Finished Lost Odyssey over the weekend, and I’ve moved on to Xenoblade Chronicles 2 Torna.
The menus still drive me nuts like they did with the base game, but it’s still fun to wander around. The characters are already growing on me a bit too.
Does it have different characters than XBC2? I have it lying around but I feel like I‘m not ready to see them without Rex since the trio grew on me so much over the course of the game
Galactic Civilizations III. I'm about 10 turns away from filling up the Ascension Crystals with a custom civilization focused on research.
The research tree seems endless with many 1-turn tech still left to unlock and I have no idea what to focus on in order to build the Ascension Portal/Gate thing.
But I unlocked the Huge design for ships, so I'm going to try and make one before the time is up.
I spent around 8 hours total on this match, most of it Sunday. I'll probably finish it tomorrow if I have time to play.
I finished up Guardians of the Galaxy this past weekend, which I enjoyed. Nothing world shattering but a solid title. I’m on a sports game kick right now, so I decided to start a franchise in Madden 23. I would have gone with 24, but it doesn’t seem to work on Linux.
Caught up on all the Vampire Survivors content that got released since I last played, now I’m finishing up GRID (2019) and Spiral Knights, with a race or two of Mario Kart.
I recently got Demon’s Souls up and running on my Steam Deck, it ran so well and I got totally absorbed in it playing it once through with the Blueblood sword.
This got me in the mood for more Souls-likes, so I just finished off The Surge 2.
It’s a better game than the first, more interesting combat, but suffers from similar issues to the first in long travel times, sometimes confusing level design and sometimes the combat can be frustrating.
I played it years ago when it came out and it’s still really good. It’s an indie grand strategy game with low production values but a game play loop I find very satisfying. The fact that it’s played on a realistic map of ancient Greece adds a lot of flavor and I love how the geography actually has important implications for strategy.
Dark Souls 3. Well I say Dark Souls 3. Reality is its Sister Friede. Over and over and over again. Stage 3 is easy to get to. But she kicks my ass in stage 3.
I’ve been playing Like a Dragon Gaiden: The Man Who Erased His Name and I’m in love. This feels like a perfect bridge between Yakuza 6 and Like a Dragon. The play styles for fighting feel really clean and are actually fun, compared to some of the fight styles in earlier games.
Man, I have been so into EVE Online lately. I don’t know what it is, but it’s got its hold on me. Slow, incremental improvements that pay off later, with inventory/time management and a solid corp (EUNI) just ticks all my MMO boxes.
Just beat the Telltale Expanse game (plus DLC). Just goooooood fun.
I saw so many Meh reviews of The Expanse. Glad to hear someone who enjoyed it! I’m a HUUGE fan of the books and TV show and would love to play the game at some point!
Yakuza: Like a Dragon. I've been meaning to get to it for a while. Still early on in the game when it's still introducing new mechanics, but I'm enjoying it so far. I was kind of skeptical if I'd enjoy a turn-based RPG Yakuza game as much as I'd enjoyed the previous ones, but the combat is winning me over. Being able to summon a flock of pigeons to peck enemies unconsciously certainly helped.
