Maybe some Sacred Gold or Kirby: Forgotten land. Away from my gaming pc so old laptop and switch will have to do.

Starfield

Just finished breath of the wild and hitman absolution. Went back to journey to the savage planet for the first time in ages. I also played some Mario tennis on citra.

Been playing Helldivers 2, really fun game!
Question about it: It offers a curved HUD option in the settings, which is really neat in the YT vids I’ve seen, especially since I have a curved monitor. I’d love to enable this, but it doesn’t work at all for me. Does it for anyone else?

Just got Snufkin: Melody of the Moomin Valley

Originally for my wife, but she got annoyed by the movement too fast. My favourite review of the game so far:

"In this game you will play as the world famous criminal and ecoterrorist Snufkin.

Snufkin is unemployed but charismatic traveller-musician helping various interesting creatures of Moominvalley, all while sabotaging typical autocratic right-winger Hemulen's plans on making up mundane rules and destroying everything good and beautiful.

Cops in the game are represented evil and stupid, as they are in real life, so I would recommend the game for the whole family as educational game.

On the serious note: Gameplay is fine for this type of game. The core is in the atmosphere, dialogue and sound design which all are great. So far the experience has been smooth, fun and relaxing. Would recommend, but adults should not expect much challenge here."

WoW raid carry and LoL

Just finished Drakengard 3 and feeling empty - both because the final boss fight took me 4 days to beat and because, despite many issues I have with the game, ending still managed to hit pretty hard. I love this shitty game.

This is my conundrum.

I would like to play Age of Water for Xbox Series X.

...at the same time;

I would like to not be disappointed.

Deltarune Chapter 2

Tried playing Sly Cooper: Thieves In Time using RPCS3 on my laptop. Didn't get far into the tutorial before it completely froze. Gave up and completely removed RPCS3 because it was also causing my laptops fan to work hard.

Otherwise, I at least started to get back into Krosmaga by playing a single match in a very long time on my phone last night.

I've finally got and sat down to play Cyberpunk 2077: Phantom Liberty.

And I had not played since around release when I beat the game. I will say this: If this game had come out in this state - including the content from the xpack - I would have loved it. It's still buggy and janky, but little enough to be funny instead of grating. All the new interactions they added like romances visiting you is amazing and adds a lot of details and atmosphere, and the new story being far more on-rails helps so much in establishing and keeping tension.
My one big criticism I'd still have is for how much the game sometimes struggles against it's underlying design. The whole map being a city feels weird, because like the countryside in Witcher III, vast areas of it feel dead and empty. Luckily with the xpack being centered on the very dense and compact Dogtown, that is largely solved for the new content.

8/10, would recommend if you enjoyed Cyberpunk 2077.

Splatoon on Wii U

Playing 5 games right now....

• Mega Man (original NES version) - fast paced and better than I expected platformer

• Lonely Mountains Downhill - calming and chill mountain biking game

• Voices of the Void - silly and mildly aggravating at times but fun once you get into it simulator game

• Sam & Max Hit the Road - funny point-and-click adventure game with puzzles that are fair and logical

• Skies Of Arcadia - classic turn based RPG with an entertaining story can't believe I never played it years ago

  My game tips for each game

  spoiler

  • Mega Man (original NES version) - keep shooting while jumping forward, keep distance from the bosses, time jumps based on audio cues
  • Lonely Mountains Downhill - take the shortcuts whenever possible
  • Voices of the Void - upgrade your server stability stat as soon as possible, use the toilet to restore stamina, buy shrimp packs
  • Sam & Max Hit the Road - read the game manual for minigame instructions, check each screen very carefully
  • Skies Of Arcadia - use gear grease in ship battles, use increm magic to increase attack, red and purple magic are strong against each other

im more of a casual gamer but: please try cats are liquid
