Gaming

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.

Witcher 2 babyyyy. First time playthrough and it's just... Like I'm a kid again and I can't stop thinking about playing it again when I'm at work.

I've only been able to get a few hours into TOTK due to being a "responsible" adult with no free time, but I'll keep churning away at it half an hour here and there.

Took me over a year to finish BOTW to a reasonable degree, I imagine TOTK will keep be going for the foreseeable future.

Cyberpunk - I like it but it's still buggy to the point of having to reload at times. The main story is absurdly predictable and short, barely got into it and I'm at the point of no return. Maybe the conclusion will save it. Replayability is low due to all the unskippable pseudo cutscenes. Combat is meh. So far a 7/10 game

F1 23 - finally a good F1 game

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.

Guild Wars 2, evidently others do like it as the maps are usually not empty.

I would like to play a more engaging game, but I'm working too much and my brain need some chill time.

Mostly relaxing games like Unpacking to kill time while I wait for FFXVI. I'm afraid of committing to other games at this point. Though I think I might get back into Vampire Survivors to help kill time too though.

I'm playing Vampyr again! I had already played it up to a certain point but never finished it. Recently I finished Tchia and felt like coming back to Vampyr, because I really like most of it (some details irritate me, like most of the regular patients in the hospital and all of the freshly spilled enemy-blood not showing up in your "blood detection" vision).

Oh and in addition, I started dabbling in this super eerie and janky MMO called Animyst.

I finally finished Cyberpunk! Now on to Doom Eternal

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

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

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.

Timberborn! Update 4 stuff really added a lot.

Disco Elysium Final Cut. Went into it almost completely blind and I'm really into it so far.

Satisfactory Update 8 (Lumen makes it very pretty) and Beyond All Reason mainly!

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.

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!

Been playing Stardew valley and Slay the spire while watching tv/movies on a second monitor. It's a pretty engrossing way to spend your free time.

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.

Morrowind and Outer Worlds

Halo, BOTW, eventually TOTK.

Gotta enjoy my life before university starts again...

I’ve been on a bit of an Alan Wake replay marathon this week in preparation for the sequel. Played Alan Wake and American Nightmare back to back and then threw in Control with the AWE DLC.

• Diablo IV
• Starsiege: Tribes (1998)
• Half-Life: Deathmatch GoldSrc (1998)
• Stasis: Bone Totem

Love seeing what people are into this week!

Just achieved 240% in Arkham Knight. Was it worth all the time and hassle just to receive a different colored version of the main batsuit? Kind of.

Now I’ve got the Arkham itch and decided to start replaying City for the first time in years.

Just started Mass Effect Andromeda after finishing 2 runs of the original trilogy (loved them). Sadly my internet is out and EA won’t let me play which is a massive bummer.

Beyond All Reason (free and oss RTS)

I feel boring after scrolling through all the other replies and just saying Diablo 4. :p

I died against the final boss earlier this week after getting them down to a couple hits left, so I spent all week grinding renown and paragon points and just completely face rolled them this morning. Feels good, man. I can't wait to start on the endgame content.

Other than that, I played that Grimace game on my GBC style emulation handheld. It's... a game. I also played Microsoft's Bejeweled clone in the mobile Xbox app to get rewards points.

Almost done with Dungeons 3. Really fun little game that was free on Epic the other week.

Also, I finally managed to get War Thunder working with HOTAS and Quest 2. That is pretty amazing. For the first time the climb phase a the beginning of a realistic battle is really enjoyable and not just an extension of the loading screen.

I have rediscovered Titanfall 2 and am playing using Northstar. very fun
