I primarily mean video games. However, if you’ve played some kind of interesting table top or card game I’d like to hear about that too! I’ve been replaying the Witcher 3 lately.
I’m trying to play different genres to see what’s out there, and have found some neat little games in the sale steam just had.
Nocturnals - This one was great. The game is obviously made by people who don’t have a team of a hundred artists under them, but they did a really good job crafting the story. It’s short, but has multiple endings, and I haven’t found all of them yet.
Digging a Hole - This one made me chuckle. It’s motherload from the miniclip era of website gaming, but in 3D. Wouldn’t spend a ton on it, but if it goes on sale it will be amusing for you. Still haven’t completed the speedrun challenge for it. First time took me about 12 hours, while the challenge is 30 minutes.
Roguebook - in the same ‘universe’ as faeria, which I enjoyed. It’s basically slay the spire with different themes and a more punishing/variable path to the boss.
and, finally my favorite right now: Young Souls - it just has a really fun visual appearance and gameplay. I’ve been surprised by how much I struggled with some of the fights. I haven’t beaten it yet, but the story has some of the classic elements, but the writers put some thought into their tropes and made the characters more than just shallow pictures playing a part.
I started to play RE2: Remake somedays ago. Has been a struggle since I only have like 2 hours to play per day. Yesterday started the second part of the game with Claire, and man, I laugh my ass off because the fucking zombies doesn’t let her take a breath.
I’ve been playing on void linux with GE-Proton10-15 (GE-Proton10-19 came out like 3 hours ago, for someone’s information)
Damn I haven’t played an RE game since probably RE6. I’ve always loved horror movies but I think I’m too much of a big baby to play horror games regularly.
I skipped RE6 and all of the RE: Revelations games. I can’t play those games because I can’t handle the action factor that they have. Still, the last RE games I played were RE7 and RE8. I loved them, especially 8.

I used to love the ratchet and clank series. But I haven’t had a sony console since the PS2

I just bought ratchet and clank rifts apart. Still waiting to play it. But I’m glad others like it!
Did you play with keyboard or controller? And what would u recommend?

Nice, i only have a steam controller, but I guess it’ll still be better than keyboard haha
After 6 years, Sekiro finally clicked with me and I got all 4 endings for it within few weeks.
Replayed Alan Wake and Control, now playing Alan Wake 2. The stories are so well written and interesting
Those games are a trip! Love all the FMV stuff they did.
For video games, I just beat silksong, which was super fun and pretty brutal. The art and music is phenomenal though, it’s a great game. Working on Hades 2 right now, which is also fantastic and I’d recommend.
For board games I’ve been getting my group into the Heroes 3 board game. It’s the biggest box I’ve ever seen for a game lol. It does a great job of feeling like the computer game while meeting the constraints of a board game, plus there’s lots of bits to fiddle with. Downside is its huge, so you need a big table or a group comfortable playing on the floor.
I genuinely dont know if luddo is a global game? Does everyone know of luddo?
Ludo? I haven’t played that since I was a tiny kid! I can’t say I remember much about how it’s played.
Very basic dice game. Keep moving until you get home. Can capture others pieces too.
Never heard of it, but, I am dumb…
Its a board game. Ideally 4 players. 3 can do it too. 2 is not fun imo.
Try it. Theres active website and apps for it too.
Its so basic that it will take under a minute to learn and 2 games to master
I think I’m about halfway through Stray and love every minute.
I’ve also been playing Pokemon Emerald: Seaglass as a really gorgeous re-imagining of Emerald.
I really enjoyed Stray the world is gorgeous (in it’s dingy apocalyptic way) and I enjoyed how they used the mechanics with a couple change ups to keep it interesting but not out-staying there welcome.
The ending I thought was really good.
Check out spirit of the north if you wanna play a game where youre a cute fox
I’ve been hooked on Factorio lately. I think it’s helping with some of the decision paralysis shit I’ve been dealing with at work.
Just finished Sunderfolk with a group of friends and my wife. Also finished Expedition 33 (and I’ll never stop talking about it).
I’m about halfway through Dodgeball Academy and Chants of Sennaar. They’re a fun little distraction before I dig into Blue Prince and Hades
Just finished SOMA a few years late. Asks some very good questions…
I loved Soma, so much existential angst.
I love the big revelations and how they are done. It’s definitely a game which makes you think.
I also love that they put in the no deaths mode so you can ignore the monsters which whilst cool I don’t think added much to the experience for me other than frustration trying to sneak past them.
I’ve been playing only retro games lately and I just finished Castlevania: Symphony of the Night for a second time yesterday. Now I’m continuing playing the Fatal Frame saga on my ps2.
Just finished my annual Far Cry 2 play through, and it was as chaotic and random as ever.
Man that series fell off quickly after that one. I liked 3 a good bit, but it was still a massive downgrade from Far Cry 2 in some respects. Just replayed 2 on PC at the start of the year after not playing it since the Xbox 360 days in 720p.
100%'d Silksong, my game of the decade so far.
It took them seven years to make it. I doubt they will release another installment in five years so definitely GotD.
Not battlefield 6, i dont get the hype, at least my gameshare friend bought it himself because he wanted it, feels worse than 2042 in some ways
