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

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!
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.
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.
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.
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.
Where are my ToTK folks ?
Tears of the Kingdom, although I might take a break for No Man’s Sky
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.
Picked up Cult of the Lamb yesterday on sale as I’ve heard nothing but good things and I’m really enjoying it so far. Told myself I’d be a kind and caring cult leader…that didn’t last long!
CotL is such a cute and disturbing game. Quite addicting as well.
I’m still missing two of the “No Damage Taken” Achievements. But neither my reaction time or patience is what it used to be. XD
Yeah I didn’t know a lot about it before I started playing, was expecting something similar to Hades. It’s definitely darker than I expected but really enjoying it so far
You can do it, Leader. We have faith in you.
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!
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.
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.
Diablo 4 pretty much nonstop since release. Really enjoying it so far.
The price tag is such a burden for me but my wife and I really truly enjoyed d3 and the a lot of arpgs, grimdawn, torchlight etc. Is it genuinely worth £120 for two copies?
My wife and I bought it and we don’t regret the purchase; but also we’re doing well enough this year that is not a huge burden for us. So B like… it’s worth it generally IMO, but if it’s a burden, I can’t say that any game is worth it.
I’m happy I’m a patient gamer, I’ll definitely buy it, but will not pay full price. My partner and I are both gamers, so it’d be way too expensive for us to get it right away.
No Man’s Sky has kind of been my go-to since it was released. Of course I’ll sit down and get into lots of other games, but if I’m playing nothing in particular - NMS.
Just a heads-up about the new expedition… it’s bugged out at one of the steps in the last phase right now, and you can’t progress to complete the expedition yet. Looks to be a community-related task, but it’s not displaying progress properly.
I think I heard something about that, yeah. Thanks for the heads up!
I’m enjoying Far Cry 6 atm - I know people have (valid) qualms with the Unsioft copy/paste fetch quest style, but sometimes it’s nice just to switch off and shoot bad guys. And I think the main storyline and voice acting is pretty good tbh.
Even if many of Ubisoft’s quests are copy-paste, once in a while I come across one that has some neat thoughts in it, and it’s a shame a lot of people don’t find them. Games like TOTK have a much stronger balance, but that’s not easy.
I recently finished it and liked it too. The setting was more of my taste than Far Cry 5. I just love the tropical Far Cry games.
I’m totally the opposite. I never much cared for tropical environments. I do like the Far Cry games, though. The gunplay feels good and the gameplay loop is enjoyable for a few dozen hours every couple of years. I think my biggest dislike of the series in general is the mystical hallucination bits that seem to always be present. Obviously the games aren’t realistic in general, but those moments always take me out of the game. I haven’t played 6 yet, so maybe they aren’t present.
There are some mystical elements in 6.
