That free giveaway Desolate co-op. It's like STALKER-lite mixed with Generation Zero.

A neat little early access open world action RPG called The Bloodline.

Starfield a bit, working on getting a Voyager III.

Vampire Survivors when I just want something simple to play.

Donkey Kong Tropical Freeze on Switch.

I continue to feed my X4 addiction. Picked up the DLC during the Thanksgiving sale. I'm on my second play, about 35 hours in. Realized I've made a lot of mistakes, but that's half the fun.

Recently decided to give 'Oxygen not included' a try. Still learning the ropes on getting basics sorted out and what is the best path for research.

I've been playing Marvel Midnight Suns since buying it during a sale and man I cannot believe I missed this game around release, it's incredible!

I'm not very familiar with marvel outside of the older cartoons and some of the MCU, so I find myself very surprised to find myself really enjoying the non-avengers cast here.

I had never even heard of Magik before this game, and I didn't know Blade was marvel. Also I love this version of ghost rider. The skull helmet is badass.

In any case I'm shocked at how well the cross between XCOM and a deck builder plays, every character feels distinct from each other while the decks can be customized to lean into different parts of their kit. (Except for Deadpool. I can't seem to make his kit work very well )

The story is pretty meh though I love hanging out with the large cast between missions. It can feel pretty disjointed though, especially with the dlc missions sprinkled in.

Good old modded Terraria once again. Thorium + Overhaul + Eternity mode with a friend is pretty fun. Turns out Thorium's sword sheaths are fucking cracked with Overhaul's sword changes. I one-shot several bosses and had to stop using them lol.

My other friends started playing RLCraft recently, which has got me in the mood to play a hardcore Minecraft modpack. Unfortunately, I'm having trouble finding any that aren't either complete BS (my issue with RLCraft) or feel incredibly unfinished (like RotN, where over half the guide book entities are placeholder text and the wiki link on the main page leads to a dead wiki).

Between Breathedge and call of juarez: gunslinger at the moment

I just started Fire Emblem: Three Houses, my first Fire Emblem game. Bit confusing to me, but so far very fun.

I wanted to play Star Wars Rebellion, but my copy is doing a thing where all the icons in-game are upside down. Apparently it’s a known issue running the game on newer OS (How? WHY?!) but until it’s fixed I can’t really play.

I’ve been playing Call Of Duty 2 as part of taking notes about the roots of the series. Not sure if there’s enough meat for a proper essay but I will see.

I really can’t wait for Christmas break to immerse myself in something. Maybe Deus Ex.

Kinda in between games, I'm currently playing genshin/star rail as fillers while I decide on something better to play. Occasionally I play pandemic legacy season 0 on tabletop simulator and it's a blast! Always love some pandemic legacy

Just finished Signalis, got the "Promise" ending. Feel pretty empty after that, it's such a good game and is further proof that games don't have to have incredible graphical fidelity or huge teams to be fantastic and look great.

I started playing Zero Sievert again and have been thoroughly re-addicted.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Damn. this look like lots of fun! Going to add to my wish list for now.

I like how the moment-to-moment is still strategic and tense, but its not as brutal as something like tarkov. (By default when you die, you keep what you went in with)

I just finished Yakuza 3. I have loved 0, 1, and 2. 3 was tough simply due to the lack of music cues. There is so much time spent listening to "ambient_beach.mp3" or "bustling_small_city.ogg" that it was getting tedious. The story is great and it shows off a side of Kiryu that hadn't been developed and was great fun to see. The gameplay was so-so. Stiff and of the era. I'm currently taking a short break before I dig into Y4. I'm really excited to get up to LaD and that game style, but I am enjoying the story to get there.

Trying Sea of Thieves for the first time. Been interesting.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 10 months ago

Death Must Die and Roboquest.

I tried to get GTA V to work in VR with the Real mod but it looks like Take 2 has patched it out and threatened to sue the modder if they continue to update it.

I don't understand why they would do this. They don't want players revisiting the game again to play in VR? Would that be bad for business or something? I seriously don't get it.

Bg3 and The Finals, depending on my mood.

Bg3 is great, super happy that they fixed some of the worst bugs in the last patch (like being shot at by enemies through the floor when you are on the 2nd floor of a building).

The Finals definitely needs some balancing changes made, but I'm still enjoying it. Excited to see how the game grows, it will probably replace Apex Legends for me if they keep fixing it.
