Palworld was on game pass so I gave it a shot. It’s actually pretty fun for a simple time waster. After this run I don’t think ill ever play it again unless they work in a really good story mode

Last week I went deep into Next Fest and came up with a bunch of demos, to varying success. Tried Synergy (promising), Sword of Convallaria (great, but deeply concerned about the mobile/gacha systems), Guild Saga: Vanished Worlds (not great, borrows shamelessly from Divinity: Original Sin 2), and Balatro (surprisingly interesting).

For now, I'm kind of bouncing around, not being able to settle on anything. Might go back to Atelier Ayesha tonight.

Back on my Rimworld addiction.

Been alternating between replaying Elden Ring on my PC and the original Ratchet and Clank on my new (to me) PS2. Making good progress in both.

Currently working through the last level in R&C and I forgot how brutally unforgiving that game is with the limited health and scarce checkpoints.

I'm almost through the academy in ER. Fixing to fight whatshername with the giant baby and the kamehameha attack. Already beat that god-damn OP knight guarding the entrance to her boss room.

Elden Ring and Dark Souls 1. And I intend to play them forever. Wish bb was on PC :(

Depending on how far you wanna go, it is IIRC (emulation)

Replaying Ghost of Tsushima. I beat it on PS4 back when it came out and started a New Game Plus save, but stopped playing after that so never played the expansion. I got the Director's Cut on PS5 and have currently finished Act 1 and the expansion and am working on Act 2.

Playing "Thief: The Black Parade"

It's a fan mod released this year, for a game that was released in 1998. It was a labor of love that took 7 years to complete and is the most stunning mod I have ever seen for any game period.

They push the engine to its limits, the scale, creativity, level design and story are near perfection. The story and playtime are so good it feels like an official game. You forget it's not canon.

I can't believe this came along, it was truly refreshing. It won the 2023 ModDB mod of the year.

Mandalore did a great review, and mini tutorial about how to launch a 26 year old game on modern systems.

Persona 3 Reload. Only played a bit of the original but I'm loving this remake. The QoL updates make it feel more fun and less of a slog. And I love the newer graphic style.

Did a bit of helldivers 2 with friends. Good fun but between work and kids I don't have a lot of multi-player game time anymore.
