Diablo 4 and Hi-Fi Rush
Hi-Fi Rush is amazing. Such a fun title, great story, great concept, great art style, great music.
Diablo 4βs new expansion is fun, Iβm really enjoying the extremely broken, unbalanced new class. The game is a great companion to audiobooks or podcasts.
Since it came out in the last week of August, I don't think I've touched any game other than Age of Mythology. It's just that perfect balance of being an excellent game in its own right and also absolutely nailing the nostalgia for me.
RimWorld and modded Pokemon Scarlett.
On one hand i am adoring Scarlett more than i expected... On the other, what I enjoy is almost exclusively from the mod, so I don't know where to even talk about the fun i am having understanding I probably still wouldn't want to purchase the full game, even with all the fun I am having, because the jank is only tolerable for me on an emulator with mods.
RimWorld im really into a insectoids 2 mod run. About to try my hand at vanilla expanded genetics with Alpha Animals and Rimbees.
Im vibrating for stardew valley mobile update. It's been my favorite way to play and I wanna mod that, too. π©
Dead Space and Silent Hill 2 (once I get paid π), and replaying Ghost of Tsushima.
--Halls of Torment --Metaphor Refantazio --UFO 50
I'm currently playing Halls of Torment. I've tried a few times before but it has finally clicked. I'm liking it a lot. It is more Diablo than people had led me to believe. I love how different all the character are, and all the achievements that unlock things. I feel I could be playing it for quite a while
On a slightly related note, I just saw Vampire Survivors is getting a Castlevania DLC on the 31st and I'm so excited. I've been hoping for this for so long. 20 new characters, 40 weapons, and their biggest map yet. Sounds like it will have the most content out of any of their other DLCs
Replaying Final Fantasy IX. I'm trying if I can make it through the Excalibur II perfect game guide by Atomos199 with the help of the built-in cheats in the Steam version of the game.
Warhammer 40K
Itβs really deep, the community is pretty cool, we all 3d print and despise the company that makes the game. Sounds wonderful to me.
Guild Wars 2 not really replaying it, just still play it. Came out 12 years ago. Got it when it came out,played for two years. Stopped for about 8 years then went back
Best mmo on the market imo
I'm pretty much always coming back to Rocket League with a couple of friends. We're probably gonna get Space Marine 2 soon to play together too.
Paper Mario Thousand Year Door remake with my wife because she's never seen it. We also started Dead Space. Right now our main obsession is passing the controller back and forth to play Dredge.
I also have a create a pro career I will play off and on in FC 24 and NHL 24 (both were included with PS+, don't @ me lol).
Because of PS+, I'll try a new game every few weeks. Some really keep my attention like Tunic and The Forgotten City did, and some get deleted almost immediately like Car Mechanic Simulator and Ride 5. I'm always trying something new.
Vampire Survivor with my partner
I love Vampire Survivor so much. I can't wait for the Castlevania DLC at the end of the month
Satisfactory currently has me. I'm just now starting into Tier 9 proper.
The Brotato DLC is great. I'm still working on going through and beating the Abyss with all my tates.
Just started playing Rainworld, good lord is it amazing
Just went back and played the Witcher 3 Blood & Wine expansion. The main questline was really awesome! Many of the side quests feel like busy work, but some are good.
Tis the Halloween season, so I'm now playing Amnesia: The Bunker. It offers a new gameplay flow from their past, more linear games. Past games are more: here's an area with its own monster and a puzzle, solve the puzzle to get through this area. The Bunker (so far) is more: there are several areas with puzzles, but the whole time there is a monster living in the walls that you have to be careful not to alert. Makes it feel more sandboxy and freeform, I'm digging it.
Morrowind. But i beat it w the dlcs few days ago so might replay oblivion before replaying morrowind with mods. I got tamriel rebuilt tho to see a glimpse of what theyve built and the sheer size of the map is jawdropping.
Stardew Valley and Brotato(New DLC). Will try Factorio Space Age DLC later.
pokemon emerald rogue, scream fortress, skyrim with bunch of mods thanks to wabbajack.
Castlevania: Aria of Sorrow, practicing the any% route so I can play it onstream soon.
That's when I'm not distracted with !Balatro@lemm.ee on my phone.
Drova: Forsaken Kin, very fun 2D RPG in the Gothic mold...i.e., you start off weak and will get your ass kicked by rats and wasps, getting your first set of real armor takes hours and feels like a major power-up, multiple factions you can join that are deeper than "good guy vs bad guy." Small development team (I think it's just 6 German dudes) but they're actively engaged and quick with patches.
Inscription Persona 3 reload Fragpunk beta test
Age of Empires IV
Silent Hill 2 Remake. Itβs been absolutely amazing so far. Bloober team knocked this one out of the park, and Iβm really looking forward to Cronos: The New Dawn.
FFXIV
Deadlock
Signalis
Selaco
Zenless Zone Zero
Satisfactory
Got Yellow Taxi Goes Vroom last night and absolutely had a blast. It's like a collect-a-thon style game where you play as a living taxi who has to collect green gears to stop Alien Mosk and his oil.
I also got around to an updated version of Shotgun King: The Final Checkmate. It's chess, but you are a single chess king piece with a shotgun vs various other pieces on the other side who normally can only move normally. Beat the enemy king and get a card to buff you, and your opponents. Simple gameplay.
TF2 Never gets boring. I've been doing the same thing in TF2 for over 1500 hours
Dark Souls: Remastered
Currently in NG+ and recording all the bosses for YouTube. This game even offers native ultrawide support! My final rating will probably be 4/5, many boss fights are just too easy, even on NG+ (except DLC).
Rivals of Aether 2, they did a week long open beta a little over a week ago, and they release fully today. Finally happy to play a damn good mechanically involved platform fighter far away from the legal clutches of Nintendo. Other than that ive been dipping my toes into Throne and Liberty.
Sudoku all the time. Itβs the perfect tool for waiting 7 minutes. I bought the app βEnjoy Sudokuβ many years ago and it is my most played game ever.
Amber Isle!
Cute dinosaur shopkeeper sim with decorating & friendship mechanics.
AC Valhalla. I've recently finished odyssey and I wanted to play another "turn off the brain checklist open world game"
It's very rough around the edges (bugs, clipping, clunky movement) and it got me frustrated time and time again, but the thing I'm disliking the most are the frequent and mandatory raids. If I wanted a full fledged action game I'd be playing wukong or some shit.
Enabling insta-kill assassination from the accessibility options is what's been saving the game for me.
I'm also considering about lowering the difficulty. The second hardest one is making the enemies unreasonably tanky, which does not bode well with the shittiest healing system I have ever seen in a videogame.
Don't Starve Together!
