Finally finished all Elden Ring achievements this week (on the same save file too, with NG+2). Already getting withdrawal, need DLC injected into my veins.

Started Blasphemous (been in my backlog for a while), feels like I'm back in Hollow Knight but everything got even more Dark Soulsy.

Also enjoying new Overwatch update with friends and waiting for the next update of Genshin Impact.

On the back burner, a cute little Minesweeper puzzle collection called Tametsi whenever I need to switch up my brain activity.

Valheim. Just crafted iron scale armor for the first time with my wife and it looks bad-ass as fuck. If we weren't playing this I'd either be playing STALKER (as usual) or taking a second stab at The Witcher 3.

Finally bought Last of Us part 1 remaster for PC. Loving the nostalgia and they really did a great job with the graphics etc. def doesn’t feel like playing a 10 year old game.

BG3, Tales of Arise, and doing my dailies in Genshin Impact.

I’m firing up EFT for the first time. Hopefully my rig can handle it.

I’ve been playing Baldurs Gate 3 while being exceptionally bad at it as well as iRacing when I want to play something I know, but am still bad at

Finished up (mostly) Tunic early this week. Still working on translating the manual, and trying to think up more ideas for the (presumably) final final post-game puzzle.

If you're interested in exploration/discovery/puzzle games, I'll recommend it, with 2 caveats:

A) The combat system is really not good. Particularly with regard to boss fights. I've played all the optional post-game stuff in some BRUTALLY difficult games: Hollow Knight, Celeste, Dark Souls, Elden Ring... but THIS game is the one that broke me. Not just cause it's difficult, but it's difficult for all the worst reasons. Point being, don't hesitate to just drop the difficulty or turn on no-fail mode. It's not worth it.

B) Don't just write off the in-game language as puzzle only for puzzle enthusiasts. It is optional, but I wish I had been putting effort into solving it, little by little, since the beginnig. It would have been really satisfying to solve some of the other game puzzles that way.

I started Tunic yesterday and rang the first two bells (east and west). Loving it so far. Too bad work will get in the way for the most part of the week, I can't wait to delve into the game again :)

I enjoy a good Heroes or the storm. It's literally the only MOBA I can get my head around. No items, last hit and the like. Nore than one map and I only play Aram.

Some CSGO with the friends occasionally ( read - getting carried ).

I still have to finish ff7 ( near the end ) and intergrade ( not started ). Sifu is collecting dust as well. That was pretty interesting as well...

I bought diablo 4 and while I enjoyed the story ( although it takes them way too long to give you a horse ), I am not up for that grind. I still feel I'd circle back to d2 for grinding than this.

Medieval Dynasty. The best way to describe it is a medieval crafting/survival game that later adds in building and town management. Your goal is to ensure your legacy by getting a wife and producing an heir. Honestly, this game is time consuming but quite relaxing (aside from aggressive animals and the occasional bandits). There's plenty to do, such as hunting, gathering, fishing, farming, animal husbandry, tree felling, as well as building and decoration, managing villagers' jobs and statuses, and building your dynasty. What's more, they are currently in a closed beta testing multiplayer with a new map! Highly recommended!

I’m just hooked on dead cells with a smattering of rocket league.

Did start Hyper Light Drifter and looking forward to getting more into it

I've just started a new game in Dragon's Dogma Dark Arisen on my switch. Surprised at how well it's held up

[–] sporozoan@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

I played Life Is Strange for the first time.

I recently started streaming and have begun playing a few games I never played before. I think it's fun playing games I never considered with an audience, though rarely I have a viewer that isn't my best friend or my wife. Today I played Doki Doki Literature Club for the very first time, and recently tried Undertale and Humanity for the first time. I might do Hollow Knight next but I haven't started that one yet

The og Re 4 made me rage so hard that i installed Genshin impact.

Really enjoying it so far. Only other MOPG I've played yet was Guild wars 2 and I'm definitely having more fun with Genshin (you just don't have the online element as much). Very similar to BOTW, but with a more in depth combat system and pretty fun character building. Monetisation is pretty held back thus far, can definitely recommend giving it a try.

spoilerI just really wish they let me have Fischl ;_;
