Been an interesting week.
Deleted Cod Cold War - I was addicted and it stopped me playing other stuff.
Wanted to get started on Ghost of Tsushima- but I just can’t get into it
Went back the AC odyssey and grabbed DLC.
Also snagged and got burned by Endless Dungeon, which is bug ridden and incomplete.
I’m trying to play Cataclysm: Dark Days Ahead again and I’ve been eyeing the Quake remasters. My SO is playing Death Stranding from the start again because their Epic cloud savegame didn’t take before formatting. Also, we are addicted to Boomerang Fu.
Replaying AC Odyssey as Alexios. It’s weird to see angry Kassandra.
So far I’ve been disappointed in dialogue and interactions with NPCs, even in the main story, where I expected things to change between the two characters, but the dialogue has been mostly all the same.
But hey, I get really fun, ancient Greece ship combat. 10/10 recommend the game just for that.
Edit: Also playing through Hades for the first time since purchasing it. I love how Supergiant put their own spin on all the Gods and Demi-Gods while keeping them mostly true to their depictions in Greek myth.
Just started playing cities: skylines 2 (with gamepass, I didn’t preorder) and I think it’s good. The performance, while bad, isn’t as bad as people are saying. I’m on low settings + 1080p with a gtx 1650 super, and a ryzen 7 5700x and I get around 20-30 frames, which is bad but not unplayable and there will be mods that improve this.
Return to Moria. It’s a lot of fun, adventuring through a Dwarven mine with a few friends. It was hard to put down, but I suppose we need to eat and sleep at some point.
How are you getting on? I’m really considering getting this - I get paid today and have a week next week without the family… Been playing and enjoying Planet Crafters and Forever Skies, and I’m in the survival-building-exploring mood at the moment.
I dunno how fun it would be alone, because dwarves are a race that are all about being together and some of the features lean into that, but we’re having a lot of fun with it. It’s challenging, but not to the point where we feel overwhelmed or lost. And the atmosphere it has is just right, they did a great job taking what we know from the books and the style we got from the movies, and turning that into a video game.
I have been trying to beat a 2nd run in Slay the Spire. I also have been failing to get past round 15 in that endless mode in Shotgun King: The Final Checkmate.
Starfield, The Crew Motorfest, and Empyrion.
I finally started advancing on the main story in starfield and the faction quests and the game really picked up, got hooked for sure. I think it passed fallout 4 on my list
Back to playing the Sims 4, and watching Detroit: Become Human playthrough online. I want to play it but not sure about what platform
Spiderman 2, and it’s amazing.
I finally started up Persona 5.
No, not Royal. Vanilla P5.
I’ll probably get to Royal three years after Persona 6 has been released.
I’m playing Slay the Princess! It’s sort of like a puzzle/visual novel hybrid, where you’re trying to explore all the routes to find all the mini ‘endings’. It’s been really fun to try and work my way through each scenario, unlocking new paths to see new possibilities. The art style is this hand drawn looking sketchbook style that is super cool to watch animate, as well.
Been playing Mario wonder and destiny although I need to start up starfield again soon.
@quinten I just started the last of us on PC. Graphics are stunning and the game is captivating. I love it. I have a big rig and the game is totally smooth !
Snowrunner
Uncharted on PS4. Fancied an action game that was tight and linear. I find too open world doesn’t respect my time and I don’t like grindy. I’m finally comfortable to play a game on easy and whizz though rather than challenge myself more and spend ages on it or never finish it. It’s still fun and even on easy, some of the gameplay is repetitive.
Also, always playing street fighter. Used to be V, now VI. Finisnf it is great and fun but it’s not as much fun creating combos as V, but the new mechanics are good so overall it’s better.
