Hey everyone! I have no power in here, have not checked if anyone has started one of these but I feel like being the change I want to see in the world.

So! What are you playing this week?

I just started off Claire Obscure Expedition 33, and at the same time, have been getting my girlfriend to slowly wean off of Guilty Gear Strive and try out older fighter games like Guilty Gear XX and a more recent one, BlazBlueCrossTag (both to great success)

Also still haven't beat the first major boss of Nightreign, not looking forward to the trashtalk from friends after the nerf because they did it first

I just finished Dark Souls 1/2/3 100%, so as a pallet cleanser, I'm back to metroidvanias with Dust.

I actually went back to give star citizen a shot since they added these "flight school" type missions that actually pay pretty well. It's a chill experience to just pop on after work and do like 6-8 of them since they only take a few minutes each and then log off.

Other than that I found this game hard time 3 that is absolutely unhinged madness. It's a janky messy game, but it's fun chaos to mess with for a bit. It's free on mobile, but I bought it on steam. It already has a horrendous camera and dealing with that on mobile is just asking for an aneurysm.

Just got back on PlanetCrafter with my mate.

We are having a blast on the Moons update !

Abiotic Factor, Nightreign a little, Outlast Trials, Monster Train 2, Across the Obelisk

[–] 2ugly2live@lemmy.world 2 points 1 week ago

Monster Hunter Wilds, and my friend and I play the Outlast Trials together. I haven't gotten far in MH, but I'm really enjoying it.

I have been playing a lot of Vintage Story. It's been drawing me away from "finishing" Blue Prince and really digging into Clair Obscur: Expedition 33. They're all so good, I just don't have enough hours in the day to actually play everything. Stupid having a job and adult responsibilities.

[–] overload@sopuli.xyz 2 points 1 week ago

I've been wrapping up endgame dungeons in Clair Obscur this week, having played through the story last week. I was a big PS1 final fantasy fan as a kid that later got into dark souls/Sekiro, so this game hit so hard for me. I can't recommend it strongly enough if you've been a fan of these genres.

[–] psoul@lemmy.world 2 points 1 week ago

Playing Core Keeper with no wiki. Having a blast, didn’t realize how much content the game has now. I need to play without a wiki more often. Much more fun.

Moonstone Island at the moment. And Baldurs Gate 3 because cross-play finally lets me party up with my husband.

[–] ICastFist@programming.dev 2 points 1 week ago

I've played some old Silver Box Dungeons and Dragons games (Heroes of the Lance, Dragons of Flame and Shadow Sorcerer) I got from a GOG promotion who knows how long ago. Stuff from 1988-1990. My god, those games suck HARD. Granted, PCs didn't have much in terms of "good real time action games", but those just feel awful from start to finish. The fact that increasing cycles or adding frameskips in DOSBox doesn't speed up the games doesn't help, either.

Shadow Sorcerer isn't as bad as the previous 2, no longer being a side scroller and being real time tactics, but it doesn't quite cut it.

[–] blomvik@sopuli.xyz 2 points 1 week ago

I am playing Drove and really loving it. Most likely done with the first chapter. The Gothic inspiration is clear, but it plays entirely differently. Gonna join the Remnants as they were more playfully written.

[–] Almacca@aussie.zone 2 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

Shotgun Cop Man. Short sweet and simple from the people that made My Friend Pedro. The movement system and level design feels pretty sublime when you get in a good flow. And I just discovered there's Steam Workshop levels!

THERE'S SO MUCH GAMES!!

Abiotic Factor - I'm close to reaching the end

I'm still looking for a game for the weekend. I'm thinking of something with exploration, management and maybe first-person.

[–] moody@lemmings.world 3 points 1 week ago

Sounds like Satisfactory might be what you're looking for.

[–] Keegen@lemmy.zip 2 points 1 week ago (2 children)

I finished my second playthrough of Drova - Forsaken Kin (wanted to see both of the camps + experience the new content added with the last patch) somewhat recently and it gave me the itch to go back and replay the first two games from the Gothic series. I'm already done with Night of the Raven and making my way through the first game now. Getting them to run smoothly on Linux was a bit of a process but other than that they still hold up incredibly well, at least in my incredibly biased view.

Just started playing Splitgate 2! Didn't really pay too much attention when it got announced, but I saw it was live last night and gave it a try.

As a long time Halo/Arena Shooter fan, this game really scratches a certain itch. The gameplay is crisp, the art direction is fun, and I had a blast. Now I just need to get better at using my portals in game...

Something that stood out to me is that the install (at least on Xbox) was only 17gb! After so many gigantic games, it's nice to have one with a manageable file size.

[–] crusa187@lemmy.ml 2 points 1 week ago

Deadlock, and too much of it at that.

In PoE 1 new league waiting room (at last!), drops 6/13

[–] LBP321@lemmy.world 2 points 1 week ago

Been playing Ori and the Will of the Wisps. Just completed Blind Forest and this seems like a great sequel so far. :)

[–] caut_R@lemmy.world 2 points 1 week ago

Core Keeper with my gf and Children of Morta/PUBG casuals with a friend. A bit of PAYDAY 3 with a group.

[–] Famko@lemmy.world 2 points 1 week ago

I've been trying out the Half Sword demo recently and yep, it's medieval combat QWOP. Very fun tho, in spite of my poor framerate.

Other than that I've been setting up maps and stuff for a DND one shot I've been planning to run. Will be fun to see how that pans out.

[–] agent_nycto@lemmy.world 2 points 1 week ago

Finished playing through Atomic Heart, and because of that wanted to play a game that was, you know, actually fun instead of a miserable slog, so I've been playing Crab Champions and playing the original BioShock again for the millionth time. Sometimes Sea of Thieves.

[–] Amnesigenic@lemmy.ml 2 points 1 week ago

Picked up Star of Providence this past weekend and I'm hooked, the pause menu music has been looping in my head nonstop since

[–] LettyWhiterock@lemmy.world 2 points 1 week ago

Ffxiv since the relic weapon stuff is out. Getting pretty far in that grind.

Also replaying symphony of the night. Just been in the mood for it. Haven't really been playing anything new lately. Deltarune chapter 3 & 4 are out and I'll start playing them tonight, but I'm at work for the time being sadly.

[–] devdoggy@lemmy.world 2 points 1 week ago (1 children)

So, I'm thinking of starting, for the third time, Witcher 3. I liked it the second time I tried it but there was something, off about the game.... I think it's time for another try at it.

Revisiting GTA 5. Doing some multiplayer in Minecraft

[–] merida_belle@lemmy.world 1 points 1 week ago

I recently finished Horizon Forbidden West and immediately started Oblivion Remastered. It’s just as good as I remember it and I’m enjoying exploring Cyrodiil all over again.

[–] CrabAndBroom@lemmy.ml 1 points 1 week ago

I'm currently playing:

  • Star Citizen (I know I know. I paid like $40 into the Kickstarter years ago and I dip in about once a year or so.)
  • Last of Us 2 (again)
  • Schedule I on Steam Deck is pretty fun.

I'm also currently gearing up to get horrendously addicted to Rimworld again since there's apparently a new DLC on the way.
