Still obsessed with Star Wars: The Old Republic after all these years

[–] squirrelwithnut@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

Last Epoch. The campaign isn't anywhere close to as good as Diablo, but the crafting and end game is way, way better. Despite it being in early access, it's very polished already. I'm having a lot of fun with it. I'm looking forward to 1.0 in December.

I'm still playing Lies of P. 26 hours into the first playthrough Not sure if I will finish it though. I felt more frustrated towards LoP than when I played FromSoft's games.

I hate that it uses multi-phase bosses so much, yet these phases tend to have nothing related to the earlier phase.

[–] PostMalort@lemmy.ml 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I'm playing this as well and while I haven't played sekiro, lies of p is harder than any of the other From soft games I have played.

[–] learningduck@programming.dev 2 points 2 years ago

After a long while, I felt more adjusted to their delayed attack and parry windows. However, I stopped playing for a week and now, I feel like I have to readjust the timing again lol.

I'm still working my way through Baldurs Gate 3: I guess I'm around the middle of Act 2. I am still loving the game :).

[–] Im_Randy_Butter_Nubs@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago (2 children)

I'm at about the same point. Though I keep putting off playing it as I don't want it to end!

[–] bleepbloopbleep@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

I'm in Act 3 and there's tons to do.

I'm also already planning a second run since I've missed so much in Act 1 and 2... although I've already played for 105 hours.

This game is insane when it comes to detail!

Half Life - Alyx

[–] JakenVeina@lemm.ee 2 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Finished final achievements in Armoed Core 6.

Picked up Unrailed for $5 on Steam (great purchase).

Started a fresh file Ilin Stardew Valley, cause why not?

[–] Chee_Koala@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

One more shoutout for unrailed, last videogame I played with my dad before we had to say goodbye. Very cool gameplay, tension without (much) violence, excellent co-op and A+ soundtrack. Simple idea, perfect execution

[–] caut_R@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

Tales of Arise cause I think I‘m out of exploration options in Hollow Knight and don‘t have the patience to overcome skill issue for the bosses that are next rn

Pizza Possum. Very small indie game, but very fun.

[–] mudassar_ali2009@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

Gonna play dead island 2 this weekend

[–] Retreaux@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

I've been bouncing between Red Dead 2 and Cyberpunk (don't have the new DLC yet though, was going to clear all the base gigs first). I love the open world whiplash I'm getting between these two amazing character driven stories.

[–] TheSpermWhale@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

I came back to Phasmophobia after a while. I forgot how much I love this game

[–] setsneedtofeed@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

I realized that after my long strategy gaming atrophy, I wasn’t ready to just jump into XCOM2 with War Of The Chosen content.

I decided to take it slow by playing the first Firaxis XCOM, with no DLC. Just plain vanilla.

It’s been a good priming for more complex strategy. Vanilla XCOM is friendly (perhaps too friendly) to stacking overwatch, with missions rarely being time sensitive, and the time sensitive one’s being very generous.

I still lost a few rookies early on, but I’m very close to beating the game. I already have a suitable psionic soldier, I just had to turn off the game on Sunday before I could build the special psionic armor.

I’ve got a squad of colonels with the stronger perks, best weapons and gear, and I’m ready to assault the alien HQ.

I’ll probably replay with Enemy Within DLC, and then move to XCOM 2.

I can't remember the specific name, but I am playing the latest in the Monkey Island series. I know it got a lot of hate online due to its unique graphics, but it has all the humor I always loved about Monkey Island and it is definitely worth playing. Especially since it is free on gamepass

[–] lazycouchpotato@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

Sackboy: A Big Adventure, since my PS Plus subscription is running out and I don't intend on renewing due to the price increase.

After that, I'm going to start God Of War.

Typical MMO addict - Guild Wars 2

[–] reluctantpornaccount@reddthat.com 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Thanks to the First Descendant beta, I'm probably putting another couple hundred hours into Warframe.
