Was playing Homebody, I really want to like it but I suck at some of the puzzles and there is this retro game within that really started to piss me off.
Modded Skyrim AE - Mostly just some visual and animation mods with Odin and Vorkii, Serana Dialogue, and other qol stuff.
It’s a game we’ve all played a million times, but the sheer number of mods makes every replay just different enough.
Also mixing in modded Sims 4 and Diablo 2 Remastered.
Splatoon 3. The only shooters I like are unconventional and hyper-unrealistic. It is certainly that.
I played Plateup. I finally got my restaurant to day 15 and I’m starting to like this game more and more.
Haven’t played this game in about 6 months. I hope they made it easier to automate the cooking.
I don’t know - I haven’t gotten to automation yet. I’m currently in the “I’m new to this and everything is exciting” phase. I saw conveyors, but I have no idea how to effectively utilize them.
Resi 4 remake, been pretty superb, looks amazing on ps5, plays great, makes me jump, just been a pleasure. I played TOTK + FF16 prior to this and it feels really good to play something more exciting and fast paced, TOTK was good but I didn’t finish it and FF16 was a drag but I forced myself to finish it, looking forward to dead space remake after this.
I complain about how remake heavy we are but also they just seem to be the most mechanically tight games available atm.
Sniper Elite 5. That series is like my sneaky sniper comfort food. I also just got a sonos arc soundbar and subwoofer and tried it out for the first time with the game. In the sonos app, they are now under the media group named, “Boom!Headshot”. lol
GBA Advance Wars… I missed it first time round, so I’m playing it through on my Miyoo Mini Plus. Absolutely perfect handheld game, ideal to grab for a quick half hour mission.
Jagged Alliance 3 and it rocks!
Finished FF16 yesterday, so damn good
I am thoroughly enjoying it right now. Honestly one of the first Final Fantasy narratives I’ve been deeply invested in for a while. It somehow manages to be over the top but still feel grounded enough to connect with the characters.
Hunt Showdown. The audio cues, gunplay, and strategies you can come up with are second to none. I get destroyed 80% of the time, but that 20% keeps me coming back.
I get you, I still return to it when I have the time.
There’s nothing that quite compares to stalking an enemy group through the bushes for ten minutes trying to avoid getting noticed, while preparing to ambush.
Been playing FF16. Really been enjoying it! It’s really just a movie or TV series with sporadic combat. But I really enjoy storyline in games more than gameplay most times. I like that they added items to make the combat stupid easy for someone like me that has never been good at doing combo moves. I feel like it might be a bit too easy at times, but still fun. I swore to never buy another FF game after 13, but I’m glad they released a demo so I could see how fun the game would be.
I’ve also been playing FF16 recently and been loving it. I can’t really explain what makes it so good because in many ways it just isn’t a great game. But what it does well, it’s doing really well. It’s just so enjoyable to play.
I talked about this with a friend. From what I’ve seen it’s about the spectacle. It might not have Dark Souls levels of technical and mechanical design mastery, but hot damn, the sheer fucking spectacle of it all!
I think that’s the genius of the game. It’s not meant to be a space for player to hone or practice their action RPG combat skills. It’s meant to blow their minds and make them feel powerful.
I kind of struggle with the constant cut scenes. There are times when the only gameplay is just walking to another room and then another 5min cut scene starts. There was even a point where the cut scene was so long my controller shut off. I often feel like they could have just released it as a TV series instead of a game.
The graphics are great, the fighting animations are awesome, and the times that I do manually control combat it’s super fun. I do agree that it’s not a great game (it might be better if I stopped being lazy and removed the “cheater” rings) but it is a lot of fun to play!
Disco Elysium. this game has consumed my life
I’m also playing Disco Elysium! It’s fun but so far has yet to completely grab me as it seems to have done for you.
Personally I couldn’t get into the voice acting, feels jarring and within a few minutes I’m hearing completely mispronounced words. Hard to ignore.
Me too! First time playing it after hearing a lot of good things. The story and gameplay are interesting but what really hooked me is how the game can surprise me with wild and unexpected dialog choices. I love going for whatever feels like the goofiest possible decision just to see what happens next.
Days gone, i like it alot.

I’ve started playing Elden Ring without really knowing what I was getting myself into… It’s been a experience to say the least. I don’t think I’ve ever struggled with a game so much xD
