Can't wait to find someone who will play It Takes Two with me. As the name suggests, it takes two people to play and I am but one person. :(

[–] bratosch@lemm.ee 7 points 1 month ago (1 children)

If you find someone, you should also play 'A Way Out' !

Play it ASAP, it's great.

[–] LittleTarsier@lemmy.ca 3 points 1 month ago

I just finished my first playthrough and wanted to start a new game immediately afterward. I've never felt like that after a game before. Disco Elysium is an amazing game.

Mass Effect Legendary Edition.

Never played ME, before, but I hear it's pretty good.

[–] FeelzGoodMan420@eviltoast.org 7 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

Mass Effect is really one of a kind. The first game is the most epic Space Opera that I have ever played/watched. It puts Star Wars and others to shame. They retconned shit in the 2nd and 3rd games so in my opinion the first one remains the best story-wise. But honestly, all three are great.

I am very sad that no other studios tried to do anything even remotely comparable. The closest I can think of is Starfield, which wasn't very good.

[–] thingsiplay@beehaw.org 7 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Me too. I have the "old" versions "Mass Effect 2007", "Mass Effect 2 2010" and "Mass Effect 2 (2010) Edition" (for some reasons there are two versions of old ME2) on Steam and was about to buy Legendary Edition and finally getting started to play. But I'm not happy with the additional requirements of it, as it requires Origin client and an EA account to play this single player game. This is unacceptable to me. Old versions do not require this.

So after my research and being confused of multiple versions and if the Legendary Edition is worth it, lost interest. But ME2 is still on my list to play soon.

[–] termus@beehaw.org 3 points 1 month ago (1 children)

You can mod the first three to get it close to par with the Legendary edition. The improvements they made in LE on all 3 make it worth playing, but if a user account is your limit I guess not. There are a ton of mods for LE now as well.

I'm jealous of a 1st play through. It's incredible.

[–] Telorand@reddthat.com 4 points 1 month ago

That's what I keep hearing! Looking forward to a good space opera

[–] averyminya@beehaw.org 5 points 1 month ago

My friend loves Mass Effect, he liked the LE quite a bit.

Baba is you. I know the game was made by people much smarter than I am, I know I'm going to get stuck chasing a bad idea for 30+ minutes..

I have just not been feeling puzzley lately.

[–] thisisbutaname@discuss.tchncs.de 8 points 1 month ago (3 children)

Elden Ring.

I've bought it on sale knowing my PC can't run it. As soon as I finally update it that's the first game I'm gonna install.

Baldur's Gate 2

Sadly I just can't read so much at the moment.

[–] sylveon@lemmy.blahaj.zone 6 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago) (2 children)

My backlog and my library are huge so I'll choose a few (in no particular order):

  • Baldur's Gate 3
  • Cosmic Wheel Sisterhood
  • Inscryption
  • Hades
  • Hollow Knight
  • Outer Wilds DLC (I've been putting it off because it's supposedly scary)
  • Stray
  • Little Kitty, Big City
  • Monster Train
  • Moonstone Island
[–] teawrecks@sopuli.xyz 4 points 1 month ago (1 children)

It's worth noting that the "scary" parts of the Outer Wilds DLC (are very mild, and) are not mandatory. That is to say, for the most part, if you find solving a part of the game too stressful, try approaching it differently.

I loved the base game and DLC. Should be the top of any backlog IMO.

i have spiritfarer but my mom is on the way out and I'm waiting to play it until i need it

If you're looking for more like it, Gris is on sale for 1.50 right now on steam. Beautiful game with similar themes.

[–] Panties@lemmy.ca 6 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Animal well and wingspan. I think there are others too, despite trying hard to keep stuff in my wishlist instead of backlog.

Mostly my backlog comes from starting a game and then getting distracted by something else.

[–] autumn@beehaw.org 6 points 1 month ago

wingspan

i love both the physical and digital versions of this game. 🕊️

[–] t3rmit3@beehaw.org 6 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago) (1 children)

Main backlog I actually want to play currently:

If you can't tell from Isles of Adalar and Monomyth, any game that looks like a Morrowind knock-off is a high priority for me. :P

In reality though, I'll just play more Avorion and Starsector.

[–] Glide@lemmy.ca 11 points 1 month ago

Do yourself a favor and stop putting off Cassette Beasts. Every time I play it, I am gobstruck that an indie team made this and sells it for a fraction of the price of whatever mediocrity Pokemon is pumping out.

I could sing it's praises all day, but I'd rather just politely nudge you to push it up the list.

[–] AceFuzzLord@lemm.ee 5 points 1 month ago

Looked through all of my games on Steam Deck and forgot I had a few. None of them I can't say I'm really interested in right now, but I'm somewhat excited about Psychonauts because I've heard good things about it.

[–] savvywolf@pawb.social 5 points 1 month ago (1 children)

One of these days I'll get around to playing A Hat in Time...

Remnant 2. Gotta finish Cyberpunk 2077 (again) first though. The damn DLC adding extra achievements has thrown everything off!

[–] saigot@lemmy.ca 5 points 1 month ago

Return of the obra dinn

I feel like it's a game to be played in one long go, so I'm waiting for the right time.

[–] drmoodmood@lemmy.ml 5 points 1 month ago

Pacific Drive for me! Played the demo and it seemed a pretty chill scavenging and driving game. I'll get to it once I'm done with The Outer Worlds and its DLC.

Sekiro. Friends tell me it's one of the harder From Software games so I'm looking forward to die many times.

[–] tias@discuss.tchncs.de 4 points 1 month ago (2 children)

Horizon Zero Dawn, Planet of Lana

[–] ninjaphysics@beehaw.org 3 points 1 month ago

When you get around to HZD, the DLC Frozen Wilds and Horizon: Forbidden West are highly recommended. I'm halfway through the second and it's so amazing.

So many... My backlog is big but I've been trying to work my way through it. Currently on my mind though is octopath 2, Grime, Ghost trick, Talos principal, and the trails games

[–] Varyag@lemmy.dbzer0.com 4 points 1 month ago

There's way too much stuff in there, but as of right now I think it's Mechanicus, and the Serious Sam HD remasters, thanks to a recommendation in another thread just now. I also have a couple interesting demos I downloaded. The problem is, I haven't played anything from my Steam at all in the past month or so. Everything I've been gaming has been outside of it.

Also hilariously, these Serious Sam games were the literal first games I bought when I created my Steam account and I never played through them. They were an impulse buy from a friend's recommendation back in the day but I wasn't as into boomer shooters as I am now.

[–] LittleTarsier@lemmy.ca 4 points 1 month ago

Frog Detective 3! I absolutely loved Frog Detective 1&2 but for some reason haven't gotten around to 3.

[–] Megaman_EXE@beehaw.org 4 points 1 month ago (1 children)

A good chunk of the 3DS library. So many titles I haven't gotten around to yet.

I need to eventually finish monster hunter iceborne and then play Rise! I have a feeling I'll probably end up just jumping to wilds though. It'll probably be hard to go back to older titles when that game releases.

The Yakuza series! I have only finished zero, 1 & 2. They release them faster than I'm getting to them lol.

[–] Ashen44@lemmy.ca 3 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Monster hunter mentioned!

I really want to tell you to give rise a try because the sunbreak expansion is absolute peak monster hunter, but I agree that february 28th release date is creeping up way too fast...

[–] Megaman_EXE@beehaw.org 3 points 1 month ago

I want to try it so badly! I loved that they leaned into the Japanese themes and imagery, too. I think I'll definitely have to make some time to play it.

I want to also play persona 3 for the first time, but it's like 100 hours or so, and I look at that number and think, "That'll take me 6 months to finish." Haha maybe I'll hermit myself inside the house this winter and smash it out in half that time

Half Life Alyx

[–] dillekant@slrpnk.net 3 points 1 month ago (1 children)

I've given up. I'm going to just keep adding to wishlist and nibble on a new one every now and then.

[–] Icarus@beehaw.org 3 points 1 month ago (1 children)

I feel this. In some ways it was a relief discovering that I didn't need to keep up with gaming anymore. I would just play what I want want to play, when. But unfortunately I've missed (or even forgotten) about a lot of games I really wanted to play.

Planescape: Torment

Waiting to get a better eyeglass prescription so I can read the tiny text

Metal Gear Solid V >:)

I bought that game day one, actually played like the first 4 missions, thought to myself "Wow, this is going to be incredible! I should wait until I have a loong weekend, hehe~", and then never touched it again.

I am glacially making my way through the first 4 now, though.
