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’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.
Played Super Mario Bros 2 for the first time since I’ve been an adult.
I was watching the Awesome Games Done Quick marathon and remembered I loved that game as a kid. Might do Sunshine again next.
Mario 2 is kind of a trip.
It’s weird and funky, love it.
I’ve had great fun replaying oldies
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.
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.
Lost Odyssey, a bit under 20 hours in. There are elements of it that are driving me nuts, but there’s a lot I really like. I wish I’d played this 15 years ago.
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.Ohhhh, you are going to have a lot of great time. My favourite thing is building something in Survival mode. Anything looks better after you’ve put so much effort into creating it
If you are playing the Java edition of Minecraft there may be a mod that adds what you are looking for.
Started Assassins Creed Black Flag. The on-foot gameplay is nearly identical to 3 and the lack of a crouch anywhere but “concealing” areas like grass turns me off. Don’t forget the little quirks every early Assassins Creed has regarding traversal. You wanted to jump over the fence? Best I can do is climb it and run along it till I jump in a bush to the right.
However, the surprisingly deep naval combat keeps me coming back.
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.
Containerization really is cool. The problem is that once you start you will get increasingly angry about all the game servers that just will not run that way, like Conan Exiles and Astroneer.
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’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
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.
I just almost finished yakuza 0 yesterday, got stuck on the last fight, so will play some sleeping dogs in the meantime until I g3met the will to retry the fight for the 70th times ( I’m playing on the hard difficulty )
Went back to playing Civ 5 and Civ 6 recently with friends, and even though Civ 5 is much older, we seem to enjoy it way more due to it being more simple. Civilization traits are way more easy to understand, AI feels better and more threatening and games are faster.
Biggest problem I had with Civ 6 was the AI. Felt like I’d win games by no later than the Renaissance, which is a shame because the increased transparency with how AI leaders reacted/will react to you was probably the best change.
I also loved the social policy system. Laughed when I saw them add it to Stellaris.
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.
Nier automata, took the prequel too,
That’s really good shit.
Good “chilling” vibes.Nier games are day one purchases for me. One of my favourite series.
Honestly, best series of all time. Came in blind and really fell down the rabbit hole.
I wish I was prepared for one of the game mechanics though. I won’t say more but it a chore for me, personally. It is amazing how much fans respect the game though it is hard to stumble on spoilers after all these years!
Oh yeah, I’m not even in the mid game, but I’m on the hype for sure.
And I’m a keyboard addict playing it with controller (I tried just the first time with KB… XD). For now this is the only weakness I see.
No one lives forever can be downloaded free online. The Wikipedia says the devs shared the source code at some point and it’s in copyright hell so pretty much only way to get it. Was pretty fun, playing on the hardest difficult was kind of annoying though. Last boss fight was ridiculous. On to f.e.a.r.!
