    Nothing new yet. Well, the last few weeks I started a new character in Valheim, the first one for me since the mistlands biome update.

    Valheim has been on steam for a year or so, but is only just nearing 1.0 release. I had gotten on fairly early to play with budddies, and it was 20 bucks well spent. Played a good bit with my buds, Iv played a lot more solo. Survival/Base builder. Norse mythology setting. Not sure the price now with release imminent, but worth adding to the watch/wish list if the genre is right or you.

    But, iirc the game is called Druidstone. Turn-based tactics game, foresty magic pg 13 looking. Been on my steam list for ever and was 5 bucks recently. Gonna play it soon I swear. I’m a little disheartened because it looks like you are stuck with 3 specific characters, instead of building a party. But hey maybe skill trees? Anywhoots I’ll post more about that one later.

    I never tried it before because I thought the RPG part would be dumb. But it’s surprisingly fun and has the great Meretzky humor.

    it’s even on Steam: …steampowered.com/…/Super_Hero_League_of_Hoboken/

    Cyberpunk,

    Finally picked it up on this sale with Phantom Liberty.

    Played about an hour so far, seems OK, have to get my Steam Controller setup properly for it still.

    I've finally been playing through Mad Professor Mariarti on the Amiga. I saw it played many times as a child but now I'm finally playing it myself - and beating it!

    Fallout New Vegas! I’m really enjoying all the characters that I have met so far, but I’m starting to realize that villifying factions right from the start isn’t the best idea when trying to get to new places

      Yo, I started FNV for my first time this week! A friend of mine is always raving about it, so he sent me instructions to get it all modded out (Viva New Vegas modlist), so I did that and I’m off to the races. So far so good… it was a bit of a grind to get past the first couple of quests (I kept getting my ass handed to me), but now that I’ve killed some convicts and stolen their stuff, I’m in much better shape. Also I figured out I can sleep in beds that aren’t red.

      I also heard that about not getting involved with factions yet…

    MGS Ghost Babel! Obviously a little primitive because it’s a GBC game but the plot’s pretty exciting and holds up even today

    Thief, anno 1404

    I’m playing Minecraft on the Wii U with my daughter… and since the eShop closed a while ago, I didn’t have any issues unlocking all skins and DLCs by…. Alternative means 😅

    I like the style of the Mass Effect texture pack, and it’s fun exploring the included map.

    I’ve been playing Silent Storm a 2004 strategy RPG that is a total hidden gem. A little primitive but it feels a bit like the battle system from BG 3 with guns.

    source
    • Arkive@lemmy.zip ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

      Silent Storm was a fun turn-based tactics game! Not as polished as something like the Firaxis xcoms, but more complete than a lot of other non-fantasy tactics games I’ve tried.

      source
      • 5in1k@lemm.ee ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

        Well 2 months later I have beaten both Xcoms. Thanks for the tip they were a lot of fun.

        source
      • 5in1k@lemm.ee ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

        Sounds like I should try XCom. I bought every Humble Bundle for a couple years from it’s inception and I have 800+ games in my Steam library. I just played Silent Storm randomly and blind and was surprised.

    It’s mostly RTS games for me

    • Homeworld: Deserts of Kharak

    Finally got some time alone to play some more octopath traveller 2 and make some progress in a couple of storylines

    NFS Unbound and BF2043 cause it‘s five bucks each rn.

    I think BF is fine for 5 bucks if you don‘t think about how much worse it is compared to BF3 or 4, it‘s still silly fun for cheap on its own.

    NFS I struggle to recommend even for this price, unless you‘re already done with all the Forzas, Crews, Grids, and Dirts of this world. The driving just feels incredibly wrong, lots of „what the fuck just happened?“ And it runs poorly even though it looks mediocre.

    Chained Together was fun so far with a friend, although it‘s clearly not very polished.

    I also got Deep Rock Galactic, but I haven‘t spent much time in it yet. This one in contrast looks very polished lol

    Lastly, Chicory has been a lot of fun and a unique experience. A cute and wholesome game I can recommend.

    After I became „worthy“ this week in Distance, I also want to recommend it again. It‘s a game I discovered through people talking about it on here and it was a great experience.

    Bulletstorm full clip edition.

    Really fun shooter with an interesting scoring mechanic.

      I fuckin love Bulletstorm and wish it got its sequel

    I’ve just finished playing Half-Life (or in fact, the fan-made remake Black Mesa), and Half-Life: Uplink (the demo version that was released after the final game, and it consisted of a short scenario that’s not included in the final game, but lately was included in the 25th anniversary version).

    source
    • Duamerthrax@lemmy.world ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

      Check out the fan games, Half-Life: Echoes and Entropy: Zero 1 and 2 afterwards.

  • MarauderIIC@dormi.zone ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

    Unnamed Space Idle. Not very patient though, unless you count the gameplay itself haha.

    Slay the Spire co-op mod and AC6 are also recent plays for me but not strictly this week. I’m not sure that I’m gonna stick with AC6 though.

    Finished Lego City Undercover and The Veilguard. Had a blast with both.

      That final dive to earth in LCU is amazing, it’s like they suddenly had a Call of Duty budget to play with.

        Yeah. It was fun to play through.

    Watch Dogs 2, didn’t really like it, but it’s probably fun on a steam deck on a flight I’d bet

    Started playing Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice this week. I may or may not have bought it because I got it mixed up with Ghost of Tsushima, so the fact that it’s essentially Bloodborne but in Japan caught me a bit off guard, but it’s not bad. There’s been three separate times now where I’ve gotten stuck on a boss, closed the game thinking “I hate soulslike games, this was a waste of money,” and then beat the boss on my first try the next day.

    It seems like they took into account the fact that you can’t summon friends when they tuned the difficulty. It’s not easy by a longshot, but it’s not as impossible as other Fromsoft games.

    The posture gauge is my favorite game mechanic. Having both defense and offense move the fight along makes it so much less of a slog than other soulslikes. Normally I just dart around the battlefield getting one light attack in every 30 seconds, but this game has me standing right next to the boss, actively rewarding me for memorizing telegraphs and attack patterns. It’s super satisfying.

      Ah yes, the classic Souls experience.

      It’s super satisfying.

      It is, being in a 5 minute sword fight with swords clashing all the time is really rewarding. Many of my favorite Souls bosses are from Sekiro.

    Half Life 2. They gave it to me for free.

    Finished it and got Necromunda: Hired Gun for $13.

        How did you like it? I’m like 10 hours in and so far it seems ok, but I’m not seeing the super amazing game that my friends raved about. For instance last night while playing I thought about how Bioshock was much more immersive and gripping, and it came out the same year.

    I’ve been playing Monster Hunter Now on mobile, it fucking sucks unfortunately, but it’s making want to play MH:World again to just grind out armor pieces casually… Although thinking about it, that’s also a chore because unlocking cosmetics is super tiduous and can be really hard… Hmm…

    Also playing Legends of Runeterra.

  • sugar_in_your_tea@sh.itjust.works ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

    I played through Gris and had an absolute blast. I finished it in <3 hours, but spent another 3 or so tracking down collectibles (momentos) because the world is so pretty.

    I also played Monument Valley 1&2, each in one sitting. The puzzles weren’t very hard, but I’m a sucker for non-Euclidean worlds (also loved The Bridge and Manifold Garden).

    Other than that, I’ve been playing a bit of Fire Emblem: Engage. I probably won’t finish that before Christmas though, it’s a long game.

    source
    • Berttheduck@lemmy.ml ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

      Gris is such a beautiful game. It’s up there with Journey and Sayonara wild hearts for me in the games I can easily hold up as art category.

      source
      • domi@lemmy.secnd.me ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

        Sayonara Wild Hearts was such an unexpected banger to play through. I still hope they make another one.

        source
      • sugar_in_your_tea@sh.itjust.works ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

        It absolutely is. I try to play 1-2 of these each year, and I have a collection in Steam called “short games” for experiences under 5 hours with something unique to them.

        Some others:

        • Gorogoa
        • What Remains of Edith Finch
        • INSIDE

        They’re all very different, but they fit into that “games as art” category and don’t overstay their welcome.

        I’m not always in the mood for these kinds of games, but when I am, they really scratch that itch.

    Heh, Stardew Valley here. I slept on it for years, until I found that it’s available on the Google Play Store lol.

    Works really well on mobile!!

    source
    • GriffinClaw@lemm.ee ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

      Same. I actually bought it on sale in steam Though Ill most probably stick to mobile + controller for it. PC version is now for mod testing (aka make it mobile-like)

      source
      • supersquirrel@sopuli.xyz ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

        Is the mobile version kept up to date? Does it have multiplayer.
