I just platinumed Jedi Survivor (which was awesome, you should play it) and I'm looking for my next new awesomeness to play.

I have been finishing up Tunic. The game is fantastic and I love seeing all of the small little things that have been accessible the whole time that I have since gained the knowledge to interact with.

Almost done with Control right now. It's a really good game. A little too creepy though!

[–] DharkStare@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

Control is one of my favorite games. Everything about it was excellent. I'm so glad they're making a sequel.

Right now, Battlebit Remastered (which I just bought). Despite being not that good at the gunplay yet, I'm doing well and having fun just playing a medic and dragging people out of the line of fire for revives and heals. Highlight of today was frantically healing everyone in a full chopper while we dueled an enemy chopper over a capture point, with the pilot micspamming Pirates of the Caribbean music the whole time. Really brings me back to the good ol days of multiplayer lobbies (without a lot of the casual bigotry - game seems pretty good at actually banning it so far).

Replaying Control, I can play this one repeatedly.

[–] SPOOSER@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago (3 children)

I've been playing Battlebit Remastered on Steam and holy shit while it looks awful it's one of the funnest FPS I have played in a while. Super fun, super smooth, and scratches the COD itch from when I was a kid. I HIGHLY reccomend it!

Also Tears of the Kingdom.

[–] teft@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

That's the low poly shooter right? That actually looks pretty fun. I'll have to try it.

[–] SPOOSER@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

Yeah I was hesitant at first because of the low poly but the gameplay is top tier.

DayZ and Dwarf Fortress. The DF official soundtrack is so ooooo good

[–] conciselyverbose@kbin.social 3 points 1 year ago

Just started back into Elden Ring. It's crazy how much of the map is still left 140 hours in.

Kingdom Eighties, it came out today and it's a little bit of a spinoff from the traditional kingdom games, quite fun tho!

[–] adriator@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

My router died a couple of days ago (using mobile data to post this) do I have to play offline games... Good thing I installed a bunch of games on GoG just in case. Tried out Indiana Jones and the Fate of Atlantis this morning, currently clearing the tutorial dungeon in Daggerfall Unity.

[–] CerineArkweaver@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

Final Fantasy XVI while keeping up with my dailies on Final Fantasy XIV and Star Trek Online and Savage raiding in Final Fantasy XIV

[–] Botree@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Currently playing Death Stranding and feeling fit from the amount of virtual walking and carrying I've done. Next in queue is Everspace 2.

Still trying to get into Tears of the Kingdom after 50 hours. I absolutely loved BOTW but I really have trouble feeling involved with TOTK, it feels like I've already played the game. They slightly changed everything just a bit, just enough to change the gameplay feeling but not enough for me to feel the same appeal to explore the world.

[–] Bakoda@kbin.social 3 points 1 year ago

I've been playing almost exclusively Street Fighter 6 since it came out. I'm still terrible as it's my first SF game, but I am having a ton of fun

[–] caut_R@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago (2 children)

As far as singleplayer games go, I‘m playing Slay the Spire! I‘ve never played it much before (just modded meme classes) and it finally clicked with me!

Warframe: Really loving the Duviri update. I'm an old player but there's suddenly a reason to build out a lot of weapons that I've mostly ignored beyond Mastery farming. Fortunately, I kept everything so the only issue is having enough forma.

Minecraft: Randomly wanted to play it again (heavily modded, All the Mods 8, I have to scratch that automation itch). Haven't played in ages, so pillagers were a vanilla surprise and so was the fact you can now dig past y=0 (along with the new interesting caves and berries). In the end, though, I'm still a dirty melon farmer that subsists solely off my melons.

Kenshi: I also started Kenshi a bit ago. It's an interesting game, but it's certainly a slow burn which I don't necessarily like. I'm up to 10 characters now, but only two of them can handle combat with any degree of competency and everyone else keeps falling over from the slightest breeze. I'm currently just living out of Squin until enough passing by herbivores get stomped that my team can handle real combat. Fortunately, mining is extremely lucrative so I don't have to worry about food.

[–] Gandalf1701D@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

I've been thrilled with duviri for the same reason! I've gained some respect for weapons that I had previously disregarded and sold after leveling. It really feels like it's putting new life into the game. At least to someone who's gotten through most of it.

Mix of Diablo 4 and Halo Infinite multi-player depending on which friend group is online. Technically started AC:Valhalla as my single player game, but I get so little alone gaming time these days that I'm still only 45 minutes in after 3 weeks.

[–] EchoCranium@lemmy.zip 3 points 1 year ago

7 Days to Die. Basic zombie survival game. Friends and I set up a server and have been playing on and off for the past 2 years. The latest alpha version (A21) came out recently, so started playing again.

[–] squirrelwithnut@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Diablo 4. It's good, not great but I think it's a good foundation to build upon. I'm interested to see what Blizzard does for season 1. I don't expect anything dramatic like Diablo 3's latest season, but I'm still looking forward to it.

Having a blast with FF XVI. It's definitely one of the most polished of recent games, everything just looks and plays fantastic. Even if the game is super shallow as soon as you do anything other than the main story. The fantastic voice of Ralph Ineson is the cherry on top.

Final Fantasy XVI, and it's consuming my thoughts to a degree that surprises me, considering I haven't really liked one of those games since FFX. I've already put 15 hours on it since Friday (quite a bit for me, I don't get very much time to game these days). It really is incredible; I haven't had this much fun with a game since probably Read Dead II. I'm also playing Battlebit Remastered on the rare occasion that my friends and I are able to game at the same time.
I travel for work so on my laptop I installed Fallout 4 with a modpack obtained through Wabbajack installer (Welcome to Paradise) and I'm playing through as a melee-only knight. I'm using console commands to stock up on stimpacks and radaway so that I don't have to stop and loot since I've played this game several times; I can just run around like a madman with a sword, slicing legions of enemies apart. Playing it as an action game has been a ton of fun.

Also nice username/pic @Teft, I'm a big Stormlight Archives fan.

[–] FartsWithAnAccent@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

I've mostly been playing Wreckfest on my Steam Deck. Fun to pick up and play a few rounds.

[–] giacomo@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago (3 children)

Signalis - grabbed it on sale and playing through on steam deck.

Stellaris - I've spent too much time building empires only to lose interest in mid/late game.

Wrapping up Hollowknight, finished up elden ring before that. Looking to try out FFXVI.

Was wanting to check out the jedi games too.

I'm deep into the second act of Ghost of Tsushima and I'm completely baffled how I missed this game when it came out. It's absolutely beautiful in every way possible

Daggerfall Unity and Morrowind on OpenMW. Those games got me more hooked than Skyrim

[–] solidsnake2085@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

You should try the Yakuza games. I'm currently on Yakuza 0 with 150 hours in it. I'm gonna have to play through again to get all the achievements, but it has been one of most fun games I've ever played.

[–] Zrob@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

Still playing Tears of the Kingdom.

I will launch up Tactic Ogre Reborn when I'm traveling. Working on endgame right now in that one.

[–] TwystedKynd@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

Got back into Hardspace Shipbreaker for some mindless relaxation. Also Chivalry 2 and Diablo IV.

[–] GustavoM@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

Lemmy. It's a pretty nice minigame whilst between breaks.

...

what?

First witcher right now. Tried it like 10 years ago and couldn't get past the clunky controls. In the meantime I've read most of the books and played the other games, so I had to give it a go and this time around I'm really enjoying it!

Recently became a father and regained my love for my Switch, since it allows me to play in short bursts and pause whenever and wherever I need to. I'm currently playing through Xenoblade Chronicles Definitive Edition and loving it.

[–] linkinkampf19@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

Mostly PC based stuff. Currently just started Unpacking, chill little cozy game. Been playing Voidigo for my fun twitch shooter fill. American/Euro Truck Simulator in VR for my sit back and drive fill. Skyrim VR for immersion.

[–] ultrasquid@kbin.social 2 points 1 year ago

I'm not usually a fan of triple a games, but I bought Doom Eternal yesterday and its been really good so far.

[–] feidry@midwest.social 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I've been stuck on All The Mods 8 (Minecraft "kitchen sink" modpack) for the last week or two. Kinda just caveman-ing my way through all the quests. Playing with Minecolonies and setting up an RFTools Builder in the mining dimension so I don't have to manually mine most resources any more. I keep meaning to get back into ComputerCraft, maybe that's my objective for this evening.

Kingdom Come: Deliverance, I started playing AC:Syndicate too. I just want to try to play the games I've been meaning to get to before Starfield and CP2077:Phantom Liberty release because then I will have no time at all for any other games.

[–] Gatsby@lemm.ee 2 points 1 year ago

Been kinda burned out on videogames, I've been playing tears of the kingdom but I got the master sword about two weeks ago and haven't gone back to the game since.

Still play Dungeons and Dragons twice a week

[–] Eggyhead@kbin.social 2 points 1 year ago

FFV pixel remaster on PS5, TotK on switch, and Lufia 1 on my retroid pocket.

[–] eltimablo@kbin.social 2 points 1 year ago

Age of Wonders 4. I'm a pretty big fan of 4X games and it's one of the best-streamlined examples of the genre I've found. It has a lot in common with Endless Legend, but feels much simpler for new players to approach. Only downside is that the devs have committed to doing quarterly DLC, with each one costing $10, and the first one is already out despite the game being extremely new.

[–] LilBagOfBunnies@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

I've been playing a ton of Diablo 4, trying to get through the story so I can hop into World Tier III and start getting endgame gear. Starting to get pulled into wanting a structured single play let game again though, so might get back into TotK to do some side quests, try to finish FF7 Remake, or play through Pikmin 3 again.

[–] kratoz29@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

Jump Ultimate Stars online and Chrono Trigger on DS

Batman Arkham Knight on PS4

[–] teuast@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

Last night I finished getting all of the author medals for all of the campaign tracks for Trackmania Nations Forever. I really enjoyed E01 and E04 after I got the hang of them, I needed a podcast for E05, and E02 and E03 can eat my ass.

[–] baconpancakes@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

just beat red dead redemption 2. seriously epic story and amazingly gorgeous environments. going to dabble in red dead online just to get a few more achievements. thinking elden ring next!

[–] Dwigt_Rortugal@kbin.social 2 points 1 year ago

Torturing myself with Assassin's Creed series, I just beat Valhalla though, pretty good but could have been better if it was about half as long. That, and Tomb Raider series, made it to Underworld.

[–] MissJinx@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

I'm an old lady so I'm playing farm tycoon on switch and Kairosoft's dream town island on my phone.
