Just finished playing Darkwood. Was a very unique little game.
Planning on playing Baurotrauma or Zomboid next if I can wrangle some friends
Darkwood is definitely an experience. One of the few games that’s ever managed to get under my skin. Are you hyped for the sequel?
Absolutely will be playing it haha. Interested to see how they’ll improve it. Got a slight bit completionist/grindy by the end once I “figured it out”. But sometimes that’s the nature of survival games where you feel like you gotta gather every last scrap
Yeah, I feel that. I think Darkwood really benefits from the semi-permadeath of Hard mode to keep the tension and fear up (even though I was too much of a wuss to go through with that). But even without the atmosphere was just so unsettling.
Just finished mazebound and loved it, short janky game but it has its charm, really fun with a friend.
Grim Dawn has me fully engaged. Some of the class combos are sooooo goooood!
I’m on the last mission of the Assassin’s Creed: Bloodlines on PSP
I’ve been mostly playing on the PSP during my commute to work and back. The game itself is fine and my first of the series actually, but it feels like a cheap spin-off (and it is) on a mobile console.
I must be on a kick for hyper action roguelike shooters rn.
I just got Sektori and it’s giving me locked-in syndrome in the best way. I can just play one run after another indefinitely. It’s so immersive and satisfying like the best Housemarque games like Resogun and Returnal.
Also playing a lot of RoboQuest. That’s another one that I can just turn on and make two hours disappear. The pacing never lets up while the huge selection of fun weapons keeps me experimenting constantly.
I’m still grinding away on Nuclear Throne too. There’s something about the game loop that feels just right to pick up a quick game. I keep getting a little further each time.
I picked back up with Cult of the Lamb. I’m playing it on extreme accessibility settings because I don’t want to hassle too much with the cult management stuff or the combat – I just want to see where the story goes.
Sektori looks insane but absolutely overstimulating. Looks super good but I don’t think I’d ever be able to cope with something like that. Made me think of something though. Not a twin stick shooter but if you like those sensory overload high pace shooters maybe you’d get a kick out of HYPER DEMON?
Having just finished Ace Combat 8, I have gone back to a classic: KOTOR ll.
IRON NEST
if you’re autistic it’s bombastic, a good little game.
Also, wardogs
I discovered that my enter the gungeon save didnt survive moving to linux, so im restoring it the hard way
By playing?
Yup
God speed
Just finished Dark Messiah. Loved it.
Now maybe I’ll go with Dishonored 2, to keep the Arkane vibe going.
Nice, just finished Dishonored 2 like two weeks ago, great game. Better flow than the first one, little less interesting story-wise. Anyway, enjoy.
I’m liking it very much. I find the choice you have to make early on (play as Corvo or Emily) will make want to play this twice. Nice touch.
I started a playthrough of Sherlock Holmes: The Awakened (2008).
Earlier this year I did play through the 2023 remake of it, and I wanted to go back and see how the (almost) original game was.
I’m now through the first chapter of the 2008-version, and so far… it’s pretty great! Admittedly I did few .ini tweaks to fix it for widescreen & 4k, it works fine (even if some characters/assets on the very edges of the viewport can blink in/out a bit). Too bad the 2008 version has fixed the “creepy Watson” teleporting, but oh well, at least I don’t get unnescessarily jumpscared.
Other than that, the graphics are quite dated, but they have certain charm. The puzzles seem fairly reasonable, if a bit pixel-hunt-y at times. The vibes are great all around though!
Still have not gotten much time to play the newest update of No Man’s Sky… does that count? It is over 10 years old, but gets regular content updates.
You just caused me psychic damage. Was sure there was no way NMS was older than 5-6 years. Getting ready to set it up for VR today to check out the new update myself.
Cosmos was their 10 year anniversary update and expedition.
It’s personally too much, I can’t concentrate on any of the bazillion new mechanics.
CP2077…on sale for $20 finally trying it
Thief 2: The Metal Age. It feels like the ancestor to the Dishonored series. Arguability one of the first stealth game.
It absolutely is. Thief is generally mentioned in the same breath as Deus Ex as the founding fathers of imsims.
I am now completely addicted to vampire survivors
Heaven’s Vault! They announced a writing contest and a tabletop role-playing game Kickstarter so that’s cool. I’ll never get another video game. I must accept this, alas.
Excellent adventure game.
I get so excited every time an artifact has something written on it, and get so sad whenever Aliyah is like ”They put nothing on here”!
