I got myself a new computer, and now I can finally play one of my favorite games, which is Warhammer Dawn of war II. Haven’t played it in maybe 5 years. Glad to be back
I remeber buying DoWII + Retribution just so I could play The Last Stand with my online friends. Great fun! I very much recommend it, even more than the actual game :)
What do you think of 3? I just couldn’t get into it and I think it’s that the 3D camera just makes it harder to see what you want to see and select what you want to select, as opposed to 1/2 where that was so effortless. That bad feeling stopped me from trying it thoroughly.
I actually am one of the few fans of all 3. I’m also looking into Planet Coaster made by the same people that made 3
You won’t really appreciate how good 3 is until you start messing around with the UI and really get a feel for when you’ll need to toggle on ride height flags and path height flags, etc.
Borderlands 2! Graphics may not be hyperrealistic but the artstyle is amazing, not to mention the fact it can run on pretty much any setup (even a PS Vita)
I played the shit out of Borderlands 2 until I realized it really wasn’t fun. The guns and stuff are cool, but the shooting feedback wasn’t satisfying enough to justify continuing. Then Borderlands 3 came out and improved in every way on the core mechanics and I was too tired of Borderlands 2 to care. I really wish BL3 came out like 5 years sooner.
I tend to jump between games quite a bit depending on my mood and what else I’m doing at the time so this ended up a bit longer than planned. Sorry for the wall of text, just wanted to vent somewhere.
Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker
I’m still pretty early into the game (chapter/world 2, I think?) so all the puzzles are rather easy but that doesn’t matter - I’m having fun. It looks lovely too.
Ico
I’m a bit torn on this one. I really like the idea, (so far limited) story and the atmosphere of this game. On the other hand, I’m not a huge fan of the camera (I get what they were going for but it can be quite bad at times) or combat. Oh boy, the combat…
I can live with it being janky and not particularly involved but why in the name of our lord satan did they have to put it on display so often? There are SO MANY combat encounters and all of them feel like a chore. Combat made me go from “oh yeah, let’s play this legendary title” to asking myself whether I want to go through it that day, each time I’m thinking about booting it. Hell, there were a couple of times where I entered a new room, saw the game spawning another batch of enemies and thinking “you know what? I’d rather play something else right now”.
I’m still going to finish the game as I do enjoy it for the most part but it’ll definitely be a rougher experience than expected.
NFS Most Wanted (classic)
It’s a classic so no much to write here. Still plays well and it’s perfect to pop in for a race or two in between doing other things. I do miss some of the events and atmosphere from Underground games but MW is good enough for it to not be a problem.
Katawa Shoujo
I’ve been in a mood for VNs recently and decided to start with this little gem. I played it once before, and wanted to see how well it holds up (it’s still pretty fun so far). I’m probably going to try a few different routes this time just to see how they go - not going for a full completion though.
Puzzle Quest
It’s a RPG/match 3 title for PSP. I’m not a puzzle game aficionado but I do like to play them from time to time and this one is really fun (I think I played more of it than all the already mentioned games combined so far). I do have 2 problems with it - they aren’t particularly serious but still something I’d like to mention:
I really don’t like the music - it’s not bad, I just can’t stand it for whatever reason. It’s the same issue I have with Skyrim funnily enough.
RNG can be rough - the amount of times I lost a battle on turn 1 is not even funny. RNG gonna RNG so whatever, it’s even less of an issue since defeat doesn’t have any real consequences as far as I can tell (non important to matter anyway). I really like this one.
RimWorld
It’s something I drift to whenever I don’t have anything else to play. It’s good, though how much fun I have depends on where my head is at the time - right now I think I’m getting close to being done for a bit.
Tetris DX
This might be my most played game on my Steam Deck. It’s a Gameboy Color version of Tetris, what else is there to say? It’s really addictive.
Wizorb
A fun and colorful block breaker game. I played a little bit of it some years ago but stopped thinking “I’ll get back to it when I’m done with other stuff”. This time installed it to steal some ideas get some inspiration since I’m working on a similar project right now. I like it (for the most part) - there are some technical issues (game doesn’t scale properly for ultrawide screens) and some that come from being used to my own game but it’s good. I’ll definitely play more of it for fun rather than just research.
Special mentions:
Cataclysm: Dark Days Ahead - saying I played it would be a bit much. I tried it for a bit and can see it being fun once you’re familiar with how to play but I’m just not in a head space where I can be bothered to get used to the controls at the moment. I’ll try again some day.
The Sims - I mostly just wanted to see how it fares on linux. No issues so far.
Bang Dream / Girls’ Frontline - my two daily drivers. Both are gachas, both are F2P friendly, both are fun.
Currently playing Lords of the Fallen and enjoying it so far. I would probably enjoy it more if I didn’t suck, but with enough full sends I have gotten past every boss I’ve made it to.
Same here: it is my first Diablo game and I am loving it! 80+ hours in and now I’m just grinding levels to try and get to lvl 100 and to get fully kitted out in my first character. It’s been so cool to grind levels on my Steam Deck OLED while watching TV on the couch.
Funny I get bit by the KSP bug once again just before the Science update drops for KSP2, but c’est la guerre, I love playing with a buncha mods and trying to do complicated remote controlled missions while trying to factor in communications issues and times when the craft isn’t in the sun.
I need better hardware just so I can properly (for me) enjoy KSP v.v By which I mean like, RSS/RO though I prefer fictiony star systems (Ciro system <3 !!) :3 ^.^ Such a cool, fun thing, especially with lots of mods :3
I’ve just started with the OPM mod and it’s been a delight exploring the new planets and their many many moons! RSS/RO seems like a fun challenge one day, but I do like the simplicity of the 1/10th scale Kerbal world.
What’s the Ciro system? Are there mods for entirely new solar systems too?
Smaller and simpler is definitely fun but I’ve got the bug where I always feel like I’m missing something if there aren’t as many mods as possible installed 😹 I assume there are still system replacers available now… but suddenly it occurs to me that maybe that’s stopped being a thing? Hard to imagine KSP losing an entire category of mods but I feel compelled to point out that I don’t actually know these state of it these days :-\
Hmm, me and my buddies have been playing Warhammer 40k Darktide. I only really play it because they like it. I am actually starting a new playthrough of outward and wanna use less mods this time. Maybe even get further in the story and not take the hardest route from the start! 😑
