I picked up "Mafia: Definitive Edition" cheap the other day (I've linked it on Steam as it's still on sale for the next few days).

I was a fan of Mafia (the original from 2002) and felt it was cheap enough to give it a shot and I'm glad I did: besides the infamous/arduous racing level I found it to be very enjoyable overall.

I was sad to see that there wasn't any "Freeride Extreme" in the latest version (this was bonus, fun, ludicrous content, available after completing the game) as it would have been a nice addition, the "Freeride" mode is likewise a little lackluster but the actual campaign is great.

What was the last game you finished? Was it any good?

I'm currently playing COD Black ops 2 for the first time and it's pretty good (campaign)

[–] Onaltau@lemm.ee 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Hell yeah! Have you played World at War or Black Ops 1? (They were my favourite, but 2 was very enjoyable - especially zombies). Good luck out there!

I recently played through the Minecraft modpack FTB's Sky Factory 3 with three of my friends. Technically you don't really finish it per se, but we got to a point where we couldn't do much else without excessive levels of grinding and collectively decided we were happy to call it quits.

It was a lot of fun. I've never been a fan of playing other modpacks because they often focus on Minecraft's weakest points (combat is a big one). SF3 on the other hand focuses on what are, IMO, two of Minecraft's biggest strengths, creativity and the grind. Saying we were somewhat addicted would be an understatement, as I alone managed to put 144 hours (6 days!) in the game in around 2 weeks. And that was just me, my poor computer got left on almost every other night so friends could play on the server while I slept.

It was quite different from vanilla Minecraft which helped everyone avoid the burnout that vanilla+ packs usually cause for us. 8/10, probably wouldn't play it again, but the whole group had a solid two weeks of a fun new experience at the nice price of $0.

If you like the automation in that pack and want a game similar you should try factorio. A more friendly introduction to the genre would be shapez.io.

[–] Nelots@lemm.ee 1 points 2 years ago

I bought Factorio like 2 years ago and just never played it. I've seen the memes, I don't know if I have the will to start lol.

If you like co-op survival style games it's pretty good. Not yet complete though which was a shame when we got to the end of the content.

[–] i_am_not_a_robot@feddit.uk 2 points 2 years ago

I think the last one I actually completed was Return to Monkey Island. It was good fun!

[–] davemeech@lemmy.ca 2 points 2 years ago

Super Mario Wonder. I got it at release as I came down with Covid and beat it 100% that weekend. Excellent experience, I just wish it was longer.

Stray. It's an awesome game to play casually, lots of fun pluzzes.

[–] PrunesMakeYouPoop@kbin.social 2 points 2 years ago

Power Wash Simulator haha. Twas a silly game.

[–] Crystal_Shards64@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

I just finished demon souls and I thought it was pretty good overall. I felt like the difficulty was interesting. I hit an initial wall until I realized I had to jump from area to area. At that point I steamrolled the rest of the game in two days.

Not my favorite of the souls series, but it was interesting. I could see how they used demon souls as a way to test the waters with various ideas.

I still think my favorites are dark souls 3 and sekiro.

Currently playing bloodborne now. I like where it's going, but I'm still only on the third(?) boss so I'll have to wait and see. It's the last of the series that I need to play.

It's hard for me to finish a game. Couple of reasons there. Rather determined though with Gotham Knights right now.

Thinking back to what he last one was... I believe it was Hypnospace Outlaw. That game was a straight trip. Problem solving got a bit much near the end, but my son and I got through it. Really looking forward to the sequel.

Edit: Haha! It wasn't Hypnospace. That was the 2nd to last game to beat. It was Cocoon. Lovely little game with just the right difficulty in problem solving.

I've finished Ori and the Blind Forest at least 3 times recently. I had my first playthrough (100%), then I went back for the 3 hour speedrun (took a couple attempts to figure out my routing) and got a 2.5 hour run. Then I did a hard mode run with no upgrades. I've yet to do any tries for the no death run because that's probably going to be hell.

As you might have guessed, I think it's a fantastic game. I'm very much looking forward to playing the sequel. I'm going to try a couple no death runs before I move on though.

It was not Starfield

[–] JoeKrogan@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

Sleeping dogs for the second time. Wasn't bothered to collect all of the stuff after doing the story as I've other things to play.

It was good fun for the few days while I played it

[–] Schal330@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

Endless Dungeon with a friend. It was entertaining but we finished a full run after not too much time and we're both pretty disappointed. The base gameplay was good, but it really felt like a demo, no real drive to play it again

[–] mintiefresh@lemmy.ca 2 points 2 years ago

Persona 5 Royal.

It was a masterpiece.
