I just platinumed Jedi Survivor (which was awesome, you should play it) and I’m looking for my next new awesomeness to play.
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
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.
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).
DayZ and Dwarf Fortress. The DF official soundtrack is so ooooo good
Replaying Control, I can play this one repeatedly.
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.
I’ve mostly been playing Wreckfest on my Steam Deck. Fun to pick up and play a few rounds.
Kingdom Eighties, it came out today and it’s a little bit of a spinoff from the traditional kingdom games, quite fun tho!
My router died a couple of days ago (using mobile data to post this) do I have to play offline games… Good thing I installed a bunch of games on GoG just in case. Tried out Indiana Jones and the Fate of Atlantis this morning, currently clearing the tutorial dungeon in Daggerfall Unity.
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.
Final Fantasy XVI while keeping up with my dailies on Final Fantasy XIV and Star Trek Online and Savage raiding in Final Fantasy XIV
Mix of Diablo 4 and Halo Infinite multi-player depending on which friend group is online. Technically started AC:Valhalla as my single player game, but I get so little alone gaming time these days that I’m still only 45 minutes in after 3 weeks.
Cyberpunk !
Same! I’m slowly working my way through a melee build. Definitely won’t finish before the patches change the gameplay significantly. Not sure how that’ll feel mid playthrough
Im doing a melee build too! Still early off but love the katana can’t wait for mantis blades
Final Fantasy XVI, and it’s consuming my thoughts to a degree that surprises me, considering I haven’t really liked one of those games since FFX. I’ve already put 15 hours on it since Friday (quite a bit for me, I don’t get very much time to game these days). It really is incredible; I haven’t had this much fun with a game since probably Read Dead II. I’m also playing Battlebit Remastered on the rare occasion that my friends and I are able to game at the same time.
I travel for work so on my laptop I installed Fallout 4 with a modpack obtained through Wabbajack installer (Welcome to Paradise) and I’m playing through as a melee-only knight. I’m using console commands to stock up on stimpacks and radaway so that I don’t have to stop and loot since I’ve played this game several times; I can just run around like a madman with a sword, slicing legions of enemies apart. Playing it as an action game has been a ton of fun.Also nice username/pic @Teft, I’m a big Stormlight Archives fan.
Steam Deck:
- This means warp (co-op rogue-like that’s pretty fun)
- Dicey Dungeons
PC:
- Tiny Tina’s Wonderlands
- Guild Wars 2
