I myself am 100ish hours into AC Odyssey on the Steam Deck, looking forward to getting stabby on some malakas!

Where are my ToTK folks ?
70% completion. Going for Ganondorf fight today.
They’re all busy in Hyrule. Speaking of which…
Making my way through Witcher 3 but I keep getting distracted by gwent.
No no no, that’s no distraction, that’s the main part of the game :D
Agreed, they put a game around the card game, that kept getting in the way!
I’ve been playing Grim dawn for a while. Just finished getting to lvl 96 on a spellbinder. As much as I’d like to try Diablo 4, $70 is just too steep at the moment. Maybe when it goes on sale
GD fills that Diablo need pretty darn well. I enjoy it more than Diablo 1-3, at any rate.
And if the need comes, I’m pretty sure Grim Dawn has a mod that’s just Diablo 2 anyways.
Fallout 1 with a 1-Intelligence character. I’m, somehow, succeeding.
Have you tried FO2? I liked it better than the first.
I may have played it a time or two.
I enjoy the tone and tightness of the first game’s story much more. I enjoy the second game’s expanded mechanics and item variety. In terms of tone, really Fallout 2 really sets the course for the rest of the franchise. Fallout 1 ends up being this very strange outlier that never really got revisited by official games (there are some stand alone mods that capture it a lot more).
That is so much fun. Fallout 1 was one of those games that just blew my mind when it came out, and it’s still one of my favourites.
Tears Of the Kingdom! Fully went in expecting to be disappointed, but it just continues to blow me away the deeper I get into it. Truly incredible what they were able to pull off with such old hardware.
My partner has been playing it and I’m shocked at what’s in that game. Really impressed as an onlooker
It’s honestly outstanding. When I realized how much content was in this game compared to BOTW my jaw hit the floor! I’ve been a life long Zelda fan so it makes me so happy to see the franchise getting renewed love and excitement around it.
I picked up Hi-Fi Rush on sale about a week ago, blew through it once, and am now working on a second play through/new game plus. Super fun game. After putting it down after playing for a while I still feel like I’m doing things to a beat for a bit.
I like hifi rush alot, its a real sleeper and i like the vibe. If you are looking for more I really recommend bullets per minute. It’s a roguelike rhythm shooter with a really baller soundtrack. It’s less forgiving than hifi rush but when you get in the zone it can be really rewarding.
I love rhythm games but not normally a fan of action arcade. Hi Fi rush is something special though and I think everyone should give it a chance.
Trying to finish my first full Darkest Dungeon run since starting in 2016. I never started the final DD level but completed everything else, but I feel I can’t start Darkest Dungeon II before completing the campaign in the first game.
That and probably some more Cities: Skylines 🙂
I really really wanted to like Darkest Dungeon, but either I really suck at it or there’s just too much grinding for me. I’ve gone through about 30 in-game weeks and haven’t really gotten anywhere.
It is a big grind, yes. If that’s not your cup of tea I don’t think you’ll ever grow fond of it. There’s also alot of randomness that at times feels very unfair. But for some reason, it appeals to me 🙂.
Part two is not as long, or so I read, but you still have to grind to unlock characters and skills, apparently.
Elden Ring, just got the game and I’m excited to keep exploring this open world dark souls
No Man’s Sky has kind of been my go-to since it was released. Of course I’ll sit down and get into lots of other games, but if I’m playing nothing in particular - NMS.
Just a heads-up about the new expedition… it’s bugged out at one of the steps in the last phase right now, and you can’t progress to complete the expedition yet. Looks to be a community-related task, but it’s not displaying progress properly.
I think I heard something about that, yeah. Thanks for the heads up!
Tears of the Kingdom, although I might take a break for No Man’s Sky
Eyyy same for NMS. I generally just like to run around and screen shot stuff
Is there new content for NMS or you are just enjoying it at the moment?
there’s a big content drop coming soon
I’m 20 hours into Horizon Zero Dawn! Been playing it on my steamdeck and having a blast.
I love this game. So happy it made it to PC. I’m only about 10 hours in. The intro cutscene when Aloy jumps as a kid and lands as a young adult was such an epic moment. Enjoy your time playing that one. It’s so beautiful
I’m enjoying how story-rich it is! Feels very cinematic.
The remake of System Shock and Path of Exile, both on the Steam Deck. I’m enjoying gaming again with this beast :)
Oooh. How is the System Shock remake? Huge fan of the original, but haven’t had the time to look into the remake too much. Was it “modernized” or were all the systems kept faithful to the original?
The controls has been modernized, it feels like a game that launched this year, but everything else is completely faithful to the original. I’ve only tried the original briefly, but I’ve red from people who played both that you could basically follow a guide from 1994 and still be able to get through the remake.
Aside from that, they added a scrap system which you can collect junk, destroy it, and recycle it for coins which can be spent on weapon upgrades. I think that’s the only major addition in the gameplay itself, and it’s something that was already in a similar way for System Shock 2 with the nanites.
I’m enjoying Far Cry 6 atm - I know people have (valid) qualms with the Unsioft copy/paste fetch quest style, but sometimes it’s nice just to switch off and shoot bad guys. And I think the main storyline and voice acting is pretty good tbh.
I recently finished it and liked it too. The setting was more of my taste than Far Cry 5. I just love the tropical Far Cry games.
I’m totally the opposite. I never much cared for tropical environments. I do like the Far Cry games, though. The gunplay feels good and the gameplay loop is enjoyable for a few dozen hours every couple of years. I think my biggest dislike of the series in general is the mystical hallucination bits that seem to always be present. Obviously the games aren’t realistic in general, but those moments always take me out of the game. I haven’t played 6 yet, so maybe they aren’t present.
There are some mystical elements in 6.
Even if many of Ubisoft’s quests are copy-paste, once in a while I come across one that has some neat thoughts in it, and it’s a shame a lot of people don’t find them. Games like TOTK have a much stronger balance, but that’s not easy.
Picked up Cult of the Lamb yesterday on sale as I’ve heard nothing but good things and I’m really enjoying it so far. Told myself I’d be a kind and caring cult leader…that didn’t last long!
CotL is such a cute and disturbing game. Quite addicting as well.
I’m still missing two of the “No Damage Taken” Achievements. But neither my reaction time or patience is what it used to be. XD
Yeah I didn’t know a lot about it before I started playing, was expecting something similar to Hades. It’s definitely darker than I expected but really enjoying it so far
You can do it, Leader. We have faith in you.
Diablo 4! I find it oddly relaxing in my current state of mind. At first I was adamant about listening to the soundtrack and all the voice acting but I’ve found I enjoy it way more by just reading the story and listening to my own music.
I’ve got a necromancer and a sorcerer. Necromancer is incredibly easier, to the point I haven’t touched the sorcerer since I made it. I will probably make another character soon, not sure what.
had a friend recommend me to get this so we could play over summer, have you tried the multiplayer?
Well, it’s always multiplayer, meaning you will see people out in the world constantly. A lot of content (like dungeons) is instanced to your party, though, so you won’t see randoms where it really matters. Personally, I have only played solo so far except for the aforementioned randoms :). I’m sure it would be very fun with others, though!
ohh okay, my friend told me it wasn’t MMO but I understand what he meant with the party instancing thing you mentioned. Looking forward to it!
How is it? I was never a huge Diablo fan, but played 3 through because I got it for free with World of Warcraft. It was okay, but I thought the story was kind of meh and it didn’t have the replayability for me as something like Dark Souls.
Personally, I like it way more than 3. I could never get into the older games (including 3). Others say it’s a “reskin of 3” which I think is kind of ridiculous.
The story so far is actually pretty intriguing. I mean, it’s not mind-blowing, I’m pretty sure of what will happen, but it’s still good for a game in this genre.
Replayability is really endless, but, I don’t know if I’d say it has more replayability than the older games, it just may be more replayable for you if you like it more.
