Gaming

I usually play a lot of new indie and old AAA games but rn the biggest time sink is Zelda Tears of the Kingdom. As anti-consumer as Nintendo is, they know how to make quality halo games.

Been playing some RE: revelations 2 on switch, lately been on a Resident evil mood just finches RE2R so going with the franchise a little bit.

Timberborn! Update 4 stuff really added a lot.

Cyberpunk - I like it but it's still buggy to the point of having to reload at times. The main story is absurdly predictable and short, barely got into it and I'm at the point of no return. Maybe the conclusion will save it. Replayability is low due to all the unskippable pseudo cutscenes. Combat is meh. So far a 7/10 game

F1 23 - finally a good F1 game

Guild Wars 2, evidently others do like it as the maps are usually not empty.

I would like to play a more engaging game, but I'm working too much and my brain need some chill time.

I've been enjoying the Evercade Piko Collection 3 cart recently. When new carts come out I like to try out every game and go in-depth on a least a couple games so I have a reason to come back to it later after there's a new shiny out.

So I've been playing and streaming 40 Winks (I'm about halfway through now), enjoying some Radikal Bikers, and loving to hate the hilariously bad Sword of Sodan.

I'm going through the Street Figher 6 World Tour Mode and am near the end I think. No idea how much I'll play it afterward. Maybe I'll try out some stuff in the Battle Hub, like the Arcade Mode or the different training modes, to actually learn some stuff.

Tears of the Kingdom Diablo IV Dark Souls 3 Final Fantasy XVI demo

This week, a little Citizen Sleeper, a little of a Doom wad called Lost Civilization and No Man's Sky on Switch.

I'm playing Vampyr again! I had already played it up to a certain point but never finished it. Recently I finished Tchia and felt like coming back to Vampyr, because I really like most of it (some details irritate me, like most of the regular patients in the hospital and all of the freshly spilled enemy-blood not showing up in your "blood detection" vision).

Oh and in addition, I started dabbling in this super eerie and janky MMO called Animyst.

I've been playing Ace Combat 7. It has been exhilarating!

Lost Ark

I've enjoyed it thus far.

Horizon Forbidden West. Got the expansion and wanted to go through the main story again before jumping into it.

I've been jumping back and forth between The Finals Closed Beta and Battlebit Remastered when I'm not leveling my sorcerer on Diablo IV.

Outside of that, for demos I played the FF16 demo which blew my wig back. Lusant is another one coming from Don't Nod that I played a small chunk of and quit because I knew it was right up my alley and didn't need to see more, have a feeling it'll be a shorter experience. Then I tried Lies of P, which has busted HDR support on PC, so gonna give it a shot on PS5 today. Overall dug the vibe and combat, the influence from Bloodborne is all over the damn game.

Witcher 2 babyyyy. First time playthrough and it's just... Like I'm a kid again and I can't stop thinking about playing it again when I'm at work.

Battlebit remastered. Definitely got curious from their ads, but it is a battlefield experience like no other. Puts 2042 to shame. It looks silly but its challenging in all the right ways.

Haven't been playing much but will get some Deep Rock Galactic action later today for the new season content, if that counts. It's my one evergreen game I keep coming back to whenever there's an update lol

I'm mostly finished with The Cult of the Lamb - just doing boss rushes and minor cult duties for fun and I have also been playing McPixel 3. I fired up The Binding of Isaac for a quick run, too.

I finally finished Cyberpunk! Now on to Doom Eternal

MW2 - DMZ

I've been hearing a lot about "extraction shooters" in the last month, and DMZ was the most suggested one to try. So I gave it a try this week.

I'm no stranger to FPS games, I watched a few hours of DMZ beginner videos so I understand the systems. But jumping into MW2 as a newbie... the MW2 client is overwhelming with battle passes, account level, rank ups, perk unlocks, missions, etc. etc.

I just started both Diablo IV and Star Wars: Jedi Survivor. I haven't spent a ton of time in either of them yet, but I am really liking them so far

Vintage Story! It started as a type of Minecraft mod, but was remade as a standalone game. It has a big emphasis on crafting and working your way up the tech tree manually by increasing the tools available to you. Food can be hard to come by in the beginning. The overall story also has a sort-of post-apocalyptic, lovecraftian vibe. Only available on their website, but it's a ton of fun!

Battlebit Remastered. It's now my favorite FPS that isn't TF2 or CSGO

Warframe! Super fun.

I have rediscovered Titanfall 2 and am playing using Northstar. very fun

On the weekend I was playing Cross Code but I put that aside for my vacation.
I don't have much time after work at the moment, so I found a really strange game called Sally can't sleep. Digging the atmosphere. Gameplay is a bit wonky and frustrating but I love just to roam around. But I can imagine that it's too strange for most people.

Your Only Move Is Hustle! YOMI Hustle for short. Turn based fighting game. If you've got a decent understanding of fighting games (Smash Bros specifically helps), you can play chess with a whole mess of moves. You can predict exactly what each move will do, as well as predict what happens for the opponents moves as well. No more failing inputs, since ever move is one click away. You get to learn high level concepts like frame advantage, oki, spacing, it's all there with as little barrier of entry possible.

I am nearly finishing Breath of The Wild, using CEMU instead of using my Switch (which my gf is using to play BOTW and Pokemon Violet), and I am playing Football Manager 2007 for a bit of nostalgia.

I will then finish Bloodstained: Ritual of the Night which is a great metroidvania, for those who loved Castlevania: Symphony of the Night (because it's the same producer, Koji Igarashi).

I've played a variety of games this past week;

• American Truck Simulator with friends
• Borderlands 3 for mindless gunplay
• Plate up with the wife!

@The_Hunted_One I'm finishing the second game of the Spyro Reignited Trilogy. 🔥 🐲
