FF6. Not playing the pixel remaster, but the “Ted Woosley Uncensored” patch with bug fixes. I’ve tried many times to play this, and I’m now the furthest I’ve ever been through it! Have also started Ratchet and Clank Rift Apart on PS+, and I really should be playing that before it inevitably gets removed, but I’m sticking with FF6.
Replaying Hellblade. I absolutely loved it on my first play-through a couple of years back, and I’m excited to go through it again.
The sound design on that game is amazing.
I’m so bad at games, I got stuck at one of the earlier levels in this before abandoning it lol but it is such a beautiful game, I’m definitely going to try it out again sometime when I get better!
I’ve read for years that Prey (2017) was a game you do no research on and just go in blind. My goodness I’m glad I did. Love the game so far at about 2 hours in
I wasn’t super keen on the mimics at the start, but the game just kept getting better and better.
I’ve started Mooncrash but it’s on hiatus at the moment, until I find more time or tick another couple of games off the list.
Hades. I’m not a fan of rogue-like games, but this one is awesome! I bought it second time on a different platform and trying to beat it on 100% again. I think for me one of the most appealing things of that game isdesign. Like, it’s done amazingly well, “with love and care” one would say
Hades is so cool, what’s the highest heat you’ve played?
16 so far, just to get the Skelly’s achievement. On my second playthrough I decided that I want to get that game to 100% both achievement-wise and content-wise, so I’m working on bonds with all characters at that moment
For me it is Hades as well. Impulse purchase and I like so far. I’m progressing very slowly though. Still hesitant to active Godmode.
Hollow Knight - started last week and got through initial frustration, now I’m enjoying it and expect to love it by the end!
It’s an amazing game, you end up feeling quite immersed. I love it.
Personally, I’m not a big fan of metroidvanias, but HK is the best metroidvania I’ve ever seen

Spiritfarer - it took me years to get around to playing it. It’s quite lovely!
Lovely is definitely the right word. Been meaning to go back, there was a character added since I played last.
I’ve been playing Shapez that I picked up for $3 the other week. It’s like a chill factorio, so it scratches that itch for me. Apparently they’re working on a sequel, so maybe I’ll play that next decade when it’s on sale.
Kingdom Come: Deliverance. I had it on PC before but never finished it so I got in on the XBOX sale as I find it more comfortable to play on the sofa.
It’s pretty good so far although the save system is irritating.
I hope we get a sequel announced soon.
Sniper Elite 4, lots of stealthy snipey fun.
X4 Foundations with Star Wars mod, inspired by finishing Star Wars Rebels.
Dying Light The Following DLC, playing co-op with a friend. Fun game, nice game world, difficulty is sorta unpredictable. Sometimes we get one-shotted other times we are parkour battle gods.
Wreckfest, always fun to go smash up some cars and win some races.
Star Wars KOTOR2, learned recently of the more or less essential community patch that will not be making it to the Switch, that reminded me I never finished the game. Pretty sure I finished KOTOR a long time ago.
I had a lot of fun playing the Sniper Elite 4 campaign with a buddy. Looks like it could be solid flying solo too. How are you playing it?
Playing it solo but I’ve had a lot of fun coop with other versions. Solo is good because you can take as much time as you want.
This weekend I managed to get in some time with Boltgun and Signals. Apparently I was in need of chunky pixels.
Botgun - Warhammer 40,000 boomer-shooter nonsense.
Signals - Dead space but Silent Hill via the inventory management from RE (6 slots are enough for anyone, right?)
I just finished signalis today. What do you think about games with abstract/obscure style of narrative? Where you have to speculate a lot, fill the gaps yourself and maybe, ultimately, getting out without any clear picture, about wtf happened there at all lol?
It’s one of those types of games. I personally tend to like them. Pathologic, for example, is one of most special gaming experiences for me. But after finishing Signalis, I felt mostly frustrated with how incoplete the story was - I haven’t even managed to feel any connection with the protagonist and her goal.
Anyway, yeah, it’s a great game, that will definitely live in my head for some days, but it’s a shame the story didn’t click for me.
Yeh, I don’t know how far in I am, probably not very, I just entered the mines. I suspect much of the plot is passing me by. Though understanding German is probably a help.
The plot not making much sense is very Silent Hill. You basically needed to get a secret ending to have any idea at all what was going on in SH1. Got the same vibe here.
But I’m happy soaking up the atmosphere and looking at the freaky shit.
I’m not the most patient gamer, and usually I would skip story/lore related notes in games, and even main story cutscenes. Here I was kinda invested.
I looked through the wiki for a couple of hours, and I got the impression, that even the connections between the main story bits are just fans’ speculations. But anyway, I think, it would be a good idea to recollect the facts on your own, read about the references and build your own picture first before checking online - I feel like I kinda spoiled it for myself a bit by rushing to the wiki.
Signalis is a masterpiece that will not get out of my brain. And I’m not even big into survival horror.
I might start Crysis 1
That is mighty patient. 👍
Monster Sanctuary (not as good as I wanted it to be. Regular Fights take a long time to go through if you don’t minmax as if you were endgaming and the plot and characters is kinda meh)
Against the Storm (pretty cool)
And Zelda Toks of the Tiks.
Dead Space for the first time (2008, not the remake)
I wish I could experience this one for the first time again. I absolutely love this game. I hope you enjoy it!
Played this most of the way though recently. It’s the only game I’ve ever played though that gives me motion sickness.
Megaglest! Fantastic game! :)
Transistor. I started it while back but bounced off. Now with the pick-up-put-down-ability of the Steam Deck I’m finding it the perfect game to taste in bite sized chunks.
