I'm playing Vampyr again! I had already played it up to a certain point but never finished it. Recently I finished Tchia and felt like coming back to Vampyr, because I really like most of it (some details irritate me, like most of the regular patients in the hospital and all of the freshly spilled enemy-blood not showing up in your "blood detection" vision).

Oh and in addition, I started dabbling in this super eerie and janky MMO called Animyst.

Just started it myself. For the first time, so I haven't read anything after your first sentence πŸ˜„ Never heard of the game before, but A Plague Tale was so impressive I kept tabs on the developer team and Vampyr got discounted shortly after. So far so good, after 40 minutes of play.

I've been playing CDDA for a few days now, and you know what? This game is amazing in all aspects (except for UI and graphics). It's hard enough, sometimes scary, and very interesting in general. Highly recommended! (And it's free)

[–] keardap@lemmy.selfhost.quest 2 points 2 years ago

Guild Wars 2, evidently others do like it as the maps are usually not empty.

I would like to play a more engaging game, but I'm working too much and my brain need some chill time.

[–] Adonnus@beehaw.org 2 points 2 years ago

Witcher 2 babyyyy. First time playthrough and it's just... Like I'm a kid again and I can't stop thinking about playing it again when I'm at work.

[–] chicory@midwest.social 2 points 2 years ago

I've been playing Prey. It runs great on Steam Deck and is a lot of fun overall. That and No Man's Sky are my games of the summer so far

Since I'm limited to one hand (I fractured my elbow), I've been going back to my strategy game catalogue. At first I started with Endless Legend, which I've got over 100 hours in, but I wasn't vibing with it. The backlog game I had on the side, Age of Wonders Planetfall, became my main game. I'm still trying to get into it, but it just feels too cluttered for it's own good. I don't think I want to give up on it but alongside that I began playing Endless Space 2 which is really cool! Even with experience in the Endless series it still feels a bit complicated, it's not as insane as Stellaris, but I have a good feeling about it now.

Have you tried Endless Space 2 multiplayer? If so how is the experience? My gaming group loved the first one but we eventually gave up with it as we could never make it through an entire playthrough without the game crashing/desyncing and corrupting the save file.

[–] Gabbro@kbin.social 1 points 2 years ago

No, I haven't. It's been a long time since I played multiplayer in any game at all! Which wasn't local co-op with my sister at least...If Playnite is to be believed that would be Titanfall 2, 2 years ago.

Nothing really, unfortunately. Life has been busy lately and, with kids, gaming is almost nonexistent.

This weekend my wife and kids will be out of town for five days and I’m honestly contemplating buying either Tears of the Kingdom or Diablo IV and just going to town on one of those all weekend…

I am playing Oxygen Not Included again. I have played and died of heat death many times before, but someone tipped me off to guidesnotincluded.com, so I am working my way through that and trying to learn how to do things properly this time.

Mainly Trackmania and Rocket League as of recent, but also diving deep into Snowrunner again as of this week, planning to actually get far into a save this time.

Is it already that time of the week? Well, I'm still playing BOTW, Dead Cells on my Switch, Dawn of War Unification mod on the PC, and some Omega Strikers on the side, slowly climbing the ranked ladder. I'm thinking I can make Gold rank before the end of the season.
Also taking a moment to get back into shmups, I popped onto Mushihimesama and Dodonpachi yesterday and I wiped before even the third bosses, I'm super rusty.

[–] Teali0@kbin.social 1 points 2 years ago

I started playing Shovel Knight a couple days ago and I have really enjoyed my time with it so far! I'm not much of a 2D side-scroller/platformer kind of gamer, but this has been a lot of fun. I'm really looking forward to the other playable characters.

Other than that, I still hop onto Death Stranding occasionally. Being in the end game makes it really easy to hop in and make a few deliveries and then hop out.

Hunt showdown w my mates, rimworld for myself. Looking for a tactical mp fps to tide me over for Fallujah but Sandstorm didn't really click for me. Might wait for Squad to hit a deep sale.

[–] CatLeafing420@lemm.ee 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

A land of culture I see. I fucking love and hate hunt so much.

[–] Moonguide@lemmy.ml 1 points 2 years ago

Fr. I've been having a hard go of it lately. I'm not good at the game by any means, just above average, but I'm getting dumped into 6 star lobbies, just getting absolutely dumpstered. Ever since the MMR changes I've gone down 20k. My loadouts aren't even expensive, funnily enough.

[–] Niorotic@kbin.social 1 points 2 years ago

I'm currently playing Soul nomad and the world eaters.

It's pretty good so far, although i might have overleveled a bit, but i feel like that's normal with games from NIS.

[–] Turmbaumeister@discuss.tchncs.de 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Cyberpunk - I like it but it's still buggy to the point of having to reload at times. The main story is absurdly predictable and short, barely got into it and I'm at the point of no return. Maybe the conclusion will save it. Replayability is low due to all the unskippable pseudo cutscenes. Combat is meh. So far a 7/10 game

F1 23 - finally a good F1 game

[–] iByteABit@kbin.social 1 points 2 years ago

Personally I think Cyberpunk was a flawed masterpiece, the whole world, characters, art and story (both main and sidequests) create something so beautiful and unique to me, and there were quite a few heart wrenching moments.

I also think it's great from a gameplay perspective, I'm a huge RPG fan and this was insanely fun to me, I'm definitely going to do at least one more playthrough once the expansion is out and I have time

[–] IRQBreaker@lemmy.kozow.com 1 points 2 years ago

DayZ, same as I've been playing for the last two and a half year or so. In fact, I'm such a big fan I've even set up two DayZ community servers.

[–] Cypher@feddit.de 1 points 2 years ago

I'm playing PokΓ©mon Yellow on my SteamDeck (via RetroArch). The childhood nostalgia I'm experiencing is heart-warming. :)
