The kind of game you daydream about while at school or work because you can’t wait to come home and play some more.

Rain World.

I have some spoilers (including the gist of the ending) but am playing as blind as I can manage. It’s nice to just play and discover without having a guide by my side.

Crusader Kings 3

Age of calamity is most recent. Not so much for the gameply but i got hugely into the BOTW lore and seeing everything before it got nuked to shit latched onto my obsessive little heart.

PC gaming, War for the Overworld

Currently hooked on Humanity, which I just got. I played until 6am the other day...

Help me.

Dayz currently. Before that, Rimworld. Before that, factorio.

The Finals has been my default game — if none of my friends are playing anything else — since it launched

I got back on the Warframe wagon with the Whispers in the Walls update. After a long break, I'm impressed how much better it is, and it's hooks are firmly back in my brain. The new location and the throat chanting type soundtrack from the semi-hidden boss regularly flash into my brain at awkward times.

Games really have to strike a chord with me to stick around in my memory. The last ones that truly left an impression were from when I first got into gaming. I can still vividly remember the impact of Mafia: The City of Lost Heaven, GTA 3, and Vice City and San Andreas—they consumed my thoughts entirely. The allure of uncovering hidden secrets, areas left unexplored, that's what really drew me in. Half-life 2 was a mind-blowing breakthrough with its physics and storytelling. But nowadays, that spark just seems to be missing. The closest I've come recently was with Blizzard's Heroes of the Storm. The thrill of snatching a victory against the odds, the sense of connection with total strangers—it was something special. It's the only game that still gets my heart racing these days. However, I've found myself drifting away from HotS more and more; it feels like the game is losing its luster (or maybe it's Blizzard who's letting it fade... or perhaps MOBAs in general are falling out of favor). As for recent gems that really struck a chord with me, I'd have to mention Hollow Knight, Control (seriously underrated in my opinion—easily one of the best metroidvanias out there, if not the best), and Baldur's Gate 3, which was unexpectedly captivating.

Desperados 3. I've put in close to 100 hours on it and I'm just 4 achievements away from completing all its challenges. I'm so bummed its developer had to close down a few months ago because their games are criminally underrated and are from a very niche genre.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 7 months ago* (last edited 7 months ago)

Right now, Death Stranding.

Edit: I went back to look at the reception of this game from at its release. It did great at the VGAs, but general consensus on Reddit and other forums negative. I also remember how much The Giant Beastcast shat on that game (I stopped listening to them pretty soon after that too, but for unrelated reason).

A link to the past, I couldn’t put that down once I started it

World of warcraft. With season 4 coming out soon and spending time with guildies doing mount achievements, I'm getting hyped for new stuff to do

Palworld! Couldn't stop playing it with my friends, it was such a blast! I say "was", because we quickly all got to level 50 and now we're waiting for a big update that'll make the game fresh again!

[–] [email protected] 2 points 7 months ago (1 children)

League of Legends. Please send help.

Signalis. Which is weird, its over in 10 hours but I got hooked on the fandom crack until recently.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 7 months ago

The Finals, can't get enough of it since launch. Pushing for top 1000 this week.
