Persona 3 Reload. Only played a bit of the original but I’m loving this remake. The QoL updates make it feel more fun and less of a slog. And I love the newer graphic style.
Did a bit of helldivers 2 with friends. Good fun but between work and kids I don’t have a lot of multi-player game time anymore.
I’m still jamming on PalWorld. Set up a dedicated server and have 4 other people who hop on randomly and play, it’s great to come across them while exploring. It feels like an alive world. Almost level 50 and breeding all the uber monsters with 4 legendary stats. This game just scratches all the right itches, and it doesn’t even have the quests, raids, or other content they are planning yet. Too fun.
Currently have over 100 hours in Persona 3 Reload and I haven’t even completed the game yet.
Always wanted to dive into P3P/FES until Reload was announced, and I’m so happy I waited. The game is very polished and I’ve heard it is a faithful remake of the OG P3. Definitely going for a NG+ afterwards!
Monster Hunter World. This game‘s got me in an iron grip. I‘m looking forward to playing the Tales of Arise DLC which is discounted rn to 20 bucks which is the kinda price I would‘ve expected to begin with.
Mario Kart on the side, playing the expansion pass courses, currently at „Mirror.“
Been alternating between replaying Elden Ring on my PC and the original Ratchet and Clank on my new (to me) PS2. Making good progress in both.
Currently working through the last level in R&C and I forgot how brutally unforgiving that game is with the limited health and scarce checkpoints.
I’m almost through the academy in ER. Fixing to fight whatshername with the giant baby and the kamehameha attack. Already beat that god-damn OP knight guarding the entrance to her boss room.
Playing Occupy White Walls occasionally. Playing Shattered Pixel Dungeon on my phone. Pondering buying that uhhh roguelite ‘poker’ deck building game whose name has gone out my head now
Balatro. It’s good. I love making cursed poker hands with aces that count as every suit and granite blocks and then racking my score multiplier up to 86x with stacked jokers. It’s a fun game.
It‘s such a unique game, I‘d rate it way higher if bleak/depressing stories weren‘t a turn off for me, but I liked it regardless which should say a lot
Archmage Rises on Steam. It’s in Early Access so there are some parts that are rough especially since it has generations history and quests (go see SoAndSo in NewTown. How do I find NewTown? Ask SoAndSo, he knows the area. 🤪). But it’s fun and not as difficult as I was first afraid it was going to be.
The UI is decent but doesnt feel quite there yet: close button for shopping doesn’t feel like it’s on the correct place, font size for time of day is a bit to small for my 15 inch laptop screen at 1080p (not sure if changing resolution would help but non-native resolution on laptop never looks good IMHO).
I’m on my first character playthrough. It’s a perma death open world RPG that has a story to it. The story so far (I’m a few game months in) seems to wait for you but certain missions have time limits once you accept them.
The economy and the cost of things…seem weird. Not bad, but not like other games… And I’m fine with that. I like the ability to haggle with merchants when buying/selling(?) certain items.
Developing relationships give you little bonuses (according to the interface).
When attempting skill checks you get a d20 from that uses your bonuses. A 1 seems to always fail even when you get enough to pass by your bonus. I’d rather see the Pathfinder 2e system than the D&D d20 system when it comes to rolls so that there isn’t a guaranteed 5% chance to fail even an easy check but that’s not game breaking.
I definitely need to start away from gambling. I suck at it.
Content warning:
As an open life simulator, the finished game allows the player and NPCs to participate in a vast range of human experiences both bad and good, including: slavery, murder, cannibalism, sexual activity (non-graphic), pregnancy, and religious worship.
Finished my first a BG3 run, blind. Was considering starting a second run, with “perfect” choices (and mods) but it seems that patch 6 broke quite some things.
Gonna spend time playing “dad games”, then. I don’t know what’s so appealing about those “X simulator” games, but I can absolutely get lost in them.
Still just a heavily modded Skyrim playthrough that still remains perfectly lore-friendly. But I’m strongly considering playing Kingdom Come: Deliverance soon. Unfortunately for me, the prospect of modding the hell out of Morrowind again is also calling to me.
