MW2 - DMZ
I've been hearing a lot about "extraction shooters" in the last month, and DMZ was the most suggested one to try. So I gave it a try this week.
I'm no stranger to FPS games, I watched a few hours of DMZ beginner videos so I understand the systems. But jumping into MW2 as a newbie... the MW2 client is overwhelming with battle passes, account level, rank ups, perk unlocks, missions, etc. etc.
I just started both Diablo IV and Star Wars: Jedi Survivor. I haven't spent a ton of time in either of them yet, but I am really liking them so far
I am nearly finishing Breath of The Wild, using CEMU instead of using my Switch (which my gf is using to play BOTW and Pokemon Violet), and I am playing Football Manager 2007 for a bit of nostalgia.
I will then finish Bloodstained: Ritual of the Night which is a great metroidvania, for those who loved Castlevania: Symphony of the Night (because it's the same producer, Koji Igarashi).
Playing a bit of DUSK while my computer encodes some video. I find that even while all threads are busy at x265, I can still squeeze it in.
Otherwise: Overwatch 2 and trying to finish Ragnarok on PS5
A friend and I had an absolute blast playing this last year. Loved the music so much!
Battlebit Remastered. It's now my favorite FPS that isn't TF2 or CSGO
played through the Lies of P demo for the second time, feels like a mix of Bloodborne with a dash of Sekiro in the posture system. super generous demo as well, lots to chew on.
Still working my way through Tears of the Kingdom.
Your Only Move Is Hustle! YOMI Hustle for short. Turn based fighting game. If you've got a decent understanding of fighting games (Smash Bros specifically helps), you can play chess with a whole mess of moves. You can predict exactly what each move will do, as well as predict what happens for the opponents moves as well. No more failing inputs, since ever move is one click away. You get to learn high level concepts like frame advantage, oki, spacing, it's all there with as little barrier of entry possible.
Horizon Forbidden West. Got the expansion and wanted to go through the main story again before jumping into it.
Just achieved 240% in Arkham Knight. Was it worth all the time and hassle just to receive a different colored version of the main batsuit? Kind of.
Now I’ve got the Arkham itch and decided to start replaying City for the first time in years.
Just started Mass Effect Andromeda after finishing 2 runs of the original trilogy (loved them). Sadly my internet is out and EA won’t let me play which is a massive bummer.
Would love to hear how Andromeda actually is. There's been a bit of an anti-hype cycle with everyone criticising it, but I've always wondered if there's a decent game in there (but kne that's not quite as good as the original trilogy).
Love seeing what people are into this week!
I usually play a lot of new indie and old AAA games but rn the biggest time sink is Zelda Tears of the Kingdom. As anti-consumer as Nintendo is, they know how to make quality halo games.
Disco Elysium Final Cut. Went into it almost completely blind and I'm really into it so far.
Diablo IV, Battlebit Remastered and iRacing
I’ve been on a bit of an Alan Wake replay marathon this week in preparation for the sequel. Played Alan Wake and American Nightmare back to back and then threw in Control with the AWE DLC.
Kena Bridge of Spirits. I'm so glad I tried this game. It's quite good. The gameplay is similar to Horizon Zero Dawn and the story line touches the heart. I grabbed it free using PS plus premium.
Such a cool game, I love the environments and dressing up my little Rot buddies.
I have rediscovered Titanfall 2 and am playing using Northstar. very fun
Warframe! Super fun.
Not sure I will play anything in the coming week, as I haven't the previous one.
I have been meaning to get Minecraft setup on my M1 MPB... have also started a few games on PS5 - but I just haven't the time or energy lately - we normally end up just watching a movie before bed which is a bit less engagement.
If I find some time, then probably Horizon Zero Dawn solo, or playing It Takes Two with my partner 😊
