Comment on Weekly Recommendations Thread: What are you playing this week?
BurntWits@sh.itjust.works 4 weeks agoIt’s funny, the modern FromSoft catalogue is probably my favourite set of games out there, and yet I’ve rarely ventured out into soulslikes from other devs. Even the really big ones like Lies of P I haven’t played through. It’s my favourite genre of games though so I really should try to get into them more, but I just always find myself replaying Elden Ring or Dark Souls or something.
I mean, whatever makes you happy? A couple of years ago I made a conscious decision to expand my gaming vocabulary and play loads of different and new games instead of just replaying the same old games, or keep playing forever-games like Civ, Dota or MMOs. I don’t like every new game I play as much as my favorites, but I appreciate constantly seeing and experiencing new things.
But on the other hand some people just like playing their comfort games, and that’s also okay. You just gotta ask yourself if what you’re doing right now is making you happy, or if you’re just doing it out of habit.

I’d like to expand out, I just have such little time for games these days that when I finally do get an hour or two to play, I tend to stick to what I know. Plus it’s hard to get immersed in a story when you can only play a couple hours once a month or so. But I would like to venture out at some point.
