What games have you been playing lately?

[Sketch Relics]

Honestly looking forward to this new armored core. Gonna wait for review to come out to see if it's worth playing.

While you're waiting, you can try emulating some of the older AC games, most people recommend starting with 3 into Silent line, but 4 Answer, AC1, and AC2 are all decent starting points.
Just so you know, up until Nexus (where From invented their modern control scheme) the base control scheme is very archaic, but the games all have full controller remap so you can set camera controls to your face buttons for a pseudo duel stick layout.

The only game I hard recommend against stating at is Last Raven, not because it's bad(it's actually one of the best imo), but because it is brutally hard.

I should also note that each numbered title series has massively changed mechanics past Last Raven so AC1 to Last Raven, 4/4A, and V/Verdict Day all play very differently from one another. I would imagine that 6 will probably be its own thing as well.

Caves of Qud and Rise of Nations. Scratches my autistic itch

I am actually playing Rimworld. Great game... However, I'm already getting a little bored, so it's possible that I'll soon abandon my colony. But I will probably return to this game more than once in the future.

I play games less frequently than I used to but I still find stuff I get really into.

Currently it's LOZ: Tears of the Kingdom.

Before that my Wife and I were playing in private Terraria server, first time either of us had ever played it.

Lets see ... before that ... hmmm
We played through that new retro inspired Ninja Turtles game. Shreder's Revenge. That was pretty good.
And sometime in the winter we played through the entire Streets of Rage series.

I also put many, many hours into Elden Ring.

Oh and last year I got Planet Coaster for free on my PS5 from PS+. I ended up plugging a wireless keyboard/mouse into the PS5, buying all the Planet Coaster DLC, exhausting nearly every last drop of gameplay I could get out of it.

Playing Morrowind via OMW on my phone using a controller now. Works pretty well, actually! I'm impressed.

I have currently decided to make sure I play every game on my Steam account. I have a habit of buying games in the sale (only when they are sub-£5) and then not playing them. So I have created a "Played" category and a "Unplayed" category. Unfortunately, I decided that it would be a good idea to play through games I have played before, you know, so I deffo have played them before they go into the category of "Played". So I am back to square one and am playing Half-Life (original) and Max Payne 1......I am sure I will get around to the other games at some point.........

Dwarf fortress, Garry's mod, and a bit of Tekken 5

I finished DOOMBLADE. It took just 6.30 hours to finish the game with %70 completion. It is a metroidvania that was good and unique but not unique enough to grind to %100. Also there was the issue of hardness and coolness correlation issue, the coolest boss was the easiest, there were some really hard but lame bosses and the last boss was the most boring boss i have ever played against and it wasn't hard at all. I really liked the lore too, simple but it hits hard.

Minecraft lately on my discord's minecraft server for the release of 1.20 Here's my base so far. I named it "Bodie"

 

[alix]

Cyberpunk 2077. It has actually became much more better, even though I'm playing on a PS4 I rarely ever get any gltiches. Plus the story and worldbuilding are incredible.

 

[Digital Cheese]

Halo 2, I've been playing that game a decent bit recently. Pretty fun still, especially online. Even the MCC version is pretty good online tho on Xbox it used to crash a lot (not sure if it still does). I've got Halo 2 Cartographer now, but I've been having issues with verifying my account there so I'm gonna have to see when I can get that sorted out before I play online, but I could do the campaign apparently.

Been playing Northen Journey. I saw it in a youtube video recently and decided to buy it since I really liked Lunacid and I got the same feeling from what I saw. I was not wrong, it isn't a dungeon crawler but has a lot of exploration in open areas, and the combat system is basic but isn't used enough to feel repetitive. In that regard Lunacid is much better.
I recommend, it's only $11 and already finished, unlike the other game I mentioned.

 

[Drifloon]

I've recently started playing GTA IV for the first time. It's been pretty enjoyable so far but I wish I could understand people better.

 

[CastletonSnob]

Katamari Damacy.

 

[inuyashiware]

I've been playing Predator Hunting grounds on the PS4. Its fun as hell, getting hunted by the Predator or being the Predator. So far I feel like it stays true to the movie. What is everyone else's go to games at the moment?

Gta V. Stress reliever.

I replay Zelda Twilight Princess because i miss the traditional dungeons from modern zelda which had interesting puzzles, but some of its aspects hadn't stand the test of time like the ugly greyish colors that tries to look realistic, some of the characters are ugly designed, the limited use of items outside the dungeons except collecting rupees or heart pieces except that rod from time temple. Also Nintendo doesn't realize that the series has such potential for more games and content. So it's nice to revisit some older entry 7/10

The one I find holds up time after time is A Link to the Past. I found a lot of the 3D ones aged like milk, but that one is nearly perfect. OOT used to be my all-time favourite game, but it's gotten bumped down the list by 2D Zelda and Metroid games in recent years.

Ratchet and Clank (the PS2 original).

I'd be honest, I just downloaded WoW SSP repack and being playing WotLK for real for the first time; back when I was a pathetic miniature homo sapiens sapien, I could not run GTA SA at above 24 FPS on my home computer, being it had no dedicated GPU and all that. My first experience of playing WoW was logging onto the client, created a Troll hunter, and wandered off from Orgrimmar to be killed by a scorpion in sub single digit FPS. Never touched the game after that, and when I went to Uni and got a laptop with a mid-range GPU, I never felt like paying subscription for the game.

It's been a blast, even though there's quiet a lot of bugs with the WotLK server and the fact that all the addons are maintained sporadically, not to mention all the broken quests in the client. I think the whole patchwork program might just collapse on itself one day, but for what's worth it actually felt like a brand new world to explore to me.

I beat God of War (2018) last week. I'm working my way through Ragnarök right now, but I just want to say that, man, have AAA games gotten too long for me.

Yet... I can appreciate how the time commitment might allow for more fleshing out of characters, deeper connection / attachment. I don't know. I also feel like I don't personally have time, so ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ ~ Kratos be lucky I give any crap about him.

Quite grateful to the games for having really kind difficulty settings too.

In recent years I tend to prefer games that don't have a clearly defined end.

I feel the total opposite, yo.
