Gaming

I played the Final Fantasy 16 demo yesterday and I'm hooked. Can't wait for thursday, when the game releases!

While I'm waiting, I'm playing Horizon Forbidden West (the world is so big!), Diablo 4 and as always Final Fantasy 14. ^^

Pokémon Violet. I have the dex. I’ve finished the storyline. I just find raiding fun and relaxing.

Mechabellum. Nothing else.

Autobattler with mechs. Very lively atm and you get a game in a minute easily. Super well executed game, but it is in early access and definitely has jank when it comes to user experience.

Would 100% recommend.

Battlebit Remastered

Like 3-4 people put together a better Battlefield game than DICE ever did, with up to 127v127 fights, community servers on top of official quickplay, and a $15 pricetag. It's insanely good and this shit doesn't even feel like it's in early access.

FF Pixel Remaster marathon by day, Amnesia: The Bunker by night. The latter is a must play for survival horror fans, Frictional nailed it.

Battlebit remastered. Definitely got curious from their ads, but it is a battlefield experience like no other. Puts 2042 to shame. It looks silly but its challenging in all the right ways.

Solasta - Crown of the Magister cRPG trying to replicate the feel of tabletop RPG as well as possible IMO they did it really well ! Not everything is perfect of course, and it's more combat-centered than my tabletop experience, but I'm really enjoying this first playthrough (playing in coop with a friend).

Divinity - Original Sin 2 RPG with a turn-based combat system, a somewhat open world and interesting storylines I stopped playing on normal and started again on tactician, I was getting bored by the fights becoming too easy during act 2.

I am a big fan of crpg: usually I play Baldur's Gate, Solasta, Pathfinder... but I will play DIV because I want to try a new class (done the campaign with a Sorc, next one will be a druid or a necro).

I'm playing Pokémon Yellow on my SteamDeck (via RetroArch). The childhood nostalgia I'm experiencing is heart-warming. :)

Been playing some FFXIV, Baldurs Gate 3, Solasta, Divinity Original Sin 1 Enhanced Edition and Cyberpunk in that rotation

I've been playing Ace Combat 7. It has been exhilarating!

Started playing OpenTTD again after many years, forgot how engaging the game can be!

Picked up Deep Rock Galactic based on recommendations in another thread, not very good at it yet but it's a lot of fun!

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

I've been enjoying the Evercade Piko Collection 3 cart recently. When new carts come out I like to try out every game and go in-depth on a least a couple games so I have a reason to come back to it later after there's a new shiny out.

So I've been playing and streaming 40 Winks (I'm about halfway through now), enjoying some Radikal Bikers, and loving to hate the hilariously bad Sword of Sodan.

I'm going through the Street Figher 6 World Tour Mode and am near the end I think. No idea how much I'll play it afterward. Maybe I'll try out some stuff in the Battle Hub, like the Arcade Mode or the different training modes, to actually learn some stuff.

I finally finished Cyberpunk! Now on to Doom Eternal

Vintage Story! It started as a type of Minecraft mod, but was remade as a standalone game. It has a big emphasis on crafting and working your way up the tech tree manually by increasing the tools available to you. Food can be hard to come by in the beginning. The overall story also has a sort-of post-apocalyptic, lovecraftian vibe. Only available on their website, but it's a ton of fun!

Diablo, overwatch, RimWorld depending on if friends are available or how much free time I have

I've played a variety of games this past week;

• American Truck Simulator with friends
• Borderlands 3 for mindless gunplay
• Plate up with the wife!

Hunt showdown w my mates, rimworld for myself. Looking for a tactical mp fps to tide me over for Fallujah but Sandstorm didn't really click for me. Might wait for Squad to hit a deep sale.

poly bridge 3! very chill but still stimulating game where you get a variety of maps and scenarios to build bridges in. i did have to watch two hours of bridge building tutorials because my knowledge of physics is abysmal but if you passed a physics course in high school i doubt it’s nearly as challenging.

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've been stuck on Rocket League and Fortnite for years.. 😭

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

I've been cleaning though some games that I had only partially completed in anticipation that I will need more hard drive space come september. Finished the dlcs for both Spiderman and Horizon zero dawn which I quite enjoyed, and now I'm playing far cry 6 which is okay but definitely not living up to it's own potential.

Been playing some RE: revelations 2 on switch, lately been on a Resident evil mood just finches RE2R so going with the franchise a little bit.

Timberborn! Update 4 stuff really added a lot.

This week, a little Citizen Sleeper, a little of a Doom wad called Lost Civilization and No Man's Sky on Switch.

Forgive Me Father. I rarely play shooters these days but this one is a quite pleasant for short sessions so far with just a tad of old doom-like tactics, but more streamlined, and has nice aesthetics too

Horizon Forbidden West. Got the expansion and wanted to go through the main story again before jumping into it.

Just finished playing the Lies of P demo. Almost rage quit on the last boss but finally beat it this morning. Really enjoyed the demo, very Bloodborne-esque and now looking forward to the full game release.

I've been jumping back and forth between The Finals Closed Beta and Battlebit Remastered when I'm not leveling my sorcerer on Diablo IV.

Outside of that, for demos I played the FF16 demo which blew my wig back. Lusant is another one coming from Don't Nod that I played a small chunk of and quit because I knew it was right up my alley and didn't need to see more, have a feeling it'll be a shorter experience. Then I tried Lies of P, which has busted HDR support on PC, so gonna give it a shot on PS5 today. Overall dug the vibe and combat, the influence from Bloodborne is all over the damn game.
