Dave the Diver! Honestly one of the most fun games I’ve played in a long time
It’s interesting how experiences can vary. I just returned it because I wasn’t enjoying it, which was a shame because it looks great.
What makes it fun for you?
I’ve been replaing “The Legend of Zelda Twilight Princess” and loving the Nostalgia throwback.
The HD version on WiiU or the SD Version on GC/Wii? Are you gonna go for 100% or just a casual playthrough? :)
Personally TP has to be my favorite Zelda title, I replay it casually every 2 years or so.
I am Playing on Wii with 480p, I’ll probably 100% when I get the time to do it. It’s awesome to revisit it from time to time :)
Good luck on the canoe mini game then!! Was often one of the hardest for me to get the 100% lol
Exoprimal. It’s the exact dumb fun I want it to be with its own little sense of humor that actually works somewhat. If you have Gamepass it is a no-brainer. I’m not sure about $60 or $70 or whatever it’s retailing at yet but this will undoubtedly be a game with a huge surge in users when they start selling it for $30 and under. The PvPvE format works very well for it, it gives you a real sense of urgency and has you moving very quickly. Gives the fights and deaths real stakes that aren’t just resetting progression or something.
I’ve been enjoying this a lot too. Finished the story. Was just a wacky good time.
I love the pacing of the missions. They’ve really thought it through, which is not something I see with such flagrant GAAS games. The random mission changes and story elements popping in really keeps the game fresh. Yesterday in the middle of a really heated match against another team, we suddenly got dropped into an arena and all of us had to work together to take down a neo T-Rex. That was so cool and I was not expecting it at all. if that’s the kind of experience I can regularly expect from this game, then they will have my attention at least for a few months.
They are really in your face about buying things, but I am unlocking things at a steady clip so credit where credit is due. You definitely don’t need to buy your way into the game.
I have been replaying Divinity 2. I had forgotten how good this game plays and looks. AND I was watching a “Let’s Play” of DOS2 and noticed I missed some areas and stuff I didn’t know I could do. So much dept and different ways to do things.
I was replaying DOS2 on my Linux gaming PC with an XBox controller because I think the controller will play similar on Baldur’s Gate 3.
Fun days ahead soon exploring the world of Faerun and Baldur’s Gate.
Just finished TOTK so now I’m starting Diablo 4
How different is it from 3? There were a lot of complaints when it first came out. But I was wondering how much of that was just people being a bit overzealous.
Honestly, barely played 3. Tried to get into it but it wasn’t my cup of tea at the time. Now that my gaming preferences have changed and I play with friends it’s a bit more up my alley. I like it though but I’m very early in the game (level 13).
Days Gone. New to me. My pet peeve is that the motorcycle is a piece of junk. It’s got like 1.5 gallon gas tank and gets something like 2km/gallon. Or maybe it’s 1 mpg, but the game uses metric for distances and imperial for volume.
7 Days to Die - Incredible game, when it’s modded, it never gets old
Guardians of the Galaxy - everything is amazing except the combat. The combat is really, really mind numbing and repetitive. Makes me wish the game would just be over already.
Dinkum - Pretty bland. Its fun at first but you quickly start asking yourself why you’re even doing the grind.
Planet Crafter - More addicting than fun. But still an overall enjoyable experience.
PlateUp! - play this with my wife. Very fun and very challenging!
I also loved GoTG outside of the combat. How I stayed engaged was trying to get the achievements for each other guardians to powers, made for some challenges.
Battlebit, it’s everything I wanted in the latest Battlefield titles and more, but made by 3 indie devs. Map votes, weapon attachments, classes, local voice chat, destruction, scoreboard, night mode on all maps… It’s great.
The top rated comment on here when it first came out was “Everyone talking positively about it must be a shill, there’s no way a game can be that good”
It really just is that good!
Dude yeah battlebit is amazing!
I finally caved in and started playing Spiderman Remastered. The combat is pretty simple but it’s a lot of fun, and swinging around the city feels great. For some reason the game really likes making you play as MJ and Miles in bad stealth missions though. They’re just so boring and I try to speedrun through them but every other mission just wants you to not play as spiderman and it’s killing the pacing for me.
The story is also a little disappointing. There’s so much spiderman material out there and it feels like they decided to do something more kid-friendly, at least so far. The villains are over the top, it doesn’t feel like there’s any stakes or drama and everyone is just really shallow. I’m still halfway through so maybe the ending will surprise me (doubt it).
Overall I’d say it’s a fun game, but it’s not really Amazing or Spectacular.
Witcher 3
Never played a Witcher before and I knew I’d like it so I picked it up in the steam sale and man, I was right. I love it so much.
Yooo I’ve also been replaying it. I’ve 100% it already but with the next gen updates there were a good chunk of changes. I’ve been loving it all over again.
This might be one of my favorite games. So much replay value if you don’t look up spoilers. If you didn’t get heart of stone or blood and wine, you REALLY need to. They are like entire games themselves.
I got the whole bundle with all the DLCs so I am excited to get into it. I’m not very far in, only a couple hours but I am enjoying the hell out of it. Almost been late to work because I keep staying up too late playing it lol
I’ve been working a lot, so I’ve been decompressing with No Man’s Sky
Mass Effect Legendary Edition!
- Chilling out to No Man’s Sky after not playing it for a long time. A great game to zone out to.
- Revisiting The Outer Worlds, just as good as I remember it being
Taking a break from DotA 2 atm.
Filling the free time with Binding of Isaac and Factorio.
Lost and Jakob runs costing me my last nerves
Going from one time sink (Dota) to a time black hole Factorio.
The factory must grow.
Been playing Cultic on Steam Deck and Street Fighter 6 on PS5. Cannot wait for the new Armored Core!
