I started Dead Cells because it came with PS Plus Extra (I think).

I played for three hours which I guess is a good sign. Actually my first run was probably unusually good. I picked up a fire blaster from a gold statue and that weapon pretty much one shot and burned everything up to the first boss, but I died in the next area.

My main gameplay complaint is fuck those bombs that explode into more bombs.

My other minor complaint is it’s a little too meta. I’ve already seen a bunch of obvious to blatant references to other indie video games, which detracts from its own world and identity a little.

I don’t know if I like it enough to keep playing. The areas can be pretty long. I made it past the second boss and into the castle area, and those enemies were just annoying. The clock tower was annoying enough. Even cheesing through them with repeated frost, I took a ton of damage from just a few enemies. So it is challenging, but I’m not sure how much I want to grind up to that skill level. I was sort of more frustrated / bored than having fun unfortunately. There are ten million things to unlock so maybe I’ll circle back to it at some point.

Making some serious progress in Tears of the Kingdom and finishing up Final Fantasy XVI.

Trying to get things squared away, Remnant 2 come out soon and I'm excited about that.

Still playing my first run through of Elden Ring, almost 250 hours in Have explored almost every corner, just finishing up now. Am having a blast!

Same! I am just like 35 hours in though and I have yet to see most of the game.

You’ve got a whole world in front of you. Enjoy!

Back on a Fallout 4 trip this weekend.

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

Since the Starfield gameplay showcase, I've been really itching to download Fallout 4 again. I might be a minority, but I absolutely loved the combat in it. Are you playing with any mods?

[-] Gutotito@kbin.social 1 points 1 year ago

Just the unofficial patch and some player homes that I haven't gone to see yet. Still building settlements, and loving it.

Getting back into Alien: Fireteam Elite for some causal fun before making my 4th attempt to complete Tales of Zestiria.

I'm trying to git gud at Noita. Not going well.

Finished Getting Over It which was gifted to me by a friend as a joke. He assumed I’d never finish it. He was wrong!

While it’s super frustrating I did find it to be really rewarding as well. First run took 8h. I did it again today in 40 mins.

On to DOOM!

Just finished Grime, so I'm diving into Oxenfree 2. I've also got Amnesia: The Bunker waiting in the wings for whenever I'm feeling brave enough.

[-] Catch42@kbin.social 3 points 1 year ago

The pikmin 4 demo

Burnout 3! After so many years it still is so fun and the emulator improves the graphics so it feela modern. Its a perfect game. Except there are no loot boxes so i cant satisfy my gambling addiction, or online play that is full of hackers so i cant feel like playing is totally pointless

Will be playing a lot of Like a Dragon: Ishin!

[-] Pheonixdown@lemm.ee 2 points 1 year ago

Exoprimal, power suits vs dinos plus time travel and evil AI, topped off with sexy Russian and sexy robot, what's not to love

[-] Hamano@lemm.ee 2 points 1 year ago

I finished Pokemon Legends Arceus a few days ago. I started New Pokemon Snap and Temtem right away. Marvel's Spider-man aside for when I need something more nervous.

Still putting time into FFXVI, didn't get much time in the week, but hoping to make some good progress this weekend.

Still enjoying overall, but feeling the lack of loot and equipment setups from previous FF games.

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

It‘ll be Mario Kart, Animal Crossing New Horizons and Yes, Your Grace.@mike591

[-] Drakmanka@kbin.social 1 points 1 year ago

Finally getting around to playing Super Mario Odyssey after sitting on it for ages.

I picked up the GTA Remastered Trilogy during the Steam sale, so I've been playing San Andreas. It's a game I used to have on xbox, and despite never completing the main story, playing it back then is a key gaming memory for me.

It's very bittersweet -- the remaster is absolutely terrible (although from what I've seen on YouTube, drastically improved), but the game is still really fun to play, which is a true testiment to the game itself. I really hope Rockstar releases a few more patches though. It's criminal to abandon one of their best games in such a state.

Finished Final Fantasy XII, the story at least, today. Thinking Yakuza Like a Dragon might be next, but I do already have mid game saves on Kiwami 2 and Judgement I could jump back into...

[-] rodhlann@kbin.social 1 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

I have been having a ton of fun playing Everspace 2. I've also been jumping between that, Freelancer, and Endless Sky. On a bit of a space game kick. Definitely recommend all 3!!
