A weird one if your SO is a fan of anime. Persona 5.
My SO loved playing with me since they had all the guides and stuff ready to min max the game while I did the heavy lifting. It’s a different type of 2 player game, like a Driver and Navigator while driving.
I finished Crisis Core -Final Fantasy VII- Reunion and even 100% it. I still think the game is mostly a waste of time, that adds very little to the overall FF7 story. The characters (that aren’t from FF7) are super boring, and the main antagonist is probably one of the lamest in any game. If I wasn’t sick that one weekend, I’d probably not have bothered to go through those side quests, but at that point it was an alright, mindless grind. Asking 50€ for this seems completely insane to me.
Also, finally unlocked all characters in Risk of Rain Returns. Starting with so few items is always a pain in games like this, but once things get going and there’s more variety, it just gets much more fun.
So I’m between games once again, and don’t have anything specific lined up right now. I was holding out for Rogue Trader, but Owlcat being themselves, it seems like it’d be best to wait a few months for patches.
I did a bunch of runs of Peglin on my Deck, and finally managed to clear a Cruciball 10 run (small difficulty increases, that you can unlock after you finish the game, like the Heat system in Hades, just that you can’t choose the modifiers).
Then I decided to give the first Octopath Traveller another shot, also on the Deck. I loaded up my four year old save, where I made it like a third through the game. Of course, I have no idea what’s going on, and I was directly before a boss fight, but managed. I’ll try to go through a few chapters and then decide if I want to keep playing.
Officially it has no coop mode but because the game just accepts input from all input devices, one person can control the right hand and the other the left hand. No time limit, infinite retries. It’s a short game but you that’s really not a problem with a price tag of free.
I found this really difficult to read/understand this in places with the neutral pronouns. Anyway a cool little coop puzzle game is Keep Talking and Nobody Explodes. It’s an asymmetrical puzzle game where one of you is trying to defuse a bomb (played on a computer) while the other is trying to give directions without seeing the bomb. It might fit your asymmetrical needs you described.
As a non-native speaker I still struggle with it. Just sounds like plural all the time. I’d expect something like “they does” for an individual and “they do” for a group of people but “they do” for just an individual frequently fucks up my comprehension.
The post we’re looking at includes “my partner” then almost immediately after “they”, with consistent conjugations of the verb (which doesn’t change). It can look a little odd and take some getting used to, but it isn’t far removed from other seemingly irregular uses, such as yous/youse/y’all for addressing a group of people (direct form of ‘they’), instead of using the singular ‘you’.
I would choose a character and concentrate on learning him. There are builds online you can use to not get over whelmed at first by the shop.
I play an other MOBA but there is probably a lane that has two players for most of the match, you should concentrate on playing one of those two types of characters so you and your son can maximise play time together, most likely the tank would be the better choice (more forgiving, easier to learn, support character so your son gets to be the hero).
Play ARAM and with time you’ll learn the characters. The matches are shorter and you can’t choose the champs, so you’re forced to learn. In ARAM you can only play with champs that you bought and have, or that are in rotation (set of characters that are free to play, changes every week). Because of rotation, you’re more than likely to see the same champs over and over so it makes learning easier. With time you’ll get the hang of it. Have item builds open on second monitor so you can focus on what abilities do instead of figuring out what items to buy.
I used to play League a lot and yea there’s a fire hose of info you gotta learn at the beginning, especially as they continue to add new champs.
I’d say:
watch some kind of 'getting started video on YouTube, and search for the categories that different champs are in (e.g. support, ad carry, ap, bruiser, jungle, etc). Some of the categories overlap, because some are how the champ plays and some are their job in normal games. Google/YouTube explanations about this too.
If you can get those things mapped out in your head, it’ll give you and idea for what kind of champ each is going to play as and against (i.e. you’ll know if the person you run into is gonna be tanky and hard to kill, a glass cannon, etc).
Probably just stick to playing bruisers and other tanky champs for now so you don’t die right away, and slowly learn as you go.
Diablo 3: Season 29 - Completed the Guardian chapter! Now I have only one more objective/conquest to finish out the season. I was going to try to go for the one of completing the campaign under 1 hour, but I quickly realized I would not be good at that by any means. So I'm working on the one for going through a level 55 greater rift with 6 different set bonuses. Sounds easy enough, but since I usually only use one character per season, I'm having to level up another for their set run.
Diablo 4: Season 2 - Still working on reaching level 90.
Gray Dawn - I've played my fair share of bizarre games, but I'm not sure if I've ever said "wtf" so many times while playing a game. So much so that I just kind of gave up on trying to figure things out about halfway through and was there for the ride. Before I actually started it, I read it described as a "priest simulator", and that it did seem to be at times. I'm not really into structured religion, so there were probably a lot of symbolism that went over my head and/or didn't make sense. (I also got a strange feeling towards the end that I wasn't actually the target audience? Like this was a horror game, but not for people like me.)
Apparently I got the "good" ending, which didn't really seem that good at all, so I went and got the bad ending... which was just as much 'meh' as the other ending was. Overall, the pacing was a little slow and at times it seemed to drag on at times. Some of the voice acting also left something to be desired, but it wasn't horrible, and the main redeeming factor is that the imagery was really cool.
::: spoiler Rant
Even though some of the imagery isn't explained? Like there is what looks like a bloody wax child with one eye in a glass case in this dude's library, and it's just... never talked about? I mean there's a lot of things in this game where it's just, oh something spooky! Satan's out to get you! Blood and guts, bleh! But like I was sitting there wondering, is this dude just not going to mention it? Has it always been there? If it has, why? If it hasn't, why isn't he saying anything about it!
Also there's a lot of Latin in this game that whenever I tried to look it up it just ended up being lyrics to old metal songs, which in itself is kind of hilarious to me, given the subject and themes of the game.

I also did a quick run through the original Dead Space (2008) since I'll be jumping into the remake soon. I've only heard good things, but I'm eager to see for myself how the new one compares, since it's one of my favorite franchises. I'm stoked that they brought back Isaac's voice actor from 2 and 3. I can't imagine anyone else but Gunner Wright as Isaac Clarke.
Apparently this is an old series with a few other titles? I had never heard of it before.
Key features: cute tone, anime styled, Japanese/Korean voiceover, 3rd person travel, JRPG turn based fighting, lots of things to grind and craft for making items and upgrading things, visual novel style dialogue, low stress mood while playing
There's a lot of good about it. Particularly I think the lead Japanese voice actress is good and the overall presentation of how screens transition, the flow of gameplay from section to section (exploration, story, combat, crafting, minigames) are executed well.
I am only about two hours in but I find myself feeling satisfied with just that much play. It's less of an indictment on the game itself and more me feeling that the game is not personally for me. While the polish is nice and the relaxed feeling to WSR is very pleasant, I prefer stories with more tension and conflict.
Age of Wonders 4
Very nice polish, horrible tutorial, hated it immediately for reasons I am not even sure about. I have played too many 4x games, I guess. It struck me as a game that wasn't bringing something new to the genre while also not excelling in a specific area either.
If you liked this game, try to sell me on it. I still have it installed and am open to changing my opinion on it.
I just finished replaying DMC V. After replaying DMC 1 - 4 + DmC in the past 6 months, made me realize that I don’t like playing as Nemo. He feels underpowered at times, and his skillset are kinda boring compared to Dante.
In DMC V, I enjoyed my time playing as Dante and V.
V is a change of pace, being slower and ranged, while Dante has really satisfying moves and weapons. I like Nemo’s robotic arm, but the idea that it’s a consumable and sometimes you might ended up picking up an arm that you are not familiar with, does disrupt the flow. Even his basic swordplay feels kinda lacking.
I played DMC3 years ago and never really understood the genre. It was fun, but every other game like it felt exactly the same to me. Then Hi-Fi Rush came out this year, and it clicked, so before this year's releases started really kicking off in summer, I played through DMC1-3 and half of 4. I'll get back to it soon enough, but I really liked what I played of 4; it was the best one so far, honestly. Were your problems with Nero limited to how he plays in 5, or did that criticism also apply to 4?
I play a lot of games with my 10yr old daughter. Here are some of what we liked:
-Any lego game(there are sooo many and they often go on sale)
-trine series, much more puzzley
-sackboy a big adventure
-brothers a tale of two sons
-it takes two
-portal 2
-degrees of separation
-putty pals
-ibb and obb
-toodee and topdee
-bleep bloop
-battle block theater
-chariot
-pikunuku
We also loved going through the monkey island games. They are not mumtiplayer but they are slow point and click games that we bounced ideas off one another.
I'm replaying of all things "Spyro" Reignited on Switch - a game that is so much more difficult than people ever admit. I've only made it through about half the first game and 60 percent or of the second game - I always have to quit them both because the mid-game boss battles are impossible and the stress makes me physically sick very quickly.
I have no idea what the rest of those first two games actually look like, I could never get that far. I'm battling through the third game (very very difficult game) and hoping I can make it to the end this time (but doubt it). It's a fun game, but it's not for casual gamers at all.
