Just finished breath of the wild and hitman absolution. Went back to journey to the savage planet for the first time in ages. I also played some Mario tennis on citra.
Maybe some Sacred Gold or Kirby: Forgotten land. Away from my gaming pc so old laptop and switch will have to do.
Starfield
The Finals is probably one of the better shooters to come out in a minute, especially if you like lots of gatgets and tools. My only real complaint is that devs are reactive to game balance and don't seem to think about how the game will ultimately be played.
Been playing Helldivers 2, really fun game!
Question about it: It offers a curved HUD option in the settings, which is really neat in the YT vids I’ve seen, especially since I have a curved monitor. I’d love to enable this, but it doesn’t work at all for me. Does it for anyone else?
Just got Snufkin: Melody of the Moomin Valley
Originally for my wife, but she got annoyed by the movement too fast. My favourite review of the game so far:
"In this game you will play as the world famous criminal and ecoterrorist Snufkin.
Snufkin is unemployed but charismatic traveller-musician helping various interesting creatures of Moominvalley, all while sabotaging typical autocratic right-winger Hemulen's plans on making up mundane rules and destroying everything good and beautiful.
Cops in the game are represented evil and stupid, as they are in real life, so I would recommend the game for the whole family as educational game.
On the serious note: Gameplay is fine for this type of game. The core is in the atmosphere, dialogue and sound design which all are great. So far the experience has been smooth, fun and relaxing. Would recommend, but adults should not expect much challenge here."
This is my conundrum.
I would like to play Age of Water for Xbox Series X.
...at the same time;
I would like to not be disappointed.
hAlp?
Just finished Drakengard 3 and feeling empty - both because the final boss fight took me 4 days to beat and because, despite many issues I have with the game, ending still managed to hit pretty hard. I love this shitty game.
Playing 5 games right now....
Mega Man (original NES version) - fast paced and better than I expected platformer
Lonely Mountains Downhill - calming and chill mountain biking game
Voices of the Void - silly and mildly aggravating at times but fun once you get into it simulator game
Sam & Max Hit the Road - funny point-and-click adventure game with puzzles that are fair and logical
Skies Of Arcadia - classic turn based RPG with an entertaining story can't believe I never played it years ago
My game tips for each game

SoA is excellent but the random battles are too much. I've played it so many times over the years but never actually completed it!
Yes the random battles in SoA do get kinda repetitive especially since many of them seem so easy and the game has you going back and forth on the world map with the same enemies that don't level scale at all with the characters.
im more of a casual gamer but: please try cats are liquid
a better place comes first in the story, and then a light in the shadows
Deltarune Chapter 2
Tried playing Sly Cooper: Thieves In Time using RPCS3 on my laptop. Didn't get far into the tutorial before it completely froze. Gave up and completely removed RPCS3 because it was also causing my laptops fan to work hard.
Otherwise, I at least started to get back into Krosmaga by playing a single match in a very long time on my phone last night.
Centipede: Recharged for the Atari VCS.
Has anyone played Atari today?
