My nephew is really into Plants vs Zombies, and I'll admit, it's sucked me in too. I'm trying to impress him by getting my name at a respectable position on the Endless Leaderboard on Xbox, but I'm having some trouble with my controller missing button presses when I go to arm a Cob Cannon for missile launch.
I can't believe I'm actually considering upgrading to an Xbox Series S in order to get smoother performance out of Plants Vs Fucking Zombies...
Halls of Torment. $5 game on steam that is like a Vampire Survivors clone, but with more rpg elements to it.
Game called Necesse. Still early access but what's out now feels like terraria (pre hard mode only) mixed with a colony sim. Super excited to see where it goes in the future.
Shadow of the Tomb Raider.
Backlog… so Far Cry 4
Heh, I beat that one a few years ago finally and I mentioned it to a friend of mine and he said, slightly confused "dude that game's like 6 years old."
Playing Forza Horizon 4 and Super Mario Odyssey right now. Games I have had on my backlog for too long.
For now I'm playing Battlebit Remastered and Remnant From the Ashes whilst I wait for the Early Access release of Remnant 2.
Looking to finish Hogwarts legacy before I leave for vacation since i hate how it plays with a controller, and I'm taking my deck on the road, so no mouse/keyboard.
I'll probably finish breath of the wild and give a crack to emulating tears of the kingdom while away, fallback will probably be either Yakuza 3 or something like that.
The Isle (beta branch)
So much fun growing up as a Dino in a Dino eat Dino world. At the best of times it can be scary as hell.
I’ve been bouncing between final fantasy XVI and Jedi survivor. Slowly making my way through the games and enjoying both.
I got myself Cult of the Lamb, finally, and it's been an absolute blast.
Outside of that, I play a lot of ESO, and am trying to finish up the dead god achievement in Binding of Isaac. Both are also fantastic
I have been playing the first season of Diablo 4 and it's been fun, not because of Diablo but because it's what my friends are doing.
Played through Persona 4 Golden this week and to fix my post persona depression I started Persona 5 Royal today.
I've been playing a lot of rainbow six siege quick play and call of duty MW2's DMZ game modes. I feel like one gives me the tactical fair shooter, and the other gives me a meaningfully paced combat loop.
Im a little pissed that the battle pass for diablo 4 doesn't work with my regular character. I just feel so estranged from that game since it costed so much and the combat and tasks just felt so dry. I guess the upside is that I have 90 days of the pass to hack away at it which isn't terribly pressing. I just wish their monetization strategy was like Halo Infinites battle passes where you could choose which one to progress on.
TES Skyrim - It's like a hideout for the past 11 years. Grim Dawn - Use it to get rid of the stress. The Sims 3 - When I want to build something.
Nearing the end of Trails of Cold Steel IV after spending the past several months working my way from Cold Steel I. I'm planning to get Trails into Reverie at some point, but will probably play the fan-translated Kuro no Kiseki first.
Star citizen.Tried it during the free fly event, loved it. Even though it's a piece of shit, it is one of the best pieces of shit I have ever seen/played.
Eternal Return just launched out of beta so I'm going to be grinding that for the foreseeable future.
This week has been keeping up with Honkai Star Rail dailies. I haven't done the new patch content yet, but I'm just spending my energy getting resources and leveling my team.
Beyond that, I've been grinding some casual matches in Street Fighter 6. My local card shop is hosting a small tournament on Saturday, and I at least want my BnB combos to land. I don't think I'll win, but playing in Platinum is at least showing me where my weaknesses are.
Last but not least, I got Baldur's Gate 3 for the early access bit. It's fun, if a bit slow, and can be pretty punishing. Not sure if I'll play the full game by save scumming or just living (and dying) with the consequences of my actions.
Wife and I are trading off between Harvestella (mostly her) and Outer Worlds (mostly me). In Outer Worlds I'm on the third planet and rather enjoying the examination of extremism. It's fun. In Harvestella I'm still in late Spring, just got to the first set of branching quests. I'm a sucker for JRPGs, so I'm really excited to share this with my wife. Her favorite game is Stardew Valley, so it is that right crossover of genres to get her into JRPGs. Which reminds me, we were playing Chrono Trigger together a few years back and stopped at the Black Omen because of some family emergency. Like, three hours to go until we were done unless we wanted to go for all the endings. aaaaaaaaaaa
Just finished Rayman Origins. Nearly a decade old but the game still looks incredible. Moving on to Zelda Link Between Worlds on 3DS now
Voices of the Void. It's a pretty sweet indie game on itch that's currently free. You play as a scientist who's been sent solo to man a radio observatory and send back any interesting radio signals you can find.
The game is still a "demo" but you can play everything that's been developed so far and it gets regular updates. It's being made in unreal engine but it's been dressed up to look like a hybrid of goldsrc half-life and Gmod. There are a lot of different signals, some boring, some... interesting, along with a lot of Easter eggs, secrets, places to explore and some forms of silliness. There are horror elements to the game, but I wouldn't say that it's really a horror game (unless you find aliens scary) because it tends to be pretty chill (though sometimes shit hits the fan).
It's free. Go try it. If you get into it and want help finding secrets, join the dev's discord. People catalog the stuff they've found there. Tbh it almost feels like you're stepping back in time to the time when your friend told you that he unlocked Luigi in Super Mario 64.
Flip-flopping between Minecraft Bedrock and Techtonia. The latter just came out and i'm struggling my way through it
Finally a bit of Counter-Strike 2. Almost felt guilty for not being able to play much despite getting the coveted beta invite.
