Noita!: I agree with many in dubbing it my favorite single player game.
It is a pixel art alechemy and magic roguelike where every pixel is physically simulated and destroyable. Find spells and wands and combine them in programmer like ways to multiply their power. Many tricks in the game are so strong they feel like cheating, but the game has been built with challenges that surpass every trick.
It is the epitome of endlessly repayable. Especially switching between the few mods that drastically change the map.
I can easily have a god run last me 5-10 hours. But I still have a lot of fun with the more common 30min-2hr runs.
That’s pretty cool! I never heard of it before but it’s on my Wishlist now. I’m definitely curious to check it out.
Tony hawk pro skater 2, played it often when it first came out and hearing about the 3/4 remake coming out soon reminded me of the games and it’s been decades, I wanted to see if it holds up. It’s showing some age in the fighter combo style tricks and arcade style levels, but the soundtrack is still good, and progression with unlocking stats and levels through goals is fun and wanting to beat a goal after failing a couple times keeps me coming back.
Finally got time to play Battleblock Theater after finishing Castle Crashers
Can’t wait for Painter’s Paradise
I used to love playing BBT on the 360 with a friend of mine. Enjoy, it’s a very entertaining game
I picked up mirrors edge again after some weeks without playing it and i cleared a level yesterday. Was going to do a session now as well, but now my save had been wiped. Probably related to me struggling to figure out lutris and heroic and messing around abit yesterday evening. It a little of a bummer but at the same time i found the game a little too frustrating - a good idea not executed well enough to be a truly enjoyable experience in my opinion.
I am abit indecesive at the moment. I fired up both tales of symphonia on gamecube and final fantasy 7 on ps1 yesterday, kinda want to start another jrpg but at the same time not quite where i want to commit myself to a long game. Also installing fallout 3 now so hm…
I fired up theme hospital for some fun this week as well though, that was a welcome nostalgia trip :)
Have you tried Two Point Hospital? It’s the same thing, just better. Even has the insane PA announcements from Theme Hospital.
I wanna look into playing all the FF but I don’t know which of all the versions out there to play.
Try FF 7 and 8. FF 6 gets recommended a lot.
Oh, not each FFTitle but like. There’s 20 different releases of FF4 for example. I’m kinda lost

Battlefront 2 multi player has come back to life for the moment.

I finished Deus Ex: Mankind Divided this week, and I’m now trying to decide whether I want to push through the DLCs or not. I’m kind of done with the game but if I don’t do them now I probably never will.
Overall I found MD to be good, but uneven. The main story overall suffers immensely from being the second game in a planned trilogy, but the side content is very very good. Gameplay was a step up from Human Revolution in most regards and there were some pretty good level designs strewn around as well. The final mission felt absolutely awesome to me and was one of my favourite Deus Ex missions, and Golem City was another highlight. The running theme of apartheid was also extremely well executed and the climax to that arc with martial law at the end felt very impactful.
Overall I think Human Revolution is probably better as it’s a more self contained and complete experience, but the highs of Mankind Divided are definitely higher than those of HR, in my opinion.
I‘m playing Bowser‘s Fury while waiting for some AFK grind in Core Keeper to finish for that sweet, sweet platinum.
Core Keeper‘s a really good game, the 100-skill-point-grind‘s gotta be the bane of any achievement hunter, though. Anyway, I recommend anyone who liked the likes of Starbound to give it a look.
I‘ve also finished Mario Kart World (not so patient) this week and went back to MK8 to check if it‘s nostalgia but nope, I really think 8 is so much better. A tip for anyone having trouble to three star on 150cc: Stop drifting. The game adjusts difficulty by the amount you drift. If you don‘t drift the AI stops being absolute rubberbanding BS. And you can press dpad down to rewind. If you do that before a blue shell hits, you can avoid the hit.
I‘ve also „finished“ PUBG with a friend of mine this week. It‘s a really fun game but also… so sweaty at this point that even low elo will likely absolutely smoke you. Can‘t really recommend it unless you wanna spend a long time in training to be able to keep up eventually. There‘s three casual games a day where 88% of the lobby are bots and you get to shoot at someone without getting insta headshot back, so that‘s fun at least.
Mostly Jurassic Park Evolution 2, offered by Epic a few weeks ago. Fills the little kid in me with joy, who loved dinosaurs after watching og Jurassic Park back in the day.
Completely ignoring the plot in Fallout 4 as I help yet another settlement
Stealth archer?
Less stealth and more “I’m hopped up on goofballs and nerd rage lets goooooooo”
I played super tux kart (or any kind of cart racing game for that matter) and had a great time
My friends and I love to hum the gloriously CC-licensed main menu music!
Finished up Darks Souls 3. There was the odd annoying area or enemy but overall I enjoyed myself quite well. It did not feel like the pinnacle of the Dark Souls experience like I have heard it described as, just more Dark Souls. Which is fine but I won’t start a NG+ anytime soon I think.
Funny, that’s one of my all time favourite games. Some of my favourite ever bosses are from that game, and the lows aren’t nearly as annoying (to me) as the lows of the original Dark Souls. I’d still say I prefer Elden Ring and Sekiro to any DS title, though.
Congrats! I feel similarly about DS3. Certain fights like Nameless King, Sister Friede, and Gael are some of the best in the entire series IMO, but the linear, grey/bleak levels drag on after a while and then you end the game with the meh Soul of Cinder. Plus that game is where the modern fast roll spam twitchy gameplay originated.
Antimatter Dimensions. Free, I have 1,000+ hours. Incremental/idle game though.
Heh. How is that a game? I ran it for a couple days. There wasn’t a whole lot going on.
But I have a similar pursuit. I have 396 (56%) achievements in Idle Champions of the Forgotten Realms.
Most of it is offline time, of course, but it says I’ve played 6,323 hours.To me, it’s a game. I get some people might not think so because the game is all menus and numbers, with minimal other graphics (not counting achievement backgrounds). But for me, it’s fun. A lot of people like these number go up games where the mechanics are about increasing the numbers fast without much other intermittent gameplay. [email protected]. It’s a whole genre. https://paperpilot.dev/garden/guide-to-incrementals/defining-the-genre/ might have some discussion on whether it’s a game or not, I forget, but it sure is a nice read about incrementals.
Also, there’s more, but it does take time to unfold.
