Patient Gamers

I played through Gris and had an absolute blast. I finished it in <3 hours, but spent another 3 or so tracking down collectibles (momentos) because the world is so pretty.

I also played Monument Valley 1&2, each in one sitting. The puzzles weren't very hard, but I'm a sucker for non-Euclidean worlds (also loved The Bridge and Manifold Garden).

Other than that, I've been playing a bit of Fire Emblem: Engage. I probably won't finish that before Christmas though, it's a long game.

I'm probably going to pick up Bomb Rush Cyberfunk this Steam sale, which recently turned 1. I have kids, and they're each getting a Switch game for Christmas, so I'll have a few more to play soon.

I've been having a lot of fun with Green Hell lately

Took me a while, but I finally took the time to play Watch Dogs and Watch Dogs 2, and recently started Watch Dogs: Legion.

Bulletstorm full clip edition.

Really fun shooter with an interesting scoring mechanic.

Thief, anno 1404

MGS Ghost Babel! Obviously a little primitive because it's a GBC game but the plot's pretty exciting and holds up even today

NFS Unbound and BF2042 cause it‘s five bucks each rn.

I think BF is fine for 5 bucks if you don‘t think about how much worse it is compared to BF3 or 4, it‘s still silly fun for cheap on its own.

NFS I struggle to recommend even for this price, unless you‘re already done with all the Forzas, Crews, Grids, and Dirts of this world. The driving just feels incredibly wrong, lots of „what the fuck just happened?“ And it runs poorly even though it looks mediocre.

Chained Together was fun so far with a friend, although it‘s clearly not very polished.

I also got Deep Rock Galactic, but I haven‘t spent much time in it yet. This one in contrast looks very polished lol

Lastly, Chicory has been a lot of fun and a unique experience. A cute and wholesome game I can recommend.

After I became „worthy“ this week in Distance, I also want to recommend it again. It‘s a game I discovered through people talking about it on here and it was a great experience.

I started and finished The Case of the Golden Idol. Good stuff. Playing the sequel now.

Dont know yet, but a very stressful period is done at the end of this week and i have some vacation after so from next week i will find an old gem and play the heck out of it

Heat Signature is really fun haha

I've finally been playing through Mad Professor Mariarti on the Amiga. I saw it played many times as a child but now I'm finally playing it myself - and beating it!

Finally got some time alone to play some more octopath traveller 2 and make some progress in a couple of storylines

Unnamed Space Idle. Not very patient though, unless you count the gameplay itself haha.

Slay the Spire co-op mod and AC6 are also recent plays for me but not strictly this week. I'm not sure that I'm gonna stick with AC6 though.

Watch Dogs 2, didn't really like it, but it's probably fun on a steam deck on a flight I'd bet
