Apologies for the late thread!
What have you all been playing? I’ve been playing a ton of elden ring to get ready for the dlc :) suuuuper excited!
Lots of eleden ring as well! Forgot how much fun this game is and I don’t like dark souls but this hits differently
Just started up ‘Oxenfree: Lost Signals’.
Loved the first game. Let’s see if the sequel can match it. 😊
Nice, I just played that a couple weeks ago. Had some friends over and we played it through in one sitting.
Well, just finished it.
And although it didn’t match the first game, it’s still a nice chill game in the same vain as the first. Same feeling and all that.
As suspected, it’s tough to attempt a continuation of the first story. They dipped a bit much into a few themes that really didn’t seem to fit very well and there’s a distinct lack of interaction with other NPCs. There’s a few random characters you talk to over the radio, but not anything that has any impact on anything.
So it’s a fine enough game if you just want a bit more of the Oxenfree flavor, but don’t expect too much from it.
I’m playing Kamaeru: A Frog Refuge and loving it. Cute frogs, beautiful art style, chill gameplay. Just a really nice way to wind down at the end of the day (and also at the end of a very intense academic year.)
I’m also playing Ori and the Blind Forest when I have the energy. I’d never played this before, but picked it up on sale a few months back, and I’m finding it very challenging even on the easiest difficulty. Visually beautiful though.
Ended up starting a new playthrough of The Outer Worlds.
Mostly enjoying it and having Parvati with me again feels great.
Picked up 30XX last night and have been going through it. Very fun so far but the end boss is just a bunch of bullllllshitta.
SpiderHeck because I can never fully put it down.
Finally finished the full Red Dead Redemption 2 story. (After putting 450 hours into Red Dead Online and starting the single player over a year ago lol).
City of Heroes is always in the rotation. Can’t stop won’t stop (unless they shut it down again).Working on finishing my second playthrough of Mass Effect: Andromeda that I started two years ago.
Walkscape! It’s like playing runescape but instead of sitting in front of a monitor for hours you walk around
I spent the afternoon walking to the mountain and am mining copper ore as I do chores, tomorrow I’ll smelt them and make some upgraded tools!
Just finished Dave the Diver and today my spouse gave me Synergy. The game is so pretty and chill.
A lot of stardww valley. Been loving it
Still blasting through World of Warcraft Remix mode, but it’s slowly losing its grip on me. Playing my main, a druid, is still super fun, since everything just explodes in seconds, but my two alts are kind of boring in comparison. Buying all the cosmetics should take me another week, so after that I might focus more on gearing my other chars. I really hope Blizzard adds something to make gearing alts easier, since I’d really like to give other classes a shot, but I’m not interested in slogging through the slow-ish gearing process for all of them.
I’ve also started playing Diablo 4 again, leveling a Necromancer in season 4. Currently, I’m using a minion build, but it’s pretty boring, since you don’t really do much.
Been marathoning the Assassin’s Creed series. Not even with the announcement of the new game in mind, just happened to work out that way
Side note: these aren’t very mod friendly, even on windows, but it was such a pain in the ass to get them to work on Linux
Horizon: Forbidden West
I think the combat in this series is my favorite of any action RPG. The various weapons, damage types and abilities give you a wide range of options, and the ability to knock pieces off the enemies makes your attacks feel meaningful. They’re not just a health pool to widdle down.
The 2nd game didn’t originally pull me in, but I just witnessed a story beat 10-15h in that has me intrigued.
Jumped back into Octopath traveler. After a bit of a hiatus.
