Wife and I are trading off between Harvestella (mostly her) and Outer Worlds (mostly me). In Outer Worlds I'm on the third planet and rather enjoying the examination of extremism. It's fun. In Harvestella I'm still in late Spring, just got to the first set of branching quests. I'm a sucker for JRPGs, so I'm really excited to share this with my wife. Her favorite game is Stardew Valley, so it is that right crossover of genres to get her into JRPGs. Which reminds me, we were playing Chrono Trigger together a few years back and stopped at the Black Omen because of some family emergency. Like, three hours to go until we were done unless we wanted to go for all the endings. aaaaaaaaaaa

Nearing the end of Trails of Cold Steel IV after spending the past several months working my way from Cold Steel I. I'm planning to get Trails into Reverie at some point, but will probably play the fan-translated Kuro no Kiseki first.

I’ve been bouncing between final fantasy XVI and Jedi survivor. Slowly making my way through the games and enjoying both.

Hunt: Showdown!

Exploring the Bayou in my holidays. Enjoying to play in different day- & weather type and it looks nice.

[–] behohippy@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

Halls of Torment. $5 game on steam that is like a Vampire Survivors clone, but with more rpg elements to it.

This week has been keeping up with Honkai Star Rail dailies. I haven't done the new patch content yet, but I'm just spending my energy getting resources and leveling my team.

Beyond that, I've been grinding some casual matches in Street Fighter 6. My local card shop is hosting a small tournament on Saturday, and I at least want my BnB combos to land. I don't think I'll win, but playing in Platinum is at least showing me where my weaknesses are.

Last but not least, I got Baldur's Gate 3 for the early access bit. It's fun, if a bit slow, and can be pretty punishing. Not sure if I'll play the full game by save scumming or just living (and dying) with the consequences of my actions.

Star citizen.Tried it during the free fly event, loved it. Even though it's a piece of shit, it is one of the best pieces of shit I have ever seen/played.

Just wrapped up getting gold on every license in GT7 last night. Looking at the rest of the trophies and aiming for my first platinum.

Have put a fair few hours into Space Haven, but think I may have reached the end of the playable content I enjoy for now. Maybe I need to do a pirate run…

[–] SMSPARTAN@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

For now I'm playing Battlebit Remastered and Remnant From the Ashes whilst I wait for the Early Access release of Remnant 2.

Bouncing between Xenoblade 2, WoW classic, BotW, and Gregtech. I have little time on weekdays- only an hour or two to screw around before work.

Control, story based, owned it for awhile and I finally have the GPU to play it.

Next is The Wircher III as I plan on reading the books. Currently finishing The Three Body Problem series.

[–] RainyRat@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I've just finished Control; picked up the enhanced edition (includes the DLCs), and thoroughly enjoyed it. The combat feels satisfying once you get the mechanics down, and I loved the plot/environment. Like playing a mash-up of the SCP Wiki and The Lost Room.

You can play Witcher 3 main story without needing to read or know much of any books. Having played Witcher 2 is a bonus however

[–] Pazintach@discuss.tchncs.de 2 points 1 year ago

TES Skyrim - It's like a hideout for the past 11 years. Grim Dawn - Use it to get rid of the stress. The Sims 3 - When I want to build something.

Heh, I beat that one a few years ago finally and I mentioned it to a friend of mine and he said, slightly confused "dude that game's like 6 years old."

The Isle (beta branch)

So much fun growing up as a Dino in a Dino eat Dino world. At the best of times it can be scary as hell.

[–] Redonkulation@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

I picked up 2 copies of Helldivers for me and my partner during the steam sale. Game is great fun and runs smoothly on steam deck. Totally worth $5.

[–] Lmaydev@programming.dev 2 points 1 year ago

Always playing Kenshi. Just can't put it down.

Also just reinstalled Seven Kingdoms AA for the 100th time. Still one of my favourite games.

[–] dinckelman@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

I got myself Cult of the Lamb, finally, and it's been an absolute blast.

Outside of that, I play a lot of ESO, and am trying to finish up the dead god achievement in Binding of Isaac. Both are also fantastic

[–] mathlad@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

Playing Forza Horizon 4 and Super Mario Odyssey right now. Games I have had on my backlog for too long.

[–] approxamatrix@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I was playing Arkham Asylum since it was the only Arkham game I didn't finish as yet

[–] RaspberryJam@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

City gets all the love but Asylum is fantastic. Arkham Knight really surprised me with how fun it was, too. I couldn't get into Origins, but I had just played the others back to back so I may have been burnt out lol

[–] Zed@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

Playing The Fractured But Whole for almost a month now, it's a pretty enjoyable experience and it feels just like playing an episode of the show, liking it a lot so far.
