Been dabbling in a lot of games lately. Battlebit has been taking most of my game time for the last few weeks. Is it just me, or have servers been getting laggier?
On the single-player side, I've been slowly making my way through Asterigos, which is a Zelda-like from last year. Enjoyable combat, gorgeous settings, but I can't help being reminded of a post on r/truegaming about how bad writing can ruin a game. All of the dialog feels way too modern for its own good (which isn't helped by the "aspiring voice actor" grade acting), and most of the plot points have been boring or predictable.
I also have a guilty pleasure in f2p trash like Smash Legends and Flash Party. Judge me all you want.
I'm considering modding my Stardew Valley game yet again. Haven't maxed out all the things, tedium is creeping in.
Playing Factorio for the second time, now enabling enemies. Really fun game
Remnant 2
I enjoyed the first but didn't complete it. Remnant 2 has much the same AA jank but it's fun as hell.
Could we add a date to the titles going forward, rather than numbering them? I was attempting to start this weekly discussion myself, and have been posting it on Sundays for the last few weeks, but I'd be happy to cede to this thread from you if you'd like, @quinten@lemmy.world
I used £35 of Microsoft Rewards points and picked up Remnant 2 on whim. Didn't play the first one but I'm really enjoying this so far.
I gave in and bought Diablo 4. I haven't gotten to the endgame but I'm having a lot of fun playing through the campaign so far.
Finally started playing Chrono Trigger. I've never been a huge fan of older games or JRPGs, but what I heard about the quality of the game and it's story interested me enough to give it a shot regardless. So far I'm actually enjoying it a lot!
Xenonauts 2 Early Access - got to the end of playable content.
What is there already is solid, and I have no doubts the full game will be really good. It feels like somewhere between 30-50% along the plot has been added. The game on display right now is not worth the listed price, so anyone not super duper interested in seeing it take form along the way should hold off until release.
