No mans sky. Had it for a while, time to explore planets.
I finally got around to playing it a couple months ago and enjoyed it overall. I love the ship designs and spent so much time just watching ships come and go at spaceports. At the same time it was frustrating because it is really hard to find that perfect ship. In ant case though, it was really cool learning all the ship naming conventions and components. I also loved how so many of the ship styles are diversr and each cool in their own right. Some enjoy a viper with starscream boosters and a box thrusters and others may prefer a heavy jet with vector wings and a triple thrusters. Ahh, such cool combinations! In anycase, there are many different ways to enjoy the gsme so have a good run!
Backlog… so Far Cry 4
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."
Playing Forza Horizon 4 and Super Mario Odyssey right now. Games I have had on my backlog for too long.
I’ve been bouncing between final fantasy XVI and Jedi survivor. Slowly making my way through the games and enjoying both.
Bloodeborne and TOTK
Amazing combination.
I have to start another play through of Bloodborne.
Apex Legends: Been playing since Season 0 with my SO and brother and I think it's honestly the longest I've ever played a single game. The gunplay just feels so good.
Tears of the Kingdom: Still working my way through it, taking my time exploring. Honestly it's such a great game, but I have to say the resource gathering is getting a little tedious. I like the weapon durability mechanic from the angle of being forced to switch up your fighting style, but I wish there was a way to repair weapons between fights.
Halls of Torment. $5 game on steam that is like a Vampire Survivors clone, but with more rpg elements to it.
Master Detective Archives: Rain Code
The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom
Bio Prototype
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…
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.
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.
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.
Eternal Return just launched out of beta so I'm going to be grinding that for the foreseeable future.
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.
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
Nothing at the moment because I bought a new GPU and power supply, and somehow borked my whole computer just installing than.
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.
Been playing a couple different things, when I have time and energy after work. Occasional heist in Payday 2 to get back into it before 3 comes out. Finally got a switch, so starting to check out breath of the wild and super mario oddessy as well.
Supersymmetry minecraft modpack, it's an alpha gregtech Minecraft modpack, pretty cool (a youtuber is doing a supersymmetry smp tomorrow, and I'm gonna be in)
Actually finished both my current games and a freebie.
Luigi's Mansion 3 started great but its pacing feels bizarre by the end. The floors started feeling pretty long and then you have two boss only flaws in a row, then a good floor followed by two more boss floors. Maybe busting out so many variations hurt it be size the ordinary floors always felt the most enjoyable.
Tunic started off enjoyable but the gameplay never hit and the last secret I did made me angry with how it was presented.
I was playing Arkham Asylum since it was the only Arkham game I didn't finish as yet
I’m all into TOEM at the moment. Cute little game!
Nox Archaist - Wasn't expecting much, was blown away. Definetily not for everyone, but personally I think it's the most engaging game I've played this year. Surpasses even Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom.
And just to make it clear: this is not a shit post. I really enjoy Nox Archaist so much.
