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...
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.
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.
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 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
Ghost trick
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.
Just wrapped up getting gold on every license in GT7 last night. Looking at the rest of the trophies and aiming for my first platinum.
Have put a fair few hours into Space Haven, but think I may have reached the end of the playable content I enjoy for now. Maybe I need to do a pirate run…
Bloodeborne and TOTK
Amazing combination.
I have to start another play through of Bloodborne.
Playing The Fractured But Whole for almost a month now, it's a pretty enjoyable experience and it feels just like playing an episode of the show, liking it a lot so far.
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.
Currently trying to get through FFXVI, but there are times it feels like a slog. Am in the midst of one if these low points right now.
As for what I’ll be playing, my StepmaniaX compact machine shows up tomorrow, so I’ll have that to assemble and play.
OrnaRPG, TotK and D4
WOW: WOTLK
Started playing Hardspace Shipbreaker because the concept seemed interesting. And Holy moly this is just so satisfying to play. I guess now I know why people play other work simulators
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.
