I got myself a new computer, and now I can finally play one of my favorite games, which is Warhammer Dawn of war II. Haven’t played it in maybe 5 years. Glad to be back
I remeber buying DoWII + Retribution just so I could play The Last Stand with my online friends. Great fun! I very much recommend it, even more than the actual game :)
Halls of Torment: I’ve been playing it religiously for the last two weeks now. And I only have two Steam achievements left to collect. It’s Vampire Suvivors but Diablo. A simple concept, but it really works. The game has great atmosphere, and it really is a steal for the price. I just wish there were less frame drops, when my screen gets too busy at the end of a level. But it’s really the only complaint I have for the game.
I’ve been cleaning some achievements for Stardew valley and it’s really good. I also restarted Metroid dread for a hard mode playthrough. Oh, if you like Metroid I just found a romhack called Super Metroid Arcade and it’s really fun, you might want to play the original game first though.
I tend to jump between games quite a bit depending on my mood and what else I’m doing at the time so this ended up a bit longer than planned. Sorry for the wall of text, just wanted to vent somewhere.
Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker
I’m still pretty early into the game (chapter/world 2, I think?) so all the puzzles are rather easy but that doesn’t matter - I’m having fun. It looks lovely too.
Ico
I’m a bit torn on this one. I really like the idea, (so far limited) story and the atmosphere of this game. On the other hand, I’m not a huge fan of the camera (I get what they were going for but it can be quite bad at times) or combat. Oh boy, the combat…
I can live with it being janky and not particularly involved but why in the name of our lord satan did they have to put it on display so often? There are SO MANY combat encounters and all of them feel like a chore. Combat made me go from “oh yeah, let’s play this legendary title” to asking myself whether I want to go through it that day, each time I’m thinking about booting it. Hell, there were a couple of times where I entered a new room, saw the game spawning another batch of enemies and thinking “you know what? I’d rather play something else right now”.
I’m still going to finish the game as I do enjoy it for the most part but it’ll definitely be a rougher experience than expected.
NFS Most Wanted (classic)
It’s a classic so no much to write here. Still plays well and it’s perfect to pop in for a race or two in between doing other things. I do miss some of the events and atmosphere from Underground games but MW is good enough for it to not be a problem.
Katawa Shoujo
I’ve been in a mood for VNs recently and decided to start with this little gem. I played it once before, and wanted to see how well it holds up (it’s still pretty fun so far). I’m probably going to try a few different routes this time just to see how they go - not going for a full completion though.
Puzzle Quest
It’s a RPG/match 3 title for PSP. I’m not a puzzle game aficionado but I do like to play them from time to time and this one is really fun (I think I played more of it than all the already mentioned games combined so far). I do have 2 problems with it - they aren’t particularly serious but still something I’d like to mention:
I really don’t like the music - it’s not bad, I just can’t stand it for whatever reason. It’s the same issue I have with Skyrim funnily enough.
RNG can be rough - the amount of times I lost a battle on turn 1 is not even funny. RNG gonna RNG so whatever, it’s even less of an issue since defeat doesn’t have any real consequences as far as I can tell (non important to matter anyway). I really like this one.
RimWorld
It’s something I drift to whenever I don’t have anything else to play. It’s good, though how much fun I have depends on where my head is at the time - right now I think I’m getting close to being done for a bit.
Tetris DX
This might be my most played game on my Steam Deck. It’s a Gameboy Color version of Tetris, what else is there to say? It’s really addictive.
Wizorb
A fun and colorful block breaker game. I played a little bit of it some years ago but stopped thinking “I’ll get back to it when I’m done with other stuff”. This time installed it to steal some ideas get some inspiration since I’m working on a similar project right now. I like it (for the most part) - there are some technical issues (game doesn’t scale properly for ultrawide screens) and some that come from being used to my own game but it’s good. I’ll definitely play more of it for fun rather than just research.
Special mentions:
Cataclysm: Dark Days Ahead - saying I played it would be a bit much. I tried it for a bit and can see it being fun once you’re familiar with how to play but I’m just not in a head space where I can be bothered to get used to the controls at the moment. I’ll try again some day.
The Sims - I mostly just wanted to see how it fares on linux. No issues so far.
Bang Dream / Girls’ Frontline - my two daily drivers. Both are gachas, both are F2P friendly, both are fun.
Currently playing Lords of the Fallen and enjoying it so far. I would probably enjoy it more if I didn’t suck, but with enough full sends I have gotten past every boss I’ve made it to.
Hmm, me and my buddies have been playing Warhammer 40k Darktide. I only really play it because they like it. I am actually starting a new playthrough of outward and wanna use less mods this time. Maybe even get further in the story and not take the hardest route from the start! 😑
