I had a magical moment yesterday, looking at the Steam Sale and tempted to buy Dying Light: The Beast, and it hit me that I have the original Dying Light in my backlog.
Eight hours later, it’s safe to say I really like this game, and spending zero dollars is pretty nice too.
What’s everyone else playing?
I’m playing lost records bloom and rage, and it’s a lot of fun, I love the stand by me vibe and it’s really well put out.
Dying Light 1 is one of my favorite games. Enjoy it!
Dying Light plus its dlc THE FOLLOWING are a ton of fun. The dlc is completely different from the main game e.g countryside / driving and a decent length So worth checking if you haven’t given it a spin.
Nethack. Been playing for 30 years and still never ascended. This time I’m fully kitted out and I’ll be damned if I don’t get a win!
I’m pulling for you over here! I never made it past the fortress right after Medusa.
Imagine my great sorrow when I discovered that turning Perseus back to a man didn’t make him tame! 🥺
Hahaha! First run ever that I got a wand of wishing and genuinely have nothing more I need, so I wished for a blessed figurine of an Archon and applied it, and he spawned with Demonbane and just mows down monsters like it’s nobody’s business. :)
“What do you get for the guy that has everything?” 😂
Mr. “Platinum Yendorian Express” over here!
Hahahaha!
i finally beat DCSS once, after playing it constantly for a year
I adore Nethack; there is so much to discover! Although, most of it is stuff that kills you. My first ascension was with the very reliable human Valkyrie.
Yeah it’s ridiculously deep. Like I said, I played it for 30 years and I still learn new stuff all the time when I read the wiki or watch videos, like “damn! Had no clue, that is pretty smart, what a bizarre mechanism but it’s perfectly logical when you think about it” hahaha!
Monster Hunter World has been loads of fun the last couple of days <3
Despite the very standard protagonist, Dying Light was a real treat.
My Christmas game this year has been Jusant. Just got to the last chapter and it’s been the perfect vibe.
Against the Storm. Its a roguelike colony builder where you’re trying to establish colonies and ship resources back to the queen before she loses patience with you.
Its not so roguelike that bad rolls ruin a run but also you have to deal with a bunch of fantasy races who each have their own needs.
Its pretty good.
Ghost of Yotei. I’m not far in but it’s very good so far if you like Ghost of Tsushima.
Dying light is number two on my list. I am replaying factorio then I will play factorio space and then Dying light.
How is the dying light campaign?
Good so far. I’m doing a lot of the side quests, but the prologue was good without being unduly difficult, and did force me to think a little creatively.
Awesome, thanks.
Unless it’s Larian, it’s backlog or maybe an expansion. I haven’t even purchased the new Civ, and I’ve been playing that one since III.
I think 3 was the last one I played too. Amazing game, but they feel like Madden or Dynasty Warriors to me. There just isn’t enough difference between the various entries to make it interesting for me, so I never bought any of the newer ones.
What put me off was them needing me to install a launcher and be online to waste my life playing that game for days. I’m the type to read all the fine print, and I found their ToS to be particularly awful surrounding that launcher.
I haven’t even given them a passing glance since way back then. Have they backed off of those artificial requirements these days or do they still not want my money?
Yup, the launcher is now optional and there’s an offline mode. My biggest annoyance was that, when I launched it the first time, it played an ad for the new DL game featuring the main voice actor.
I wouldn’t be playing it otherwise. They added a Dark Souls-esque invasion mode where you can jump into other people’s games as a zombie, and I HATE that mechanic. I am very much a single player, “jump in when I feel like it” type, and don’t want to have to depend on online play or coop to succeed.
On the $0 trend, I restarted Just Cause 3 as I’m generally in a bad mood these days. Very satisfying 😌
There is a rumor that Dying Light 2 will be given away by Epic in the next week or so. They are giving away a different game every day right now.
Started playing Amnesia: rebirth.
Kept me hooked for way longer than I planned for the day.
Guild Wars Reforged, Sniper Ghost Warrior Contracts 2, Trine 5 and Neptunia Game Maker R:Evolution(on the deck). I find it hard focusing on a single game.
Enshrouded - it’s an action RPG/survival crafter/base builder that’s quite addictive. I’m surprised that it’s not more well known, because it’s incredibly fun. :)
I REALLY like Enshrouded. Played about eight hours of it over the last two weeks, but liked it so much I’ve decided to put it down until full release.
Even though it’s early release, there is a TON of content already. It’s well worth buying now. I’ve got 600+ hours into the game (a lot of which was building sweet bases and had nothing to do with the quests, but yeah…), myself.
That’s good to know. I built my first structure the other day: a log cabin. The roof is butt ugly, but I’m proud of it.
I’ve been playing Metroid Prime 4. It’s ok, only more of what I expected, nothing incredible like Dread was for me. You can definitely feel how it’s cobbled together after being in development hell.
I finally picked up Dave the Diver on sale, looking forward to digging into that soon.
