I just platinumed Jedi Survivor (which was awesome, you should play it) and I’m looking for my next new awesomeness to play.
Right now, Battlebit Remastered (which I just bought). Despite being not that good at the gunplay yet, I’m doing well and having fun just playing a medic and dragging people out of the line of fire for revives and heals. Highlight of today was frantically healing everyone in a full chopper while we dueled an enemy chopper over a capture point, with the pilot micspamming Pirates of the Caribbean music the whole time. Really brings me back to the good ol days of multiplayer lobbies (without a lot of the casual bigotry - game seems pretty good at actually banning it so far).
Man I really want to try this now. Sounds awesome.
I have been finishing up Tunic. The game is fantastic and I love seeing all of the small little things that have been accessible the whole time that I have since gained the knowledge to interact with.
Almost done with Control right now. It’s a really good game. A little too creepy though!
Control is one of my favorite games. Everything about it was excellent. I’m so glad they’re making a sequel.
Control is one of my all time favs, only one of three games I’ve ever 100%'d on steam.
Most of my time plalying control went to reading the lore. Well looking forward to a new Alan wake
I think control is the only game where I went out of my way to read each and every little note and message and all that crap. Whoever worked on that stuff did an amazing job. I had so much fun reading and listening to all that stuff and learning about the world
Battlebit
Replaying Control, I can play this one repeatedly.
DayZ and Dwarf Fortress. The DF official soundtrack is so ooooo good
Completely burned out, but I occasionally play Death Stranding, because that bad boy knows how to keep everything tight. I’m thinking about delving into the world of emulation, maybe some TRPGs - will see.
I’ve been playing Battlebit Remastered on Steam and holy shit while it looks awful it’s one of the funnest FPS I have played in a while. Super fun, super smooth, and scratches the COD itch from when I was a kid. I HIGHLY reccomend it!
Also Tears of the Kingdom.
That’s the low poly shooter right? That actually looks pretty fun. I’ll have to try it.
Yeah I was hesitant at first because of the low poly but the gameplay is top tier.
+1 on Battlebit. Battlefield 1942, and similarly Vietnam, were my favorite. I always felt like Dice/EA just kept gradually turning everything up to 11 after that. Battlebit feels like a well balanced, intentional concept, that balances speed, strategy, and the opportunities for ridiculous moments just right!
Grounded and Cities Skylines
Currently playing Death Stranding and feeling fit from the amount of virtual walking and carrying I’ve done. Next in queue is Everspace 2.
Keep on keeping on! 👍
Signalis - grabbed it on sale and playing through on steam deck.
Stellaris - I’ve spent too much time building empires only to lose interest in mid/late game.
Re: Stellaris - me too, and I bet a lot of other people as well. It has what my friend group calls “the Civilization problem”; the initial setup and expansion is by far more interesting than the late game when things are more static. Stellaris does it better than the Civ games, in my opinion (mid and late game crises and events help), but still falls into the same trap. I’m not really sure how this could be solved, but maybe something like late-game expansion opportunities (like the L cluster, but more) and more robust internal politics and espionage could help.
Glad to know it’s not just me. Civ and Stellaris both, game progression for me goes like: fun, fun, fun, yeah screw that guy!, fun … getting less fun, definitely not as fun anymore, meh.
I just picked up Cult of the Lamb which is at least silly fun. Bonus points for blasphemy!
Agreed. I’ve seen there is a mod to add more mid/late game encounters or content, but I haven’t tried it yet. I think more developed diplomatic events would make mid/late game more interesting. Most of my playthroughs end up being an arms race towards the end, which sure that can be a fun aspect of the game, but not super interesting. Very much like civ, and I think you’re correct they both suffer from the late game “domination” aspect.
My idea of a successful Stellaris game it not coming in first, but making it to the end with a functional empire.
I’m also probably a noob when it comes to Stellaris, but I still enjoy it.
Lemmy. It’s a pretty nice minigame whilst between breaks.
…
what?
Nah this is a legit answer.
The internet version of buying that 4090 to play Minecraft
Steam Deck:
- This means warp (co-op rogue-like that’s pretty fun)
- Dicey Dungeons
PC:
- Tiny Tina’s Wonderlands
- Guild Wars 2
I’m deep into the second act of Ghost of Tsushima and I’m completely baffled how I missed this game when it came out. It’s absolutely beautiful in every way possible
Ghost of Tsushima is one of my favorite games ever. I envy you playing it for the first time.
It’s so good. I like the cut of your jib, so I might give Jedi Survivor a closer look.
You should try the Yakuza games. I’m currently on Yakuza 0 with 150 hours in it. I’m gonna have to play through again to get all the achievements, but it has been one of most fun games I’ve ever played.
