Gaming

Minecraft. New patch is out, so I recently started playing with a couple of friends.

I'm playing Overboard, it's basically a "How to get away with murder" game. It's very fun !

In trying to finish Tales of Legendia for the PS2. I'm currently at the character Quest for Norma. Really liking this game despite it's age, very funny game, brilliant music and interesting characters.

Just started playing Mars First Logistics.

I've been playing through Control, which has been pretty fun, but... I just came out of TotK and every other game so far feels a bit... shallower. I don't know how to explain it. I've also been taking breaks into Infinifactory again to finally finish it. Been a while since I've felt the itch for Zachtronics, and it feels good. The mechanical intricacy overshadows that hollow feeling.

What should I play next if TotK has set my bar so high? Will it just fade in time?

Xcom2, Crazy addictive

Death Stranding. Bought it a while back, but wasn't in the mood for a more contemplative/atmospheric game then. Now seems to be a good time to appreciate running errands!

Got myself a steam deck and what do I play on it? Euro Truck Simulator 2. This game, I tell you, it's so incredibly relaxing and doesn't take a lot of brain power so it's great to relax with while sitting on the couch in the evening. 🤷

Dead by daylight is having it's anniversary event so largely that, mixed in with BattleBots and some diablo 4

I'm working on playing through all the halo games in (in game) chronological order! Finished halo wars, halo reach, last week, and halo CE yesterday and also started on halo 2 yesterday.

The outer worlds. Its pretty fun. Though kinds just Fallout with a space theme. Shame you dont get to fly the ship.

Diablo 4 is my bread and butter right now... with a side of Dredge on my Switch.

I finally upgraded my graphics card to a 4070 Ti, despite the ridiculous pricing (been waiting for over 3 years to upgrade and I've using a GTX 1050 on a 1440p monitor this entire time). Now I'm working through a considerable backlog of GPU-intensive games that I was unable run well or even at all.

Started with God of War and I'm loving it! Next up is Read Dead Redemption 2.

Conan Exiles. I've had it in my library for ages but never gave it much thought. I'm having a lot of fun building my fortress and converting the locals to be my thralls.

Lately, I've been obsessed with Into The Breach, a mecha vs kaiju strategy game by the developers of FTL. It's surprisingly challenging, and more similar to chess than any other strategy computer game I've played before.

Ghostrunner. I had a go at it some time ago, but it didn't really hold my attention. This time it's grabbed me. Super fast-paced and fun action, with an okay story (I'm not finished the story, but so far it feels fairly generic and that it'd building to a pretty obvious reveal) that I'm enjoying. If anyone is a fan of Mirror's Edge, I recommend this game; it's scratching the same itches for me, at least.

I just finished the main story for Bioshock Infinite. What a mind fuck. I'm still tripping over the reveal. I'm gonna be vague here because I don't want to give spoilers. And it seems there are no spoiler tags on lemmy yet.

I can't believe how many hints they gave me that I completely missed. They essentially tell you a couple of times, and I still missed it somehow. I almost want to go back and play it again to see how many hints I missed. I can think of a few off the top of my head, but I'm sure there are more.

Anyway, I'm playing the DLCs now. I enjoyed the first one, but the second one is seeming a bit painful. I really don't like stealth games.

Trying to play tears of the kingdom however the button location for sprint and jump are really holding me back. I don’t remember struggling this much with botw.

Walkabout mini-golf on the Quest 2. I also played it last week, and I will play it again next week. Walkabout Wednesdays are one of the most enjoyable parts of my week, and if you have a VR headset then you owe it to yourself to give Walkabout a try!

Yooka-Laylee hit that sub $5 sale I've been waiting for. Its really does have the charm, which is good because it still has some wild issues (imagine no remappable keybinds in 2023).

Story of Seasons and Two Point Hospital. I've completed the latter on PC before but this is the first time on PS5

Waiting til payday for Final Fantasy XVI. Stuffing my time with Genshin Impact, Pokémon and Final Fantasy XIV!
