After a few years of mostly playing strategy & tactical games, I fired up Minecraft this weekend. I’d never really given it a proper try before, but it’s been refreshing and relaxing. I started on survivor mode but found the enemies kind of annoying, so I switched to peaceful survivor mode and that’s been fun so far. Just enjoying the “wander around and build stuff” atmosphere. Honestly makes me want to play more sandbox-y games after a while of mostly playing more intense stuff.
You might like Satisfactory. They added a peaceful mode recently and the game is heckin’ beautiful after the last update. Sometimes I’ll just stop playing the game and look at things now.
Going to jump on the Battlebit bandwagon for $15.
Final Fantasy XIV. As a decade+ WoW player, its really nice to find such a nice player base. I’m just hitting level 54 ( so between the base game A Realm Reborn and on my way into the first expansion ) and I’ve experience absolutely 0 toxicity.
I’m loving Diablo 4 so I’ve been grinding that out, currently on World Tier 3 with my sorcerer and having a blast. Also playing Destiny 2 at the weekly reset for the new story updates.
This guy grinds
Nice! I was going to do something else tonight, but you reminded me I need to give Diablo 4 a try.
Finally getting around to Outer Wilds, and it’s fantastic. Truly one of the better single player experiences I’ve ever played.
Tears of the Kingdom, No Man’s Sky, Dredge, and God of War Ragnarok
Moonligther, I saw it in the gamepass and it looked like a chill game. Right now it’s super cheap on steam so I decided to buy it.
Just finished up the System Shock remake. Been struggling to find a game to captivate me, but this one surely did the trick. Pretty week ending though… just like the original, hah.
Would love to see Ultima Underworld 1/2 get the same treatment.
- Diablo 4 until I finish the campaign
- Coffeetalk 2 when I’m too tired to concentrate on fighting.
Currently have Cult of the Lamb on hold, and I also need to get back into No Man’s Sky and check out the new content.
Also salivating over Starfield videos 😁
I’m trying really hard not to get too hyped for Starfield, what with the way games seem to release these days…but damn it looks like the SciFi game I’ve always wished I could play!
Cult of the Lamb is great too.
Same. Normally I go into huge games with lots of player agency with a walkthrough sitting next to me because I want the ‘perfect ending’. I think with this one I’m just going to get lost in it and whatever happens happens. It looks so good.
After seeing the headlines about “Starfield will be the least buggy Bethesda game ever at launch” I’m fully prepared for a janky mess. That being said I will forgive a lot of gameplay issues if it has a good story.
I played Cult of the Lamb when it first came out, but found the cult system itself to be a bit too easy to be satisfying. The combat roguelike bit was alright tho. I also need to hit that NMS expedition before it vanishes.
I’ve started playing Deep Rock Galactic, and I’ve been loving it, even just playing a few solo missions to get a feel for it. I’m going to try to get my wife into it, since we’ve been looking for some more games to play together.
Outside of that, I’ve been playing Tears of The Kingdom and that’s been fantastic. Great follow up to one of my favorite games. And then mixing in some Overwatch as well which, despite its problems, is still pretty fun to play with some friends.
Deep Rock Galactic is such a gem that I can always come back to! I hope you two have a lotta fun with it. There’s a lot of cool stuff going on right now, with the lithophage outbreak, and a couple really tough enemies.
Going through World Tour mode in Street Fighter 6 plus a little local play, and Tears of the Kingdom. It’s a good time to be a g4m3r
Little bit of Darktide. If you haven’t tried it since the rocky start, it’s not a bad time to get into it again. A lot of the content feels a lot more tight and there is more forgiving mechanics to get good gear. Other than that, more Warframe as the new update gets closer. Also a good time to hop in as well
If you’ve played Vermintide 2, is Darktide as good as it? I’ve been wanting to dip into the 40k setting but I’ve heard the game got a meh reaction so far
Honestly I don’t think so. It’s a more ranged-based version, and the aesthetic is extremely well done but I’d hesitate to say that it would give the same complete feel that Vermentide currently has. Then again, V2 has been out and developed for a longer period, so Darktide might get there with more time.
Thanks, perhaps I’ll give it some more time to finish cooking before I grab it lol. It sounds like it could scratch that itch that Left 4 Dead satisfied and Back 4 Blood couldn’t quite give me
It definitely scratches that itch for me, but totally check in every now and then to content creators to see how it looks and feels. It’s changed a lot over the past few months so here hoping it keeps growing
Been replaying Into The Breach. One of the best turn based tactic games there is out there.
I played Into the Breach to death on release. I even got all the mechs and achievements. Just looked at it again and it got a free Advanced Edition update?! Holy shit, brb playing the game a 3rd time!
You mean the big expansion pack they released a while back? It was incredible, the devs just dropped it one day out of the blue, all for free, nobody had asked for it but everyone was amazed by it.
Same thing I play every week. Coral Island and RCT3.
Coral Island is in Steam Early Access and is as yet unfinished, but is making steady progress and the devs are doing great at keeping everyone up to date on progress. Coral Island is frequently compared to Stardew Valley. Frankly, I don’t enjoy SDV. I’ve tried and tried and it just doesn’t do it for me. Coral Island is everything I was hoping SDV would be. It’s game play is similar, but I find the whole thing much more enjoyable.
I’ve been playing RCT3 off and on since I first bought it on CD a million years ago.
I have been really into Stellaris lately, The new patch did breathe some fresh air into the game for me.
I’m right there with you, to a borderline unhealthy degree. I heard the advisor for my current empire in a dream the other day.
Priority alert: maybe it’s time to take a break commander.
I don’t think that’s borderline anymore…
