Still on poe2 for now. Over 250 hours in by now and don’t feel like stopping any time soon. I took time off from work when it launched and I’m getting back tomorrow so will have to learn how to balance the two now.
I’ve just got sifu from egs and will probably get either dreadhunter or windblown somewhere down the line. Along with regular runs on Dead Cells that I’m deeply addicted to.
Everspace once I’m back from my holidays abroad.
I’ve just recently started playing through Wasteland 3. Been trying to start up Civ VI, but it appears as though Steam has broken it on my Mac, so I will need an alternative alternative. Maybe something from my Epic or GOG library, so my kids don’t leave me out of luck when they want to use the Steam library, too.
Either Return of the Obra Dinn or Tyranny. Tyranny has been in my steam backlog for a little bit, but it feels like something I need to be ready to get mentally invested in
Return of the Obra Dinn is similar in that you may even want to have a notebook with you, but the experience is so worth it
I’m really looking forward to it. It seems to be consistently recommended as the thing that offers the most similar experience to Outer Wilds, which I absolutely adore. A good puzzle that reveals a story is always such a satisfying way to spend a bit of brain power
Great pick. Obra Dinn is a masterpiece. If you end up enjoying Obra Dinn you’d probably also enjoy the Case of the Golden Idol and its recent sequel. Both scratch a very similar itch.
It’s emotional too. At least it was for me.
I’m currently playing echoes of wisdom and elder scrolls: oblivion.
Although I drunkenly played GTA4 while listening to early 2000s crunk rap in memory of it being 25 years since 2000
next get drunk and play oblivion while listening to young scrolls

how about starting with Star by Adoring Fan?
I really ought to give Oblivion a playthrough with a few mods. It was my first Elder Scrolls game way back when, and I think my first RPG altogether, but I was playing it on console so I couldn’t change the fucked up levelling system
Making a second attempt to get into Mass Effect for the first time, at least until Hades 2 gets out of early access or MH Wilds comes out
Play the Legendary Edition if you can. Assuming you’re starting with the first game, there are massive quality of life improvements in that one.
That is indeed the version I got on an absolutely cracking sale
Awesome. Enjoy!
I get why most people prefer the legendary remaster of the first game to the original, but I would have liked it if they’d carried a lot of the design and narative choices into the sequels. EA bought Bioware in 2007, and I think it shows, but I love jank so perhaps I’m not the most impartial judge.
No Man’s Sky for sure will be one I play a lot. I also need an Arceus, so I am going to have to get Pokémon Brilliant Diamond, or Shining Pearl.
Spiritfall. Got it during the steam sale and I’m interested but haven’t played yet. Looks like a lot of fun.
I finally decided to go further than the elevator in MGS, so probably that, and hopefully follow up with the whole franchise (i only played mgs5 for about 5 hours).
I also started playing Black Book, interesting deck building game !
On one hand, I really want to continue of Ghost of Tsushima.
On the other hand, I have Genshin Impact installed that Ive been meaning to try (reddit and my younger sister tell me its easily possible to do all but the highest level stuff without spending any money,/gambling and even said content is still doable with skill).
Though in the end, Ill probably default to Stardew Valley 😂
Give Genshin a try, but be warned in advance that they have an “energy” system that determines how much actual gameplay you’ll get to enjoy. It refreshes every 12 hours (without paid boosters), but iirc, they give you some freebie energy boosts in the beginning to get you hooked.
As pretty as the game is, the hours of grind needed to make progress on leveling your characters and gear, and the relative lack of content when your energy gauge is refreshing, made me leave (someone will point out quests, but once those are done, they’re done, and you’ll still need to grind on top of that).
But there’s people who still love it. Maybe you will, too.
Huh, chances are I actually might.
I have serious issues running a game to the ground (aka, obsessively play just one game) before moving on, especially large games. (I WANT to enjoy them. I also want enjoy everything else in the game. End up burned out by the final boss. )
Been trying to pace myself with Stardew, and been successful do far, but I was looking for something switch up with Stardew. This just might be it.
Thanks for the heads up!
Like I said, it ticks the boxes for some people, and if you’re patient enough (pun intended), you can absolutely play for free and still have plenty to do.
I think I put $60 into the game over time, setting that limit intentionally, and I had a good enough time just making use of the free pulls and battle pass. You’ll definitely hit a wall of the end of the content, but they’ve added several things since I last played, so there will likely be plenty to do.
Sidenote: there’s no difference between the two MCs other than gender, so play as the one you think looks the best.
Roger, thank you so much!
I bought Ghost of Tsushima in one of the recent sales, and I’ve been enjoying it a great deal, so I’ll likely be joining you there.
Take this as lemmy also joining reddit and your sister in saying that all of genshin’s exploration and quests are super casual and free to play characters can easily do them.
The only thing hard to do while f2p are two endgame dungeons that change monthly. But these two endgame dungeons have nothing to do with any main or side quests and you can completely ignore them if you want.
Roger, thanks for the info!
Been on an rpg kick. Tyranny, then the Pillars of Eternity games are up next.
Played some Doom 2 (halfway through Deck the Underhalls) today, gonna play Skyrim now (started new playthrough few weeks ago). After finishing Underhalls I’m gonna proceed to play even more Doom, and after finishing Skyrim I definitely wanna play more Morrowind, some big things released recently [1] [2].
It always saddens me that Bethesda totally derailed past Morrowind. That was a masterpiece of a game, but ever since then it’s all just plain worse, dumbed down experience. Don’t get me wrong I still kind of like Oblivion, it’s not a bad game, but compared to Morrowind it’s just piece of shit. Haven’t even tried Skyrim as I fear it’s even more streamlined “experience for average Joe”…
What I miss about Morrowind was how unconcerned it was with being weird as fuck, it isn’t that Oblivion or Skyrim are bad it is just they feel like they got a crew cut and a Linkedin and I am like no!?! why did you sterilize all the most interesting parts of yourself!? … even though I know why, it was a career decision.
I’m currently playing Fire Emblem: three houses, restarted it last month and intend to finish it this year. Iight finish echoes of wisdom first, since it’s shorter.
The binding of Isaac.
There’s a bug update I’ve heard and I want to go back to see how it goes.
