Hades. I’m not a fan of rogue-like games, but this one is awesome! I bought it second time on a different platform and trying to beat it on 100% again. I think for me one of the most appealing things of that game isdesign. Like, it’s done amazingly well, “with love and care” one would say
For me it is Hades as well. Impulse purchase and I like so far. I’m progressing very slowly though. Still hesitant to active Godmode.
Can’t wait for Hades 2. Perfect game to get a run or two in when you don’t have hours at a time to dedicate to some gaming.
Hades is so cool, what’s the highest heat you’ve played?
16 so far, just to get the Skelly’s achievement. On my second playthrough I decided that I want to get that game to 100% both achievement-wise and content-wise, so I’m working on bonds with all characters at that moment
Replaying Hellblade. I absolutely loved it on my first play-through a couple of years back, and I’m excited to go through it again.
The sound design on that game is amazing.
Hollow Knight - started last week and got through initial frustration, now I’m enjoying it and expect to love it by the end!
Ahh another game I need to finish! My track record with Metroidvanias is terrible.
It’s an amazing game, you end up feeling quite immersed. I love it.
Personally, I’m not a big fan of metroidvanias, but HK is the best metroidvania I’ve ever seen
This weekend I managed to get in some time with Boltgun and Signals. Apparently I was in need of chunky pixels.
Botgun - Warhammer 40,000 boomer-shooter nonsense. Signals - Dead space but Silent Hill via the inventory management from RE (6 slots are enough for anyone, right?)
Signalis is a masterpiece that will not get out of my brain. And I’m not even big into survival horror.
I just finished signalis today. What do you think about games with abstract/obscure style of narrative? Where you have to speculate a lot, fill the gaps yourself and maybe, ultimately, getting out without any clear picture, about wtf happened there at all lol?
It’s one of those types of games. I personally tend to like them. Pathologic, for example, is one of most special gaming experiences for me. But after finishing Signalis, I felt mostly frustrated with how incoplete the story was - I haven’t even managed to feel any connection with the protagonist and her goal.
Anyway, yeah, it’s a great game, that will definitely live in my head for some days, but it’s a shame the story didn’t click for me.
Yeh, I don’t know how far in I am, probably not very, I just entered the mines. I suspect much of the plot is passing me by. Though understanding German is probably a help.
The plot not making much sense is very Silent Hill. You basically needed to get a secret ending to have any idea at all what was going on in SH1. Got the same vibe here.
But I’m happy soaking up the atmosphere and looking at the freaky shit.
I’m not the most patient gamer, and usually I would skip story/lore related notes in games, and even main story cutscenes. Here I was kinda invested.
I looked through the wiki for a couple of hours, and I got the impression, that even the connections between the main story bits are just fans’ speculations. But anyway, I think, it would be a good idea to recollect the facts on your own, read about the references and build your own picture first before checking online - I feel like I kinda spoiled it for myself a bit by rushing to the wiki.
I always read in game notes, but still often don’t pick up on thing’s in games, partly because I’m terrible with names. Not going to spoil it for myself, at least until I’ve finished it and tried to come up with my own interpretation.
I’ve read for years that Prey (2017) was a game you do no research on and just go in blind. My goodness I’m glad I did. Love the game so far at about 2 hours in
I wasn’t super keen on the mimics at the start, but the game just kept getting better and better.
I’ve started Mooncrash but it’s on hiatus at the moment, until I find more time or tick another couple of games off the list.
FF6. Not playing the pixel remaster, but the “Ted Woosley Uncensored” patch with bug fixes. I’ve tried many times to play this, and I’m now the furthest I’ve ever been through it! Have also started Ratchet and Clank Rift Apart on PS+, and I really should be playing that before it inevitably gets removed, but I’m sticking with FF6.
Spiritfarer - it took me years to get around to playing it. It’s quite lovely!
Lovely is definitely the right word. Been meaning to go back, there was a character added since I played last.
Been playing through Cult of the Lamb mostly. It’s pretty good aside from some repetitiveness involving your cult management and dungeons, but it’s still got a nice amount of variety to it. Quests are super easy to just ignore if you don’t feeling like completing them too. Looking forward to finishing it soon.
No one said running a cult was going to be easy.
I’ve been playing Shapez that I picked up for $3 the other week. It’s like a chill factorio, so it scratches that itch for me. Apparently they’re working on a sequel, so maybe I’ll play that next decade when it’s on sale.
Interesting. It seems there is a Shapez 2 coming.
That Persona 3 Reload trailer has got me thinking about Atlus games again, so I’m gonna finally check out Catherine.
It really seems like the right level of weird so far.
WAIT PERSONA 3 RELOAD TRAILER? WHAT??
Please do not be messing with me right now…
It’s been announced yesterday, but most of the fanbase already saw the leaks since Friday
FYI, it’s a remake of base P3, so no FES or Portable content. Knowing Atlus, that will come in P3RR a year later and be exclusive to iOS.
Wow, just saw the trailer, it looks good! My boy Makoto’s 3D model finally looking as good as the official art makes him. Is there a SMT/Persona community on Lemmy yet?
Knowing Atlus, that will come in P3RR a year later and be exclusive to iOS.
Do not put that out into the world, you know that’ll actually happen T_T
I don’t think Lemmy’s big enough for niche communities like a SMT specific one.
Catherine is great, though I only played Classic and not Full Body. It takes itself more seriously than you’d except from the marketing (edit: the romantic stuff I mean; the rest of the game is funny AF), and the animation is great.
Though of all things, I remember it because it remixes classical music, which made the endgame ridiculous in a good way.
Atlus blessing us for the next year. And P6 down the pipeline.
Kingdom Come: Deliverance. I had it on PC before but never finished it so I got in on the XBOX sale as I find it more comfortable to play on the sofa.
It’s pretty good so far although the save system is irritating.
I hope we get a sequel announced soon.
Sniper Elite 4, lots of stealthy snipey fun.
X4 Foundations with Star Wars mod, inspired by finishing Star Wars Rebels.
Dying Light The Following DLC, playing co-op with a friend. Fun game, nice game world, difficulty is sorta unpredictable. Sometimes we get one-shotted other times we are parkour battle gods.
Wreckfest, always fun to go smash up some cars and win some races.
Star Wars KOTOR2, learned recently of the more or less essential community patch that will not be making it to the Switch, that reminded me I never finished the game. Pretty sure I finished KOTOR a long time ago.
I had a lot of fun playing the Sniper Elite 4 campaign with a buddy. Looks like it could be solid flying solo too. How are you playing it?
Playing it solo but I’ve had a lot of fun coop with other versions. Solo is good because you can take as much time as you want.
Ah I should get back to SE4. I started it, then turned back to play SE3 to go to 4 then maybe buy 5 but I stalled halfway. The game is very fun!
Wreckfest is the best simcade racing game of recent years. I had more fun racing online with it than even Forza Horizon 5.
I might start Crysis 1
That is mighty patient. 👍
I’ve been playing BOTW since around the release of TOTK and I’m really enjoying it. A lot more than I thought I would. It’s so much fun to explore this world, and I’ve had this game for years!
Other than that, I keep firing up the good old Dawn of War Soulstorm and Men of War Assault Squad 2. Love me some matches against the AI to relax
I started playing through the old MG/MGS games! MGSV is one of my favorite games of all time so I decided to go back and play through all of them that I can on my Vita. Been messing around in armored core 3 there as well.
