Hollow knight. Trying to wrap it up before silksong. Probs won’t happen but That’s okay. I’ll get to silksong whenever I finish!
1000xRESIST. I first heard about this game from Balatro of all places. It’s very good. It’s hard to talk about it without spoiling too much and I do think this game is best played with knowing as little as possible. You really need to pay attention to what’s going on. I haven’t played a VN style game in a long time but I’m really enjoying it! Some twists I definitely did not see coming.
PixelJunk Monsters 2. It was like $3 and a fantastic price for that. Not as good as the first game, but an amazing tower defence game nonetheless
fallout 4 still. imma slow.
I enjoyed FO4 way more than the community, I know it’s lacking a bit in some areas but behind Skyrim it’s my favourite game to mod. The common criticisms just didn’t bother me I guess. I put nearly a thousand hours into it (mostly modding) and had a blast the whole time. I hope you enjoy it like I did and not like the general community did.
I was just playing skyrim. did not complete it but I can see how much they added. Its funny needing to have the hold down the button thing due to all the options. I prefer fantasy settings or utopia science fiction but its very good so far.
Skyrim is my most played game ever, but honestly a vast majority of that playtime was not spent on the main storyline at all. The game is best when you’re doing side quests and just exploring the world (and modding of course, it has a massive modding community, literally half of all mods on nexus are for Skyrim). The main quest is fine, but it’s nothing special. It’s your run-of-the-mill “you’re the savour of the world” type thing. But the thieves guild and dark brotherhood are both a lot of fun, the civil war is really fun too, and there’s just so much care put into the environment. Go check out random caves and camps and pay close attention to your surroundings, and you’ll see so many stories there that never get explicitly told. Environmental story telling is Skyrim’s strong suit for sure.
Oh im not finished. I actually did not mod and I may restart with mods.
I’d recommend finishing a playthrough unmodded first just to get the vanilla experience, but definitely replay it modded. Alternate Start, A Quality World Map, SkyUI, Unofficial Skyrim Special Edition Patch, and many graphics and texture mods. Plus mods that add new quests, new areas, new weapons and armour, perks, followers, anything you can think of. Plus tons of goofy mods. It’s a modder’s dream.
Yeah but like I don’t even have the unofficial patch and I have definitely felt the lack of quality of life like with horses. Right now I have a save and plenty of games and im extremely slow. So who knows were I will go.
Fair enough. Modded Skyrim is a very deep rabbit hole. I hope you enjoy it.
Dragon’s Dogma. WTF? Why did nobody tell me it was good? Why do people describe it as “hack and slash”? It’s a proper ARPG. Also, do I just suck or is it actually this hard?
I’ve beaten all the souls games multiple times but I got stuck in DD pretty early on and just quit out of frustration. I’ve been meaning to go back but I do think it actually is that hard.
Figured it out! It’s not hard. It’s actually quite easy. It just gives zero fucks about letting you know the level of the enemies or the areas where they are. I got a quest to gather some flowers at level 5 and was told they could be found in the outskirts of the city so I went south out of chance. Turns out that’s 20ish level area. Perhaps the same happened to you.
I’m rocking on Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons of Liberty
Streets of Rogue. Dunno. It’s fun. But it also gets repetitive.
Tails of Iron. Artistically nice, but it’s a souls-like so it gets annoying to keep hacking at frogs.
Stranded: Alien Dawn. Played several hours in one go. Built a house. Don’t understand everything, like what triggers the flamethrower, but it’s a colony sim i guess.
Ooh, I have Tails of Iron wishlisted! Is it more fun than annoying or equal measure of both? I was on a 2D Soulslike kick earlier this summer and wishlisted a bunch that look decent and that was one of them.
Depends. Are you skilled in this genre? Can’t say that i am, so my experience has limitations.
If you like this stuff, the game does make use of weight, poise, blocking, dodging and rolls. Does it make use of them well? I don’t know if it’s my lack of ability or the game’s own issues, but it can feel clunky at times. Some dodges and rolls weren’t working when i was expecting them to.
Still, I have yet to rage quit and will keep playing, at least for a while longer.I would say I’m medium skilled in the genre. I’ve beaten the Dark Souls games and Elden Ring and also played some 2D Soulslikes, most recently Mandragora and Blasphemous. I like the Soulslike aspect more than the platforming, which I hate. So I stayed away form Hollow Knight for example.
So far, the platforming has been on the lesser side, however the maps seem somewhat large. There’s a chance it could pick up later on. I do think that the soulslike is the primary gameplay component though.

Those advanced warfighter games were so cool. Rarely see them mentioned but I fucking loved those squad based shooters.

Been enjoying playing Vampire Survivors on my SteamDeck, it’s surprisingly fun for its simplicity and barely uses any battery.
Also just started Nova Lands because I heard it was a good gateway game to other automation games. It’s pretty chill. Unsure how fun mid to late game progression is but I’m enjoying it so far.
Right now i play “A Game about digging a Hole”. I feel very dwarfy rn.
Started playing Pikmin
My time at Sandrock was on humble last month. Good deal.
Slice of life crafting game with a bit of combat and farming.
I’ve reinstalled Disco Elysium, but on the Steam Deck this time.
I had started a playground a while back, but I took a break after barely scratching the surface.
I was too burnt out from work at the time to really enjoyed it, so I parked it and kept it for later.Playing it on the deck also has the benefit of me not still sitting in my home office after working.
Me not remembering much of the beginning of that playthrough is actually pretty immersive in its own way too.
Bioshock Infinite DLC. Recently purchased the remaster on sale. Never played through the DLC. Part 2 has a bit more sneaking around than I would like, but I still enjoy being in the world.
I could never get into Infinite. BioShock 1 is one of my favourite games ever, and 2 was also incredible. But after a few hours in Infinite I put it down and never picked it up again. That was years ago though, maybe I should give it another shot.
I’m playing Morimens. It’s a gacha, but I love the dark, supernatural theme and atmosphere. The music is great, too.
