Whatcha all playing?

I've got a few on my list this week.

Ufo 50 continues to be one of my favorite purchases in a long time. It's the best collection of games since the orange box imo.

The new Zelda has also been stellar. The frame rate issues are certainly unfortunate, and it may be worth it for some to wait on a more powerful switch 2 to play this title, but I highly recommend checking it out at some point. The game is really creative and the Hyrule you get to explore is super fun imo.

I want to get back to the plucky squire, but these games have kept me busy unfortunately

The new Kex port is great for it's accessibility for new players not used to the Doom sourceports scene, but I guess there's still a few kinks to solve. I still end up preferring to play on my other sourceports (Woof! Is my favorite) but I gotta get back to it to actually finish Legacy of Rust later. At least this new port is MUCH better on the console versions now, if only the Switch version had proper access to the player uploaded addons...

In the meantime Ive been going through Freedoom 2, and I hear people are adapting the assets of the new mapping format into an open sourced version. Looking forward to that.

True, how easy it is to get into the games with this port, along with the mod browser, definitely outweighs the few minor issues.

I've actually downloaded Woof myself for my Final Doom playthrough. It takes a few minutes to read up on how to create a batch file to make launching the game more user friendly, but once you're in, it's has everything you'd want.

There's even launchers that do the work of the batch files for you! I like using Doom Explorer or Doom Runner for that. You set it up with your ports, point it at your wads folder and then you can save preset combinations of mods, it's so practical.

Good to know. If I get more into Doom an non-official stuff, I might look at those, but for now the batch file will do.
