .

Still playing Dishonored 2, and dabbling in cassette beasts

Pillars of Eternity 2: Deadfire

Gundam Battle Operation 2. Wanted to see if they fixed the matchmaking, and it's not as bad now.
Chunky heavy robots is my jam but the netcode is terrible...
