Good ol Warframe.
Should be the gold standard of free-to-play yet it is still one of its kind.
The story of its development is truly a fantastic "fuck you" to the gaming industry that told them their business model that actually respects the players wouldn't be successful.
my favourite success story. finding devs that care about its players in an industry that only cares about profit is truly special. rock and stone brother
Warframe is my go-to whenever I don't know what to play. Can always find a mission to jump into or a relic to crack.
Just finished playing Morrowind for the first time in decades. Half-tempted to go back and do it all again as a pure mage.
Failing that, I have so many games in my catalogs that I'm not sure where to start. Maybe Portal Revolution, maybe Brütal Legend, or maybe I finally get into the Witcher III. I keep trying to like Ride, but racing games never feel remotely like actually riding or driving a vehicle and I always spend my time in the weeds.
I've been playing this 'medieval' mod(s) for RimWorld which basically limits you to medieval tech and has a lot more crafting spaces to make materials for things, like a loom to make cloth or drying racks to make straw or dried meat. Its neat but a little quirky and doesn't seem well tuned in parts.
I've also been convincing people to try out PULSAR: The Lost Colony, which is like a first person Star Trek adventure co-op game. The game gets pretty close to doing cool stuff, and has great moments, but doesn't quite nail it overall. That's almost more frustrating to be honest.
I am still working my way through Expedition 33. I’m in Act 2 and I’d estimate about half way into that. I’m still absolutely loving it.
Picked up Star of Providence this past weekend and I'm hooked, the pause menu music has been looping in my head nonstop since
Finished playing through Atomic Heart, and because of that wanted to play a game that was, you know, actually fun instead of a miserable slog, so I've been playing Crab Champions and playing the original BioShock again for the millionth time. Sometimes Sea of Thieves.
I just finished playing Final Fantasy Pixel Remaster and have started Final Fantasy VI Pixel Remaster. I keep checking wikis and forum posts for information, since I hate missing things (especially things that you can't get back to). I think from here on out (I'm in one of the 3 Scenario Selects) I'll keep it as blind as I can.
I finally downloaded Ender Lilies: Quietus of the Knights, and think it's pretty cool. But maybe it's just because I haven't played a Metroidvania in 2 years.
Last but not least, I tried the demo for Big Hops after seeing Giant Bomb's Unfinished video on it. 3D Platformer that feels very good to move around in. Not sure how deep the story will go, or what mechanics they'll be adding as the game progresses, but it's been a delight so far.
If you ever get the urge to replay FF6, the best version (by far) is the fan hack called Brave New World. It removes countless glitches and bugs while also enhancing the level-up, combat, and magic systems, as well as provides a far deeper and more thoughtful quasi-class system (each character has branching 'classes' based on which equips/magicites you allow them, providing much better thought out synergies than the original).
As someone who has loved this game for 20+ years now, BNW is very easily the greatest version out there. Def give it a try if you want to see this game re-raised to its fullest potential!
Been playing Ori and the Will of the Wisps. Just completed Blind Forest and this seems like a great sequel so far. :)
Deliver At All Costs - fun game, but I swear the plot is just an excuse to feature those wonderful destruction mechanics.
Robocop - Actually not bad! I haven"t seen or played anything Robocop related in 30ish years, but I'll be damned if this game doesn't make you feel exactly like him ( for better or worse )
Pacific Drive - finally managed to finish this one after starting and abandoning it twice because it's just terrifying to me. ( I just had to start it again after reading Roadside Picnic and thinking "hey, this reads familiar" ). It's still terrifying, but absolutely great game.
Now I'm playing Kingdoms&Castles and Starbound again to calm the fuck down.
Deliver at all costs is pretty hilarious all round, really. I'm enjoying it on the Deck.
Robocop was a cool game, as a fan of the first film (AND ONLY THE FIRST FILM). I played that earlier in the year. I need to try it again in VR now I've upgraded my hardware. It choked hard on my old graphics card.
Shotgun Cop Man. Short sweet and simple from the people that made My Friend Pedro. The movement system and level design feels pretty sublime when you get in a good flow. And I just discovered there's Steam Workshop levels!
THERE'S SO MUCH GAMES!!
Clair Obscur whenever I actually feel like playing anything. Though I can only take so much of it at once. The story and music? Amazing. The old-school turn based JRPG combat? Even with the dodge and parry mechanics it's just as thrilling as an older FF game; and I hated the combat in those, too, because it's kinda boring. It's a bit more tolerable here, given that I have some skill-based things involved; but it's still fairly boring. I just wanna know what the fuck is up with the everything about this messed up world.
I recently finished Horizon Forbidden West and immediately started Oblivion Remastered. It’s just as good as I remember it and I’m enjoying exploring Cyrodiil all over again.
just started journey to Savage planet, which is a lot of fun.
the humor reminds me a lot of outer worlds and the exploration feels a lot like outer wilds, coincidentally.
I'm having a really good time playing it and will probably check out the sequel when I finish.
I've played some old Silver Box Dungeons and Dragons games (Heroes of the Lance, Dragons of Flame and Shadow Sorcerer) I got from a GOG promotion who knows how long ago. Stuff from 1988-1990. My god, those games suck HARD. Granted, PCs didn't have much in terms of "good real time action games", but those just feel awful from start to finish. The fact that increasing cycles or adding frameskips in DOSBox doesn't speed up the games doesn't help, either.
Shadow Sorcerer isn't as bad as the previous 2, no longer being a side scroller and being real time tactics, but it doesn't quite cut it.
Monster Hunter Wilds, and my friend and I play the Outlast Trials together. I haven't gotten far in MH, but I'm really enjoying it.
I just started Shin Megami Tensei Digital Devil Saga. It's a weird one and I love it! The atmosphere is incredible and the systems are really fun right out of the gate.
I also have a playthrough of Trails in the Sky SC going on and it's so charming. Great turn based combat too.
Aaaand I also tried out Slay the Spire for the first time to kill some time here and there and I have to say this thing should be regulated. So adictive!
Abiotic Factor - I'm close to reaching the end
I'm still looking for a game for the weekend. I'm thinking of something with exploration, management and maybe first-person.
I've been playing Blue Prince. It's fun.
Blue prince is a DEEP HOLE. Just solved my fourth sigil. It is really relaxing to go in play one day, put it down for a couple of days ruminating on what you learned, then pick it back up and play 2 more days.
Oh god, what sigils? I don't think I've even gotten to that yet. I've opened up the side yard and the mine, and got 3 of the 4 torches lit. There are so many puzzles! I think it's better to know nothing, though, and discover it along the way.
Finally installed Doom 2016. It's nice, but the gameplay is not clicking with me.
Finally started playing Kingdom Come Deliverance 1. A lot of the design decisions in the game are antithetic to my idea of fun. But there's a healthy mod community and a handfull of QOL mods later I'm having an absolute blast
Halls of Torment is nice
I'm playing through Black Mesa lately!
Picked it up on the recent discount and now I'm going through it, gonna do all of HL2 next, time to check out the 20th anniversary update.
Also Lumines Remastered just went on sale so you bet I'm gonna be playing the hell out of that
Just getting into FF7 Rebirth. Was a huge fan of the original, but these remakes are just so silly it’s kind of hard. And I really don’t like the active combat system in modern FF games, but I’ll get through it.
Always playing a little Rust here and there, can’t help myself.
Was about to resub to RuneScape after a yearlong break but then I saw Mod Jack got canned. Jagex getting darker every year…
Games I'm currently playing:
I think I like it, but I don't love it yet. It's undeniably well made. The story is told well, the acting, music, and graphics are all top notch. Really well done.
But the story isn't really hooking me yet. Something about that kind of fantasy story irks me. Like, the premise seems so outlandish and arbitrary that I can't tell if it's actually good or if it's just manipulative. I've seen so much praise for the intro, but to me it's like: "Every year on this day, something emotional and devastating happens!" Then it happens, apropos of nothing, and everyone is like, "Oh my god this intro is so emotional and devastating."
Just doesn't feel organic to me.
It's also not my type of game. I'm slightly less than neutral towards turn-based RPGs, and I'm firmly against parrying. Still, the execution is good enough that I'm going to stick it out a while longer.
I just can't seem to get past this no matter how hard I try.
Getting back into my 6 year old realm. Building a big stables near a cherry grove.
I've been playing this with my wife, and it's fantastic. Never boring, always clever and inventive. Just went through a whole pinball sequence that is just a master class in game design.
One of the best multiplayer games I've ever played. Also one of the best roguelikes. The gameplay is ridiculously tight, and the new characters are awesome. I wouldn't personally describe it as a coop Hades, but I wouldn't outright disagree with someone who did.
Shit, I just realized I've been playing a lot of games lately.
Don't know how far into Clair Obscur you are, but I recommend sticking with it. I can't really say anything else without spoilers but I found the story very good.
Chapter Master: Adeptus Dominus
Essentially a free, fan-made 40k game originally made like 20 years ago by one guy who has since moved on. Now it's a small team who drop semi-regular updates on github. Also, it runs on Linux
• Tainted Grail - Fall of Avalon • The Headliners • The Division 2 • Sea of Thieves • Tinykin
