Battlebit: Remastered.
Even when the game is occasionally “Spawn, Die, Revive, Die” it is surprisingly fun.
And the thing is, everyone playing it is surprised on how fun it is. The voice-chat often is full of “how is this game this fun!?!”
Large to small maps, varieties of weapons and gadgets, vehicles and destructible buildings.
I’ve been having a ton of fun playing it.
Ghost of Tsushima on PS5, loving it.
It is very prone to burnout though. Probably go through the story sidequests only up until the third act.
I’ve been going through a nasty divorce, so my tastes have gotten weird with my emotions. And I’ve been using my laptop hooked to my new 4K tv as a console, and it’s been great for a 2019 thinkpad x1 carbon.
I started replaying Life is Strange because I craved some emotion. It’s one of my favorite games and I haven’t played it since 2017, so it feels fresh.
And then I picked up the two Lego Harry Potter games on steam because I craved something innocent and fun. It’s actually a lot better than I expected.
And I’ve been playing left for dead, the original. There is a surprising amount of people playing this, and I had no problems finding people to play with. But they probably think I’m an idiot because I’m always too stoned to be playing lol.
Hope you find some catharsis in LIS and some comfort in Lego.
Thank you friend.
Been playing FF16. Really been enjoying it! It’s really just a movie or TV series with sporadic combat. But I really enjoy storyline in games more than gameplay most times. I like that they added items to make the combat stupid easy for someone like me that has never been good at doing combo moves. I feel like it might be a bit too easy at times, but still fun. I swore to never buy another FF game after 13, but I’m glad they released a demo so I could see how fun the game would be.
I’ve also been playing FF16 recently and been loving it. I can’t really explain what makes it so good because in many ways it just isn’t a great game. But what it does well, it’s doing really well. It’s just so enjoyable to play.
Horizon zero dawn. Really early in the game but I like the mechanics, gameplay, and atmosphere so far.
Oh man, you’re in for a treat. The opening is by far the weakest part of the game so if you’re already enjoying it you’re going to love it when it opens up. Scan everything you can and soak up bits of story as they are given to you. It’s a very slow burn that delivers expert pacing in revealing itself to the player.
I found myself happily mopping up all the sidequests after completion, just because the scenery was so gorgeous. Have you checked out the DLC for Forbidden West yet? Thinking of getting it before I sell the PS5
I was the exact same way. One of the first games I kept playing after the story was done, actually.
Haven’t done the DLC for FW yet, but I do plan to.
Yakuza 0 and the camera sucks.
Stick with it, the Yakuza games are all a little bit jank in their execution but the story and characters make up for it.
They’re so damn long though. I feel like I’ve been playing Yakuza 0 for the last 3 years and it never ends.
Yeah I’m still playing despite not evens facing my opponent in a fight half the time lol. the story is pretty good. I enjoy the goofyness of it all.
Sniper Elite 5. That series is like my sneaky sniper comfort food. I also just got a sonos arc soundbar and subwoofer and tried it out for the first time with the game. In the sonos app, they are now under the media group named, “Boom!Headshot”. lol
GBA Advance Wars… I missed it first time round, so I’m playing it through on my Miyoo Mini Plus. Absolutely perfect handheld game, ideal to grab for a quick half hour mission.
I recently got Techtonica, or if you prefer “Underground Satisfactory”. One interesting difference is your research for new technologies creates a bulky waste product that you have to find room for…
Just started Remnant 2, very excited to get deeper into the game!
God of War 2 (PS2) and Lemmings (SNES). Lemmings is as great as ever, God of War is also great.
I was addicted to lemmings as a kid! I recently just saw a video for a new game called “Humanity” which looks like a modernized play on the same idea, with crowds of people instead of lemmings.
Nice, I’ll look it up! Also, come join [email protected]
Strangely similar body counts by end of such wildly different games.
Heh, never occurred to me.
Days gone, i like it alot.
Surprisingly good game, I enjoyed it quite a bit a few months ago.
Dumb as a brick story, nothing about anything actually makes sense when you think about it for more than 2 seconds, but it’s fun as hell, hordes are legitimately terrifying at times and it looks great and runs like a dream.
Finished FF16 yesterday, so damn good
I am thoroughly enjoying it right now. Honestly one of the first FF narratives I’ve been deeply invested in for a while. It somehow manages to be over the top but still feel grounded enough to connect with the characters.
Finished bioshock 2 days ago after having it on my backlog for years and years. Was really fun, some aspects do show their age, like the “horror” sequences, which are more funny than scary nowadays, but in general it holds up pretty well imo. It’s really interesting to see how a libertarian dystopia and ayn rand on crack could look like.
Playing bioshock 2 now, while it’s of course still fun, I’m a bit underwhelmed because it’s literally the same game but they made Adam more annoying to get by having to fight off waves of splicers. Looking forward to bioshock infinite.
Let my PC gamepass lapse since getting a Steam Deck and the only game I really missed was Battletech. Picked it up in the Steam sale and finally started a new campaign today.
Never got more than a few hours in before but this is exactly what I want right now. It just feels so enormous and grand and does an excellent job of making me feel like a speck in the galaxy.
