What’s all playing?
I’ve been playing more UFO 50, working my way through the RPG Grimstone.
Also beat Rise of the Golden Idol. A fantastic sequel that I highly encourage if you enjoyed the original.
I finished the main game for Control, and the DLCs and the side quests, and got all the outfits, but I’m still not ready to put it away, so now I’m just working on finding all the collectables and filling out the ability tree.
For the first time ever, I am at the very end of Fallout New Vegas, Mr. House run. It’s been a couple years with long breaks, but I cannot wait to be able to say I’ve finally completed the main story of a fallout game.
Also been enjoying Anomaly Collapse on my laptop. Fun enough rougelite (rougelike?) with metaprogression. Though I’d recom skipping the small amount of dialogue present in runs after the first few times because it’s the same dialogue regardless of what characters you play as.
I just started a new NV game and maybe I can finally say the same. I’ve got like 300+ hours into Fallout 4 and still haven’t completed the main story.
Last week I handed over too much money for a game that I’m now determined to grind until there is nothing left to grind.
Raiden NOVA
I might even write a review for it.
It’s essentially Geometry Wars set in the Raiden universe with a roguelite aspect (other users say it is like Vampire Survivors, but I haven’t played that game). Graphics are (very) dated, but gameplay is satisfying. Main arcade can be beat in about 1.5 hours but if you want all the ships and buffs and achievements you need to commit yourself to grinding over 80 hours.
Either way, it is one of the few physical Switch games (other than all the flagship Mario games my son loves) that I own and plus it is an import which is neat.
I’m getting my ass repeatedly handed to me in Stalker 2 but enjoying it. Also continuing to dump hours into Vampire Survivors. Started replaying Road Redemption also so I can get my modern day Road Rash fix.
Currently I’m back on Neverwinter. I stopped playing some time ago and this weekend I was lost in all the quests the younger version of me accepted. It’s still quite fun, though.
Currently Last epoch. They improved a lot since last time I played
I definitely need to get back into LE, I’ve hardly played for the last couple of cycles. Thanks for the reminder!
I’ve been mostly playing Etrian Odyssey, I’m at the 4th stratum.
I’ve also played a bit of Balatro which is really fun, but I’ve played too little to tell if it suffers from the usual issues I have with roguelikes (mainly the difficulty curve in a run).
Working my way through Baldurs Gate 2 ee. Never finished it back in the early 00s. Maybe this time I’ll rescue Imoen and figure out Jon Irenicus’ deal. Currently still side questing.
A heathen I might be, but I still prefer BG2 over BG3. And Jon Irenicus might just be one of the best video game villains of all time.
You’re not alone.
