A lot is happening today with the community migration today, so I will keep this brief:

I beat Tchia. It's wonderful, but has it's flaws, mainly combat. I think it deserved the scores it received, and I can't say enough how much I loved it. If you even remotely are drawn to it, I would highly recommend giving it a play through.

I am about halfway through Uncharted: Lost Legacy and it is really bringing back those Uncharted 4 vibes I wanted it to. Really loving the relationship between Chloe and Nadine and I also find myself marveling at the graphical details.

What are you playing? Let us know below!

Making my way through FF16. According to the PS5 dashboard completion percentage I'm at about 70% complete right now. So I might be able to finish over the weekend, but having a six-year-old at home might make that harder to accomplish.

Either way, I'm really enjoying it despite it being absolutely archaic in terms of its actual game design. It's really carried by its presentation, soundtrack, and decent story. They've arguably stripped away too much of what typically defines a Final Fantasy game here, but I'm still having a great time by just choosing to appreciate what it does do well.

The dashboard says I'm at about 55% and I don't believe it haha. Feel like I've barely got into it!

Beat Saber. It's a fun workout. Trying to play almost every track I have, both base and DLC.

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

That's a lot of songs! You'll have to play a Jedi game next I bet

[–] Flaky@iusearchlinux.fyi 2 points 1 year ago

I actually do have Fallen Order, still gotta complete that. My gaming sessions come in waves lol. I recently finished the main story of Watch Dogs Legion on PC so I should go and complete Fallen Order's.

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

I'm about 15 hours into octopath traveler 2. its been a long time since i've played a JRPG like this one. the story and design are great so far. Getting a little bored with the grindiness of dungeons but that's the nature of things in this type of game. The amount of choices you can make as any character with their battles at any time is mind boggling, which makes boss fights really strategic but a regular fight against grunts can be tedious.

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

Final Fantasy 16! Trying to savor it as it feels like an event that only comes once a decade now.

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

I'm just loving the epic-ness of the boss fights. Not sure how far through I am, but will be sad when it's over

[–] Spin@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

The best part is the almost every boss feels like the last boss of the game and somehow the next boss is always more epic than the one before it. Really a great game. I wish it had a bit more fan service for those who grew up playing NES and SNES fantasy games but it is still an amazing game. Best RPG for me since tails of arise.

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

Finishing up FF16. I’m on mission 44 of 49 but they throw 10+ side missions at you in between each main mission so it’s probably going to be a while before I wrap everything up.

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

Yeah, I've heard about that being an issue for others. Do you have to beat them to progress? Or you just going for the 100%?

[–] Ibex@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago (7 children)

You don’t have to beat them but you can miss equipment etc. The side missions are so hit or miss that you can do one that’s multi-tier and longer than a main mission and just get material or something that could have been bought from a vendor for 100 Gil. Then sometimes the side mission could be 10 minutes long and you’ll get a special weapon or equipment that’s more powerful than what you have and can get for about 10 main missions later.

I started playing Alan Wake and so far it's interesting and it looks pretty good. I've had my eye on Exoprimal. Might wait for a sale tho $60 seems a little steep for a multiplayer.

[–] palindrome@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

Also playing Alan Wake! Better than I remember

[–] jongosi@feddit.nl 1 points 1 year ago (2 children)

I wanted to play that one as well, but saw Odyssey on sale so started with that yesterday. Will save Valhalla for later this year.

[–] svensol@kbin.social 2 points 1 year ago

I started that too…. But then I started with this. I’ll be going back to that though once I’ve finished this.

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

Two such huge AC games in one year? I don't think I can do that. 😀

[–] jongosi@feddit.nl 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Haha, maybe I'm being overambitious! I'll definitely will pick up Valhalla around the Black Friday sales period and at least start playing it this year 😁

[–] slimerancher@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

Haha, sounds good, good luck!

Jedi Survivor. It’s buggy and glitchy and not a world beater game but I can wield a lightsaber. A woman of simple pleasures.

I am still waiting on performance improvements before I pick this up. I loved FO!

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

Just downloaded Dysmantle, as I heard good things about it, looking forward to trying it out over the weekend.

So I have Diablo 4 and FFXVI with about 20 hours each…

And here I am playing the FFX/X-2 remaster for the nostalgia. I’m probably gonna return to FFXVI sooner but man the mid-game death of my favorite character made me take a pause.

[–] morganth@discuss.tchncs.de 2 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

More Diablo IV, with my wife. We don’t really understand the “hearts” system in the new season—we know how to get and use them, but there doesn’t seem to be any way to upgrade them or get anything other than the same few over and over again. But we’ll figure it out. (It’s my first time playing a Diablo game online, and I am highly resistant to looking this sort of thing up.)

[–] Blackmist@feddit.uk 2 points 1 year ago (2 children)

I'll try to finish Death Stranding.

A whole weekend might get me through two, maybe even three cutscenes.

Snowrunner, just like I've been doing for nearly two years now.

[–] barter@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

Is it that replayable?

Hi! I'm currently on my second playthrough of The Last of Us: Part 2. The first time around, the PS5 patch was released a week after I completed the game, so now I'm enjoying the 60FPS upgrade. I have a stack of games to get through and as a parent, my time is limited. I have Death Stranding, Skywalker Saga, Cyberpunk 2077 and probably a few more I'm forgetting. :-)

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

As a parent myself, I wont even post my backlog here. It's soooo long

[–] UKFilmNerd@feddit.uk 1 points 1 year ago

I don't normally play games through twice but after the excellent HBO adaptation, I wanted to play the games again. So it was my third time on the original game using the PS4 remastered version for the second time and the second time with the PS5.

I never played both games one after the other like this, so now the storyline makes more sense and I'm enjoying it a lot more than the first time. I have such a bad memory.

[–] NerdyBossSauce@lemm.ee 1 points 1 year ago

Just got the console a couple of weeks ago from the wife for my birthday.. working through my first game.. God of War Ragnarok that was bundled in.

Enjoying it but definitely don’t have the twitchy button mashing sequences down.. Guessing being an old fart doesn’t help..

Picked up a few other titles to play over time while they were on sale during the prime day sales.. Spider-Man and Miles.. Cyberpunk.. Horizon Zero

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

A bit of Battlefield 1 the best online shooter I've had the pleasure to experience and South Park The Fractured But Whole a pretty fun RPG that feels just like you're playing an episode from the show.

The Witcher 3 mostly. And a bit of Street Fighter. Maybe some Rocket League.

[–] UKFilmNerd@feddit.uk 1 points 1 year ago

I got totally swept up in the hype for the original back in the Xbox360 days. I've started playing this new remaster and it feels a bit janky to me. It's like they've upped the resolution and textures and done nothing else.
