The kind of game you daydream about while at school or work because you can’t wait to come home and play some more.
I totally binged Alan Wake 1 in like 2 days. Then spent a while enveloped by Alan Wake 2! Part 2 really got the AAA treatment. It was funny, spooky, actiony. Lots of stuff to explore, the characters play differently.
I also didn’t realize Control was part of the story, so now I gotta go play that!
I did the opposite and played Control first, so now I have the Alan Wake stuff to play.
Control is great. In my top 5.
Ingress. I was obsessed with it. Couldn’t stop playing.
I was trying to think of a PC game until I saw your comment. It’s totally Ingress for me too. I was hooked and my area (Chicago burbs) had a very active player base. The ops and competition were intense! I really enjoyed the real-world tactical shit, closest I’ll ever get to feeling like I was part of a military operation.
I still play it too, but not like before. It’s a great way to kill time and explore new places. I think I’m level 12, almost 13, and I’m lazily working towards more badges. I don’t understand what the red faction is all about and the other new stuff.
Same. I rocked that game for a year before Pokemon Go came out. It was insanely addictive. I would walk like 3-5 miles a day and I’d take way too many breaks at work to go hit the portals by my office.
Family trips were awkward. I would make detours and hide the reason but just pointed out there was something awesome they should see.
I also took part in global ops where I let irl with other players to move keys.
When I think about it the real life component of that game is amazing.
I participated in a few anomalies, both as support and an on ground person hitting the objectives. Shit was rad, man. I met a couple cool people and even business contacts through it.
GTA 4 modded the new dxvk update made it run amazingly on PC
Rain World.
I have some spoilers (including the gist of the ending) but am playing as blind as I can manage. It’s nice to just play and discover without having a guide by my side.
Dirt Rally 2.0 with Force feedback wheel and pedals.
Ugh, I just can’t get enough of it. Who needs crack when you have sim racing?
Modded Factorio and elden ring.
The factory must grow! Im over 1700h help me
There is no help. The factory is the only thing there is. I am not even on 1500 hours yet but sometimes i just need a mental break from the game and that period varies… Greatly. I always come back and longing so much for the expansion.
What do you mean “a mental break from the game” the factory must grow!
My poor brain can only take so much abuse from more advanced mods. When i look at what i have to build next and I see that it will be days of building without reaping the reward, my brain says “not today”.
But yes, the factory is always growing if not in the computer, it is in my brain.
Before Helldivers? Lethal company.
Are you me?
Right now, Death Stranding.
Edit: I went back to look at the reception of this game from at its release. It did great at the VGAs, but general consensus on Reddit and other forums negative. I also remember how much The Giant Beastcast shat on that game (I stopped listening to them pretty soon after that too, but for unrelated reason).
Signalis. Which is weird, its over in 10 hours but I got hooked on the fandom crack until recently.
Last one was dark souls 3… But now it is Voices of the Void.
Dragons Dogma 2
- story: garbage
- storytelling: garbage
- performance: garbage
- CAPCOM: garbage
But I tell you what, the world, exploration and gameplay they’ve put together, it’s all A+.
I turned it to Japanese voices so I didn’t have to hear the god awful English voice acting and it’s improved my experience a lot
I hope they add a localization patch so I can change it to something fun like Spanish or German
I’ve spent a ridiculous amount of time with Balatro, the Steam Deck is Dangerous…
I really enjoyed the game, until it came to beating it on the harder difficulties. I lost steam when I had all the decks unlocked except for the ones that require bearing the higher difficulties. I did normal, and the next harder one.
Use the checkered deck lol it’s like cheat mode for the higher stakes.
Was just telling my friends, had one of those instances where I lost a run, so I closed the game with the intent of going to go so something else, then found myself opening it again 2 minutes later… so addictive
I get angry at the game and instead of turning it off, I switch decks…
I’ll have to try balatro after I finish minishoot.
Elderborn. In its own words, a METAL AF SLASHER. Kind of like a first person souls-like. rolled straight out of beating it into a new game+
This looks right up my alley but unfortunately it’s not on PlayStation!
The studio that makes those games, makes the best in their genre and is somehow punching above their weight. I got Elderborn too after playing Postal Brain Damaged and was impressed.
Everybody likes different genres, and this one probably wouldn’t be mine, but it was entrancing and I basically immediately poured all my free time into it too. Totally worth the buy.
These days I’m more of a boomer shooter dude, but the trailer hooked me and I regret nothing. Haven’t tried the newest Postal yet. Played postal 2 back in the day. blood west is likely next up for me.
Devs like Hyperstrange and New Blood are killing it these days, in a time when the big devs are laying off entire teams. It’s amazing what happens when you have smaller devs who are focused on the games and not chasing number-go-up.
As New Blood says, “We love you. We hate money.”
I only played Postal Brain Damaged because I liked 2 so much, and that’s how I found out about boomer shooters to begin with!
As for Postal 4… Would not recommend. Sadly.
