Puzzling Places has been an unexpected joy after I got it in a bundle with Tetris Effect.

Can't stop playing Balatro since picking it up. There's so many achievements to do. Even finished Jokerless challenge, took about month.

Otherwise Factorio, of course.

Almost everyone on Lemmy are huge nerds (me included) and are too busy playing Factorio to post replies to your question. THE FACTORY MUST GROW

1m Bullet chess.

I finally understand why gamers obsess about ping.

I like chess, but I can't think that fast. At that speed, I can only do [email protected] : push pawns, fork things with knights, always take en passant, and try not to blunder away the queen.

Skullmonkeys after finally getting a PS1 emulator working

ALTF4. Its old and it's five bucks on steam and worth every penny.

AC Valhalla. I've recently finished odyssey and I wanted to play another "turn off the brain checklist open world game"

It's very rough around the edges (bugs, clipping, clunky movement) and it got me frustrated time and time again, but the thing I'm disliking the most are the frequent and mandatory raids. If I wanted a full fledged action game I'd be playing wukong or some shit.

Enabling insta-kill assassination from the accessibility options is what's been saving the game for me.

I'm also considering about lowering the difficulty. The second hardest one is making the enemies unreasonably tanky, which does not bode well with the shittiest healing system I have ever seen in a videogame.

Warhammer 40K

It’s really deep, the community is pretty cool, we all 3d print and despise the company that makes the game. Sounds wonderful to me.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Is there an AR app for warhammer 40k yet, to measure distances, get stats, roll dice etc?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 day ago

No, but we do have web apps for sheets… finally

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Love minipainting but man the full sets for 40k are time consuming as heck

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 day ago

That’s true, but, like I said, it’s replaced gaming for me entirely.

Diablo 4 and Hi-Fi Rush

Hi-Fi Rush is amazing. Such a fun title, great story, great concept, great art style, great music.

Diablo 4’s new expansion is fun, I’m really enjoying the extremely broken, unbalanced new class. The game is a great companion to audiobooks or podcasts.

Brotato...so much Brotato...

Just got Dome Keeper a little while ago, hopefully that helps me break the cycle...

Just started playing Rainworld, good lord is it amazing

Just got into Metaphor ReFantazio! Just reached the first major dungeon and so far I am very impressed. Quite a lot of great QOL stuff over the Persona series, and it has a very well written story with a very unique vibe so far.

I personally think I still prefer the vibe of Persona over Metaphor, but this is seriously a really cool game. I highly recommend you try out the Prologue demo even if you've never played Persona before or don't care for JRPGs, because this is something truly different and I think there's still a chance you might like it. The demo is super meaty too since it's literally just the first four hours or so of the game.

I've also been playing with my buds WEBFISHING which is basically an Animal Crossing esc chill fishing game with lots of neat stuff to do. It's really fun to play just to hang out with your friends and chat.

If you want something more intense as well, STRAFTAT just released yesterday and it's fun as hell. It's basically a Free to Play (Not P2W) 1v1 arena shooter that's really hectic. It's got a really strange aesthetic that I really like and it's quite fun for a free little game. And if you end up liking it, you can throw the devs a bone and buy a $5 DLC that adds more maps, weapons, and cosmetics. They even made it so only the host has to buy the DLC and anyone who connects gets to play on those maps with those weapons for free. Really neat little game and really fun with a buddy.

Someone on here posted a glowing review of Fields of Mistria. I downloaded the game and I can't stop playing it!

It's that perfect cozy farm Sim game, mimicking the best parts of Stardew Valley and minimizing the worst parts. I cannot wait for the full release, and I'm so glad I happened upon that review!

Europa Universalis 4

For some reason I've been trying to get a specific achievement for weeks

Finally got around to playing Disco Elysium. What a game!

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 day ago

I walked the land telling whores and liars of the End to come. There are 9,855 days remaining.

Factorio Space Age! It was Satisfactory 1.0, but I got distracted πŸ˜…

[–] [email protected] 6 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago) (1 children)

I just bought Portal and Portal 2 and finished them both. Very good games, with great puzzles and story.

I am planning to buy more from Valve in the future.

P.S: This was a triumph

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 days ago

Try portal community maps.

[–] [email protected] 18 points 2 days ago (4 children)

Just reinstalled Satisfactory. Time to finish it for once.

Just started Baldur's Gate 3. Never played a CRPG before (does Disco Elysium count?) so it has been quite the learning curve for combat. Pretty stuck in the Underdark, it seems. Looks like I'll have to help out a slavetrader Gekh in order to proceed because I don't think I can defeat him and his buddies...

Metaphor ReFantazio. I'm not a big Persona fan, but this game rules.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 days ago

Amber Isle. It's like a dinosaur-themed animal crossing except you're tom nook. It's a bit buggy, but it's really cute and exactly my kinda thing lol.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 days ago

Guild Wars 2

Maybe like 5-10 mins of Grim Dawn here and there

In the tabletop space, my group is recording season 3 of our podcast and this season we are playing Mausritter, and it's a blast

[–] [email protected] 24 points 3 days ago (5 children)

Satisfactory!! 1.0 is great

I'm replaying Warhammer 40k: Rogue Trader. Doing a Dogmatic run with the DLC. I think that now all the issues have been ironed out, this game is truly Owlcat's Magnum Opus.
