Infinifactory. I always get the free Epic games and take them for a little spin, but this game is way more interesting than I expected! It’s a level-based puzzle game where you make automated factory lines.
I was blown away when I beat the campaign and the second campaign unlocked. 10/10
I’m still on Nioh, but I’m almost done having only a few main missions left. I still think it’s great, but it does suffer from its blocking mechanic being so strong. While bosses are usually the best thing about soulslikes, I often find myself having only one or two fights against a boss to succeed. Once you know their entire moveset it’s really easy to execute the fight, mostly blocking and poking the boss. Dodging as a mechanic is harder to execute due to the timing required instead of just holding the block button, but it’s hardly ever required.
I started last night after work and had to force myself to go to bed. The movement and combat in the game are a ton of fun and giving me Doom Eternal vibes. Dancing around the battlefield, using the right attack on the right npc, and just making things explode.
I’ve been trying to get into the Borderlands games, since surprisingly I’ve never played them (though I’ve played games that my friends have told me are “spiritual successors” to the BL games, such as Destiny). Though, I am getting stuck at the first bosses for BL1 and 2 haha.
Grounded. Awful xbl sign in experience that turned out to require turning off the pihole type AdBlock or whitelisting like 70 weird m$ domains. No dedicated server so can’t self host on a desktop and playing with friends requires the save owner to be available or use a janky save sharing thing that probably can’t solve the case of co-op team accidentally hosting it separately and progressing because steam notifications are annoying and turned off. Game is decent enough otherwise and most of the things I didn’t like in gameplay turned out to be upgradeables that would eventually become less irritating. It’s a buildcraft survival with bugs and spiders and the player characters are small enough that a blade of grass is more like a tree trunk.
Elden ring (had to stop playing on release due to arthritis, hands working better atm). It’s pretty good. I got up to volcano manor on release, doing liurnia atm so still on the easy/familiar stuff although finding a few things I didn’t get last time.
Dual Scythes are fun but garbage slow in pve so I might respect after the fight with empty nester. Trying a dragon communion build but there aren’t many dragons early game so mostly I just have no useful stats so far haha.
I’ve been playing Shadow Gambit: The Cursed Crew and have been having a blast so far. It’s a little like a cross between a MOBA style game and Metal Gear set in the Caribbean and you basically play as the undead Barbarossa pirates as they quietly murder their way through a mission.
Assassin’s Mirage. It’s not good but not bad as well. Better to wait for a sale and complete it ASAP before Ubisoft shuts down the servers in a few years.
I’m a die-hard AC fan, but typically only play through the game/story once and then put it on the shelf. This year, I picked up the UbiWhatever subscription at $15/mo, played through AC Mirage in a couple of weeks, and dropped the subscription. It’s even better than waiting for a sale!
