What are you playing this weekend? 6/9 (lemmy.world)

Hello Everyone!

Let's start a first ever, "What are you playing this weekend?".

I am still completely enthralled by The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom. I am about 50-60 hours in, and still have lots of explore. I don't want to mention anything that might be a spoiler, but I think I should be around 60% done with the story. I am on media blackout about the game, so I don't actually know how long it actually it is, but this is what it seems like. Of course, if I go by total amount of Shrines, or Koroks, I am probably just 10-20% of the total.

All my other games are on pause, probably not going to resume anything else until I have finished Zelda.

What about all of you? What are you playing?

I usually start those games with the familiar barbarian and then slowly explore. I try to not really look at optimal builds and focus on the skills I think are fun. The sense of discovery is pretty cool when i "discover" a sweet combination or tactic, even if it turns out it's been a known build, I still feel like I discovered it

I agree. I don't generally look up builds, either unless I have done all I want, am looking for some new way to make the game not repetitive.

I generally start these game with a mage though (sorceress in Diablo), but after playing for a while, get an itch to get close to the enemies and beat them up, so start another play-through with a barbarian.

Played the demo with Necromancer, and now I want to play with the sorceress, but that is for whenever I get the game.
