Finally found time to get into Read Dead Redemption 2 and I must say it's pretty great. Game releases in the past decade have been a conveyor belt of garbage but this one is the exception.

I've been really enjoying Halls of Torment, it's like if Vampire Survivors and Hades had a child.

Darktide.

It's bad and I should feel bad for playing it, but once you get past the absurdly long load times, janky cutscenes, regular crashes and absolute lack of any story or plotline, it's got remarkably addictive gameplay, and it's the only game that actively encourages your inner fanatic to pick up their boltgun and chainsword and KILL THE HERETICS.

It's like finding a kilo of PCP laced weed at the bottom of the dumpster behind the 7-11. I shouldn't like it, and it will probably kill me, but for some reason I can't stop smoking it.

I'm off the bike for a few weeks with a right arm radial head fracture after I biffed it hitting a pothole while checking my map, so I'm using it as an excuse to play the Tale Of Two Wastelands mod for Fallout 3 and New Vegas. Trying to see how much of both games I can get through before I'm cleared to bike again.

Jagged Alliance 3. New game from Haemimont (Tropico/Surviving Mars). It's way different than those other two games, but I'm enjoying it so far.

[–] eudoxus@lemm.ee 4 points 1 year ago

Good old Sid Meier's Civilization - Beyond Earth. I really love this game for it's slow pace and depth.

[–] CutestRegret@ttrpg.network 4 points 1 year ago

I have been absolutely loving Dave The Diver, it is super cute.

Star Wars Jedi Survivor, similar to old one but you know, it feels good being a Jedi🔥

Hunt: Showdown!

Exploring the Bayou in my holidays. Enjoying to play in different day- & weather type and it looks nice.

[–] Norithos@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

Project Diablo 2 :)

[–] Jakeroxs@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Started Remnant with a few friends, we played about 4 hours and are all dark souls/elden ring vets and were having a really rough go at it... Turns out I forgot I had set the difficulty to apocalypse (the hardest difficulty)...

Obduction. By Cyan, the studio that made he Myst series. It's an adventure game with intricate puzzles, and it's been blowing my mind for the last few days.

[–] Skellymax@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

Bouncing between Xenoblade 2, WoW classic, BotW, and Gregtech. I have little time on weekdays- only an hour or two to screw around before work.

Master Detective Archives: Rain Code

The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom

Bio Prototype

Just beat tears of the kingdom. I think if totk had been released instead of botw it probably would've been one of the best games ever made... But with it being a follow up to botw it just felt way too similar for me to enjoy it. I essentially 100%ed botw so had no desire to just redo it again in totk. Basically just ran through the main story, did whatever side quests were easy, then fought Ganon. In a vacuum it was still a great game but I was sad it was so similar to botw.

Now playing the system shock remake. I beat 2 for the first time a few years ago and loved prey so have been excited to start it. Enjoying it so far for sure.

[–] avater@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

as always Guild Wars 2...

[–] ramsgrl909@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

Not playing yet, but I am SO excited for Remnant 2. It's one of the few 3rd person shooter games that I stuck with.

[–] bigbrotherboot@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

I’ve been heavily into iRacing lately. Just upgraded my rig and pedals! When I’m not playing that, I have a Madden franchise with my friends that’s been going for like 20 years in game and that’s been a lot of fun.

Other than that, dipping my toes back into Civ, and trying unsuccessfully to convince my friends to try Barotrauma again…

[–] mint_tamas@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Picked up Hades again after Hades 2 was announced. It’s still fantastic. Can’t wait for the sequel.

Apex Legends: Been playing since Season 0 with my SO and brother and I think it's honestly the longest I've ever played a single game. The gunplay just feels so good.

Tears of the Kingdom: Still working my way through it, taking my time exploring. Honestly it's such a great game, but I have to say the resource gathering is getting a little tedious. I like the weapon durability mechanic from the angle of being forced to switch up your fighting style, but I wish there was a way to repair weapons between fights.

[–] Girru00@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago (2 children)

No mans sky. Had it for a while, time to explore planets.

This week I've used the Game Pass availability as an excuse to play through Grand Theft Auto V (and to be reminded of all the reasons I dropped it in the first place). I've also played through The Case of the Golden Idol, which is too goddamn short; I need more puzzles. I've only got one DLC puzzle left and I am going to take it slow and savour it. I'm also a decent way into TOEM and have started on Techtonica because, you know, Game Pass.

[–] slazer2au@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

According to Steam Fallout 4, Big Ambitions and Factorio.

[–] Lmaydev@programming.dev 3 points 1 year ago

Always playing Kenshi. Just can't put it down.

Also just reinstalled Seven Kingdoms AA for the 100th time. Still one of my favourite games.

[–] P3D7O@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

Like 3 months ago I bought Mi first dedicated graphics card: an used rx570 and, after many years on my list, I grab Black Mesa in discount like 2 weeks ago.. That and doom 2016 are the games I'm into right now...

[–] Kaleunt17@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

BattleBit and Fifa23

[–] Lenny@lemmy.zip 3 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Didn’t play the first one, but I’m hyped for Remnant 2.

Discovered Remnant 2 last week 😃

It’s not out until the 25th 😕

Early access is available the 21st 🙌🏻

Realizing I’m out out town 20th-23rd 💀
