Actually finished my first run of Baldurs gate after leaving it in act 3 over the holidays. Picked up Disco Elysium to give a bit of a break while I decide whether to do a second run or not

Go evil next time, you get some different companions and stories. How's Disco?

Been working on Demon's Souls remake. I bought the original when it first came out but never finished it. In fact, I didn't even like it. I've come around to loving souls games and Bluepoint has done a FANTASTIC job with DS, it feels so good to play compared to the original which had a really floaty feel that I hate. I really hope they get to remaster Bloodborne in the future, I haven't played that one at all.

Been playing Sons of the Forest. Visually stunning, this is good looking game. I like how it can be played as a shooter or an adventure or base building or combination of all three. The map is huge, backstory mysterious and the atmosphere is incredibly immersive, particularly in the caves which are creepy AF.

How does it compare with the original Forest? I liked that game, but after you explore all of the caves there's not much to do. Building is fun, but I think some stronger enemies were needed.

[-] BilboBargains@lemmy.world 1 points 8 months ago

It's an improvement. The enemies continually increase in strength and number. More weapons and the map is bigger. I'm avoiding using the cheat maps for the most part and it feels like it would take a very long time to complete. I'm playing it on normal difficulty.

The game is still in beta for another month and building options are somewhat limited, which I assume will be expanded. If you liked the original, this one makes a lot of sense.

Great, thanks for the info. I'll give it a go at some point :)

I'm getting back into battletech recently. The story is decent, and I just love the mechanics. I just got lucky with an AC20+++ (giant canon, the +++ means improved stats). I put it on a medium mech (wolverine), which meant no room for anything else except almmo and armor. But it doesn't matter, it goes BOOM. Very boom.

Ravenswatch is a really fun roguelike that's great solo, but the multiplayer is also really fun. Every character gives you a totally unique gameplay so it doesn't get boring with time. I'm really excited to see what the game will look like when it's released, but for an early access game it's great and doesn't suffer from lack of content because it's challenging and has a nice variety of enemies so if somebody is on the fence about it, I recommend trying it out.

Finished up Greedfall on Sunday, just in time to get my hands on Sovereign Syndicate (launched on Monday). So far, so good.

[-] Pirky@lemmy.world 1 points 8 months ago

I'm a little late to the game, but I started playing Breath of the Wild on Ryujinx (I learned in December that my secondhand Switch is jailbreakable). And now I see why so many people loved it.
It also gave me strong Elden Ring vibes when gliding through the world, so I see where ER got its inspiration.

It has me excite to play TotK right after.

Cyberpunk 2077,insanely good game

[-] Duenan@aussie.zone 1 points 8 months ago

Just finished Uncharted 4 for the 2nd time. Now starting Uncharted the Lost Legacy.

[-] DagonPie@lemmy.world 1 points 8 months ago

Granblue Fantasy Versus Rising. Been in an SF6 slump so changing it up has been refreshing. Not super into the anime style of it but the gameplay is incredibly fun. Its also a really well put together game with a good single player and a Fall Guys rip off thats also really fun.

Also old school runescape because the grind never ends.

I would have been playing baldurs gate 3 with my buddy who is on vacation and has only his mac book, but because of the differing versions, because mac version is behind by two weeks, and steam needing to have the up to date version of the game, we can't...

Warframe has been consuming basically all of my game time. It took a long time of playing off and on for it to really click with me like it has now where Ive stuck with it. I'm actually a bit glad though because it's left this ocean of different things in the game I can do and it's been great.
