Tell us what game you are currently, or recently played, greater than 6+ months old.
If the game happens to be on sale, a link would be a plus.
I’ll be finishing up Shin Megami Tensei V this week. This is my first “smt” title, persona 5 was my introduction to this franchise and slowly working my way through.
I love the gameplay, managing teams and this is also the first game I’ve played where you’re really supposed to use the items liberally, the items to recreate spells is actually going to vary based on your stats instead of a fixed amount, so they are always helpful even late game.
The maps. The maps are a headache. It took me many days to find the entrance to an important location. It is frustrating but maybe it’s not my strong suit. I love playing it though, the fights don’t get boring and mobs can still be challenging if you aren’t paying attention.
Next I am going to finally play portal 1 and 2 because it is on sale for $7 on switch!!! I don’t have a PC and have been wanting to play for years!!!
And I somehow avoided all spoilers besides the meme. PORTAL BUNDLE ON SWITCH
I’ve just finished Inscryption and it was one of the best gaming experiences i’ve ever had. On the surface it seems like a simple card game but it’s so much more than that! This game is so wild and creative it’s insane. Strongly recommend you play it, don’t look anything up about it.
I bought it along with some other Daniel Mullins games for about 5 bucks total on sale. I almost feel bad cause it’s certainly worth more than that, lol.
I’ve been replaying Subnautica. It feels like a completely different game the second time around, but still fun. Plus they’ve got it running much better now than it was on launch.
Yakuza 0. Sorry, emotional and compelling main story, you’re gonna have to wait. I need to make Majima’s hostess club the top in Sotenbori.
It’s not actually a game, but I spent the weekend migrating a bunch of my Minecraft servers to Docker from standalone boxes. Went surprisingly well.
Now I just need to switch from Infrared to BungeeCord+Geyser.
Just finished Doom 2016 the other day. What an absolute fucking blast. I have not had that much pure stupid unadulterated fun in a video game in a long time. If Doom Eternal didn’t exist, I would not hesitate to replay Doom 2016 on a harder difficulty just to keep jamming to the soundtrack if nothing else. RIP & TEAR
I’m on vacation and my shitty Chromebook made me rediscover how atmospheric Diablo 1 was. I’m using DevilutionX source port, pretty good IMO.
I remember playing Diablo back in the 90s at my friends PC. I chose warrior as I always do in RPGs. The game was fun, atmospheric as f*ck, but then I hit those lava maze levels with shooters everywhere. It was terrible, because rhey kept shooting and running with no chance to get to them and kill 'em. So I ditched the game for good. I’ll always remember it as the most atmospheric and dark game of that era and still have great memories of it.
Monster Hunter Rise. I’ve been a big MH fan since Tri and have hundreds of hours in each one since then, but for whatever reason, when Rise was announced and came out I just wasn’t really excited for them. Partner and I picked it up over winter sale for an all time low thinking, ah at least we won’t be too disappointed at this price. Got just as sucked in as previous MHs and am approaching 100 hours right now, lol.
I’ve been playing Minecraft for the first time.
Yup.
Idk why I hadn’t, probably just the timing with my life when it came out I guess.
I’m a big fan of legos so that’s not too far.
I’m playing it vaguely like Deep Rock Galactic, although even a diamond sword pales compared to a minigun or flamer.Atomic Heart. DAMN this games good!! I know it won the steam award for visuals, but it feels like no one is playing this thing? I’m a little ways before the end of it, but it’s already rocketed up to the levels of Prey or Titanfall 2 or the bioshocks for me.
The game is definitely interesting, but I just don’t want to support the developer.
🏴☠️
I can’t even remember the high seas since steam and non stop sales became a standard. So… Doesn’t Atomic Heart come with denuvo?
Oh! Wow I actually don’t know, I played it off of Game Pass and didn’t even think about it.
Edit: yes Google says it does have denuvo. What a shame, hopefully it gets cracked. In the meantime I suggest game pass! Could easily beat it on a month, and cheaper than buying the copy
Currently playing Halo 2 in MCC as well as Yakuza 0. Just started Divinity Original Sin 2 with the wife. Arkham City is next on deck.
Red Dead Redemption 2. Everyone seems to love this game but I’m still on the fence about it. I feel like I’m spending so much time hunting to not be underweight that I’m not really playing the game. The controls are weird to me and I’m not sure why.
I recently finished the story of God of War (2018), it was on sale for $25 in the steam winter sale so I said why not.
It’s pretty fun. The combat feels great, the story and acting is extremely compelling, and it looks really good too.
After finishing that one, I decided to go back and try to finish Horizon: Zero Dawn, and that ones kinda fun. The acting and story aren’t nearly as interesting or good, but the machine combat can be kinda fun, and I’ve been treating it like a hunting game.
