I've started playing Techtonica, or if you prefer, "underground satisfactory". One interesting mechanic is that research creates a sort of bulky waste product and you have to find a place for it.

Dying light 2. Second time playing through, going for the "good" ending this time.

[–] Saturdaycat@kbin.social 2 points 2 years ago

I don't typically play much video games but this time I decided to start up an old one that I never finished. Tenchu fatal shadows. I'm also trying to play through Evo search for Eden

[–] Fireworks@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

Just finished the main story of Pikmin 4, now working on the post game content. Also played a little bit of Cassette Beasts with the gf and it's an interesting game, pretty fun for the couple hours I played it.

The Mass Effect trilogy and simultaneously making a guide in Notion containing who to bring for unique dialogue, collectibles and instructions if they're not given in game.

[–] RovingFox@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

Returned to Warframe after a long time and got blasted with so much content it is difficult to decide where to start.

It is fun tho, and much more enjoyable because I have so many possibilities of content to enjoy.

Almost done with Pokémon Shining Pearl.. which has not been as bad as I expected. I mainly went for it to play with my 'mons only compatible with BDSP.

Just grinding the Grand Underground for mysterious shards now to catch all the legendaries in Ramanas Park.

Finally got around to playing Vermintide 2. Holy crap, I LOVE this game. Me and my girlfriend have been playing it, trying out all the classes and weapons. It is amazing how much build diversity there is in Vermintide.

Still just playing Team Fortress 2. This is how it usually goes with me; I pick one or two games at a time and play em into the ground. Relearning how to play Scout, which I was never very good at to begin with. Takes a lot of twitchy reflexes and quick reaction time, even moreso than the other classes except perhaps Sniper when flick-shotting.

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

I tried TF2 finally. And I got kicked out of every match for "being a bot". That's not fun at all.

[–] TheSpookiestUser@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

I personally recommend against casual play, even though it's the most popular mode, specifically because it is unpredictably crap like this. Check the community server browser for a server running a vanilla game mode instead; the only concern may be that, depending on which one you pick, the average skill level may be higher, but with something like Skial that won't be an issue.

Battlebit and Trackmania mostly right now

Borderlands 3 on PS plus. Which leaves in a couple of week, so I doubt I’ll have the time to complete it before it does!

I'm shuffling around a couple of games, when I get tired of one I go to the next, and so on until I hopefully beat them all. The current one is Monster Hunter: World, followed by Desperados 3 and TLoZ: BotW.

[–] FreddyNO@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

Trying to get through all the ffxiv expansions!

[–] raptir@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

I gave in and bought Diablo 4. I haven't gotten to the endgame but I'm having a lot of fun playing through the campaign so far.

[–] Deestan@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

Citizen Sleeper. Really enjoyable sci-fi-writing and chill gameplay.

[–] veloxization@yiffit.net 1 points 2 years ago

Kingdom Hearts HD 1.5 Remix, and experiencing extreme levels of nostalgia. My goal is to play through every HD Remix and reexperience the joys of my childhood before finally seeing what Kingdom Hearts 3 is about.

Songs of Syx

Xenonauts 2 Early Access - got to the end of playable content.

What is there already is solid, and I have no doubts the full game will be really good. It feels like somewhere between 30-50% along the plot has been added. The game on display right now is not worth the listed price, so anyone not super duper interested in seeing it take form along the way should hold off until release.

Been dabbling in a lot of games lately. Battlebit has been taking most of my game time for the last few weeks. Is it just me, or have servers been getting laggier?

On the single-player side, I've been slowly making my way through Asterigos, which is a Zelda-like from last year. Enjoyable combat, gorgeous settings, but I can't help being reminded of a post on r/truegaming about how bad writing can ruin a game. All of the dialog feels way too modern for its own good (which isn't helped by the "aspiring voice actor" grade acting), and most of the plot points have been boring or predictable.

I also have a guilty pleasure in f2p trash like Smash Legends and Flash Party. Judge me all you want.

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

Been halfassing Yakuza 3. Really I probably could have plowed through already but ehhh

[–] nogrub@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

just redownloaded fallout 4 with around 250 mods it's just bonkers to me what modders are doing with that game

[–] curryandbeans@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

Remnant 2

I enjoyed the first but didn't complete it. Remnant 2 has much the same AA jank but it's fun as hell.

[–] daemonkat@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

I'm considering modding my Stardew Valley game yet again. Haven't maxed out all the things, tedium is creeping in.

[–] JakenVeina@lemm.ee 1 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

I suckered myself into another Hollow Knight playthrough, so that's been my week. All I've got left are the round-2 dream bosses, and the dreamers themselves.

Not sure what I wanna pick up next. Pikmin 1&2 before 4? I never actually played 2. Persona 5: Strikers? God of War 2018? Final Fantasy 7 Remake? Horizon: Zero Dawn? Finish Hyrule Warrior: Age of Calamity?

Playing Factorio for the second time, now enabling enemies. Really fun game
