I’ve been driving trains, learning how to build a medieval town and killing a bunch of zombies in Bel Air. How about you?
Bitcraft Online, Outer Worlds 2 and Palia. im in my cosy crafty era lol
Ball X Pit. Just bouncing my baby balls all over the place is the best.
My latest obsession.
That game is insidious. I started it one day, played six or seven hours a day for a week, hit 30ish hours, and beat the game. I couldn’t do anything else. I was so sucked in. Great game!
Haha, I did the same exact thing. I stopped after I realized it has seemingly infinite NG+
It’s perfect for the Steamdeck.
Yugioh legacy of the duelist is about all I’ve played for like the last month
Been fucking around with pals in Palworld again. Also trying to get matching free time with a friend so we can play Space Marine 2
My partner and I got Palworld when it came out, played maybe five or six hours…. I tried again solo later and got to level 10 or 15. Just recently, my partner saw me playing Enshrouded and mentioned wanting to try Palworld again… we started it up and put ten hour into it in one day. Yesterday we picked it up again, and put another ten hours in. Having a really fun time.
I completed Anomaly in Rimworld. My opinion is that it was awesome. I’m playing at the 3rd easiest setting, so it didn’t sting too much.
Does one ever really “complete” Rimworld though?
i have over 1100 hrs on it and i still come back for more. i havent even bought the dlc’s yet, but been playing since alpha 14 :)
Dude the DLCs add sooooo much
i know, i just havent seen them on sale at a good time for me (bought some other stuff this sale) but i do use mods to switch it up and i will certainly buy them at some point!
Background: I’ve never been a fan of the original Devil May Cry trilogy. I think they’re foundational to what’s probably my favorite genre, but as with a lot of foundational games, what came later surpassed them in most aspects.
What I’m doing this break: replaying through the trilogy in release order to see if I still hold the same opinion. I finished DMC1 and I’m halfway through DMC2 RN, and yup, I still hold the same opinion so far. Immense respect for the ideas this trilogy introduced, but I don’t care what kind of nostalgia glue fans are huffing, there’s a reason even Kamiya and Itsuno moved on from fixed cameras, for example.
They’re fun games, but I would rather be replaying Bayonetta, DMC4 or 5, Assault Spy, or even Hi-Fi Rush. I enjoy the breadth and freedom all these descendants offer.
Finishing old games for me:
- Opus Magnum
- Mages of Mystralia
- Trying (and failing) to beat the attack helicopter level in Teardown.
Opus Magnum
That game scratches my brain in such a satisfying way
I finally finished Metal Gear Solid 4 (❤️!). I played a bit of Helldivers 2 with friends. And I’m still working on my first playthrough of Tomb Raider 2 on my Anbernic handheld as my couch game.
Got back into arc raiders just in time to do the expedition, and close to finishing the flickering flames project
I’ve been burning through some Gamepass offerings that I’ve passed over.
The Wolf Among Us is a fun Telltale game.
Superliminal is a good mindfuck puzzle game. There were a few times that it took me a while to find the key to the puzzle, but I never felt “stumped” throughout the game.
and I’m a few hours into Monster Sanctuary which is essentially Pokemon in a classic Metroid map. Having fun so far and planning on sticking with it for a while.
Factorio Minecraft and rimworld
But that’s been the same for last few years so shrugs
During what break? Xmas?
In order of most played recently to least played recently:
GTAV
Dark Souls Remastered
WWE 2k25
I’ve been playing mega bonk. It’s very addicting and fun
Same, it’s a nice expansion on the vampire survivors formula
No break for me but I’ve been doing “old dog, new tricks” by picking up some SMW Kaizo. I’m four exits out of seven in Shell’s Retriever so far. I think I’m doing fair for only being a couple weeks into playing romhacks and for last playing SMW in the 90s. I don’t think I’ll ever get around to “Baron of Shell” or any other crazy hard hacks but it has been fun working on a few of the “easy” ones.
I’ll probably get back to Factorio after I finish Retriever. Possibly not until after the sequel, Shell’s Redeemer, but I’ve previewed it and it looks substantially tougher.
