I picked up "Mafia: Definitive Edition" cheap the other day (I've linked it on Steam as it's still on sale for the next few days).

I was a fan of Mafia (the original from 2002) and felt it was cheap enough to give it a shot and I'm glad I did: besides the infamous/arduous racing level I found it to be very enjoyable overall.

I was sad to see that there wasn't any "Freeride Extreme" in the latest version (this was bonus, fun, ludicrous content, available after completing the game) as it would have been a nice addition, the "Freeride" mode is likewise a little lackluster but the actual campaign is great.

What was the last game you finished? Was it any good?

I just beat OneShot yesterday. It was beautiful, Niko is so cute! Also, the story was interesting and very meta. It had some very neat game mechanics too. Excellent game.

I'm currently playing COD Black ops 2 for the first time and it's pretty good (campaign)

[-] Onaltau@lemm.ee 3 points 1 year ago

Hell yeah! Have you played World at War or Black Ops 1? (They were my favourite, but 2 was very enjoyable - especially zombies). Good luck out there!

Don't laugh, I'm old: Fahrenheit. But Mafia was great, too. Witcher - almost. Loved the alien game with Ripley's daughter too, forgot the name, something Sevastopol station. But that's it for me in the last 20 years (!) I wish they would emphasize a good story more, but I guess that's (graphic) novels for.

It's called "Alien: Isolation", the Working Joe robots were terrifying, lol!

Terraria, by beating the Moon Lord on master mode. Oh, I'll be back, because I love playing it on the Steam Deck, and it's probably my most played game ever apart from TF2. Sadly, that game has aged badly.

Alan Wake 1 and The American Nightmare follow-up. I'm also playing through control again now.

I wanna catch up before going into AW2, but I heard American Nightmare isn't cannon anymore so that may have been a bit of a waste of time.

Tomb Raider 2013. Love that game. It's a mystery to me how they were able to croft (allow me this pun!) such a good story for that game but not able to repeat it in the later games. Even though their graphics is undoubtedly better, they feel like blant, nonsensical, un-mysterious clones

Pikmin 4 was great. 10/10. Especially since 3 was so short, was good that this one took a lot longer to 100%. Mario Wonder is OK.

[-] nogooduser@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

I’ve had a VR run recently and finished Red Matter 1, Moss 2 and Red Matter 2.

All excellent games.

Final Fantasy XVI about 3 or 4 weeks ago. It is a very satisfying, increasingly fun, game. I love how the story was told and the progression of the combat system which continues to give you more options without getting more complicated. And it was actually a complete story unlike XV. I'd put it in the mid top half of Final Fantasy games I've played.

I played and finished Dredge. It's a fishing horror game, but a surprisingly relaxing experience! Very recommended. You go out with your boat in search of that rare catch. But at night you have to be careful of going crazy. Nice story too.

Sleeping dogs for the second time. Wasn't bothered to collect all of the stuff after doing the story as I've other things to play.

It was good fun for the few days while I played it

[-] kratoz29@lemm.ee 3 points 1 year ago

I just finished Barman Arkham Knight and I am still processing it, hopefully The Suicide Squad game is at least something similar to this 🥲

Heretics Fork, very fun little indie game

[-] Toneswirly@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

Iron Lung, perfect short-form horror.

[-] quinkin@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

Smallands

If you like co-op survival style games it's pretty good. Not yet complete though which was a shame when we got to the end of the content.

I recently played through the Minecraft modpack FTB's Sky Factory 3 with three of my friends. Technically you don't really finish it per se, but we got to a point where we couldn't do much else without excessive levels of grinding and collectively decided we were happy to call it quits.

It was a lot of fun. I've never been a fan of playing other modpacks because they often focus on Minecraft's weakest points (combat is a big one). SF3 on the other hand focuses on what are, IMO, two of Minecraft's biggest strengths, creativity and the grind. Saying we were somewhat addicted would be an understatement, as I alone managed to put 144 hours (6 days!) in the game in around 2 weeks. And that was just me, my poor computer got left on almost every other night so friends could play on the server while I slept.

It was quite different from vanilla Minecraft which helped everyone avoid the burnout that vanilla+ packs usually cause for us. 8/10, probably wouldn't play it again, but the whole group had a solid two weeks of a fun new experience at the nice price of $0.

It was not Starfield

[-] FrostKing@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

Last finished was Super Metroid. Tons of fun

[-] RampantParanoia2365@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

I just finished Spider-Man 2. Next, I will finish Spider-Man 2.

[-] Maestro@kbin.social 2 points 1 year ago

I recently finished Diablo 3 (finished the campaign, then went into adventure mode and played until I got sub 3 minutes GR 90 runs). And yesterday I finished the main storyline for Q.U.B.E. Anniversary Edition. Now working my way through the bonus sector 8.

[-] Nephalis@discuss.tchncs.de 2 points 1 year ago

I almost never finish any game because I am sick of quests and (modern) stories or the way they are told in general. Because of that, I mostly play games without a definitiv ending. But my last "story" ending was Diablo 4 and I haven't liked it. It can hardly be caled an ending... Moreover I was happy that I finaly finished the story, so I was able to see what the game will be after it... It was also pretty disappointing. So I started another char in PoE again 😃

Before this I guess it was "It takes two" and it was great.

I tend not to finish most games because I am almost constantly leaping from one to another (or playing games that you can't really beat), but I think the last one I played to completion was probably Cyberpunk 2077 around the time of release: Despite the criticism, I enjoyed the game quite a bit and the ending I did on my first playthrough was pretty damn bleak and soul-crushing.

Been meaning to play it again after all the patching and now that there's an expansion, I might actually get around to it one of these days... So many games, so little time.

After Tears of the Kingdom I got a few cheap games. The ones I finished from among them were The Last Campfire, Arise: a Simple Story and Aspire: Ina's Tale. Each one was worth the $2-3 I spent for them. I could see myself replaying TLC or Aspire. Arise was ok to do once but it's too emotional for me to want to replay.

[-] Hyrulian@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

Spider-Man 2, it's was the cookie cutter definition of a safe sequel. More of the first game, but marginally bigger and better. Combat felt improved, web wings made traversal more fun, story was taken up a notch (though I still think I prefer the first games overall). I kinda just felt like my time with the game was a little too short for seventy dollars. Honestly just another couple side quest lines would have been enough to make it reach the playtime that I would have expected. I did really enjoy it. It is a better game than the first one. 16hrs is just a little too short for this kind of game I think. I am very hopeful for the DLC and I'm really happy with where they took the story. I need to go back and complete the collectathon stuff, but I have seen some of the Spider Shots you get for them and I'm not super interested really. Most seven out of ten game I have finished this year.
