A bit of Oxenfree II. It's good so far. Their previous game Afterparty was a pretty limp experience IMO, but they've won me back. It's been a weirdly nostalgic time and the writing is solid. It leans on much of the lore of the first title, which means the mystery isn't so interesting this time around. But we'll see how it goes, it might surprise me.
Started playing through Far Cry 6 w a friend
Well, originally my plans were to check out the newly launched Season 1 of Diablo 4, but the news on that has been very... whelming to say the least. I haven't crossed it off the list yet, but it surely won't have any sort of priority for me.
I'll probably be trying to spend a little bit of time in Destiny 2 for the Solstice event, but that also depends - past versions of it were incredibly grindy and I'm already a bit burnt out on D2.
Other than that, I've been having fun kicking back and playing the American and Euro Truck sim games, while listening to a podcast or having a TV show playing on the second screen. No time limited events, no pressure, and how much "grinding" I want is completely up to me. It's a quite nice change of pace from the live-service model of recent games.
Elden Ring. Vyke's War Spear and Madness only run. You can get the spear without a single fight.
Flip-flopping between Minecraft Bedrock and Techtonia. The latter just came out and i'm struggling my way through it
Test
I just bought a wheel and shifter, so I've just been cruising around in Forza.
Mainly trying to get used to it because it's not the same as driving irl.
I just finished The Dungeon of Naheulbeuk: The Amulet of Chaos. It was fun. Nothing groundbreaking, but an entertaining turn-based party-based rpg, with an emphasis on tongue-in-cheek humor. I recommend it if you like that sort of thing.
Finally picked up God of War last week on sale, so I've started that now for the first time. Liking it so far after just around 2-1/2 hours, and looking forward to seeing how it unfolds.
Picked up a copy of battlebit 2 weeks ago. Managed to get maybe one hour in so far.
I’ve been playing Helldivers. Local 2 player co-op with an additional +2 online. Arrowhead, if you can hear me, please let the sequel have this as well. The multiplayer/co-op is what has given this game its longevity. It’s so much fun plain and simple!
Finally a bit of Counter-Strike 2. Almost felt guilty for not being able to play much despite getting the coveted beta invite.
Cyberpunk 2077. I think I'm close to the end, finishing the side quests that have any substance to them and then the main story and I want more.
Between all the bugs, the glitching and the crashing, I should have been sick of it by now, but there's something about this setting and story that is just so gripping.
Can't stop thinking about what could have been if it lived up at least partially to the expectations.
Street Fighter 6! Looking forward to Remnant 2 though. The first was a sleeper hit with me.
Just started Dave the Diver, about 15 hours in. It has a fair bit of content and the "mini games" don't feel too out of place.
Also felt the itch to spin up a new minecraft mod pack instance, so I started feed the factory, a mod pack inspired by factorio. Encourages you to build big systems in bulk with rows and rows of massive machines. Very satisfying. I also hate dealing with mobs, and the mod pack is basically in peaceful mode, focusing primarily on building, so it's right up my alley.
Currently Dave The Diver. Vampire Survivors here and there when I need a quick fix. And Two Dots on the mobile phone. Been playing it for two days, which makes it pretty good.
I just beat aliens: dark descent. I thought it was pretty descent overall. Its kind of a real time strategy with slowmo or pause. It feels a lot like xcom but not turn based and honestly just less tactical overall as you can't issue individual commands, only commands to the whole squad. With that being my main criticism, I still enjoyed it as it did the Aliens feel pretty good, although parts of the plot were pretty silly. 7/10.
Phantasy Star online 2: New Genesis
Waiting for Remnant 2 July 25 and Wayfinder August 15
A bunch of ocarina of time randomizer and World of Warcraft.
Testing out the new WoW talent system and likely will swap back to private servers while I wait for one called Project Epoch. That and Skyrim on switch or Among Us if my kids make me play with them.
Diablo IV new season has started! I'm only few hours in but it's quite fun so far. Lots of people so live events are much more full. Weirdly enough the servers seem to be more stable too. I still hadn't had much luck with the new gimmick of putting hearts into your rings but it seems fun. The battlepass is quite interesting too. The season 0 lacked direction I feel unless you we're really hard core - now it's more approachable for casual market.
The Outer Worlds came up on humblebundle choice this much and I've just reached the second zone in the game and honestly it's awesome. People were reviewing that it's quite shallow and underdeveloped but I kinda like smaller feel. The story and production is entertaining - it feels like Fallout but more wackey. Some parts do feel like it could use more "RPG" though. Like the first big choice of the game didn't feel that impactful.
Just started Phoenix Point today. Really itching for some fresh XCOM and I don't want to play too much Xenonauts 2 before full release.
Hogwarts Legacy for PC. It’s a blast. There’s so much to do and explore. I’ve logged twenty hours and I’m not even halfway through the main storyline.
Wife and I have been working our way through Sons Of The Forest while we wait for Baldurs Gate, I'm hoping to get some time to myself soon so I can keep playing Metal Gear V
