I myself am 100ish hours into AC Odyssey on the Steam Deck, looking forward to getting stabby on some malakas!

    Well the weekend is over but I will be continuing to play 2v2 in Mechabellum with a friend of mine. Has been fun even though we get crushed all the time.

    I finally gave death stranding another shot, coming into it with a clean mindset away from all the negativity has allowed me to enjoy the slow and relaxing gameplay a lot more. It’s worth a second chance if you were negative towards it originally.

      I started it like half a year ago and stopped when I had to hide from that strange black fog things. I hate stealth mechanics, so I stopped playing. May I ask if it gets better? I mean in terms that you acquire gear or abilities to not need to crawl around that black mist creatures? I am super interested in the game, exploring, doing the deliveries, seeing how the story unfolds and I really want to play it, but not if I need to play hide & seek all the time :-(

        Once you unlock the blood grenades you can easily take care of the BTs, you also get more weapons that can deal with them. It’s pretty early that you can stop crouching and holding your breath to deal with them.

      People have called it a “delivery simulator” as an insult to it, but honestly to me that sounds pretty freaking sweet when I need to relax after a long day.

        The thing is that the marketing for it–and everything about everything Kojima does in particular–hails it as the most complex, deep, meaningful game ever. But you’re playing Philip J fucking Fry. Kojima is almost as bad as David Cage and everyone seems to be okay with it.

    Started playing warframe as destiny 2 doesn’t work on Linux and bungie deleted users paid content. Its OK, lots to learn. Not sure if I’ll stick with it long term . I think the characters look stupid, like give me a normal looking human / robot.

    Gameplay is decent enough…

    Other than that. A bit of Mario kart 8

    Nothing, really. I’ve put Valhalla and Breath of the Wild on hold, I don’t feel like gaming lately. But I’m hugely hyped for FFVII Rebirth.

    Besides some Zelda Tears of the Kingdom, I’m mainly playing Ironsworn: Starforged. I recently got the book and I am appreciating what Shawn Tomkin did here.

    I may play a bit of Spirit Island later if I have enough time to spend focusing on it.

    AC Odyssey, many people have negative opinions of this game as an AC game. I think if you like the time period and are not an original trilogy diehard fan, you can find it interesting.

      I just finished one of the quest chains that came in an update; where a town is about to be attacked by pirates, and on every single quest in the chain, everything goes NOT according to plan and things just get more comically dire.

    I just found Tim Cain’s YouTube channel, and realise I haven’t played the games from Troika. I’m considering getting Arcanum and playing that.

        Awesome, I’ll look forward to it. And thanks, those kinds of patches are life savers on older games!

    Diablo 4, so far I’ve been enjoying it loads, even without any multiplayer aspects it would be a great standalone RPG.

    I’m also playing Breath of the Wild since I never finished it originally and want to before I start Tears of the Kingdom.
