I’ve been having a lot is f fun with Green Hell, which was on sale recently. It has a surprisingly good story for a survival game that gets better the further along the game.
There’s one very annoying bug though. If you save, harvest something, die and reload, the resource does not respawn. This can really screw you over if you get an infection, you find and harvest some medicinal plant and then still die because it took you too long to find. Because when you reload, the plant you finally found is gone and now you need to find another, even further away!
Trying to finish Hades epilogue, it’s pretty grindy tbh. Afterward might be Factorio space age.
I gave Darkest Dungeon a try yesterday and it’s been a lot of fun. I love the whole premise of “getting the best of a bad situation” and learning to pass on with any mistakes and misfortune. Dealing with your inner perfectionist is a valuable skill and this game teaches you just that.
Replaying Undertale since it’s been a few years. This game still holds up and still makes me emotional in most ways. Forever worth recommending.
mildly addicted to mini motorways is all I’m willing to admit
Stardew Valley and Ys origin.
With Stardew, It started on mobile, grew with an old Bluetooth xbone controller for combat, moved on to PC for the mods, and am now learning modding to add some things I missed from the mobile version 😁
Ys origin for when I want a break from Stardew. Simple demon bashing is quite therapeutic.
Ys Origin is one of my favorite games. :)
I’m just wrapping up my first playthrough of Fallout 3. I’m not “done” but I finished the main storyline and am starting to lose steam with side quests and DLC. So I may wind up putting it down soon.
But I really enjoyed it. I’ll probably play something else for a while, then give New Vegas a try.
My spouse and I started Terraria on a whim. After going in blind and thoroughly getting out butts kicked the first night, we found the wiki, started a new game, and have survived a few nights now.
We’re trying to avoid spoilers, so only read the tutorial and getting started pages of the wiki. The mechanics on xbox aren’t always intuitive, and building is especially painful so far.
Terraria is one of my favorite games ever! I’ve been playing it on and off since 2011.
In case you missed them, the guide has some extremely helpful dialogue options. At least on PC. I can’t imagine they’d leave that out of the Xbox version.
I’ve been playing Dead Space remake on PS5 since it was free last month. Still haven’t beaten it yet as I’ve had very little time. Been loving it though. Just hope I finish by the time the Christmas season starts in earnest haha. Kind of conflicting vibes.
Been wanting to play this soooo bad.
Definitely pickong it up after Ys.
The remake is soo good. They really nailed it. Kept the good bits and updated the bad. They even fixed the asteroids turret section, it’s actually really fun in the remake.
Lair of the Clockwork God
I will probably also try Hogwarts Legacy next week when my kids get out of school for Thanksgiving.
I’m also going to try Fire Emblem: Engage on Switch, it’s been a while since I played a Fire Emblem game.
I picked up the PC version of Alan Wake. Heard a lot of hype and it connects to Control. Gameplay is… Idk. Aim and shoot at dark monsters. I do like the effect around the enemies though.
Then I found out my Switch is not fried, so ive continued my Tears of the Kingdom save after beating it. There’s just so much to do in the game it’s a lot of fun.
I picked up darkest dungeon and all of the expansions for real cheap, really like the artwork in that game
The artwork is cool. But the game itself is too difficult for me.
I haven’t played it, but my wife thought it was too difficult, also.
However, I was talking to a coworker and he mentioned that one of the DLCs really ramped up the difficulty, so she should try it without that particular DLC (sorry, I don’t recall which one).
Anyway, she turned off that DLC and found it much more playable. In fact, I’m pretty sure she went on to finish it.
So if you’re keen to give it another go, you might try it without whichever DLC it is that makes it harder.
Thanks. Im apparently a wimp though and don’t even have any DLCs for it lol
