What have you all been playing!
I am back on my SMW ROM hack kick. Recently completed a plumber for all seasons. I highly recommend it to anyone interested in ROM hacks. Great traditional style hack with beautiful art
I can’t for the life of me stop playing Rimworld. Man that game is addicting.
Minesweeper
I decided to buy a Switch yesterday. Don’t know why. Something piqued my interest to play Nintendo. I bought it with Super Mario Bros. Wonder. It’s fantastic and light and fun and my kid loves it too. I almost regret not buying it on launch. It is such a pleasure to play a cartridge-based game without load times or hearing a fan whirring.
There are definitely load times in that game.
You’re right, but it isn’t like some games I’ve tried with my son on PS4 where is has enough time to go to he toilet while the next level loads.
I just finished replaying DMC V. After replaying DMC 1 - 4 + DmC in the past 6 months, made me realize that I don’t like playing as Nemo. He feels underpowered at times, and his skillset are kinda boring compared to Dante.
In DMC V, I enjoyed my time playing as Dante and V.
V is a change of pace, being slower and ranged, while Dante has really satisfying moves and weapons. I like Nemo’s robotic arm, but the idea that it’s a consumable and sometimes you might ended up picking up an arm that you are not familiar with, does disrupt the flow. Even his basic swordplay feels kinda lacking.
Isn’t his name Nero? Also I feel like he was meant to be an accessibility gateway for new comers.
I played DMC3 years ago and never really understood the genre. It was fun, but every other game like it felt exactly the same to me. Then Hi-Fi Rush came out this year, and it clicked, so before this year’s releases started really kicking off in summer, I played through DMC1-3 and half of 4. I’ll get back to it soon enough, but I really liked what I played of 4; it was the best one so far, honestly. Were your problems with Nero limited to how he plays in 5, or did that criticism also apply to 4?
IIRC, Nemo was bit unsatisfying to play in DMC4, and the issue kinda exacerbated in DMCV. He feels underpowered compared to others.
I also remember being really frustrated by the platforming for the secret stages in 4.
They are still good games though.
I started GTA V for the first time. Until now it seems pretty funny, even if controls feel clunky
I’m replaying of all things “Spyro” Reignited on Switch - a game that is so much more difficult than people ever admit. I’ve only made it through about half the first game and 60 percent or of the second game - I always have to quit them both because the mid-game boss battles are impossible and the stress makes me physically sick very quickly.
I have no idea what the rest of those first two games actually look like, I could never get that far. I’m battling through the third game (very very difficult game) and hoping I can make it to the end this time (but doubt it). It’s a fun game, but it’s not for casual gamers at all.
Finally finishing Celeste, after not playing it for a couple of years
Lately I’ve been playing Plants vs Zombies, and I was planning on playing Halo Infinite as soon as I can get the campaign to stop crashing when it first loads
Celeste is a wonderfully brutal game. I love the characters and the whole idea behind, “conquer a hard thing just to say I did it.” To be fair, that is what it feels like when climbing mountains or other large rock structures
Plants vs Zombies is the best tower defense game out there. Y’all can fight me on that.
Started Terra Nil today and it’s a lot of fun! I suck at strategy games so even the easy mode made me frustrated lol, but it’s so beautiful and clearing every stage is totally worth it.
Replaying CP2077 after the new patch, it’s awesome
I have been playing NO Man’s Sky since the autumn Steam sale. Unfortunately I feel like I have gotten to a point where I’m a little bored. It feels a bit repetitive and I feel a bit aimless. Will probably start on The Talos Principle 1 and 2 next.
Still conquering the Old World in “Total War: Warhammer”. I’m playing as Dwarves. I killed almost all greenskin tribes and conquered the Badlands. Now turning my attention north to the undead.
Continuing to work my way through the Duke Nukem 1+2 Remasters on Evercade. So much love went into these its ridiculous.
Dwarf fortress (original ascii version)
I just finished Detroit: Become Human.
I decided to play it after I upgraded my Deck’s SSD to 2TB.
And I’ve been spending a lot of time on Halo: Infinite.
Rise of the Tomb Raider
