THE FINALS

Rather advanced gameplay, extremely fast-paced and chaotic, quite heavy to run, even with most of it running on servers.

But damn when it was first released a year ago, I instantly got hooked from the vibes and then stayed for the breath of fresh air in the FPS genre. The description above also happens to match really well with my ADHD tendencies.

There’s a reason why it took 47% of my entire play time this year.

BmeBenji,

I played every beta of the Finals that I could get accepted into. It felt like what I wanted a new Battlefield game to be. The destructible floors and bridges made it so much fun to set up traps in ways no other game made it possible.

Weirdly enough I have yet to install it since its full release. Still looks like the same amount of fun!

The fun is still very much here, give it a try!

HeavyRaptor,

Good game. I played during/after the beta, I felt like it needed a bit more variety in guns and maps. Have they been adding stuff since?

You bet they did:

Season 2 CNS/ “The Finals Hacked” theme:

  • New gamemodes:

Powershift (tug-of-war meets convoy on a moving platform) Terminal Attack (Search & Destroy, but it’s hacking terminals instead)

  • Sys$Horizon, new map, “unfinished/leaked” 80s style
  • Hacking-themed gadgets such as the dematerializer and the gateway
  • Weapons ofc (I don’t remember which ones tho)

Season 3: Japan theme:

  • We don’t talk about ranked changes
  • New game-mode: World Tour (similar to unranked tournament, but 8 teams total, win points progression and end-of-season multibuck rewards)
  • Bow for light, dual blades for medium, winch claw for heavy
  • Map: Kyoto 1568

Season 4: Sponsorships

  • Reverted previous season’s ranked changes
  • New careers: sponsorships (choose which in-game sponsor to sign with, get prizes with their themes and compete on world tour to determine which sponsor wins the season) (yes, you can bet people started dissing each other for fun)
  • Dual eagles for heavy, dmr for medium, shotgun for light
  • Fortune Stadium: the best parts of previous maps, mashed into one and themed with the season sponsors’ colors

Season 5: Time for la fiesta, it’s the anniversary

  • New map: Bernal, Mexico
  • New gadgets: Black hole for lights, chain trap for heavy
  • Shak-50 for heavy, some incendiary shotgun for medium
  • Jukebox to relive all the OST from current and previous seasons
  • 2 new sponsors, one returning

That’s only what I remember from the top of my head, they added so much. Not to mention the copious amount of high quality cosmetics and the very forgiving monetization

Helldivers 2. Enjoyed the first one. Although I was skeptical of the third person view they proposed for the second one because the game can be so chaotic, I am enjoying the second one even more.

I used to play Lord of the Rings Online every year in December because they have some neat events. Haven’t done it for a while (lost my install with a hard drive and never reinstalled).

According to Steam, I spent most hours this year playing Book of Hours. (The word “Hours” is in the name of the game, so what choice did I have?) It is an amazing game, and I recommend it to anyone who likes cozy games with lots of lore to explore.

However, there is one game that I must confess I had even more fun with, even though it’s relatively short: The Pristine Cut of Slay the Princess.
I can’t really say much about it other than that it’s a horror visual novel with excellent voice acting and incredibly good writing, as almost any detail of the game’s story would be a spoiler.

(Edit: I know, both of those games released last year, but the question was about which Steam Replay and which games one had fun with this year - not about games that released this year.)

Its not even a contest. The time I spent playing a rogue like poker is higher than most other games combined.

delitomatoes,

If you realise the RNG is really ridiculous at higher difficulties than you can stop

Same.

I’d been starting to get into it when the Android release dropped and then I was cooked. Now between Steam/Android I’ve always got a run going somewhere.

sculd,

I also bought it twice to play it everywhere! The dev deserves the support!

dino,

just a new round buddy, you know you want it.

XIV player here. Started a few years ago but recently picked it back up again. It has certainly taken over my life again

Do you still play?

Bonje,
@Bonje@lemmy.world avatar

I only started the free trial recently, 100 or so hours in. I’m somewhere before the ultima weapon fight. It’s currently on pause because other games took over my life.

DoucheBagMcSwag, (edited )

Ah man that’s exactly where I’m at now (just finished Ultima weapon)

Send me a DM if you pick it up again

Edit: I don’t know if free trial players can have parties or friend lists 🤔

memo,
@memo@feddit.it avatar

free trial players can be friend-requested and party-invited from non-trial players :)

DoucheBagMcSwag,

Really? That’s cool! I’m guessing based on your OP that you’re at endgame level 100 right?

Tombstone is out! Skilling MMO (So think runescape) with a retro-future wild west type theme and pixel gfx that can be played from steam, its own client (available on itch), a browser, or android. Runs on anything, obscenely fast update pace, developers on discord respond to issues dummy fast. I’m currently playing tombstone.

Ziglin,

I used to love that. Now I don’t really know why, maybe because the clock was visible.

I got the 1$ deal again somehow

this is something they do by mechanics, after your gamepass is expired for long enough it starts offering it again, I think it’s like 6 months of something. They want you to get it and forget about it or decide to continue the sub

9point6,

Where have I seen this before, and does it involve Mario Kart?

Kovukono,

Closest thing I could think of with Mario Kart (Raccoon City is at the end).

9point6,

Yes this is exactly what I was thinking of, thanks!
