Whatcha all been playing!
I’ve been playing a lot of slay the spire, finally got a heart win with ironclad, leaving only the watcher without one. Also finished the true ending for animal well which was a blast!
Dark Souls 2. I chose Sorcerer class and I’m getting my ass kicked regularly. Great fun though.
Godspeed. DS2 is the only Fromsoft game I just did not click with. I have started it several times, but it doesn’t hold my interest.
Picked up Slay the Spire on sale on Friday and I’ve put 30 hours into it this weekend.
Not an easy game, but fun.
Still having lots of fun with Diablo 4 season 4.
Me too, I have a lot of fun with it this season.
I finished Arthur’s act for We Happy Few, and now I kind of remember why I stopped playing the first time. Just finishing the first act feels like a complete game in itself, and it definitely takes up enough time to be a complete game, especially with how large the map is and with as many side quests as there are. It feels rather daunting to start all over again from scratch as Sally. I thought about playing another game before starting Sally’s story, but I’m afraid that I’ll do the same thing I did last time and end up not finishing it again.
Finished up Wind Waker HD last week so I am in between games. Might get back to Skyward Sword.
Cemu or original hardware? I love playing the original on the Wii U but it’s cool upscaling to 1440p
Cemu. As much as I would love having a Wii U, I kind of prefer all my gaming on one machine as much as possible.
Put a shocking amount of time into Unicorn Overlord last week.
I think they executed the cross between Fire Emblem and Ogre Battle very well. Squad composition makes up for the lack of individual customization that is typical of the FE lineage of strategy RPGs (as opposed to the FFT/Tactics Ogre line). The overworld management is a fun exploration side activity that isn’t as time-consuming as Three Houses’s social stuff. Basiscape brought its usual excellent soundtrack, and Vanillaware their usual impressively detailed art. Plot is whatever, I don’t play these games for the plot, I play them to make anime sprites stab each other so numbers go up. So, yeah, it’s fun.
(No, I don’t actually like Disgaea that much, mostly because “figuring out how to break the game is the game” doesn’t appeal to me.)
Manor Lords all the way. There’s a big Cities Skylines II patch coming out this week (I hope). I might fire it up and check it out. It’s getting close to “release quality” after pretty crappy release.
I got randomly recommend “Kena: Bridge of Spirits” recently by Steam and decided to go for it. I just finished the story and it was definitely a good recommendation. Hard enough to make me work for it, which I always like. It is kinda short though, finished it in like 12 hours. It’s a bit janky at times with the camera and jumping, but overall a great experience.
I’ve been getting back into anarchy Minecraft as an old buddy of mine is kinda resurrecting a base I used to be active at.
The scene is mostly dead, on our main server it’s 2 to 4 players on average which is crazy to me. It used to be from 50 to 100 most evenings.
Now I’ve got a 2 million blocks trip to make, even auto walking on the nether roof that’s gonna take some time. But it’s also an occasion to revisit some historic milestones along the way! I was able to get my hands on one signed book a friend had given me some time before passing away so it’s also kind of an emotional journey.
I am between games at the moment. Having finished university until September, I have a wide open summer, and a huge list of games… and am thus suffering from choice overload, not certain what I want to play.
What are your options?
Honestly too many to count. GOG Galaxy, with its links to the other platforms, has over 400 games on it, most of which I’ve never played. Serious choice overload.
I finally got around to the Paper Mario: The Thousand Year Door remake, and it has been amazing so far.
Still on that World of Warcraft Remix: Mists of Pandaria grind. I just finished upgrading all my gear, so now I’ll focus on unlocking all the cosmetics and stuff. I also started a second character, a Priest, but I don’t really enjoy it right now. So, I’ll probably just use this mode to speedlevel a few characters, that I’ll never touch again.
Like a dragon : Ishin !
Great game
I finished DMC 5 SE sometime last week (or the “primary” arc at least) and it was fun as heck.
I moved on to Stellar Blade, combat is very fun/engaging, but story is utter sh*t (so comparisons with NieR were definitely unwarranted IMO, seeing as it’s pretty much the opposite of my experience with Automata).As far as this weekend goes, I am playing Hellblade II, which was probably my most anticipated game of the year. I am loving it so far!
Started Farming Simulator 22. It works incredibly well under Wayland but you should disable V-sync for that.
