Nearing the end of Lies of P… It exceeded my expectations and I’m very satisfied :D I’m even considering buying a DLC for a game I’m just “renting out!” Aaaaaahh I’m hooked, I need more!
I played a little bit of it at launch but never bought it, I’ve been tempted to though every time it goes on sale. Soulslike is my favourite genre so I know I’d love it, I just haven’t gotten around to it yet. I think it’s free on PlayStation right now so I might play it there instead of pc.
Yes, I’m playing it on ps+ right now. If you have access to that, I’d say go for it!
Will do. Thanks!
Picked up the original Hollow Knight on sale a little while back. With the all the buzz around Silksong I finally booted it up, having a blast so far!
Enjoy! It’s a great game. I’ve been cheating on this community and playing Silksong, it’s a great sequel. It’s one of the rare times I’d recommend buying a game when it’s still new. But definitely play Hollow Knight first, it’s such a great game.
My exact experience!
Petition for Silksong to be considered an honorary patient gamer game, given I waited seven years to play it.
Yeah I’ve been playing Silksong too. Bouncing between that at a replay of Assassin’s Creed Origins whenever I fail on a platforming section too many times.

Just my friend and girlfriend into it. Theyve added a lot of tools, ghost types, and cursed objects since i lastnplayed
I feel the description of this community fits me to a tee.
I’m playing Silksong.
Typically this community is for games that are more than a year old (i.e. you were patient to buy it) but I think Silksong is an exception and I’ll allow it in this community. I’m also playing it so I can’t judge too hard.
Also Silksong released at $20, which is a price point people are often waiting for older games to hit.
Regardless of semantics, Silksong is the only game I’ve played since it released.
That previous game I played through was Portal 2. I barely ever buy games on release.
Just that it was kinda funny this one time I’m playing a recent released game.
Portal 2 is awesome.
I make these posts every week, I hope to see you comment on a future post too!
no doubt
Went and tried playing Dark Souls again after leaving it on hold for a few months and this time it clicked HARD. I finally get why people love these games so much. The atmosphere, the combat, the sound effects, how it teaches you to persevere my god what an experience. The only thing I regret is not starting this sooner back when I had more free time lol

Enjoy. It’s one of the greatest games and one of the greatest franchises of all time.
If you continue with the series and play Dark Souls II next, keep in mind it’s the black sheep of the series. Not to say it’s bad or anything but it’s very different from the rest. You may prefer it, you may hate it, just don’t judge the whole series on it. Dark Souls III and Elden Ring are much more fast paced and a fair bit more challenging once you get into them. Sekiro is basically a different genre and plays much different from the rest but is imo the best first playthrough of the lot. It’s way harder though. Demon’s Souls is slower paced like Dark Souls but has a different world mechanic (hub world where you choose which level to enter, complete it, then go back to the hub and go elsewhere). Bloodborne is the only one you can’t play well on pc (Demon’s Souls isn’t native on pc but you can emulate it quite smoothly), but if you have a PS4/5 it’s a lot of people’s favourite game.
Thank you, I definitely will. I’ve only reached the second bell so far, but I’m pretty certain I’ll try the other titles fromsoftware has made so this info is nice to have. Funnily enough, I had a chat with my kinesiologist about souls games and he said dark souls II was very off putting for him, I guess I’ll try and see what the controversy is all about later on. Hope Ahead!
Good luck in your journey! I’m very jealous. They’re all fantastic initial experiences. They’re great on replays too but nothing beats the first time.
If you’re binging all the games in a row, maybe save Sekiro for the end. Or play some other stuff before going to it. It’s hard enough as is, but it’s especially difficult if you’re coming fresh off a Souls game. Your impulse reactions you’ve learned will only hurt you. Likewise if you play Sekiro and then go back to another Souls game you’ll struggle again. Not to scare you off, just to keep you informed. If you play different games between though you should be fine with any order. But it’s a commonly accepted fact by most of the community that the most surefire way to make Sekiro harder for yourself is to play Dark Souls first.
In case you’re curious why, Dark Souls (and the rest) mostly play by you dodging attacks and attacking back when it’s safe. Most bosses punish being greedy and reward being patient. Sekiro on the other hand doesn’t really have dodging, it’s more of a repositioning (very few invincibility frames compared to the other games), and instead you’ll be parrying basically everything (don’t worry, parrying is a lot easier in Sekiro than Dark Souls). You also need to give constant pressure to your enemies, and it’s basically suicide tackling more than one at a time. The reason is, while Sekiro does have health bars on enemies and bosses, their stance meter is way more important. Most bosses you’ll kill while they’ve still got a majority of their health remaining, because once their stance breaks you can deal a deathblow. Parrying and attacking both increase the meter which breaks stance, but if you’re idle for more than a second it goes down. Once it clicks it’s very satisfying and a ton of fun but if you’re used to Dark Souls it’ll be a struggle to unlearn dodging everything and taking your time. Again, not trying to scare you away, it’s probably my second favourite game of all time, but if you aren’t aware and go in blind you could get scared off pretty easily.
Palia had an update recently that added ranching and possibly better home building so I’ve been doing that with twin.
Haven’t tried the home building yet cause I need to prepare for it. It’s extensive!
When POE2 came out, I played it for a couple hours, hated it, and went back to Diablo 4. I saw it at PAX a week ago and thought I’d give it a try again since I quit D4 and was jonesing for that fix. It’s doing pretty well so far. I’m in Act 3.
Still making my way through Skies of Arcadia Legends. Just arrived at Yafutoma but the game is such a slog sometimes with the random encounters :(
Also chilled out and played a little bit of Beat Hazard.
Skies can certainly be slow. Though if you feel like grinding levels you can do that after yafutoma and pretty much one turn the normal fights and makes the ship battles much smoother.
I’ve actually not skipped many battles so lvl wise it’s all good. I remember playing on the Dreamcast originally and when a battle was about to trigger the console would make a noise so I would pause the game to try an skip it.
Ah. Then you’re well versed already. I have played through it enough times at this point that I actively and purposefully grind the materials I need well ahead of time, though I don’t think I’ve ever 100%'d the game. I think the worst was getting the death prevention accessories for my group so I could take on the angel of death without getting one shot. But I have spent an exorbitant amount of time leveling off loopers near their landmark.
Monument Valley is/was free on Epic. It’s a nice little puzzler. I like it, enough to beat the main game and start on the DLC (included). Lightweight, cute, not too many mechanics. It’s not nearly as visually impressive or as challenging as my favorite space bending game, Manifold Garden, though.
Cyberpunk 2077
Apparently the game was such a disaster at launch that shareholders sued the game’s producer CD Projekt Red and won a settlement against the company.
I recently picked it up on sale and with the addition of a healthy dose of mods (the game is the fifth most popular on Nexus) it’s a truly enjoyable experience. In fact, it sets the standard for open world games so high for me that I don’t think I’ll be able to enjoy Bethesda games ever again.
Persona 5 Royale on Steam Deck. JRPGs and handhelds are a match made in heaven. My only complaint is every time I think that I’ve escaped the tutorial, there’s more tutorial lol.
Jet Set Radio. Having so much fun once I got used to how floaty it can be.
Trying to get back into Dragon Age Inquisition. I really didn’t care for the combat, but I’m there for the story.
