Valorant, been playing with friends and prepping for the premier games this week. It's the gaming equivalent of a softball or bowling league, fun to practice leading up to a game, with a season that ends in a playoff. Been a lot of fun strategizing, even though we're not high level

Team Fortress 2

The game of all time, ever made.

Trine 5. Loving it so far.

[-] ConstableJelly@beehaw.org 1 points 1 year ago

Just finished Trine 4 with my son! I'd never played one before but it was really a great little co-op experience. I'll keep an eye on 5.

Mad Max at the moment, getting ready to jump in and check out Starfield once I finish that

I love the Mad Max game so much. I've been thinking about replaying it (again) myself.

It is seriously so underrated. I’ve lost count of how many times I’ve played it over the years. I was actually really disappointed when they abandoned it so quickly. But honestly it’s just a great game as is. The atmosphere is absolutely perfect.

Its a mix of CS:GO, The Long Dark and Assetto Corsa for me lately.

I just got the Project Rome mod for Battlefield: Bad Company 2 so I've been playing that quite a bit as well! To any BC2 fans out there, make sure you get Project Rome and start playing again! It's just as fun as it's ever been.

Rogue Legacy 2, Elder Scrolls Online, and I recently found out about this procedurally generated BMX game called Descenders that's kinda tough but fun.

I recently discovered Manic Miners, a remake of 1999's Lego Rock Raiders, and ever since I've been busy reliving my childhood in 1080p. Now if only someone could remake Lego Racers 1&2...

Beyond that, I found out that the Steam release of Dwarf Fortress totally passed me by last year, and so I've been getting back into that and I keep marveling at the lovely graphics and the mouse control. I'm happy that I can support the creators this way after years of playing the game every once in a while. Still waiting for stuff like Dwarf Therapist, but for the first time I'm playing DF without tons of add-ons and it's actually pretty neat. I'm looking forward to all the FUN I'll be having! :P

I finished Baldur's Gate: Enhanced Edition, it was ok. I kinda brute-forced my way through the game, basically only doing physical damage, only using one or two healers (who were shooting at range most of the time). The game had a bunch of really unfun mechanics, that I didn't like at all, so I'm not sure if I'll play any of the other Infinity Engine games.

I also finished the Quake 2 base game and started with the first expansion. Like I said last week, I definitely like the sci-fi environment more than the medieval one in Quake 1 and the weapons are better as well.

Despite being a bit disappointed with BGEE, I still want to play a CRPG right now, so I was going back and forth between a few different ones. In the end I started Pillars of Eternity again, hoping to finally finish it, at least the base story. This was actually my first RTwP game, and I played it years ago, the last time in 2018, when I actually made it to the final dungeon and I think the actual last boss fight of the (base) game, but stopped for some reason. Anyway, I'll give it another shot, and so far I like the gameplay a lot more than Baldur's Gate 1. The game is much more recent of course, although it was only released three years after the Enhanced Edition. Everything feels just much smoother. For a change, I'm playing a wizard this time (BG3 and BGEE I mainly used physical damage, either melee or ranged, 80% of the time).

Tried the demo for System Shock remastered and finally started Jet Set Radio with the release of the spiritual successor. They did not age well for me, but I could see why they were popular back in the day

I recently finished Bomb Rush Cyberfunk. it’s a fun game, but I’d say it was a bit expensive for the overall length and simplicity of it. Still, I really enjoyed it.

I also downloaded the free version of Shadow Warrior on GoG. I am not playing it blind since I watched Civvie-11’s video on it already, but it’s way harder than I expected. It’s my first time playing a build engine game, but the weapons and combat feel very intense and satisfying to use despite the technical limitations of games back then. I think I will keep on playing on “who wants some wang” for now, but it’s taking some perseverance. Lo Wang is hilarious though, and it’s making the game way funnier than I expected. If I keep on enjoying it this much, I may give other old shooters a try as well.

Got Gotham Knights on sale. After all the patches, it seems to be pretty stable and so far I'm enjoying it. It's certainly not amazing, but for $15aud it's pretty good. Also trying out SYNCED and I like the aesthetic so far, but gameplay/controls are a bit mushy. It also runs like a dog with pretty inconsistent FPS.
