I myself am 100ish hours into AC Odyssey on the Steam Deck, looking forward to getting stabby on some malakas!
I’ve been playing Grim dawn for a while. Just finished getting to lvl 96 on a spellbinder. As much as I’d like to try Diablo 4, $70 is just too steep at the moment. Maybe when it goes on sale
GD fills that Diablo need pretty darn well. I enjoy it more than Diablo 1-3, at any rate.
And if the need comes, I’m pretty sure Grim Dawn has a mod that’s just Diablo 2 anyways.
Making my way through Witcher 3 but I keep getting distracted by gwent.
No no no, that’s no distraction, that’s the main part of the game :D
Agreed, they put a game around the card game, that kept getting in the way!
Where are my ToTK folks ?
Going to finish the main campaign in Diablo 4.
Have the server issues improved at all?
I haven’t had a single issue, so I’m not sure what you mean?
Ah cool. Just have seen some posts about long server queues / downtime.
No queue at all, at most a couple of seconds loading.
There is a surprising amount of content after the main campaign, it is a lot of fun (so far).
I picked up Hi-Fi Rush on sale about a week ago, blew through it once, and am now working on a second play through/new game plus. Super fun game. After putting it down after playing for a while I still feel like I’m doing things to a beat for a bit.
I love rhythm games but not normally a fan of action arcade. Hi Fi rush is something special though and I think everyone should give it a chance.
I like hifi rush alot, its a real sleeper and i like the vibe. If you are looking for more I really recommend bullets per minute. It’s a roguelike rhythm shooter with a really baller soundtrack. It’s less forgiving than hifi rush but when you get in the zone it can be really rewarding.
Tears of the Kingdom, although I might take a break for No Man’s Sky
Eyyy same for NMS. I generally just like to run around and screen shot stuff
So many things are incredibly beautiful in that game
Is there new content for NMS or you are just enjoying it at the moment?
there’s a big content drop coming soon
I haven’t been able to get into NMS. I’m thinking of giving it yet another try, since I have PCVR (there’s that major VR update).
But yeah, I’m deep into Tears of the Kingdom. 105 hours in, and I still haven’t beaten it.
If you’ve got a good PC, the VR is pretty sweet. And depending on when the last time you’ve tried it was, there’s certain to be a ton of new content.
Trying to finish my first full Darkest Dungeon run since starting in 2016. I never started the final DD level but completed everything else, but I feel I can’t start Darkest Dungeon II before completing the campaign in the first game.
That and probably some more Cities: Skylines 🙂
I really really wanted to like Darkest Dungeon, but either I really suck at it or there’s just too much grinding for me. I’ve gone through about 30 in-game weeks and haven’t really gotten anywhere.
It is a big grind, yes. If that’s not your cup of tea I don’t think you’ll ever grow fond of it. There’s also alot of randomness that at times feels very unfair. But for some reason, it appeals to me 🙂.
Part two is not as long, or so I read, but you still have to grind to unlock characters and skills, apparently.
Lots of Diablo 4 this weekend if I can actually get some free time. We’ll see about that, but that’s been my main time sink lately.
Same, can’t stop playing it when I get the chance.
I’m 20 hours into Horizon Zero Dawn! Been playing it on my steamdeck and having a blast.
I love this game. So happy it made it to PC. I’m only about 10 hours in. The intro cutscene when Aloy jumps as a kid and lands as a young adult was such an epic moment. Enjoy your time playing that one. It’s so beautiful
I’m enjoying how story-rich it is! Feels very cinematic.
Tears Of the Kingdom! Fully went in expecting to be disappointed, but it just continues to blow me away the deeper I get into it. Truly incredible what they were able to pull off with such old hardware.
My partner has been playing it and I’m shocked at what’s in that game. Really impressed as an onlooker
It’s honestly outstanding. When I realized how much content was in this game compared to BOTW my jaw hit the floor! I’ve been a life long Zelda fan so it makes me so happy to see the franchise getting renewed love and excitement around it.
Fallout 1 with a 1-Intelligence character. I’m, somehow, succeeding.
That is so much fun. Fallout 1 was one of those games that just blew my mind when it came out, and it’s still one of my favourites.
Have you tried FO2? I liked it better than the first.
I may have played it a time or two.
I enjoy the tone and tightness of the first game’s story much more. I enjoy the second game’s expanded mechanics and item variety. In terms of tone, really Fallout 2 really sets the course for the rest of the franchise. Fallout 1 ends up being this very strange outlier that never really got revisited by official games (there are some stand alone mods that capture it a lot more).
Elden Ring, just got the game and I’m excited to keep exploring this open world dark souls
I never got into any of the souls games until Elden Ring, but I’m now working through it for like the fifth time. Truly one of the best games I’ve ever played.
The remake of System Shock and Path of Exile, both on the Steam Deck. I’m enjoying gaming again with this beast :)
Oooh. How is the System Shock remake? Huge fan of the original, but haven’t had the time to look into the remake too much. Was it “modernized” or were all the systems kept faithful to the original?
The controls has been modernized, it feels like a game that launched this year, but everything else is completely faithful to the original. I’ve only tried the original briefly, but I’ve red from people who played both that you could basically follow a guide from 1994 and still be able to get through the remake.
Aside from that, they added a scrap system which you can collect junk, destroy it, and recycle it for coins which can be spent on weapon upgrades. I think that’s the only major addition in the gameplay itself, and it’s something that was already in a similar way for System Shock 2 with the nanites.
This weekend is very busy but I’m sure I can squeeze in some Doom and Terraria (just realising that is a strange combo).
No stranger than Doom and Animal Crossing.
Just bought The Talos Principle and I really like it. I will be playing the heck out of it for the rest of the weekend.
I’d really like to experience my first play-through again. Really awesome game.
Surprisingly good! Didn’t expect the story to unfold that way from what’s essentially a puzzle game
I’ve been replaying it in anticipation of the second one coming out by the end of this year. Can’t wait!
