Way too much Pokemon Rejuvenation. Basically the overwhelming majority of what I’ve been playing that isn’t PVZ Reflourished and fire emblem heroes on my phone on the bus too and from college.
I’ve been digging fucking deep with disco elysium this long weekend, started fresh after having dipped my toes in a tiny bit some years ago. 20 hours logged this weekend with more to come today.
The writing, worldbuilding, and atmosphere are actually just obnoxiously good.
It is the best written video game ever and it’s not particularly close either. It’s one of the best written pieces of media I’ve ever had the pleasure of consuming.
I’m playing Coridden with my wife and a friend and it is really fun. It is more like what I wanted isometric rpgs to be: open world rpg, dynamic combat with some fun platforming and player to player interactions (you can turn into beasts and ride on top of a friend in combat, as well as the whole mixing of skills for neat combos and strategies, and resurrecting/healing/shielding eachother).
I wasn’t even aware Create was getting an Airship update. The one i built is from Eureka, which is an addon for Valkyrien Skies. I have a addon that adds Create support to Valkyrien Skies though
Create: Aeronautics was its name. It looks like it’s stuck in some sort of development hell and big hype around it. Recent Dev “update”: www.youtube.com/watch?v=xGQXUiNuUws
Damn, i’ll have to watch this because having a dedicated Create mod for Airships would be awesome. Eureka is a bit too simple for my taste, but it’s also the only option i have
Thank you! Generally when i just take screenshots when i see something that looks cool or has a story behind it. Games with a dedicated photo mode or a UI hider make it a whole lot easier though
I finished DOOM (2016) and DOOM Eternal. Eternal is definitely the better of the two for me, maybe even my favorite in the whole series.
Eternal’s campaign was pretty easy this time, since I actually used all of the tools the game gives you. Some of the Master Levels were harder though, especially Taras Nabad. Two fights in that level took me an hour each on Ultra-Violence.
That’s my second time hearing about this after seeing a post of someone asking for open source minecraft equivalents lol. I’ve already downloaded a Flatpak, but do you mind if i ask what the hype about this is? I’m genuinely curious
The main advantage over Minecraft is unrestricted modability. Luanti is just the voxel engine, you can run hundreds of different “games” on top of. Aside from the obvious mining and crafting types of games (including VoxeLibre which is a direct clone of Minecraft) there are also games with completely different gameplay - platformers, arcade etc.
The mods and games are easily downloaded from within the game.
Also - free, open source, community run. Not owned by Microsoft. So that’s nice.
Playing Ghosts of Tsushima on my Steam Deck. Having a blast. Don’t normally care for sword combat but I’m actually learning to parry and the different stances make for some aesthetic fights.
I started South of Midnight. I'm liking it so far, especially the animation style and the jazzy soundtrack. It has some major Alice in Wonderland vibes. Although it is a little jarring playing a straight forward narrative after all the open world games I've been going through the last couple months.
I’ve been playing Under Night In-Birth II. I had bought it last year but never actually played it. After this first week of matches I’d say it’s my favorite in this latest “generation” of figthing games.
I randomly bought Azure Striker Gunvolt on Switch, since I rememberd hearing good things about it when it came out, but it’s not much fun to play. It feels really unpolished, the levels and bosses are a bit on the annoying side and the combat gimmick, where you need to tag enemies with projectiles to be able to damage them, feels really bad to use as it’s slow and unsatisfying.
Everyone playing Blue Prince reminded me of La-Mulana, which I’ve been playing in the last few days. I’m a bit conflicted on it, since I like most of what the game does except for the combat which I find rather bad and unfairly punishing when considering how imprecise it is. I am enjoying the game, although I’m a bit worried it might be too long.
The puzzle part feels like Outer Wilds, but without the log to help you and it’s also a bit less linear, which I’m personally enjoying but I can see why it could be boring.
The platforming/navigation is a bit janky but usable after a while.
The combat is IMO absolute garbage (the bosses in particular are pretty bad fights that waste your time and the hitboxes are terrible) and wouldn’t be surprised if this is what makes most people quit.
For now at least, the exploration and puzzles overshadow the negatives, but they are pretty big negatives that are hard to ignore.
I wanted to love La-Mulana a lot. And I do love it for building some of the foundation that some huge greats like Fez and Tunic and Outer Wilds stand upon. But holy shit, the game doesn’t want you to love it. The combat and movement are so punishing in an entirely unfun way. I stopped playing after getting what I understand to be like 70-80% of the way through the content the game has to offer and by the last ~20% of that I was dreading playing.
It is a game I have to thank for making way for the existence of some of my favourite games, but I hate it nonetheless.
