I’ve finally gave in and tried Vampire Survivors… what have I done. I didn’t realize it was 3AM by the time I put my handheld down and suffering at work today.
Outside of that been casually replaying Halo CE and **Midnight Club 2 **
Once you’ve beat Vampire Survivors you can lose more time playing Halls of Torment. You can curse me later
I’ve been playing Exoprimal. I definitely wouldn’t have paid $60 for it, but it’s actually pretty fun - even though it’s primarily PVE, it really scratches the role-based hero gameplay I wanted out of Overwatch’s smoking wreck. In fact, keeping the shift primarily away from PVP (usually until endgame of each round) makes it so if you’re getting bodied by a much better team, you still get to play before having your group inefficiencies exposed at the end. That’s much better than an entire match being miserable with constant respawning.
Reviewers told that after 10 hours they didn’t want to play more, when you will it 10 hours, tell ke if you are still interested in it because I want to play it but I don’t want to waste 60 bucks
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’ve been playing Metroid Prime: Remastered. It’s amazing to see the beauty of the world in this game, but kid me must of had way more patience for the backtracking
Got into Rimworld for the first time and I’ve gone down such a rabbit hole that I don’t know if I can ever stop. I’ve never played such a completely engrossing game before.
Just finished Rayman Origins. Nearly a decade old but the game still looks incredible. Moving on to Zelda Link Between Worlds on 3DS now
Currently in 2.3 in FFXIV, still having so much fun with it
BattleBit and Fifa23
Playing Subnautica (original) for the first time and absolutely loving it!
Using a few QOL mods, I’ve given Subnautica 500+ hours of my life. It’s an excellent indie title that more game developers need to look at as an example of what they should be chasing.
would you mind listing off a few of those? it’s clunkiness is a lot of why i haven’t been able to get into something that by all rights should be right up my alley.
Currently Dave The Diver. Vampire Survivors here and there when I need a quick fix. And Two Dots on the mobile phone. Been playing it for two days, which makes it pretty good.
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.
I just can’t get it to “click” for me and I don’t know why; I should love it. I shall persevere.
Cheat code for having maximum fun is to make death noises over local chat whenever you’re shot.
Agreed
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!
Always playing Kenshi. Just can’t put it down.
Also just reinstalled Seven Kingdoms AA for the 100th time. Still one of my favourite games.
Skyrim
I don’t spend too much on games and only buy if they’re on sale.
Recently bought sleeping dogs for $2 and finished it 2 days ago. It was a 10/10 experience. Definitely suggest everyone to try it.
Other than that I’ve been playing Deep Rock Galactic.
Death standing, trying to keep my sanity while delivering cargo in mountains without the baby.
Navigating the mountains without BB is definitely stressful, but as long as you keep an eye on the weather, you should be good. I think I only had a run in with BTs once. You’re on the tail end of the story, have fun and keep on keeping on. 👍
