I’ve been playing some Bomberman.
I feel like I’ve started so many games these past weeks and months but haven’t stuck with any… but I guess nothing new for me really as I never finish games anyway.
I finally got Mario Kart 8 on the switch. It’s a blast playing with my kids and showing no mercy 😈.
I also installed the Jupiter Hell Classic demo (a demake of a remake of a roguelike unmake of Doom.) I enjoy it but similar to Jupiter Hell I’m pretty terrible at it so far. It’s definitely worth a look if you’re a roguelike fan. You can play the original unmake DRL (Doom: the roguelike) for free, or also try the demo for JHC on steam.
Dysmantle has me looking for skulls and tires to crush.
Playing horizon zero dawn atm. Got easy red 2 and battle front 2 and road craft for multiplayer with my group
After finishing Nier Automata in my Switch (quite an awesome port tbh, I cheated a bit as I overclocked my unit to make it run smoother) and Breath of The Wild I am focusing on smaller games, which are:
- Monument Valley (Android)
- Retro City Rampage (PS Vita)
- Pokémon Omega Ruby (almost finished, 3DS).
I haven’t played Retro City Rampage before but Monument Valley was awesome, and so was Omega Ruby.
Been working my way through the achievements for State of Decay 2, I’ve almost got all the supplies gathered up in my community to speedrun through the last two legacies on the hardest difficulty.
It’s a really solid zombie survival, that walks a nice balance of not having standard survival micromanagement. Accessible(fun) combat, and some expression in base/resource management but not to the point where it dominates moment to moment play. Hits the good middle ground of permadeath in terms of losing survivors, but still having a community so you’re not losing all your resources/progress.
Just started No man sky, first play through. I’m still not sure what I think of it. It seems too be a time guzzler. On one hand it must be entertaining because 4 hours past in the blink of an eye. On the other I don’t feel like I’ve done or seen much. Time seem to be the main currency behind most things you do .
No Mans Sky is totally a time guzzler. It’s incredible how easy it is for hours and hours to go by like it’s nothing. It’s a really fun game though, and I’ve sunk hundreds of hours into it.
I did one playthrough shortly after it came out doing things the way you’re supposed to, and then I decided to just have fun with it and started using a save editor to give myself all the resources that take ages to farm or craft. That was a game changer. It’s so much more fun when I can just explore and build without having to worry about not having enough fuel for my jetpack, or not being able to finish a building because I don’t have enough resources for that one last piece of glass, or having to salvage a fuckton of ships just to open up inventory slots.
So if the game ever starts to feel like work for you, I suggest using a save editor and going to town. The devs don’t seem to have much of a problem with it, and it really opens up the game.
I finished my play-through of Skyward Sword HD. Story 10/10, game 7/10, overall 8/10.
Continuing to play through classic Zelda games, I started a play-through of Minish Cap. I played this once before years ago, but I don’t remember any of it. The Minish are so freakin’ cute, I forgot how fun this little game was!
Still trucking on the !incremental_games@incremental.social with Antimatter Dimensions, lovely unfolding mechanics, would probably appeal to completionists because getting achievements actually gets you in-game bonuses. Also have been playing the Zachtronics puzzle programming/electrical engineering game Shenzhen I/O that could make a person a bit more comfortable with in real life assembly languages.
i played a bit of fallout 4, but i dont really understand the hype that was around it. its a loading screen simulator with an awful city repair element slapped on top.
not a huge fan :/
it sucks… i really enjoyed all of the previous fallouts i played (FO1, FO2, FO:BoS, FO3) and expected something better.
I‘ve completed Cyber Hook and I can‘t recommend it enough. Screw the story, the gameplay loop and movement is what it‘s all about. It‘s an absolute hidden gem, hands down. I strongly recommend everyone to give it a shot!
I‘ve also been playing some Horizon Chase Turbo and while I think it‘s pretty unique nowadays and runs great on the Deck, it‘s a bit too fast-paced for the small screen in the higher difficulty levels. Still recommend it though.
Lastly, I‘ve done some further quests in Assassin‘s Creed: Unity and I remember reading here that the movement reached perfection in this title and while it might be the best movement in the series (I dunno), I think the movement’s absolutely terrible lol, and the combat is worse still. Everything is so inprecise and slow, the character jumps to ledges I didn‘t even think about and takes ages to climb even when pursued or flatout refuses to climb something for five seconds… And I still don‘t know why AC had to turn into these permanent tavern brawls, stealth seems to be impossible, I‘m now resorting to just smoke bombing and cleaning up every fight. I do enjoy the sightseeing and world but man… I liked Origins more as a game. I won‘t pretend like I‘m an AC god, but other entries in the franchise clicked with me more (2, Black Flag, Origins).
I’ve never heard of Cyber Hook before but it looks awesome. I’m definitely picking it up. Thanks for the recommendation.
I’ve added Horizon Chase Turbo to my Wishlist, and downloaded the demo. I’ll probably check it out soon.
Horizon, if you enjoy it has an F1 dlc mode that I think is even more fun than the base game
Duly noted, thanks.
I’ve been playing Fire Emblem Engage on and off for the past few weeks. I don’t care for either the story or characters, but gameplay is really good imo.
