I have been playing Tears of the Kingdom, but when my wife has been playing I have been switching in between Serious Sam 4 and the original Commander Keen.
Commander Keen takes a little to get used to the game feel and style, but I am actually enjoying it pretty well. You can feel a lot of what would go into id shooters. Mazelike levels with a series of key cards, but on a 2d platformer instead of a fps.
Oh man, Commander Keen! One of the first games I actually owned.
I've been playing a bit of TotK, and also recently pulled out my GB pocket and started playing my old copy of Pokemon Red.
I never owned commander keen until recently. So I would just play that shareware episode back in the day.
I got the shareware version from my cousin, it was all I played for months, got the full version for my birthday!
Can't seem to stop playing factorio, send help.
The factory must expand.
The factory must expand.
You still on vanilla, or have you started diving into Greg’s mods?
Still vanilla. I've only just started using logistic bots properly, converting the factory from centralised to modular production. I'll give mods a try sometime soon but there's so much possibility for expansion in the base game, who knows how long it'll take.
I haven't seen anyone mention fighting games yet so I guess I'm going first. Will probably grind Guilty Gear Strive this weekend, as I don't have much free time for longer gaming sessions and every set is like 3-5 minutes each at most. I'll also try to get back into Dragon Age: Origins, if time permits.
Speaking of fighting games, I'm also interested in getting Street Fighter 6, as a friend I frequently play against got it, but I just can't justify paying 60€ for a game nowadays. I have so many other games on my backlog that I'd rather wait for a sale. But I played the open beta and really liked it a lot. The game feels more fluid than 5 and the new Drive mechanic feels way better than the previous V mechanic.
I've been mainlining Zelda TotK since it came out and now I'm going to mainline SF6. I was a big fan of SFV. I'm going to have to split my time between the 2 somehow.
I feel your pain. That's also why I'm holding out on buying it now. Aside from none of my mains being in the game (yet).
Civ 5...I have a habit of not actually finishing a game, so I'm trying to push myself through a complete game.
I'm trying to decide between Dredge, Inscryption, or one of my many other games on Xbox/Steam Deck...
Damn indecision and having too many games to play :(
Currently playing Boltgun. Getting close to finishing the 2nd episode.
How do you like it? The game looks awesome from what I've seen.
It's pretty good. The weapons feel and sound great.
I've set myself a challenge to play one game for 6 months. I was jumping around games a lot and barely playing anything properly. I remember when I was younger I'd get a game for my birthday and Christmas which were 6 months apart, so I basically played one game only for half a year. Now it's too easy to just buy and download games and switch between them.
So at the moment I'm playing ESO until October. It's far from the best game ever, but the amount of content is insane. And I love Elder Scrolls.
Hades! It's such a fun and addicting game. I am trying to 100% the game, so I have made a couple hundred escape attempts with no escapes as of yet.
I've been focusing most of my game time on Persona 5 Royal. It is really great. Over the weekend I played the Quarry with my family and wrapped up Ratchet and Clank: Rift Apart.
I've been playing tears of the kingdom in small spurts and the System shock remake.
I've been playing a lot of the Medieval Madness and Han Solo tables in Pinball FX3 on my steam deck. Set up the gyro to allow me to nudge the table and it's really helping me get high scores
I just finished a Civ 5 relapse (can't get 6 to run), so I'm on the new system shock right now.
I highly recommend it. It is both very faithful and much more accessible. More than anything, it perfectly captures the feeling of playing the first game, where it seems that you're just a pest, scurrying around this huge structure trying to defeat something so far beyond you it seems like a mouse trying to kill a whale.
Cyberspace is...kinda boring though TBH. Its faithful, but...meh. I'd recommend playing at 3 combat, 2 puzzles, and 1 cyberspace for a first run.
I just bought Silica and Gunner, HEAT, PC!, which have both been pretty cool so far. Both are early access games that I wanted to support.
Silica has way more to it than I expected, and I'm excited to play more (hopefully with friends, at some point).
GHPC is sort of like single player (for now) War Thunder, with a pretty cool simulation of Cold War era tanks and ballistics while still being fairly accessible. One interesting thing it does: the tank commander will speak to you (which is where the title of the game comes from), and it will get increasingly more tense and eventually turn into panicked screams, depending on the situation.
I'm playing these on Linux, and I have a weird audio issue with GHPC. Nobody else seems to experience this, and it doesn't happen on my Steam Deck.
I am deep into the System Shock remake, and I am absolutely loving it.
I just now got into 2042, and it's basically bf4 all over again. this pleases me, so i'm playing that.
and now it won't connect to any servers, so i guess I am not, in fact, playing that
We Love Katamari
Hoping to have some time for Necesse this week! Its a bit underrated and still in early access, but sooo much fun!
I've started getting into metal gear recently so at the moment I'm playing MGSV:TPP and MGS1.
Saw someone doing a Papers Please playthrough and got the urge to replay it again. Trying to go kinda hardcore by not making any mistakes but ive already reset day 5 like 3 times haha
Firing up No Man's Sky for the first time on my M1 Mac. Looks nice. I really enjoyed Subnautica, so this promises to be good.
I've been hooked on No Man's Sky lately, it can be pretty zen just wandering around a seemingly endless galaxy just exploring. Welcome to the galaxy, Interloper!
Tears of the Kingdom, and when I get burnt out, either Persona 5 or Hitman III.
I've been playing TotK like it's my second job since day 1, and I still don't feel close to maxing out on its content. Breath of the Wild was my favorite game of all time, and somehow Tears of the Kingdom is even better.
Same here.
My 7 year old loves watching the gameplay as well. So when we need a break from this heat wave she tells me she wants to watch zelda. Been a ton of fun with her.
So when shes around it's main quest mostly. I would be ostracized if I did a temple without her.
When it's just me I work on grinding out shrines or lightroots or armor upgrades usually.
This applies to me as well. I'm very excited. AC2 was one of my first games on a disc. Regrettably, I never got to play the other games when they released. Are you planning on getting it on PC or console?
