Stardew Valley and Deep Rock Galactic, same as the last couple months. My wife and I have been playing Stardew in the evenings, while listening to audiobooks.

Rock and stone, there is a drg lemmy community that is growing nicely. Hopefully they start pinning the weekly dives.

Bit late to the party, but recently got a switch and been enjoying some Hades. What a refreshingly great game!

I finished Bloodborne for the first time last night. I kept butting my head against the wall that was the Wet Nurse, but when I finally got her beat It only took 4-5 attempts to dispatch the end-game boss.

I absolutely loved this game, but it still falls behind Elden Ring and Sekiro in my ranking of those games.

Bloodborne was my first of these types of games. I had never even heard of FromSoft before then. This game and the memories of going into it completely blind are very dear to me.

Mostly just spinning wheels in my backlog waiting for baldur's gate 3 to release tomorrow.

Doing a re-play of the Wing Commander games. So far has been 80% Wing Commander and 20% the 'edit your config.sys file so the game loads' minigame it came with.

Rotating between Rimworld, Battlebit, and some Call of Duty to get some battle pass levels. That new shotgun is absolutely disgusting They released Slay the Spire on IOS in the arcade, so finally getting to play that when I’m out and about has been refreshing. I’d really recommend it for people that IOS game, although my favorite game will always be Bloons

Hows your rimworld colony doing? Have you watched sseth's video on bloons?

[–] RedForFred@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

Oh yeah, been a big fan of our local warlord for a while now. He got me back into Bloons after a long hiatus My Rimworld colony actually just got wiped out! 30 scythers piled though my defenses, which consisted of 6 tribals in light plate. Not exactly the most fair fight, but the elves held out as long as they could. o7

I'm still playing Kenshi and have started playing Temtem due to last month's Humble Choice. Sad to say, I am very sleep deprived.

I recently started playing 'minit', it's a small game, where each run is 1 minute long. Your character dies after a minute and start again from the respawn point. Any puzzles solved remains solved, and any item you get stays with you. Really enjoying it. You can complete it in 3-4 hours.

What about you? What have you been playing?

Edit: Playing it on PS5, it's available on PS+ Extra.

I'm back to the classic Hollow Knight/Stardew Valley combination that I wasted way too much time on years ago. Love the two of them, never got Hollow Knight completed though.

[–] atlasraven31@lemm.ee 1 points 1 year ago

War Robots. It is a shallow pay2win arena brawler and I love fighting over glowing rings with powerful robots.

[–] keeb420@kbin.social 1 points 1 year ago

I started playing temtem recently and can't put it down. It's great in the deck. It's the pokemon game gamefreaks should have made a long time ago.

[–] flipflapslap@sh.itjust.works 1 points 1 year ago

I just passed 200 hours in my first playthrough of Elden Ring last night. Quite the feat for me, as no game has ever held my attention for anywhere near this length of time. Not to mention, I haven't even uncovered the entire map yet. I'm quite saddened by the fact that I'm drawing closer and closer to the inevitable conclusion of this adventure.

[–] casualhippo@sh.itjust.works 1 points 1 year ago

Recently got a steam deck for the wife, we've been having fun playing Valheim together. Honkai Star Rail and soon to be baldurs gate 3 are also on the docket

[–] BaskinRobbins@sh.itjust.works 1 points 1 year ago

I've started playing through older games that I missed back in the day. About to finish Warhammer 40k Space Marine, also playing through Kingdoms of Amular: Re-reckoning. Both have been super enjoyable. I also picked up Forsaken since it was on sale but the MC was so annoying and the game was so insistent on showing you boring cutscene after cutscene that I stopped about 5 hours in.

[–] Sebastrion@lemmy.fmhy.net 1 points 1 year ago

City Game Studio, a game like Game Dev Tycoon but more complex, you can have multiple Studios etc. and there are some great mods. And i played Tears of Kingdom... Like last month and probably the next month.

[–] public_static_int@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

I’ve finally gotten around to finishing Ratchet & Clank: Going Commando and now started Up Your Arsenal. Eventually I’ll get through the original trilogy and onto the Future series.

[–] Quatity_Control@lemm.ee 1 points 1 year ago

Remnant 2 has been taking up my time. Filling in the gap before armored core VI is released.

[–] ngcbassman@sh.itjust.works 1 points 1 year ago

Diablo IV, not the Season just still playing the campaign waiting for Baldur's Gate 3. In Diablo I'm level 53 at the moment, so I've finished the story, now I'm playing the side quests to level up, but it feels a bit of a chore.

[–] dbilitated@aussie.zone 1 points 1 year ago

just finishing totk and downloaded Baldur's gate 3. I've run out of missions on totk but I'm waiting for my gf to catch up before proper finishing it so I thought I'd give Baldur's gate a go
