it's very much borrowed from one of the reddit subs i frequent(ed) often, but the idea is to share what we're playing weekly and hopefully create discussions around those games (or simply have a sort of "check-in").

Finally playing Jedi Fallen Order so I can get around to Jedi Survivor, gives time for the latter to get its shit together as well.

Firing up No Man's Sky for the first time on my M1 Mac. Looks nice. I really enjoyed Subnautica, so this promises to be good.

Played Warhammer 3 with a friend last weekend. We did Chaos factions (I was chaos dwarves and he was one of the Daemons of Chaos). It was a pretty good time. Also do a little world of warships legends with some friends on Xbox. The last game I beat was the Metroid Prime remaster.

My hope is whenever I find the time I want to play:

Jedi Survivor

Tears of the Kingdom

System Shock

Diablo 4

Hogwarts Legacy

But I just am so busy with house hunting, work, and some personal stuff it's hard to find time to play lately.

I wish I had more time to play Warhammer 3 it's a ton of fun. I had a nice Cathay campaign going a while back that I was never able to finish. I'd probably start a new one at this point since it's been so long

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 years ago

Hey I play Warhammer 3 too! High Elves my bae.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 years ago

Just finished up Wall World. Looking for my next hook. Probably gonna play more Rogue Legacy 2 as it's absolutely beautiful and fantastic!

Star Rail is my togo game right now !

I was not a fan of turn based jrpgs before but this game is winning me over with great writing, actually fun gameplay and suprisingly alright gacha implementation (got my team up with 20$ which is a fair deal!)

I'm on world 2 in the story and there's just so much to do in this game I only wish it supported a controller on Android/iOS.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Also been enjoying Star Rail! I find the mechanics more my liking compared to Genshin. Are you looking forward to any of the upcoming characters? I'm saving up for Silver Wolf right now myself. I just like her look.

Another replay of Shadow of the Colossus and also started Zelda 2 on NES. SOTC is always a favorite. Zelda 2 I'm a bit iffy on after really enjoying the original, but I'm still early. The stark change in style and gameplay direction threw me off in the beginning but I'm hoping to adjust.

Although, this week it's been hard for me to find time to play anything.

AC Valhalla. Got it on PS4 during the last sale and it's honestly one of the best ACs in recent years. I liked Origins but never got on with Odyssey.

This may not be the best place to post this, but for lack of a designated community I think this is appropriate :)

I've gotten way into Pathfinder 2e recently, been mucking about with the rulebooks and building a homebrew setting. It's been a lot of fun thus far, the system is crunchy but sensible.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 years ago

I absolutely love 2e. It's an incredible system! I'm GMing tomorrow night, and had a nice game last night. It's great stuff. I've been reading through a starfinder AP for a game I suspect I'll start in a year or so. That system isn't anywhere as well refined, but it's still fun in it's own right.

Bouncing between a few games right now. Playing a couple of gacha games on my phone, Apex and Mortal Kombat 11 on Xbox, and getting into Age of Wonders 4 on the steam deck.

As I'm getting older, I'm finding it harder and harder to keep up with my gaming habits. Too many games and not enough time nowadays...

I absolutely feel this. I don't have nearly as much time as I used to to actually sit down at my PC and sink hours into something. Unfortunately I don't enjoy many mobile games though, except maybe for OldSchool Runescape.

At least we still have fond memories!

one thing i definitely hope for is a space to develop for shorter but more hand-crafted AAA releases again. it kinda sucks that experiences of that kind have been almost entirely relegated to the indie scene for the past few years due to how resource intensive AAA development is now, lol

Tears of the Kingdom has also sucked me in. It's not quite a 10/10 for me, and in some ways I think looking back I slightly prefer the more austere and "pure" BotW, but the new temples, abilities and shrines are really fun. Great game.

I bought Gris after the Neva reveal trailer. It's truly one of the most beautiful games I've ever played, and the score is just as noteworthy.

I’m working through a backlog of playstation games, so currently working on the platinum trophy for Persona 4 Golden. I did p3p when both were released and played the first three games in the dark pictures anthology in between since they were on sale and I wanted to play something that would require fewer hours to complete.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 years ago

Just finished Chained Echoes so I'm a bit free from active games. Might pick back up Disgea 6, and I thought loop hero looked interesting

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 years ago

I just started Death Stranding on my Steam Deck.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I recently found a good Wine wrapper for SWAT4 so I'm gonna be reliving my childhood a bit. Might jump back into Lost Judgment and try to finally beat it before I get sucked into another RGG game.

Modded Minecraft. Volcano block is a great modpack.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 years ago

Got back into Celeste recently, managed to beat the final level and am now working my way through the Strawberry Jam mod.

Such a good game and mod!

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 years ago

Civ 5...I have a habit of not actually finishing a game, so I'm trying to push myself through a complete game.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 years ago

Grinding at the new Savage raids in Final Fantasy XIV until my fingers bleed. I want to see if I can get three clears week one this time!

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

Speedrunning Tears of the Kingdom. The community for that is a bit over-focused on any% in my opinion, but exploring master sword rta route options has been really fun. MSRTA starts at new game, ends at getting the master sword. First known run of the category was 2:10:36 which means sub-2 should come fairly easily. For comparison, 2:30 was a goal time for master sword rta in Breath of the Wild for quite a while.

Also sometimes working on my casual file for it, I haven't quite finished all the quests yet.

I’ve been making my way through the STEINS;GATE 0 visual novel, and I’ve been having a great time. It’s effectively replaced watching TV/anime for me; I turn on my nvidia shield, stream the game, and off I go.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 years ago

I've been hopping between a few:

Been playing sims 4 multiplayer mod with my wife.

Booting up StarCraft 2 again with some work buddies.

In my solo time, I just beat what content there is in slime rancher 2, am just deciding what's next on the docket, though I've been itching to play Terraria calamity mod again

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 years ago

I just tried the demo for Tiny Thor - it's a retro platformer and it was gooood. The gameplay is fun and the enemies are unique.

It's releasing soon and I'm looking forward to playing the full version

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 years ago

I should wrap up Pokemon Violet... pretty close to the end of the main story. I'll probably get that knocked out over the weekend. Funnily enough, Nintendo actually sent me an email encouraging me to complete the game which actually asked me if was stuck. Ugh. I've played these games since the very beginning. I know what I'm doing. I'm taking my time because I'm a busy working adult.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 years ago

Tears of the Kingdom on my steam deck :) That and Warhammer III. Want Diablo IV but kind of broke at the moment

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 years ago

Got burned out from the Lost Ark grind. Played a bit of GW2, but SWTOR is currently hitting all the right notes for me.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 years ago

Darktide. New map drops today. Gotta smash 'em heretics.
