I was almost done with it last week, but I finished Baldur’s Gate - Siege of Dragonspear DLC. It’s terrible. The story is trash, especially the second half, and all characters, your party included, lose the ability to put two and two together. I haven’t played BG2 and don’t know if I ever will, but I can’t imagine this DLC is adding anything to the overall story.
Then I played through Final Fantasy VII Remake again. I definitely thought the game was shorter, mainly because I forgot about all the terrible moments. I still like the game, but there are a bunch of bosses and sequences that are cancer, and the game would be better if they were removed completely or at least much shorter. Hopefully it doesn’t take too much longer for Rebirth to make it to the PC.
Finally, I re-subbed to World of Warcraft for a month. For the 20th Anniversary, there’s a huge 3-month event going on. It’s running until early January, and you can get a bunch of old or removed stuff again. I’ll just do some quests once or twice a week, so I can buy the stuff that I want.
Someone previously shared this site (darkpatterns.games) that reviews and filters games based on whether they have predatory ads or gameplay mechanics. Useful resource.
i recommend Vector Pinball for simple fun, and Luanti (formerly Minetest) which has many gamemodes, including classical Minecraft experience. You can also just buy Minecraft.
Don’t Starve: Pocket edition is a fun paid survival.
Started Mech Armada, a roguelite which is turn based and with a fairly good customisation system which gives full freedom in making units from what you ‘find’ (pay to unlock randomly by paying a resource which is also used for other things so you have to choose) in the run.
Required a fair bit of learning through experimentation but now I, at least keep winning the first map and have just reached the boss of the second. Without any of the ‘roguelite’ bonuses. Which you can unlock with a separate currency earned. I chose not to unlock anything to see how viable it is without unlocks. It is decent. That said, there are more pieces added to the ‘gacha’ as you play. Through an experience system. The experience system carries over between runs but is not really a ‘boost’ since it just unlocks a bigger pool of more varied parts.
Shattered Pixel Dungeon. It’s free to play with no ads but I would encourage you to support the creator (who is also the mod of the lemmy instance) if you can.
It’s a rouge like dungeon crawl. You’re going to die and start over a lot, but totally worth it when you win.
It’s one of the few roguelikes that actually holds pretty close to the core of Rogue, too - completely turn-based, procedurally generated, with an emphasis on what you find rather than level-up abilities. Great game.
I should try the Cleric soon, I’ve just got so many other games rn…
