Baldur’s gate 3 and by the looks of things I’ll be playing it for a while… Good.
No, seriously, this game is fcking huge, 12 hours in and I’m still on act 1

“Stray Gods” is an incredibly beautiful game. I was turned off by the playstyle at first, but then I embraced it and got really invested in the characters and the story. I recommend it to anyone who enjoys Greek mythology and/or fantastic stories about interpersonal drama and enjoys games with tough dialogue choices.
The soundtrack also!!! It’s a musical game and the songs are all SO BEAUTIFUL. I teared up a few times.
Been playing Titanfall 2 for the past couple weeks. Love Frontier Defense.
Returnal (PC) - Still playing the Tower of Sisyphus even though I beat the game. This is the most impressed I’ve been with a Playstation “exclusive” since the PS2, it’s so good. I bet a lot of people give up on it pretty quick because of the difficulty, but I find it’s less difficult than a Souls game once you get a handle on it.
Horizon Zero Dawn (PC) - I kinda want to get to the part where they explain the robot animals (Dr. Eggman?), but the half-assed combat and boring open world are making me not want to bother.
20XX (PC)- It’s fun, but it’s also giving me a new appreciation for how well-designed the Mega Man games were. You’re not supposed to be hitting your head on the bottoms of platforms in games like this, lmao.
I’ve been playing Hades again. I played it a while back, but only had like 30 attempts and 3 successes. The hype of the 64 heat run and the sequel coming soon got me back into it to hopefully finish the game.
Remnant 2, Age of Empires 4 and GG Strive. Remnant 2 has me hooked, I really liked the first one but this game takes it to another level.
Started Mafia: Definitive Edition.
Salt 2 is a pretty good indie pirate game. You sail around a procedurally generated archipelago doing quests for various factions while building up your ship, and it’s pretty relaxing. It’s still in development so it’s missing features like ship to ship combat, but it’s the closest thing to a single player sea of thieves
Baldurs gate 3 like many people
Playing through the Quake 2 Remaster with a nostalgic feeling. Now, having kids, I realize that I should not have had access to that at 13 yo. Distribution channels were different in 1997.
Damn right you shouldn’t have had access to the Quake 2 remaster in 1997. Time travel violates the laws of established physics. :P
Gave Baldur’s Gate 3 a try, I don’t think it’s for me. I didn’t realize before starting that I absolutely fucking hate that kind of RNG, the Mindflayer “aesthetic” (body horror á la HR Giger-on-some-less-friendly-hallucinogenics? Check. Eye scream? Check. ), the threat of having content locked behind “lol, fuck you, you got the wrong dice roll hours ago”, and, under the hood, a bunch of spreadsheet-esque mechanics I don’t know jack about, never having played DnD.
Shame, seems like a lot of fun if you’re into it.
I save scum in this play through, but I dont intend to on the next one. Part of the magic is that the game adapts to your bad dice rolls. Just because you succeeded a roll doesn’t mean it’s the “good” option. It’s just a different one.
And the eye horror stuff is really only in the intro (although I’m only 20 hours in so it may come up later)
If you want, the game is very susceptible to save scumming
Baldur’s Gate 3. And when I’m finally through it, I’m going to start Wrath of the Righteous. My sister’s had it for a while and I only recently saw what it was about and I have to play it.
I play Baldur’s Gate 3, too. But I don’t know what I’m doing… I found out I lost Laezel somewhere… I don’t even remember where and thought it was just a tutorial… I’m too weak to fight Nere and cannot move on in the main quest, because “it’s too dangerous” and I don’t know where to go to get stronger. I’m wandering along the old areas and try to find out what to do.
I’m so strong, I haven’t even had to fight Nere; both times I reached that part, motherfucker was already dead somehow. 🤷🏻♂️
I’m guessing you lost Lae’zel after the nautiloid crashed? You need to explore the map a little more. She isn’t too far from where you’d find Gale; but apparently, something like 70% of players miss Gale, too. Which is crazy since they’re like 10 feet from the crash site up north.
I missed Gale since the description of the portal said it felt dangerous. Only returned 3 levels later thinking there was a challenge.
This is why I save before doing anything. Some of the game overs you can get are hilarious. I got turned into a wedge of cheese once!
