I primarily mean video games. However, if you’ve played some kind of interesting table top or card game I’d like to hear about that too! I’ve been replaying the Witcher 3 lately.
For video games, I just beat silksong, which was super fun and pretty brutal. The art and music is phenomenal though, it’s a great game. Working on Hades 2 right now, which is also fantastic and I’d recommend.
For board games I’ve been getting my group into the Heroes 3 board game. It’s the biggest box I’ve ever seen for a game lol. It does a great job of feeling like the computer game while meeting the constraints of a board game, plus there’s lots of bits to fiddle with. Downside is its huge, so you need a big table or a group comfortable playing on the floor.
I literally just finished the 3D remake of Final Fantasy 3 (PC version) before coming here. After I’m done here, I’m going to start playing Roller Coaster Tycoon Deluxe.
I also somewhat recently finished the original PC version of Doom 3 and it’s expansion pack. I understand why people don’t like it as much as Doom 1 and 2 but I still think the game was good.
I got cyberpunk 2077 for the summer sale and I’m absolutely loving it. Put nearly 200 hours into the game in the first month or so. Only just now getting into mods. Despite its poor launch the dlc definitely makes up for it.
Patrick’s Parablox is a bit of a head spin.
I played Heartworm. It’s an indie survival horror game that came out recently. It’s a very unique game in the genre. I highly recommend it.
Clair Obscur. First thing to really grab my attention since BG3.
100%'d Silksong, my game of the decade so far.
It took them seven years to make it. I doubt they will release another installment in five years so definitely GotD.
I know… but DLCs confirmed!
I think I’m about halfway through Stray and love every minute.
I’ve also been playing Pokemon Emerald: Seaglass as a really gorgeous re-imagining of Emerald.
I really enjoyed Stray the world is gorgeous (in it’s dingy apocalyptic way) and I enjoyed how they used the mechanics with a couple change ups to keep it interesting but not out-staying there welcome.
The ending I thought was really good.
Check out spirit of the north if you wanna play a game where youre a cute fox
I will! Thanks!
Just finished SOMA a few years late. Asks some very good questions…
I loved Soma, so much existential angst.
I love the big revelations and how they are done. It’s definitely a game which makes you think.
I also love that they put in the no deaths mode so you can ignore the monsters which whilst cool I don’t think added much to the experience for me other than frustration trying to sneak past them.
I played Clue for the first time yesterday! Super fun.
Finally got around to playing Devotion by Red Candle Games. It’s a super good horror game, but without getting into spoilers, I absolutely would NOT recommend this to parents, holy shit. Shame that the CCP bombed this game into obscurity, the devs did not deserve this.
I picked up Icewind Dale again. It’s one of my comfort games, along with several of the other Infinity Engine games. Still holds up.
Something always steals my attention away anytime I try and start that one up.
Someday.
To be fair, it’s not terribly engaging (compared to the other games in the series). But if you’re into dungeon crawls, it’s fun.
Still on the Slay the Spire-train. A downright excellent game.
Also playing some Hades 2
I’ve gone back to playing Ghost of Tsushima, for the first time, a bunch recently. Took a long break from it after Act I, but just because I didn’t want to marathon it all at once. It’s probably my favorite melee combat game that isn’t a full-fledged RPG, and the story is fantastic. I’m really glad that it’s more grounded in realism, for the most part, rather than relying on fantasy gimmicks and magic. Plus playing it with Japanese audio is an absolute treat.
After 6 years, Sekiro finally clicked with me and I got all 4 endings for it within few weeks.
