Since I blew up my Skyrim by accidentally updating and rollback doesn‘t work for me, I‘m just playing some Spiral Knights and GRID (2019) while waiting for mods to catch up again.
I’m taking a break from BG3 to replay Doom Eternal. I got the DLC for it a while ago and never played. I also need the space back on my Steam Deck lol so I need to finish it so I can uninstall.
That was my first “i cant believe how fun this is” in a while. And all the DLC is cheap and adds a good chunk to the game for how simple it all is. And addictive.
Fallout 4! I’m playing on Survival mode for the first time and having a lot of fun. I have a ton of mods installed too, but nothing to make it easier really lol
I’ve found that mods like iHUD, removing the cash register sound for XP, directional pipboy light, flashlights, darker nights, and storms (these can be set to be just visual rather that radiation inducing) all help make the game more immersive without dramatically changing the difficulty.
I do enjoy the health rebalancer which removes scaling health and instead makes some enemies baseline tougher and some weaker. IIRC it also makes headshots on humans instant death. No more blasting away at some scaled raider as they just keep attacking.
Recostuming the Minute Men in something closer to surplus military clothes makes them instantly less lame.
Also replacing all the pipe guns with weapon packs of real world handguns and machinepistols is for me nessesary, as I do not at all enjoy the FO4 pipegun designs.
Finally, the backyard bunkers mod allows a bomb shelter with a hatch you can place inside a settlement. Going inside moves you to a private space. NPCs won’t barge in and it’s a safe place to store extra gear.
I’m away from my PC/consoles for the next year but I’ve been all over Polytopia on mobile. Easy to learn hard to master. Very complex little game that I can play through a few times a day with lots of replayability.
I’m a little late to the game, but I started playing Breath of the Wild on Ryujinx (I learned in December that my secondhand Switch is jailbreakable). And now I see why so many people loved it.
It also gave me strong Elden Ring vibes when gliding through the world, so I see where ER got its inspiration.
Ravenswatch is a really fun roguelike that’s great solo, but the multiplayer is also really fun. Every character gives you a totally unique gameplay so it doesn’t get boring with time. I’m really excited to see what the game will look like when it’s released, but for an early access game it’s great and doesn’t suffer from lack of content because it’s challenging and has a nice variety of enemies so if somebody is on the fence about it, I recommend trying it out.
Been playing Sons of the Forest. Visually stunning, this is good looking game. I like how it can be played as a shooter or an adventure or base building or combination of all three. The map is huge, backstory mysterious and the atmosphere is incredibly immersive, particularly in the caves which are creepy AF.
How does it compare with the original Forest? I liked that game, but after you explore all of the caves there’s not much to do. Building is fun, but I think some stronger enemies were needed.
It’s an improvement. The enemies continually increase in strength and number. More weapons and the map is bigger. I’m avoiding using the cheat maps for the most part and it feels like it would take a very long time to complete. I’m playing it on normal difficulty.
The game is still in beta for another month and building options are somewhat limited, which I assume will be expanded. If you liked the original, this one makes a lot of sense.
I started playing Pikmin 4 this week. The opening tutorial was pretty slow but once that was done and the game opened up I have started to enjoy it. First time playing a Pikmin game so wasn’t too sure if it would be something I’d like but looking good so far!
