Hey y’all, what have you been playing?

I have been playing quite a bit of lies of p, and I started cocoon as well. Both super solid games. I’m getting my PC back tomorrow so I think I’m going to finally start Alan wake 2 as well!

    Picked up Palworld and started it today. It is pretty fun and, as long as they patch it and support it, it could be a fantastic time waster.

    We bought Palworld yesterday, probably play that most of the week. It mashes up a lot of games and has some nice QoL updates from similar games (like Ark)

    I just finished Portal Revolution. Puzzles were high quality. Story, script and voice acting was meh. Now I’m playing Outriders, which I bought during the winter sale. Super mid game, very formulaic gameplay. Story and visuals are kinda cool.

      I’m playing through portal rev now. Every time I finish a section of traveling I feel like I’m a genius solving all the little 2 or 3 step puzzles. Then the path opens up into one of the huge puzzle rooms and I’m like shit where do I even start this looks impossible.

      I’m getting through it all and enjoying the journey.

    Sill playing Aurora. Missle combat is very different and it took a while to learn. I’m hitting my stride now I feel.

    Also in the middle of Citizen Sleeper. An RPG where you’re playing a transhuman cyborg traped on a space station. It’s been interesting. I would compare it to Disco Elysium. That title obviously had a better budget but Sleeper holds up well.

        Ico and Shadow of the Colossus are two of my favorites. I even loved The Last Guardian, in spite of its flaws.

          Shadow of the colossus is in my top 10. I just beat last guardian after playing for like 2 years. Struggled getting into it but the other day i decided to power through to the end and i absolutely loved the end. I have high hopes for ico

            I hope you enjoy it as much as I did. It has a deeper story than Shadow of the Colossus, but the combat hook in SotC is just soooooo good.

            The Last Guardian just needed another 3-6 months of tightening up, I think. But if they waited much longer they would have missed the PS4 entirely.

    Dave the Diver! It looks so goofy but give it a shot. It’s got hilarious cutscenes, and a really well executed blend of roguelike, restaurant game, resource management, and story RPG.

    I’ve been playing a ton of Pillars of Eternity still. I think I can wrap up Kana’s quest before I head into Act 3. I’ve got a lot of irons in the fire of my quest log that look like I need to advance the plot or level up more to finish them, so Act 3 is maybe when they intended for me to finish those.

    My time I’d normally use for gaming has gone in to starting to learn FreeCAD, which I guess I could argue is an open world builder game.

    Tried out Palworld a couple of days ago on Game Pass.

    Not really my thing. People focused on the monster catching “Pokémon with guns” stuff, but it’s still a survival/crafting/building game at its core, and I rarely ever enjoy those (there are like three exceptions total). Glad other people are enjoying it, though.

    Might go back and replay Cassette Beasts at some point. Also, buy the deluxe edition with the DLC and all (I know it’s small and short, but I don’t mind) because the devs deserve every cent. Soundtrack as well, because it’s fucking awesome.

    Kind of funny how I never cared about “catching 'em all” when it came to any of the Pokémon games, but I was more than happy to record everything in CB given the right motivation.

    EDIT: Yeah, Cassette Beasts has been fun again. Also, I really like the DLC monsters. It is short, but it’s still a fun little experience. Started a new run with randomised monster locations and types and it feels like a different game entirely. Had to try a few times due to RNG fucking me on the first two runs, but third one is going well so far (although I don’t know if I’ll ever get used to Telekitty not being lightning).

    Currently, I play Alwa’s Awakening on the Evercade. Very cute and hard, at times, metroidvania.

    Still mainly Diablo 4, but a lot less this week. I finished my seasonal goals faster than I thought, and have been slowly mopping up some of the stuff that’s season independent. I filled out the map, found the Altars (3/4 by myself the rest with a guide), and also did all the dungeons to unlock the legendary aspects, but I guess those reset, and you have to do them again in the new season (or just the ones you’re interested in).

    Then I also did more Soulstone Survivors runs. So far I’ve been mainly playing as the default class, the barbarian, and unlocking everything for him. There’s so much stuff, and then do a lot more for all the other classes as well. It’s fun, though still lacks a bit of variety, mainly in the levels.
