Play it ASAP, it's great.

[–] LittleTarsier@lemmy.ca 3 points 6 days 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.

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.

[–] Coskii@lemmy.blahaj.zone 8 points 6 days ago

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.

[–] drmoodmood@lemmy.ml 5 points 5 days 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.

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.

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 2 points 4 days 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.

[–] dillekant@slrpnk.net 3 points 3 days ago

I keep mine in an ever growing wishlist, which I never get back to, but it stops me from feeling like I forgot anything.

[–] thisisbutaname@discuss.tchncs.de 8 points 6 days ago (2 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.

[–] kelvie@lemmy.ca 2 points 5 days ago (1 children)

I mean it runs on a steam deck -- what's holding you back? Or do you just want to run it with better settings?

No, I mean it won't run at all.

My machine is a laptop with a nvida 960m for a GPU. Game wouldn't even start.

[–] eezeebee@lemmy.ca 2 points 6 days ago

I feel this. I've been playing it on medium-ish settings to compensate. It will be a blast when you do play!

[–] Megaman_EXE@beehaw.org 4 points 6 days 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 4 days 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 1 points 32 minutes 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

Hades Baldur's Gate 3 Witcher 3 Dark Souls 3 Elden Ring Path of Exile II Zelda Breath of the Wild (Switch II?) Z BotW II

[–] gazter@aussie.zone 7 points 6 days ago (1 children)

Better take a year off, mate.

[–] dino@discuss.tchncs.de 2 points 6 days ago

Are you paying? :P But yeah I know I am a terrible person. But the good thing, this way I don't play mediocre or above average games. :D Although I spent way too much game on "multiplayer" games like Deadlock atm.

[–] match@pawb.social 6 points 6 days ago (1 children)

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.

[–] Kissaki@beehaw.org 3 points 6 days ago

Half Life Alyx

[–] AceFuzzLord@lemm.ee 4 points 6 days 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.

[–] HarvesterOfEyes@piefed.social 4 points 6 days ago

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 6 days ago (2 children)

Horizon Zero Dawn, Planet of Lana

[–] ninjaphysics@beehaw.org 3 points 6 days 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.

[–] SharkAttak@kbin.melroy.org 1 points 5 days ago

Get it on GOG, to avoid things like the recent shenanigans.

[–] LittleTarsier@lemmy.ca 3 points 6 days ago

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

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 week ago (1 children)

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

[–] Kolanaki@yiffit.net 2 points 6 days ago

I think I also have that because It Takes Two came in a bundle with it.

[–] MutatedBass@beehaw.org 2 points 6 days ago

Hope you find someone. I played it with my wife, and didn't expect too much, but it was actually one of the better games I've played. Truly fantastic level and puzzle design.

Mass Effect Legendary Edition.

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

[–] FeelzGoodMan420@eviltoast.org 7 points 6 days ago* (last edited 6 days 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.

Gotta finally make it through The Witcher 1 first and then play The Witcher 2. The first game in the series is so rough around the edges (even after many patches) that this is easier said than done. I hate jumping into the middle of a game series due to the fear of missing out on references and character backstories, which is why I'm torturing myself like this.

[–] teawrecks@sopuli.xyz 7 points 6 days ago

I highly recommend skipping straight to witcher 3 unless you really love the series and want to consume everything it has. Still, 3 + the dlc has a lot.

TBH my favorite part of W3 was all the side quests. The writing and dialogue are intriguing and give you more of a flavor for the dark fantasy of the world.

[–] TehPers@beehaw.org 4 points 6 days ago

Fortunately, if you need character backstories and such, you could instead read the books or watch the TV series instead. I jumped straight into Witcher 3 and had no issues with missing background knowledge.

That's not to say you shouldn't play 1 or 2 though, just that there are other options.
