Black Mesa(HL1 relive) (finished)
It’s sometimes horrifying scary, and stressful, but it’s so great, I hate the underwater sections, but this game definitely is a masterpiece. When I saw the sky, this game became so good
Rusty Lake: Roots (finished)
I truly intended to play through this game without spoilers, but I failed at about 60% progress. Then I found the puzzle to be not that interesting
Honestly, I didn’t enjoy this game, the puzzles were boring for me. I won’t play any more games in this series.
My Summer Car(just started)
This game is about a Finnish guy and his car. I love the game’s nostalgic 90s atmosphere so much. However, I estimate it will take me about 50-100 hours to complete it. So, I have suspended playing it for now.
Elite: Dangerous(abandoned)
I have complicated feelings about this game. The controls feel so good and realistic. The scenery of flying a spaceship to explore the planet’s surface is breathtakingly beautiful and lonely. When my pilot died from running out of fuel, and then oxygen, the suffocation process, accompanied by the gradually increasing breathing sounds, was both terrifying and strangely captivating.
However, the game has numerous glitches and inconvenient aspects. Unfortunately, My patience ran out after a while, I abandoned it.
What a pity, if this game were further developed and polished, it could have been a true masterpiece.
Overall, I still recommend it if you’re truly interested in the space simulation genre. Even just playing for 5-20 hours is a worthwhile experience.
I recently played through Disco Elysium and i think it may be time soon for a 2nd run through soon!
DoDonPachi Resurrection
Half life 1 with rtx mod
Playing Blasphemous 2 right now. Definitely a lot of QoL improvements over part 1.
Beat two bosses so far, both with great move sets but the second one was a little bit on the easy side.
Also, playing Super Mario Galaxy for the first time on my Deck.
Dead Space. The remake looks great and the sound design is bonkers. I love the utilitarian design of the tech as well. Headphones are recommended.
Too many stutters though
Just started Baldurs Gate 3 and have been enjoying it so far. My biggest complaint is that the keyboard map is just off enough from the Owlcats Pathfinder games that I keep screwing up small things.
Also looking at getting back into the system Shock remake since the big box finally showed up yesterday.
The original Call of Duty. Just installed this weekend and haven’t played it since early 2000’s. After that I plan to play the very first Call of Duty Black Ops which I never actually played the story of.
Enjoy! I remember really liking the campaign of Black Ops. I don’t remember the story anymore but I remember it being great
System Shock (the remake) with a cut-down version of the Ironman mod to provide randomization. It’s only slight loot randomization so there’s no major pathing changes but it’s fun nonetheless.
I like randomizers. They add some additional replay value to already good games. I must’ve played through randomized Bloodstained a down times already – and twice that for Super Metroid. (And then there’s the beautiful mess that is randomized Borderlands 2. I don’t think I’m ever going to finish a run but man are they wild.)
Re-playing Half-Life 2 with the massive update. Still a great game.
I hope the developer commentary is on.
Dragon Quest 9 on DS (emulated). Prior to this I was playing Kingdom Hearts Recoded also on DS (emulated). My recommendation is to enjoy what retroachievements does to your old favorites, lol (can’t wait for DOSBox integration).
I’m generally a PC gamer but I was playing the steam ports of Kingdom Hearts (they are bad ports) and now I’m just emulating things. Can you believe those lunatics lumped 4 games of achievements into a single set without any order? There’s even duplicate names for things, it’s a wildly sloppy port, lol. Not recommended.
Still thoroughly sucked into Pathfinder: Kingmaker. At least I’ve stopped poking around in side areas now, just focusing on advancing the main story. Also doing companion quests. This might be the longest not-live-service game I’ve ever played? I think I still have at least two more full chapters to go.
I just finished my third playthrough of it. I was disappointed to find out at the end that I screwed up one of the story points I was going after, but oh well. It was still a fun experience. After three time though I doubt I’ll go through it again. Still one of my favorites.
I ain’t playin’ shit. I haven’t had any gaming time in over a week. I’m very, very sad. Perhaps tonight will be the night? Probably not, but one can hope.
I feel that. I haven’t played anything in over a week either. I’ve had lots of (good) news that’s quite tiring to deal with, plus work has been busy lately and I have family visiting. All good stuff (except maybe work), but still, I miss playing games
I do the vast majority of my gaming from November through February (i.e. “winter”). Outside of that window, I rarely have time to play, and even when I have time, I usually have other things I’d rather do. I probably have another month or so of my gaming season left. Things just didn’t work out this year.
On the flip side, I managed to get about 45 minutes of down time this afternoon unexpectedly. So I fired up Doom (2016), which is the game I’ve focused on this season. I managed to make it to mission 12 out of 13, so I’m pretty close to the end as far as I can tell! It seems likely I’ll be able to finish it in a matter of days, so long as I can find the time!
Fire Emblem: New Mystery of the Emblem (the Japan only one)
I was going to try to blind ironman like FE11, on the first Hard difficulty setting, but while losing my healers in chapter 2 and 3x due to silly boss moving and ambush reinforcements was funny, losing two seemingly important characters in turn 2, because of a Thief you can’t kill in 1 turn without using a staff, was not. (They ended up not saying anything in the postbattle cutscene anyways, lol)
I’ll still try not to reset, as per usual in FE (I LIKE losing units and trying out replacements), but not if I lose out on recruitable characters because I didn’t figure out the puzzle solution for the first 3 turns. I did kill Matthis because he suicided into me, but fuck that guy.
We’ve made it to level 19 in Pantheon.
