A new week and a new thread.
What are you all playing!
I’m surprised nobody else is playing Remnant 2. It just came out and it’s pretty damn fun.
They called the original “Dark Souls with guns” and it’s definitely that sort of game in the sequel. But it’s not as punishing as a typical souls-like since there’s no death penalty. It’s perfect for my preferences since I hate the “losing all your money when you die” thing in Elden Ring.
Apparently it’s very fun in co-op but I have been playing solo so I can’t speak to that.
At only $50, it’s a pretty solid recommendation from me if “dark souls with guns” piques your curiosity even a little. AA title with no jank and I’ve only seen a single bug so far in my playing on XSX.
I was just watching a couple friends of mine stream Remnant 2 earlier and it does look pretty slick. It seems there is at least one puzzle that requires co-op to fully solve, and there may be more further in just so you and others are aware.
No oxygen included. Finally might make it to a point where I discover a new machine/furniture and have to restart again to plan my base around it.
Started a fresh play of Mindustry this week and forgot how much I enjoy it. I play primarily on PC now to save my hands, but the mobile apps are free if someone wants to try it out!
Great game! And very playable on mobile too. I also enjoyed Shapez a lot. Looking forward to the sequel.
Shapez ruined me on Factorio. It feels like it took Factorio, removed all the weird distractions, and got down to the distilled essence of the genre. Everything else feels unsatisfying now. Send help!
I’m playing Dave the diver. It keeps me surprised, constantly adding new sections, while keeping the cor game loop fun. I suck at navigating though so I frequently get lost.
Yeah, Dave ate my entire weekend. Some issues, but great game overall.
Haven’t touched RimWorld in a few years. Got addicted to it again this week. Hopefully soon it will pass.
One of the best games ever! Doing a vanilla Royalty run now, and looking forward to try Biotech later.
I haven’t bought any of the DLC yet. Every steam sale I’m like not yet haha.
I feel your pain. I’m back doing a solo mechanitor run.
Nova Drift, like Asteroids but a roguelite. Been really into roguelites lately, recommendations welcome!
I’m sure you’ve played Hades if you’re into roguelites but that is such an awesome game.
A lesser known and interesting recommendation is Against the Storm, which is a top down strategy game with roguelite mechanics
A bit behind the curve, but I just finished The Return of the Obra Dinn. Wonderful game, I took the time to 100% it and it was very rewarding.
If you are looking for another game with the same feel, try Case of the Golden Idol. I genuinely thought it was the same developer until I looked it up.
Just started playing Grim Dawn again while waiting for Baldur’s Gate 3.
I finally finished Persona 5 Royal the second time in a row, and moved on to…Persona 5 Strikers lol
Still playing Cassette Beasts
i am playing no man’s sky these days. i have played 25 hours in last 3 days.
Went from like an hour in divinity original sin 2 to 55 and counting with a BG3 purchase this week.
Consider me hooked hard.
City of Heroes: Homecoming. It’s CoH/CoV on a private server. It has easy access to a double XP buff at the cost of no influence earned passively (enhancement/salvage still drops tho). It’s been a great time. My nostalgia is loving it.
Oh man, haven’t played CoH in ages. I was really sad when they shut it down but I had stopped playing by then anyways. I might have to check it out just for nostalgia sake.
I really wish we could spin up private servers in an official capacity. But I’d love to go back and relive some CoH.
Battlebit, Diablo IV, and Remnant II now that just came out.
Mostly “Against the Storm”, an Early Access Steam title.
