I’m enjoying Control. It’s pretty good fun to play, but the story has really grabbed me.
Hope sequel will be as good as first one
I finished Nine Sols last month and I can’t recommend it enough. Aside from being a great metroidvania all around: great art, great music, great combat… I was most surprised by how good the story is. The world they built is really cool. Also, it’s currently on sale. Would recommend.
forgotten city! a masterpiece of storytelling
I got the notification that it’s on sale now. I’m buying it today and can’t wait to play it when I get the time
Great! don’t read anything about the game, don’t watch previews, don’t do anything except play the game - your in for a treat.
Indeed the game is very good.
I LOOOOVED that game.
Been playing for the first time Disco Elysium, but also have Kingdom Come:Deliverance and Titanfall 2 (Although I played it already 6 years ago) installed on my PC after getting them on deep sale recently.
Started playing Factorio again with a friend, been fun so far. Just today I played Tooth and Tail again which is really cool, as well as Skullgirls Second Encore which I’m not great at but is still fun.
On the Deck, Skyrim with mods and specifically beyond Skyrim Bruma. I have figured out how to install mods and you can sink a lot of hours in good ol’ Skyrim.
I also play Life is Strange: True Colours on the Deck.
Additionally the farmer was replaced is a fun little Python like game where you need to write Python like code to automate the manual labor on your farm. But this I play on the desktop.
Battlefield Bad Company 2 (from 2010)
It’s still very much playable in multiplayer! If you happen to have a copy - via “Project Rome” you litterally just have to drop one file from them into the game folder and boom - you got a working server browser again! I forgot how incredible the sound design in this game is.
People are still playing? That’s tempting, I still haven’t found something that hits the spot this game did.
Yeah I was surprised as well. There is not an overwhelming amount of players, but the last few days there were consistently 2-4 servers with close to 32 people online.
Is this on pc? I can’t imagine servers are up on xbox right?
Ah yeah afaik Project Rome is PC only. Probably not so easy to make this possible on xbox / consoles
Aw man I forgot about the sound design. I am tempted to try this.
BattleBit Remastered
I’m not sure if it counts for patient gaming but it’s super lightweight and so damn fun.
I just soft modded my old PS2 so I could boot game backups from a network share. So I’m playing Gran Turismo 3, NFS underground 2, Tony hawk’s Pro skater 4, NBA street vol. 2, and GTA: San Andreas. Basically everything and anything my teenage self loved at the time.
DOOM (2016). I originally got it when it came out, I wasn’t very patient then, but largely played multiplayer. I’ve been playing the campaign this time around and I’m enjoying it quite a bit.
Persona 5 Royale. Its my first time playing a persona game and also my first JRPG. Currently 20 hours in. The lawyer woman is really funny.
HyperRogue. The lack of statted items means less time thinking andore time playing. Same complaint as many rogue likes though, it lacks a save and quit. I don’t care if it makes save scumming possible, it’s shitty to force people to finish a game in one sitting.
Pokémon Emerald, and PixelJunk monsters.
Just installed Word of Goo 2
It’s really good, much recommend.
Replaying Kingdom Come: Deliverance, but this time no save scumming and on the Steam Deck. It’s really good, but the slight vibe of sexism bugs me.
Also playing the excellent Tactical Breach Wizards.
