still Morrowind in XR. having fun just wandering around again.
also Vintage Story. chill minecraft flip but more. wandering around public rooms seeing what is up.
Finally playing through all the Hitman reboots in one go (They’re called 1-2-3, or now “World Of Assassination” for the whole experience, plus paid DLCs for additional missions). I played through all the original Hitman games back in the day.
While you can of course cheese your way through each mission pretty easily (NPC: “Well, he only held that weapon in his hand for less than 2 seconds, so I’ll ignore it.” or “Oh, coins on the ground! Better open that locked door to get to them so that you can follow me inside!”), it actually IS a lot of fun if you deliberately take it slow and discover all the stories that are hidden in each mission. It opens up crafty ways of getting to your targets & entertains much more than just exploiting the game engine’s weaknesses. Truly something for #patientGamers
I’ve been playing some Bomberman.
I feel like I’ve started so many games these past weeks and months but haven’t stuck with any… but I guess nothing new for me really as I never finish games anyway.
I finally got Mario Kart 8 on the switch. It’s a blast playing with my kids and showing no mercy 😈.
I also installed the Jupiter Hell Classic demo (a demake of a remake of a roguelike unmake of Doom.) I enjoy it but similar to Jupiter Hell I’m pretty terrible at it so far. It’s definitely worth a look if you’re a roguelike fan. You can play the original unmake DRL (Doom: the roguelike) for free, or also try the demo for JHC on steam.
Once again trying to do a good redstone in Minecraft. But mostly just mine and chill.
Dysmantle has me looking for skulls and tires to crush.
Started playing Half Life 1. Never played any of the Half Life games before.
As for a recommendation, Chrono Trigger and the Silent Hill games (1-3, including the remake of 2).
I played Black Mesa (HL1 remake) and loved it. I haven’t played HL2 yet though.
Enjoy HL1, it’s a great game, or at least the remake is. I’m assuming the original is good too.
Playing horizon zero dawn atm. Got easy red 2 and battle front 2 and road craft for multiplayer with my group
Sim city 4
Terraria
My son bought Cyberpunk 2077 on sale. I got hooked immediately.
I just started it too. It’s a ton of fun.
Same here. It hit my <$60 AUD buy point for the ultimate edition.
Likewise. I picked up the ultimate edition and a dirt cheap game and that was it. The last few sales I’ve favoured getting a bunch of cheap games rather than one good game on a decent sale, but my backlog is getting out of hand at this point.
Haha same here, backlog is not going well. I made a bunch of folders in steam to organise it though so there’s that.
Crash Nsane trilogy and Stanley parable were cheap so I got those too.
CP2077 now feels like it’s what it was hyped to be before that awful launch, so I’m glad to have waited 5 years.
After finishing Nier Automata in my Switch (quite an awesome port tbh, I cheated a bit as I overclocked my unit to make it run smoother) and Breath of The Wild I am focusing on smaller games, which are:
- Monument Valley (Android)
- Retro City Rampage (PS Vita)
- Pokémon Omega Ruby (almost finished, 3DS).
I haven’t played Retro City Rampage before but Monument Valley was awesome, and so was Omega Ruby.
Been working my way through the achievements for State of Decay 2, I’ve almost got all the supplies gathered up in my community to speedrun through the last two legacies on the hardest difficulty.
It’s a really solid zombie survival, that walks a nice balance of not having standard survival micromanagement. Accessible(fun) combat, and some expression in base/resource management but not to the point where it dominates moment to moment play. Hits the good middle ground of permadeath in terms of losing survivors, but still having a community so you’re not losing all your resources/progress.
I finished my play-through of Skyward Sword HD. Story 10/10, game 7/10, overall 8/10.
Continuing to play through classic Zelda games, I started a play-through of Minish Cap. I played this once before years ago, but I don’t remember any of it. The Minish are so freakin’ cute, I forgot how fun this little game was!
Continued playing Metro 2033 Redux.
