    Still have not gotten much time to play the newest update of No Man’s Sky… does that count? It is over 10 years old, but gets regular content updates.

    I’m playing tiny tina wonderlands and i got addicted immediately. I tried before to play other borderlands games, but i get bored and quit after few hours. However something is different about this spin off, it combine D&D with diablo-like and the campaign is really fun

  • Factorio Space Age! I’ve always loved Factorio but would usually get bored by like mid game. But that’s not the case with Space Age. All the different planets are so fun. I love Vulcanus and Fulgora, Gleba not so much lol. I still haven’t been to Aquilo yet.

    Been playing SSX Tricky for the past few days as it was an old nostalgia game of mine. It's been real fun, but the NPCs are way more obnoxious than I remembered. Also the way that the devs put alternative courses inside each course so you could go "off trail" is actually really cool

    Enshrouded having a blast building our new base. We started with 1.0 and it’s great. Huge open world which is handcrafted, great exploration and the crafting and building part of the game is very solid. It doesn’t feel as grindy as other survival games and overall it’s a great experience.

    Having a bit of a hard time resetting after my NextFest adventures. Played a bit more of the Ablahshikar demo just to try and figure out what the hell is going on with that game. Will probably buy the early access when it starts soon, partly because it’ll be cheaper than the full release and partly because I want to support the artistry of this developer. Got back to playing a bit more Withering Realms today, which is also woefully impatient of me I know. I’m really flying in the face of this community’s values. Anyway. Game is good, it’s getting better with every patch. I think it will be fantastic once it releases next spring. Puzzles are quite a bit harder than Withering Rooms, though. Especially since the clues are much more spread out, and it’s much harder to know if you have access to all the required information or not. I’m stumped a bit on a particular puzzle at the moment, will probably have to backtrack a lot and see if I missed something.

    I thought I’d finally escaped World of Warcraft after a decade and a half of playing it. I haven’t touched it in years. That was mostly thanks to Activision ruining Blizzard ever since they bought them out; made it real easy to dump the whole company and all their games. Then a buddy of mine started raving about the new WoW: Forever that’s about to drop in a few days (which is supposedly just a remastered alternate version of WoW, adding tons of new content and fixing all the story/gameplay mistakes the devs felt they made with the MMO over the years) and it got me curious. Now I’m back in WoW, exploring all the content I’ve missed these past few years. It did get a little better since I left. I’ve never been a hardcore raiding/leveling/grinding kind of MMO player. I like to get immersed in the world and the lore. With vanilla WoW, it took me over a year to reach max level because I was enjoying just running around and exploring every corner of the map. I had my own character backstory built, like a D&D session, and added my own personal lore alongside the game’s content. Heck, I had a last-minute grind session the night The Burning Crusade dropped, just to finally make it to max level so I could enjoy the first expansion. Supposedly, WoW: Forever plans to emulate that experience, forcing you to actually explore the world and get immersed in the lore and story. No more grinding for max levels, no more flying mounts to get from point A to B without experiencing the world under you. You’re encouraged to develop more complex professions and skills to benefit other players. You can supposedly set up campsites in the world and drop resources for others to take advantage of. And I guess they’re claiming that the max level is 100% the max level now. No matter what new content drops for it, you’ll never level up again. Gaining levels isn’t the point of this game. It has me intrigued, so I plan to check it out in a few days.

    I bought a bunch of games in the recent GOG sale. So instead of playing them I’ve been playing Just Cause 3. I honestly think this is one of my all time favourite games. It wouldn’t win any awards from critics. Wikipedia says “Just Cause 3 received “mixed or average” reviews from critics, according to review aggregator website Metacritic.”. But it’s just so fun. You can play it without need to pay much attention, just going around blowing up shit to liberate bases. A hero in an uprising against a dictator. Anyone got recommendations for other games that are really enjoyable to play even if they aren’t award worthy games?

    I started a playthrough of Sherlock Holmes: The Awakened (2008). Earlier this year I did play through the 2023 remake of it, and I wanted to go back and see how the (almost) original game was. I’m now through the first chapter of the 2008-version, and so far… it’s pretty great! Admittedly I did few .ini tweaks to fix it for widescreen & 4k, it works fine (even if some characters/assets on the very edges of the viewport can blink in/out a bit). Too bad the 2008 version has fixed the “creepy Watson” teleporting, but oh well, at least I don’t get unnescessarily jumpscared. Other than that, the graphics are quite dated, but they have certain charm. The puzzles seem fairly reasonable, if a bit pixel-hunt-y at times. The vibes are great all around though!

    I must be on a kick for hyper action roguelike shooters rn. I just got Sektori and it’s giving me locked-in syndrome in the best way. I can just play one run after another indefinitely. It’s so immersive and satisfying like the best Housemarque games like Resogun and Returnal. Also playing a lot of RoboQuest. That’s another one that I can just turn on and make two hours disappear. The pacing never lets up while the huge selection of fun weapons keeps me experimenting constantly. I’m still grinding away on Nuclear Throne too. There’s something about the game loop that feels just right to pick up a quick game. I keep getting a little further each time. I picked back up with Cult of the Lamb. I’m playing it on extreme accessibility settings because I don’t want to hassle too much with the cult management stuff or the combat – I just want to see where the story goes.
