Board, card, or video games - what’s being played this week?
My bass.
Tears of the Kingdom every evening since it arrived. It’s so good.
My steam deck is gathering dust somewhere, barely used since I got it!
Lol I played totk on my deck before switching to my PC because I don’t have a steam dock.
I played Thrive, a sort of open source, more realistic version of Spore. It’s really impressive how far they’ve come from an ‘impossible dream’ to an actual functional game, albeit one with only one stage. However, as I mostly played Microbe and Creature stage in the original Spore anyway, that’s like half the game to me.
Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom
I’ve done the 4 regional phenomena and all the geoglyphs, I’m clearing off some side quests before continuing (finishing?)
Not sure why but I bounced off of Tears hard. I played and finished Breath, but within 5 hours I’d had my fill with TotK.
Suspect it’s a me thing more than the game.
I think it is a great game - I’m loving the sandbox feel and the “anything goes” way of traversing the map, solving problems etc - but I admit it doesn’t have the same sense of wonder and immersion (I think?) as BOTW somehow.
It’s also the first time I’ve made use of any item duplication glitches (it seems like the only “fun” / non-grindy way of making use of the new building mechanic) so maybe that, plus being able to just fly around everywhere on DIY contraptions, has taken some of the fun / point out of wandering around the map 🤷♂️
I’ve been playing disco Elysium, after the latest video from upisnotjump really enjoying it
@snake_case this is one of those games I bought on steam after everyone raved about it but I keep putting of starting it
Bloodborne on the PS5. Never played it before but after falling down the Elden Ring hole last year I’m slowly working my way through the From series. I beat Sekiro over Christmas, now I’ve got this in my sights.
Also thinking of starting up a smaller, less… mentally draining game to play on nights where I just want to kick back and relax after the kids have gone to bed. Any suggestions?
Trying to play though ff16 but it’s so difficult because it’s so awfull.
It’s not ff, it’s not an RPG and the performance is terrible and the side quests are dull.
Im renting it and I may just send it back before even finishing it.
Finally started Mario Odyssey after getting a Switch last xmas from my ex, and I’ve got to say I’m loving it. Otherwise on PC I’m rotating between Battlefield 4, Rust and Mudrunner at the moment
Mario Odyssey is genuinely amazing. It’s like they just got everyone together and said “ok let’s take everything we’ve learned over decades, pick just the most absolute pure FUN mechanics and systems, and shove them all together to make the funnest game ever”.
Just bought the War of the Ring board game - my partner and I are in for a loooong Saturday.
Just started on the Mass Effect LE for the very first time - after spending waaaaay too long trying to make Shepherd look deccent, I’m finally underway and enjoying so far!
Playing wow only this time I’m making an army lol. Got dragonflight but seem to get to lol 60 and then think ill try a different class and delete my character. The gf plays he’ll at me for doing this been doing it for the past year or 2 .
So decided make one of every class and level them all up
Been 100%ing teardown, also trepang2. and some other games like the escapists, been trying to finish Subnautica, cyberpunk 2077 (my computer cries when I play it)
Edit: just remembered new payday 2 dlc came out, gonna go play that, ive heard its amazing
Dixit
My 4 year old learned about Pokémon Go recently I started playing it again after about 4 year hiatus, haha I stopped playing about the time she was born 🤣
Love TTRPGs (table top role playing games) - for the last few years, mainly playing Wanderhome! No dice, everyone has equal control over what happens. It’s awesome!
