Street Fighter 6! My first fighting game and the controls are difficult af, but I’m enjoying the learning process :)
I’m a big fighting game enjoyer , do you know where that kind of discussion happens here? I have some in other instances but would rather contribute to an existing community here if one exists
Stick with it! The FGC is a great community :) We all know that initial hurdle sucksss but you’ll have a grand time ahead of you if you manage to get ahead of it. Who are you playing as?
I’m playing Manon so far! Love her aesthetic and she feels good to play :)
Caves of Qud & Rain World
Returnal
God this game is difficult
That game looks super cool. Will prob buy it when it’s on a deeper steam sale.
Hardspace:Shipbreaker, ETS2 and some fs 22
I just started Disney Dreamlight. Really enjoying it, nice and light plus adorable.
Final fantasy 16! It’s been great so far
I somehow skipped over Hollow Knight until now. I’m playing that this week, and maybe forever.
The game is dope.I’m not a gamer.
I beat the original Contra on NES and I’ve barely played anything ever except the first Animal Crossing and AC:NH during the pandemic.
I picked up Hollow Knight for Christmas last year and it’s the first game I’ve played to completion in literally 35 years. I just got [no spoilers] ending with 105% completion like two weeks ago.
I can’t begin to convey how much I love this game. It’s definitely what I’m (still) playing this week.
Right? It’s just that good!
It really is though. I’m super excited for you :)
Slight spoiler warning:
Same for me. I put it down for a few days after failing Mantis Lords and Soul Master and getting salty about the bench placements, but after watching this video on why the Mantis Lords are fantastically designed , I picked it up again and start to really enjoy it – winning both of these boss fights in two attempts. Before engaging them again, it was worth exploring more and getting stronger. The game doesn’t communicate well how strong you currently are (e.g., by not having health bars for the bosses). The best clue was to see how well you can score against the standard monsters in that area.
FFVIII
Tears of the Kingdom as I have been every day since it came out and as I likely will every day until I’ve one hundred percented it.
bought Spiderman Miles Morales on Steam last week, but haven’t touched it, probably Sun Haven as well
Granblue Versus !
Has it had that big update come out yet? It looks interesting, but I also am not sure I’d leave Strive for it
I’m revisiting the Ratchet & Clank series. I picked up the original 3 games for PS3 at a local game shop, and am trying to 100% all three of them. So far I did so on the 2nd game, and am about to finish that on the 1st game.
I’m beyond excited for the PC port of Rift Apart coming in July. I’ve never considered buying a PS5, with the sole exception of for that game. Grew up playing R&C on PS2, so it’s gonna be great to get back in the saddle!
You should really get your hands on a PS3 to play the rest of the series. R&C 1, 2, and 3 are available in 1080p as a collection, and you can download Deadlocked (skippable game, but it’s there) on the PS Store still. Then there are the Future games, in order: Tools of Destruction, Quest for Booty (skippable game), A Crack in Time, and Into the Nexus. There’s also some side games like Secret Agent Clank and Size Matters (PSP and PS2) and All 4 One, but those aren’t part of the main series so they’re skippable as well. PS4 also has the notable re-imagining of the first game (based on the movie based on the game) and it’s actually a really compelling title, but not worth getting a PS4 over. I just happen to have a PS4 for other games. Rift Apart has me wanting a PS5, because I think these titles are best enjoyed with a home media center, but having it available on PC (and Steam Deck, apparently!) is really incredible and exciting.
I’ll have to keep my eyes peeled for a good deal - I’d love to play those ps3 titles! Do their stories build up on each other in any meaningful way?
Yes they do! The story follows a thread from RC1-3, Deadlocked, and the Future games all the way up through Rift Apart. They re-hashed the story of the first game in the PS4 remake, but it hits all the same story beats.
Alright, well that settles it then. Im on the hunt for a PS3!
Street Fighter 6 when solo, and DMZ with the boys
I’ve just picked up Brotato yesterday, it’s a roguelike bullet hell where you build up your character and try to survive 20 waves using loads of different weapons and items. The great thing is you control your character with just one analog stick, but it’s a lot harder than it sounds. Reminds me a lot of old flash games I used to play as a kid. I’ve only played for a few hours so far and managed to win one run. Personally, I love the experience of figuring out a gameand working out optimal strategies, an itch which Slay the Spire has been scratching for a long time for me. I can already tell I’m going to invest a lot of time into this game, I was hooked right from the beginning. Loving the sound of SMG bullets decimating entire hordes of enemies. Well worth picking up on steam, plays really well on the steam deck. The game is only £4 at full price, and it’s 20% off right now.
The last weeks I played valheim on my own server with some friends. It was so relaxing. But now the newest patch broke all the mods we were using.
So now I play Jak II and wonder how my child self could manage drone of those missions. Damn that game can be hard.
