Another thread! Whatcha all been playing?
The recent news of the Hades II test made me finally really pick it up and try and finish it this last week
Some Sekiro, some X3: Terran Conflict. Taking on a whole squadron of enemies with a single (albeit powerful) ship to calmly dispatch them one by one is just the perfect mix of cozy and power fantasy for me to wind down between the more fast-paced sections of “Let’s chop you down as fast as possible because the longer the fight drags on the more mistakes I’ll make”.
Went back to fallout 4 with the magnum opus mod list. Lots of fun when you don’t pick the male protagonist
Balatro
Number gets big and brain gets happy
Still playing Horizon Forbidden West. I’m close to exploring everything of the base game map. Once I’m done with that, I’ll focus on the rest of the side quests and finally the main story.
I recently played through Miles Morales twice and decided to play the previous Spiderman game. Still having fun, but I’m trying to get to the sections with Miles (he’s my personal favorite). It’s interesting to see the kinds of side quests and mini games they chose to keep in retrospect.
Needed a palet cleanser after binging Baldur’s Gate 3 for the last month and a half, found Nova Drift, very enjoyable bullet hell rougelike.
Eyyyy I love this game, I never could get a good run build going. Maybe it’s time to re-download it
I ended GTA V main story yesterday and while I decide if I want to play the online mode, I’m going to play World of Tanks (which, I discovered, I enjoy way more than War Thunder).
I finished Final Fantasy VII Rebirth a couple days ago after about 110 hours, what a journey!
I’m currently playing a few shmups since I just purchased a (very cheap but perfectly adequate) arcade stick, easy modes for now and “moving up the chain”:
- DoDonPachi Resurrection
- ESP Ra De
- Espgaluda II
- Radiant Silvergun
After that, I’ll probably pick Cyberpunk 2077 back up (only 10 hours in from the free trial a few weeks ago).
I just picked up this game (FF7 remake) for my legion go. Excited to get started with it!
Enjoy! Remake is really great and I’ve heard it runs like a charm on pretty much any recent handheld
Planet Crafter. I am enjoying it, so I played it all weekend.
I’m playing through New Vegas right now after watching the Fallout show. I forgot how fun the game was; I haven’t played it in over a year.
I thought about playing a lot of things. I spent about 2 hours in helldivers 2 and that was about it for the week.
GTA 4. Currently playing TBoGT. I somehow forgot how cool the DLCs were. I’m quite impressed by Luis and the side content added in the DLC. If you squint enough parts of TBoGT already feel a bit like GTA 5. Luis also mentions vice city so I wonder if we’ll see him in GTA 6.
Just finished The Witcher 3, and just started Ori and the Blind Forest.
I’m about to start Witcher 3 for the first time on my next days off work. Picked it up on a really good sale a couple weeks ago, but have been too engrossed with Helldivers 2 lately to actually start playing it.

You are in for a massive adventure! I’m considering doing a New Game+ with a crossbow build, but need some time to unwind after nearly 200 hours on the first playthrough.
I loved Ori 1 and 2. I hope you enjoy as much as I did :)
It’s been frustratingly difficult so far lol. Which is fine, I like a bit of challenge.
I died as many times on the very last level, as in the rest of the game combined 😅
Loved it
I stumbled on some forums where people were saying the tree/water escape took them an hour. That took maybe 5 minutes of trying for me. My biggest opponent was just a regular wall and trying to wall jump up it for an hour. I love how different things are varying difficulty for people.
The tree level has the best music. I decided to die at one point just so I could hear it again
I find that while the difficulty is there, its extremely forgiving in that you can create save points effectively at will so it doesn’t feel like too much of a chore most of the time
Finished the Fallout TV series, so got a hankering to explore those worlds. Decided to start at Fallout 3, level up, then visit all the vaults. We’ll see if how far I make it before losing interest. Also might dona co-play of 1 and 2 with my partner (I control but she makes the decisions). She never played them and it would be great to show her how they have changed.
Finished the main campaign in Midnight Suns. I maintain what I’ve said previously about the dialogue and characterizations bearing heavy MCU fanfic vibes. None of these versions of the characters qualify among my favorite iterations. But hot damn if it isn’t super well balanced, addicting, and fun to play. The 60 or so hours I spent on it went by like a breeze and I still dip in to raise my remaining friendship levels.
I tried out Sifu from PS Plus and am glad I hadn’t ever bought it. Seems like a super cool idea and good execution, but it felt a little like a fighting game with its button pressing combos (plus I hate combos where you have to flick the movement stick around). I also didn’t fancy the idea of having to worry about how old I was gettiing in the early levels and potentially have to play them over again just to lower my age for later level runs. Broke my threshold for punitive tedium.
Now I’m a few hours into Outward, and it’s promising so far. I’m loving the promise of the new stuff I can find and make, although I’m taking it super slow because the power dynamic is (intentionally) very intimidating.
