Sorry for the really late thread!! Got icky feeling after a covid booster. As for me I’ve finished silksong! Absolutely outstanding! Top 5 game for me 🙏. On to silent hill f for spooky season
I played some Crusader Kings III.
I haven’t played much (under 10 hours) but I started one of the “easy” starts and it isn’t going poorly. I always hit the point in complex games where I’m not exactly sure what to do.
Still playing Silksong, I should probably be getting to Act 3 now, but I’m procrastinating and trying to find more hidden places.
I have been procrastinating and exploring every nook and cranny of that world. Its amazing how much it feels real and lived in. Like they have the whole thing figured out down to why some screws are more rusted than others.
I am so reluctant to start act 3 cause i already struggled with the first funeral. Its gonna break me i just know it.
Had Hollow Knight for a while but never played it so I wanted to go through it before starting Silksong. I can see now why people were so excited for this game
Still addicted to Maze Mice. It has definitely been worth the purchase.
I have also been slowly chipping away at the latest release of Plants vs Zombies Universe. Difficult fan game and I’m love it so far. Just wish I could get it to run through either wine or proton without needing to figure out the right prefixes and other such things to get it to actually run under Linux because I ain’t smart enough to figure that out. I really hope they’re able to release a full game before EA and/or Talkweb ( the people currently behind pvz2 chinese edition ) put the kibosh on the project.
Otherwise it’s just been the occasional Slay the Spire or Dungeon Clawler runs.
I also just installed Sonic Lost World and need to figure out how to get the mod that improves things like not losing speed when turning right or left working. The 3DS version I got on console from Hshop is fun and all, but I wanna try the PC version. Got the DLC mod working, so I can run through those when I’m ready.
I played a bit of Resonance of Fate, but after realizing how repetitive the combat is, I kinda dropped it. I’m probably a bit burnt out on JRPGs too.
I too am in the mood for horror, so I’m playing Fatal Frame: Maiden of Black Water
Wow, congrats on beating Silksong! I’ve been watching my partner play and am afraid of the bosses, not sure how far I’ll get in it.
I’m slowly working through Baby Steps and having a blast with every tumble. It’s hard at first but after a handful of hours I’ve got a rhythm to scramble up most inclines. I find the navigation fun in the same way I like Snowrunner’s exploration: difficult terrain that can be learned and quickly traversed.
I’m also finishing Sniper Elite V2 because I never completed it and I didn’t want to buy the new Resistance game.
Huh i never knew there was a remake of Sniper Elite V2, might have to check it out. Thanks for mentioning it
I actually didn’t know that until a few days ago, I’m playing the original! They definitely went the right route in the newer games with the sandbox level design, but I’m still having fun with the linear levels
still d&d dark alliance because I have been playing a few mins at a time. I really need to play the witcher but it can lock you into getting to a point that is not clear where it is or waste time redoing.
So i dont see Sonic Racing mentioned much.
Its one of the other things i use to relax after Silk Song and i find it really interesting. Its not a clone of mario kart in that each car legit feels like it drives differently. And you have to play smart but can also play wildly because of the insane items and shortcuts.
I think it reminds me of Gran Turismo but with mario kart items. And Sonic music. I dont know if i just wanted something different and i am giving it more credit.
Finished Enotria: The Last Song and even did a quick NG+ run to get the secret ending and its achievement. Not going to bother with 100%-ing it, however. I really enjoyed my time with it overall. For a somewhat janky AA Soulslike it’s got a lot of charm and the Commedia Dell’Arte framing is great. Beautiful environments and some well designed levels, enough fun to be had with the skill tree, loadout switching, active abilities and elemental/status system. Not too hard (which is fine by me at this stage of my life) and short enough to not overstay its welcome. If you’re a Soulslike fan and can stomach AA games it’ll do the job if you’re done with the usual suspects. I still wouldn’t pay full price for it, but as part of the current €17 Humble Bundle it feels like good value and if you’re not interested in the other games in there then keep it in mind for a future deep sale.
Next I’m not sure. I started playing GRIME that I’ve had my eye on for a while and snagged recently when it was on an all-time low sale, but even though I can tell it’s really good it’s not grabbed me yet. Spooktober made me pirate Cronos: The New Dawn to try it and see if I like it, otherwise I have an impending Alan Wake 2 revisit planned. I still haven’t played the DLCs but I want to replay the Final Draft again first in preparation.
I made the mistake of buying the Europa Universalis IV base game, and getting 3 months of subscription for all DLCs… Im playing the Anbennar mod, which is a fantasy total conversion of the game. There goes the little bit of spare time I still have…
Glad people are enjoying Silksong, not my style of game but it sounds like a fantastic game for fans of the genre.
Still working on the legendary PvE armor in Guild Wars 2, gold is the biggest issue. I’m taking a break from that to play Borderlands 3, which is just leaps and bounds above Borderlands 2 gameplay wise. I got burned out of 2 when it got a bit harder towards the end and i really didn’t want to do a bunch of sidequests to hopefully get some better weapons, i just didn’t enjoy the gameplay anymore.
I also want to buy and play Hades II, but i don’t really have the time for that as well right now. Something to look forward to :)
