I’ve been playing The Outer Worlds for the first time since it released ages ago.
It is a great little roleplaying adventure game. I should do a stand alone post on it, in large part because it is almost always compared to Fallout New Vegas, which does it a disservice by setting up the wrong kinds of expectations.
I do enjoy playing a first person RPG that actually feels like a story rather than the increasingly bloated and unfocused Bethesda games which it is also often compared to.
I finally got around installing OpenMW and started playing.
Feels good to relive my first “serious” RPG experience.
I need to get that on my phone now that I have a Backbone.
I’m playing Myst for the first time, and I refuse to get help online.
Good luck with that. It has some pretty difficult puzzles
I’m finally getting to Death Stranding and I’m an hour in and absolutely intrigued by the story. But at the same time completely lost. I look forward to all the reveals of what the hell is going on.
Also weirdly feels like an anime, which isn’t surprising knowing the mind behind it.
Been replaying Talos Principle in anticipation of the sequel coming out next month. Been having a blast with the exception of a few puzzles with mines (if you’ve played it you know). I don’t know if I’m going to 100% it again because I fucking hate those levels.
I played it through recently for the same reason.
There are some tricks to deal with mines - e.g. the “double jammer” dance will almost entirely de-risk a lot of the craziest levels.
It’s the star puzzles I couldn’t be bothered with…
Yeah that where I gave up this time too.
Just finished Sea of Stars. Really a beautiful classic style RPG. If you have any fond memories of games like Golden Sun, Chrono Trigger, or Breath of Fire, then it’s definitely a game for you.
Been enjoying cyberpunk but I keep going back to Xcom: Enemy Unkown
I find XCOM difficult to go back to after playing XCOM 2, especially with the huge amount of easily installed XCOM 2 mods on the steam page.
Just got back into Dofus Touch. I’m not far on either Touch, the PC version, or the sequel Wakfu, but they are at least fun enough for me to enjoy.
Still playing a lot of Lies of P recently while trying to go for 100%. I underestimated how long this’ll take honestly, it seems like you need to do 3 separate playthroughs and be very careful about easily missable quests and records. Same shenanigans as dark souls really.
Still, it’s a really fun game. Highly recommended to anyone who enjoys the souls games.
There’s a indie sandbox fantasy game called The Bloodline that just came out and I’ve been having lots of fun messing around with that.
Rogue Tower - Steam description: Rogue Tower is a tower defense game with roguelike elements and a continuously expanding path which you can influence. Unlock, build, upgrade, expand, defend.
I’ve enjoyed unlocking all the cards and completing the 1-path (simpler) mode. Now I’m working on 2/3/4 path modes and finding them much more difficult. Uncovering levels of strategy I didn’t know existed in this game after simpler mode. Surprisingly complex for a tower defense and very interesting.
Also, CS2. Still fun to shoot people in the head.
I’m not sure how I feel about the revamped buy system in CS2, but I guess it does make it easier to add more alternate guns.
I am also uncertain but it does seem better than the old 2 layer/level system. I don’t like limiting the choices but I do tend to only use a few weapons.
I tried the Go Mecha Ball demo at Steam Next Fest recently and been having a blast with it, even though it’s a demo. The gameplay is just so good, looking forward to release. Also I checked out the publisher’s steam page and found Evolings, it’s a very cute roguelike where you collect evolings and fuse them together to make stronger ones, and fight bad guys through a semi-randomly generated set of routes.
I’ve upgraded my PC and discovered that I kind of love GR Breakpoint now. They added a metric shitton of improvements and I began to vibe with its sterile ikea futurism. Too bad the other island DLC isn’t happening, but there’s loads to do on the existing one still.
FTL
Classic
