Battlebit: Remastered.
Even when the game is occasionally “Spawn, Die, Revive, Die” it is surprisingly fun.
And the thing is, everyone playing it is surprised on how fun it is. The voice-chat often is full of “how is this game this fun!?!”
Large to small maps, varieties of weapons and gadgets, vehicles and destructible buildings.
I’ve been having a ton of fun playing it.
The game has so much going for it, like the building mechanic that seems very barebones compared to something like Ace of Spades is actually pretty well realised. Been using it to make stairs, stop/funnel enemy vehicles, build sniper spots etc.
Disco Elysium. this game has consumed my life
I’m also playing Disco Elysium! It’s fun but so far has yet to completely grab me as it seems to have done for you.
Me too! First time playing it after hearing a lot of good things. The story and gameplay are interesting but what really hooked me is how the game can surprise me with wild and unexpected dialog choices. I love going for whatever feels like the goofiest possible decision just to see what happens next.
GBA Advance Wars… I missed it first time round, so I’m playing it through on my Miyoo Mini Plus. Absolutely perfect handheld game, ideal to grab for a quick half hour mission.
Sniper Elite 5. That series is like my sneaky sniper comfort food. I also just got a sonos arc soundbar and subwoofer and tried it out for the first time with the game. In the sonos app, they are now under the media group named, “Boom!Headshot”. lol
Finished bioshock 2 days ago after having it on my backlog for years and years. Was really fun, some aspects do show their age, like the “horror” sequences, which are more funny than scary nowadays, but in general it holds up pretty well imo. It’s really interesting to see how a libertarian dystopia and ayn rand on crack could look like.
Playing bioshock 2 now, while it’s of course still fun, I’m a bit underwhelmed because it’s literally the same game but they made Adam more annoying to get by having to fight off waves of splicers. Looking forward to bioshock infinite.
Infinite is special, that game consumed my life until I finished it. I always loved bioshock, but infinite really upped the ante.
I am the same situation as you but still playing through Bioshock1. I remembered hating it when I first played but after turning the difficulty down a notch I have been enjoying the story. The 3 games have been sitting in my epic game store since they gave them away a couple of years ago.
You might get mixed feelings from 3. Some people loved it, others hated it. Some also thought part 2 was underrated. So there’s that too lol
i’ve only played 3 but had to turn the difficulty down towards the end because of waves of enemies
I’ve been going through a nasty divorce, so my tastes have gotten weird with my emotions. And I’ve been using my laptop hooked to my new 4K tv as a console, and it’s been great for a 2019 thinkpad x1 carbon.
I started replaying Life is Strange because I craved some emotion. It’s one of my favorite games and I haven’t played it since 2017, so it feels fresh.
And then I picked up the two Lego Harry Potter games on steam because I craved something innocent and fun. It’s actually a lot better than I expected.
And I’ve been playing left for dead, the original. There is a surprising amount of people playing this, and I had no problems finding people to play with. But they probably think I’m an idiot because I’m always too stoned to be playing lol.
Hope you find some catharsis in LIS, some comfort in Lego and some camaraderie in L4D.
Thank you friend.
Horizon zero dawn. Really early in the game but I like the mechanics, gameplay, and atmosphere so far.
Oh man, you’re in for a treat. The opening is by far the weakest part of the game so if you’re already enjoying it you’re going to love it when it opens up. Scan everything you can and soak up bits of story as they are given to you. It’s a very slow burn that delivers expert pacing in revealing itself to the player.
I found myself happily mopping up all the sidequests after completion, just because the scenery was so gorgeous. Have you checked out the DLC for Forbidden West yet? Thinking of getting it before I sell the PS5
Stardew Valley Expanded. A simple life with a bit of magic.
I’d like a simple life with easy questions and obvious answers.
I’d also like socializing to be that easy.
Ghost of Tsushima on PS5, loving it.
It is very prone to burnout though. Probably go through the story sidequests only up until the third act.
Yakuza 0 and the camera sucks.
Stick with it, the Yakuza games are all a little bit jank in their execution but the story and characters make up for it.
deleted by creator
Yeah I’m still playing despite not evens facing my opponent in a fight half the time lol. the story is pretty good. I enjoy the goofyness of it all.
Agreed, they’re some of my favorite games!
Hardcore mode subnatica, and I absolutely love it.
Don’t normally enjoy survival games, but am a big fan of permadeath games.
The environment, the crafting system, the edge of your seat tension knowing one small mistake is going to kill you, makes it a very engaging game.
Tried the second one and really didn’t enjoy it, but the original is a masterpiece.
I recently got Techtonica, or if you prefer “Underground Satisfactory”. One interesting difference is your research for new technologies creates a bulky waste product that you have to find room for…
Hunt Showdown. The audio cues, gunplay, and strategies you can come up with are second to none. I get destroyed 80% of the time, but that 20% keeps me coming back.
I get you, I still return to it when I have the time.
There’s nothing that quite compares to stalking an enemy group through the bushes for ten minutes trying to avoid getting noticed, while preparing to ambush.
God of War 2 (PS2) and Lemmings (SNES). Lemmings is as great as ever, God of War is also great.
I was addicted to lemmings as a kid! I recently just saw a video for a new game called “Humanity” which looks like a modernized play on the same idea, with crowds of people instead of lemmings.
Nice, I’ll look it up! Also, come join [email protected]
Humanity is great! And very similar idea to lemmings. The puzzles are decently challenging, and some give you that great sense of accomplishment when you have that “ah ha!” moment and figure out the trick.
Strangely similar body counts by end of such wildly different games.
Heh, never occurred to me.
I played Plateup. I finally got my restaurant to day 15 and I’m starting to like this game more and more.
Haven’t played this game in about 6 months. I hope they made it easier to automate the cooking.
I don’t know - I haven’t gotten to automation yet. I’m currently in the “I’m new to this and everything is exciting” phase. I saw conveyors, but I have no idea how to effectively utilize them.
