A gaming sub free from the hype and oversaturation of current releases, catering to gamers who wait at least 12 months after release to play a game. Whether it's price, waiting for bugs/issues to be patched, DLC to be released, don't meet the system requirements, or just haven't had the time to keep up with the latest releases.

I've read for years that Prey (2017) was a game you do no research on and just go in blind. My goodness I'm glad I did. Love the game so far at about 2 hours in

I wasn't super keen on the mimics at the start, but the game just kept getting better and better.

I've started Mooncrash but it's on hiatus at the moment, until I find more time or tick another couple of games off the list.

Kingdom Come: Deliverance. I had it on PC before but never finished it so I got in on the XBOX sale as I find it more comfortable to play on the sofa.

It's pretty good so far although the save system is irritating.

I hope we get a sequel announced soon.

That Persona 3 Reload trailer has got me thinking about Atlus games again, so I'm gonna finally check out Catherine.

It really seems like the right level of weird so far.

Catherine is great, though I only played Classic and not Full Body. It takes itself more seriously than you'd except from the marketing (edit: the romantic stuff I mean; the rest of the game is funny AF), and the animation is great.

Though of all things, I remember it because it remixes classical music, which made the endgame ridiculous in a good way.

WAIT PERSONA 3 RELOAD TRAILER? WHAT??

Please do not be messing with me right now...

[–] [email protected] 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

FYI, it's a remake of base P3, so no FES or Portable content. Knowing Atlus, that will come in P3RR a year later and be exclusive to iOS.

Wow, just saw the trailer, it looks good! My boy Makoto's 3D model finally looking as good as the official art makes him. Is there a SMT/Persona community on Lemmy yet?

Knowing Atlus, that will come in P3RR a year later and be exclusive to iOS.

Do not put that out into the world, you know that'll actually happen T_T

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

I don't think Lemmy's big enough for niche communities like a SMT specific one.

Spiritfarer - it took me years to get around to playing it. It's quite lovely!

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

Lovely is definitely the right word. Been meaning to go back, there was a character added since I played last.

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

Hollow Knight - started last week and got through initial frustration, now I'm enjoying it and expect to love it by the end!

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

Replaying Hellblade. I absolutely loved it on my first play-through a couple of years back, and I'm excited to go through it again.

This weekend I managed to get in some time with Boltgun and Signals. Apparently I was in need of chunky pixels.

Botgun - Warhammer 40,000 boomer-shooter nonsense.

Signals - Dead space but Silent Hill via the inventory management from RE (6 slots are enough for anyone, right?)

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

Signalis is a masterpiece that will not get out of my brain. And I'm not even big into survival horror.

Darkest Dungeon! Going great so far. Playing in babby mode, still haven't activated the Crimson Court DLC. Should I?

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

I might start Crysis 1

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

Been playing PlateUp! With my gf, brother, and friends depending on the day. It's been a blast, I'd highly recommend it if roguelite overcooked sounds like a fun time to anybody!

I've also been playing Sid Meier's Pirates! It's been really fun, even if in some ways it's kinda simple. Despite it being fairly old, it's still engaging enough to keep my adhd attention affixed on it. Would highly recommend, especially since it's so cheap nowadays!

I'm working my way through the Stormblood expansion of Final Fantasy XIV. It's still way too early to tell if I like the story more or less than Heavensward, but I know anecdotally people find this one to be kinda weak.

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

I really enjoyed post-Stormblood. Was fairly lukewarm on the main story though.

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

Been playing through Cult of the Lamb mostly. It's pretty good aside from some repetitiveness involving your cult management and dungeons, but it's still got a nice amount of variety to it. Quests are super easy to just ignore if you don't feeling like completing them too. Looking forward to finishing it soon.

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

No one said running a cult was going to be easy.

I've been playing Shapez that I picked up for $3 the other week. It's like a chill factorio, so it scratches that itch for me. Apparently they're working on a sequel, so maybe I'll play that next decade when it's on sale.

Hades. I'm not a fan of rogue-like games, but this one is awesome! I bought it second time on a different platform and trying to beat it on 100% again. I think for me one of the most appealing things of that game isdesign. Like, it's done amazingly well, "with love and care" one would say

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

For me it is Hades as well. Impulse purchase and I like so far. I'm progressing very slowly though. Still hesitant to active Godmode.
