Sun Haven on Switch, it finally got an update to make it playable after 7 months and it’s actually quite fun when you can play it properly.

Picked up the original Hollow Knight on sale a little while back. With the all the buzz around Silksong I finally booted it up, having a blast so far!

My exact experience!

Enjoy! It’s a great game. I’ve been cheating on this community and playing Silksong, it’s a great sequel. It’s one of the rare times I’d recommend buying a game when it’s still new. But definitely play Hollow Knight first, it’s such a great game.

Petition for Silksong to be considered an honorary patient gamer game, given I waited seven years to play it.
BurntWits@sh.itjust.works 5 hours ago
Yeah I’ve been playing Silksong too. Bouncing between that at a replay of Assassin’s Creed Origins whenever I fail on a platforming section too many times.

I feel the description of this community fits me to a tee.
I’m playing Silksong.
BurntWits@sh.itjust.works 5 hours ago
Typically this community is for games that are more than a year old (i.e. you were patient to buy it) but I think Silksong is an exception and I’ll allow it in this community. I’m also playing it so I can’t judge too hard.

Also Silksong released at $20, which is a price point people are often waiting for older games to hit

That previous game I played through was Portal 2. I barely ever buy games on release.
Just that it was kinda funny this one time I’m playing a recent released game.

Coral Island! It's been out a while but they had a major update recently. My farming/crafting life sim stretch continues.

Finally jumped into No Man's Sky.

Heard a song from Wuthering Waves, and it caught me be surprise with how good it was, so I figured I’d give the game a try.
It feels a lot like Genshin Impact, but the world and story feel better, is not Mihoyo, and the voice acting includes the main character. For a F2P experience, it’s been fun going through the initial story. To its detriment, however, there’s three different gacha currencies. Definitely not worth bothering with beyond freebie pulls. Overall, I’d recommend it, but only the free stuff.

I‘ve been playing Legend of Grimrock which had been collecting dust on my account for ovet a decade, and I can now confidently say that these kinda games are not for me lol

I finished Samurai Jack: Battle Through Time and had a good time with it. Short, old-school feeling chill action game. Probably a must-play if you’re a fan of the show, otherwise keep an eye out for Epic giveaways or just pirate it if you think it looks cool. It’s not that long, probably 8 hours or so with some cool looking levels and the combat gets pretty fun once you start unlocking skills.
Being unable to resist my recent hyperfixation I went back and started playing through Ninja Gaiden 2 Black with the White mod installed. Still playing on Warrior to have an apples-to-apples comparison. 6 Chapters in now and it feels like a halfway point between vanilla NG2B and OG NG2 so far. Apart from a handful of fights actually being harder in this version it mostly is easier and less dense in fights. There are still places that are empty where there should be fights, I still turn the corner sometimes expecting a fight I remember and being met with silence instead. Having said that, not every omission is negative - the jellyfish bombs in Venice for example I didn’t really miss.
Also - and I can’t understate this - the game is fucking beautiful. Not only is it visually stunning with the lighting and the blood physics and textures and raytracing and 120 FPS - it is also impressive from an art direction standpoint. It feels just like the original, only sharper. It looks like what the original looked like in my head when I thought back on it. Sometimes remasters or remakes lose the original identity, but here they absolutely nailed it.
So far I’m having a blast with it, even though it doesn’t quite deliver that “playable cocaine” vibe that the original was constantly feeding you.

Still making my way through Skies of Arcadia Legends. Just arrived at Yafutoma but the game is such a slog sometimes with the random encounters :(
Also chilled out and played a little bit of Beat Hazard*.

Finally booted up no man’s sky, after owning it for actual years (picked up for I think 10€ at most at the time). There’s recently been an update, reminding me that it exists. It’s maybe a bit grindy, but over all I’ve had quite a bit of fun in the 50 or so hours I’ve put in so far.
BurntWits@sh.itjust.works 3 hours ago
A lot of people have been talking about that game recently. I messed around with it a few years back but never more than half a dozen hours or so. Maybe I’ll check it out again.

When POE2 came out, I played it for a couple hours, hated it, and went back to Diablo 4. I saw it at PAX a week ago and thought I’d give it a try again since I quit D4 and was jonesing for that fix. It’s doing pretty well so far. I’m in Act 3.

Persona 5 Royale on Steam Deck. JRPGs and handhelds are a match made in heaven. My only complaint is every time I think that I’ve escaped the tutorial, there’s more tutorial lol.

Ace Combat 7 but maybe I’ll go back to Ace Combat Horizon Legacy +… I always seem to find later titles in a series and end up playing them in confusing parallel.
BlazBlue Entropy Effect. This one has been fun and weird. I jumped into it because of the Dead Cells collab and that content feels almost like it could be a Dead Cells 2. This game took a while for me to understand what’s going on. I like the gameplay a lot, not so much the overworld stuff.
Record of Lodoss War: Deedlit in Wonder Labyrinth. I went back to this game and realized that I gave up on the first boss months ago. Might try to beat that boss or I might just start it over. This game is a lot like Blade Chimera (same engine, I think. definitely the same team) but I have nostalgia for Lodoss stuff so I picked it up last year.

BlazBlue mention. I think it’s funny how non fighting game people are getting into bb entropy effect (BlazBlue is a pretty old fighting game series and entropy effect is a recent spin off made by a 3rd party)

Oddly, I got into EE because I like the fighting games a lot. I was kind of bummed that EE seems to have nothing to do with the rest of the titles. I shouldn’t be, however, because there’s BlayzBloo on the NDS and Clone Fantasma on the 3DS. Neither have any real story but feature the characters as well.
Side note: I badly wish that the Legion 1.5 mode in BlazBlue Contiuum Shift II was available on other releases. It’s my favorite mode but the d-pad on the 3DS wears my thumb out. I would love to be able to use my leverless controller. Perhaps emulation is the way to go for that one.

I’m really enjoying shadow legend VR it came out in 2019 and the devs released arken age recently so i checked out their older work. It’s really good and i can definitely see the arken age DNA in shadow legend!

I just finished Strange Horticulture a few days ago. It was really fun! Not too long as well. It looks like a shop sim, but it's a puzzle game.
After that I started Two Point Hospital. I used to play Theme Hospital a lot in my youth so this hits all the right spots.
Both were recently free on Epic.
