Recently I’ve been playing a massive minecraft map called Drehmal, which got a big update a few weeks ago. It’s kinda like if someone made an elder scrolls game in minecraft, with lots of exploring, loot and lore to find. Unfortunately I think something about the map, either the mods needed to play it or the size, doesn’t agree with my computer and I will get a crash after a few hours of play. So maybe I should find something else.
Still playing Slay The Spire and Hexcells as my “podcast games”.
Started Halls of Torment. Really cool aesthetically and some interesting boss designs. Hope it distinguishes itself more from Vampire Survivors though. Especially in having more incentives to keep playing than “numbers go up”. There are some minor story things and unique aspects of some maps that I think could really set this game apart.
Also playing Super Mario Sunshine. Honestly probably my least favorite 3D Mario to date. Besides feeling very clumsy it has some pretty sloppy level design here and there. Still a decent game, but having played Odyssey this game feels very dated.
Halls of torment is really fun. Not only can you keep unlocking stuff for a long time, you can run multiple different builds on each character to keep things interesting.
Aw, Sunshine is my favorite title, but I can’t find myself disagreeing on the “Odyssey makes it feel clunky” note. The only point of note for me is that Sunshine feels much more open world than Odyssey does. Probably the nostalgia speaking…
I do feel Halls of Torment does a good job of separating itself from Vampire Survivors. There is actual aiming and an attack button if you want and there's Diablo style gear you can equip before and during runs.
What it is not good at is visual clarity. I very frequently take damage or even die because I couldn't see something over all the stuff my character was throwing out. VS also has this problem but it's lessened by the fact that by that point everything's probably dead in 2 seconds anyways.
Finished up Banjo Kazooie last night. Always good for a quick playthrough. Still BG3 with my wife as time allows. Not quite sure what solo game to pick up next.
Been playing The Binding of Isaac a lot for the last couple weeks. I’m approching 500 hours total and Tainted Lost is breaking my will nearly everyday 🙃. I want to finish Disco Elysium, but my ADHD is really bad lately, so I end only playing Isaac since it’s my confort game.
I also just got a Switch OLED, which will arrive by mail in a few days (delayed due to almost being sold out). I’ve also gotten cartridges of Breath of the Wild and Minecraft Dungeons for it so I’m excited.
I decided to take a break from Bloodborne when I found Mass Effect Legendary Edition on sale for $12. I’m doing a playthrough of those games since I haven’t played the Legendary Edition yet.
I just picked up Sea of Stars earlier today - i’m about a hour in and enjoying myself so far, no complaints. Otherwise, I picked up Pokemon Go in the past week & i’m really enjoying it. It turns out that a lot of my friends are still playing, and the Pokemon Go Plus+ I use for sleep tracking also gets bonuses in Pokemon Sleep if you use it for Go. Now i’m playing both!
I’ve been talking to anyone who would listen about Your Spider. This is possibly my all time favorite indie horror game, and the fact that it only has three reviews feels like an injustice to me.
I’m still playing Project Zomboid at the moment, it’s very intriguing when you make the zombie slower and more fragile, but double their population. 1v10 is doable this way, but a missed swing still mean death lol.
I did 2 survival runs in the last year, both near Rosewood, I had never been and it was nice to have a change of scenery. Can’t wait for the next big update, I’ll be back for another run for sure! We used these settings on our dedicated server:
1200% reading speed
250% XP
Higher Weapon spawn
Lower Generator fuel consumption
Cars have a higher change to have a little gas in them
Rosewood is nice, there’s a very easily defensible place i can hole up, a bit out of the town center so it doesn’t have high concentration of zombies, and near a police and fire station so weapon(fire axe, gun) is easy to come by.
Though the helicopter event will make you get trapped inside a place you can’t escape lol.
StarCraft Mass Recall. I discovered that StarCraft 2 is free to play recently, and someone modded in the entire SC1 BroodWar and a couple other campaigns
