Started playing Deep Rock Galactic with the missus and we’re really enjoying it! I’m also obsessed with the new Dead Cells DLC and Doom mods/wads. I especially like Project Brutality with custom WADs, Bloom, Ashes and Aliens TC. It’s mental the time and effort people put into free mods for games and passion projects
I need a good multiplayer game to play.
And I hear Deep Rock Galactic is great.
Would you recommend it?
Definitely! If you have some people to play with (or even just one person), it’s a right blast. I haven’t really tried the matchmaking, but I don’t imagine that to be too fun though. Part of the fun for me and my SO is taking our time to really explore the caves and take our time.
I solely did matchmaking and it was mad fun. I don’t recommend solo at all. The game feels wrong solo. Rock and stone.
Awesome. I’ll consider it then.
Been playing some DOOM 64 and Resident Evil 2 (the remake). I’ve also decided to give Quake 1 another go after it decided to not actually save my data in the cloud, despite claiming it would.
Other than Shooters, I’ve been thinking of giving the RPG Maker Horror games (some of them I played+completed when I was young) I have on my library a go as well. (I have a life, I swear!)
Oh hey, fellow Q1 enjoyer
Yeah, I find myself liking it for some reason.
Have you played any of the other Quake games?
First three, then my potato couldn’t run games anymore. Played the DLCs (for the lack of a better term) for Q1. Still think it’s the best one
I’m currently playing Days Gone and I’m enjoying it a lot more than I thought I would.
My favourite genre is whatever the SoulsBorneSekiroRing games are. I also like Action games like Devil May Cry, Nioh, Ninja Gaiden, and Bayonetta, as well as RPGs like Dragon’s Dogma and The Witcher 3.
I also love story-driven games like The Last of Us (especially part 2, fuck the haters), God of War, Uncharted etc.
They’re called Souls-likes, actually.
I enjoyed Days Gone too, I fully completed it.
I’ve been playing some Red Dead Redemption 2, sons of the forest and some Victoria 3
Looks like you have SOME GODDAMN FAITH.
- Played the new Stellaris DLC First Contact
- Turn based strategy or RPG
- Distant Worlds 2. incredible simulation, graphics and UI
Awesome sauce.
Still playing genshin, honkai and Skyrim, except I can’t stop modding Skyrim someone send help

Thanks for the offer! It’s more that I just find something extremely minor that annoys me in Skyrim then I spend way too long finding a mod that fixes it or creating one myself. It’s gotten to the point of being like an OCD thing lol.

Deep Rock Galactic is a pretty fucken cool game if you ask me
Happy cake day comrade!
thanks!
Started Star Wars: Jedi Fallen Order yesterday and been having a lot of fun. Thinking about getting back into Guilty Gear Strive after that because I’ve had the fighting game itch due to Street Fighter 6 coming out soon.
Star Wars: Jedi Fallen Order is a deceptively good game.
I have recently played Kerbal Space Program, Green Hell, Untitled Goose Game, and IXION. My favourite video game genres are survival, first person shooter, and space.
Quack.
Geese don’t quack, they honk
Good point.
I’ve been playing minesweeper.
The link’s not working, but no Im not that good
Not much time left for games, but I did play some Necromunda: Hired Gun on the weekend. But that is not the important part. See, I got kind of tired of the blood and gore (both on the gaming screen and IRL news), so decided to change the tune and installed a game that I grabbed randomly on Epic when it was free.
The game’s called Submerged: Hidden Depths, it is apparently a sequel to Submerged. It’s an indie platformer/puzzle thingie with a third person view. And it’s oddly relaxing and fun. You play as this girl in a colourful world that got flooded, going around exploring ruins and learning about new flora and fauna that now lives there. Quite nice
Oooo, indie platformers. I like those.
I’m playing Battle Brothers
Take care, brother.
Might play LEGO Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga next.
Still playing Pathfinder: Wrath of the Righteous and Elden Ring.
How’s Pathfinder? If I understand correctly it is made by Owlcat?
I absolutely hated WotR and loved Kingmaker. Apparently people usually feel the opposite way. The first one is great if you want any moral ambiguity. The second one has morals on the level of small children’s books. A huge drop in quality. I preordered because I trusted them after the first one and the game was an awful buggy mess on release and long after.
I loved both .
Is it that odd to like the first one and not the second? I played the entirety of the second one waiting for some interesting choices, the few interactions I enjoyed were with the evil-aligned companions (which is not really enough to warrant a full playthrough). The whole premise of the adventure path is underwhelming, really. Instead of doing something interesting like dethroning the monarchy, you get to fight demons for a feckless leader.
Some of the mechanics were improved, and I did like the mythic paths, but it felt like there was only one interesting chapter (the one where you travel to the demon city), even if it was annoying to navigate.
I don’t think it’s odd since I agree but the most common sentiment I’ve seen online was the opposite hence my precaution. I also wish they made a oriented game instead of pseudo multiple paths which play near identically with no choices to make you stop and think. I also hated how the mythic system worked. It was very random and if you don’t fart at the exact needed time during moon fading behind clouds on the day of a commonly spread diarrhea you won’t be able to get a certain ending or access a path if you don’t blink twice while walking over a teal carpet. (Bit dramatized but the requirements don’t make sense.)
That’s true, I guess I’ve just played enough similar games where I could say “oh, this feels like an important choice, I better do it.” And then my character became a lich.
But I can definitely see where you’re coming from for a certain other path where there are quite a lot of hoops to go through.
And I think the game is supposed to have replayability though those paths… but then they put all the content with the paths they think players will be drawn to. Not necessarily the most fun to play. Like, I picked Lich to resurrect certain dead characters, but there’s no interaction with them beyond “go home” and “come with me”.
Talking about the second game makes me want to replay Kingmaker. I actually liked the party members in that game.
It is made by Owlcat.
How is it?
I am not the right person to ask about these kinds of games because I don’t enjoy strategy-based combat. I put about 20 hours in the game and I liked the narrative but I wish it had much more focus. If you like games like Divinity and Pillars of Eternity you will like this too.
Thanks!
