Another SOLID recommendation is Valheim, it has horror elements but isn’t really a horror game, still it is one of the better co-op open world games period.
Abiotic Factor fucking RULES. I’ve put quite a few hours into co-op and I don’t usually seek out co-op in games (I also have a single player world with a fairly extensive farm base). The early game has such an amazing aesthetic and vibe that you truly don’t know what you’re getting into, especially if you went in almost completely blind like I did.
Zomboid would be another obvious pick for me, although I still haven’t played co-op or multiplayer at all. I’m scared about servers not having certain mods I keep in my list I guess.
Currently preparing for a Pathfinder: Wrath of the Righteous playthrough, but I might play something else before then.
I’m definitely not gonna make my own builds, nor am I interested in that, with the hundreds of feats and spells in the game, many of which are just traps and no real way to learn. So I’m going through a bunch of different guides, a lot of which are outdated, and am currently creating a spreadsheet for me to reference, so I don’t have to sift through different videos and websites, every time I level up or do some other stuff (like the Crusade mode). I did the same for my BG3 Honor Mode playthroughs, and it makes everything so much more convenient.
Continuing my ninja adventures by playing Ninja Gaiden 2 (Xbox 360 version) this week. Since the original has such a fierce following and the remaster from this year was somewhat controversial I wanted to play it first to see how NG2B with the “White” mod holds up. It was a little more involved setting up emulation than NGB and Xemu, but it’s running well now albeit with minor graphical glitches. I actually for once kinda wish I had an Xbox Series X though for that native 4k60 HDR.
So far I’m enjoying myself. The highs of the game are really high, even compared to the first game: those frenetic massive hallway fights against hordes of aggressive ninjas are just pure adrenaline rushes and thrilling but stressful in the best way. While the combat in the first game was fast, it was still very measured and deliberate. This time it’s just pure coke-fuelled rabid frenzy.
The improved graphics, animations and gore also make the spectacle of combat heightened and the dismemberment mechanic is really fun and surprisingly strategic to play with.
Some enemies are just shit to fight though, like the dogs and the flying bat demons you have to take out with ranged attacks. Also the bosses have been very hit or miss. Genshin and the spider monster were fun but I was really close to quitting the game over Gigadeath between being one of the worst bosses in gaming and glitching out of the arena 25% of the time.
I’d really like to beat it but we’ll see how far I get.
Into the Unwell playtest. It caught my attention at Summer Game Fest and I was lucky enough to get the invite. I am loving it so far and can’t wait for it to release. Go wishlist it now!
Also playing a bit of Garfield Kart: Furious Racing. Fun little Kart game and the sequel is in the works.
Just got back into Sonic Mania Plus. I’m close to beating it. At one of the final zones with all chaos emeralds as Tails ( best character in the whole franchise, will not take any slander to his good name ). Totally didn’t cheat by opening the settings(dot)ini file to temporarily turn on the debug menu so I could get back the chaos emeralds I missed or didn’t get.
Besides that, haven’t played much besides Mindustry. I was stuck on Peaks on Erekir because I was dumb and couldn’t figure out how to transfer the tungsten. My solution was bad, but it worked. I stopped playing because the other planet is boring compared to the capture the enemy territory levels.
The Alters. It’s great! Nice to see someone tackle ideas around some really deep philosophical questions and make an actually engaging game around them.
Round 10±ish of Balder’s Gate 3. It is one of the only co-op/multiplayer games my husband enjoys, so we are always playing different characters, builds, alignments, story choices, routes. Started using some mods a few plays ago and it has brought some extra flair back into the game. Luckily we don’t play but once every other weekend so I don’t get burned out.
Alternate weekends/days I am still working my way through Clair Obscure Expedition 33. Really enjoying the storyline and music. Gameplay itself isn’t my favorite, but I like trying out new characters, builds, skills, combos as I work my way through exploring round one of this game. I am sure there will be at least one replay as I know there are things I have missed. I am not a true completionist, but I try to appreciate everything that has been built for the players to experience (unless it is truly not worth my time).
