I’ve been trapped in a Fantasy Life i: The Girl Who Steals Time addiction ever since that came out. I’m a huge fan of the original 3DS game, but it was kinda forgotten by gaming history. And now we have a much bigger and more polished game for more platforms! For those who haven’t heard of it: it’s a bastard child of singleplayer Final Fantasy XIV and Animal Crossing. Very cute and cozy, mercilessly addicting, simulates the experience of having ADHD incredibly well.
This is how it typically goes: you want new furniture for your house. You’re out of a specific kind of wood that’s needed, so you go to a place that has it. On the way there you see an NPC with a quest - some poor farmer is besieged by overgrown carrots, and wants you to kill 10 of them. Might as well, it’s only a slight detour. You kill the carrots, and then help yourself to some more crops on the farm, and get a rare carrot that you need to cook a dish to advance your Chef Life! Better get to that immediately, before you forget. You go back to town and cook the dish. You still don’t have that new furniture you set out to get.
About the only thing I don’t like is that the story quests are less weird than the original game, everything else is a straight upgrade.
Deliver At All Costs - fun game, but I swear the plot is just an excuse to feature those wonderful destruction mechanics.
Robocop - Actually not bad! I haven"t seen or played anything Robocop related in 30ish years, but I’ll be damned if this game doesn’t make you feel exactly like him ( for better or worse )
Pacific Drive - finally managed to finish this one after starting and abandoning it twice because it’s just terrifying to me. ( I just had to start it again after reading Roadside Picnic and thinking “hey, this reads familiar” ). It’s still terrifying, but absolutely great game.
Now I’m playing Kingdoms&Castles and Starbound again to calm the fuck down.
RoboCop: Rogue City took me by surprise. I was expecting a linear shooting gallery type thing but the game gives you some surprising levels of freedom to explore around. Much more immersive than I thought it would be.
Pacific Drive is so fantastic. I love the new endless mode they added. One of the best soundtracks in gaming.
Deliver at all costs is pretty hilarious all round, really. I’m enjoying it on the Deck.
Robocop was a cool game, as a fan of the first film (AND ONLY THE FIRST FILM). I played that earlier in the year. I need to try it again in VR now I’ve upgraded my hardware. It choked hard on my old graphics card.
I just started Shin Megami Tensei Digital Devil Saga. It’s a weird one and I love it! The atmosphere is incredible and the systems are really fun right out of the gate.
I also have a playthrough of Trails in the Sky SC going on and it’s so charming. Great turn based combat too.
Aaaand I also tried out Slay the Spire for the first time to kill some time here and there and I have to say this thing should be regulated. So adictive!
I’m playing through Black Mesa lately!
Picked it up on the recent discount and now I’m going through it, gonna do all of HL2 next, time to check out the 20th anniversary update.
Also Lumines Remastered just went on sale so you bet I’m gonna be playing the hell out of that
Just getting into FF7 Rebirth. Was a huge fan of the original, but these remakes are just so silly it’s kind of hard. And I really don’t like the active combat system in modern FF games, but I’ll get through it.
Always playing a little Rust here and there, can’t help myself.
Was about to resub to RuneScape after a yearlong break but then I saw Mod Jack got canned. Jagex getting darker every year…
It certainly looks like it would fill the Skyrim void my brain sometimes has! But also new story that I might finish because I hated skyrims one mostly.
I’m only in the second zone of the game but there’s a lot to see and do just in the starter dungeon and the game’s first zone. I’m really enjoying it so far.
