I had a magical moment yesterday, looking at the Steam Sale and tempted to buy Dying Light: The Beast, and it hit me that I have the original Dying Light in my backlog.
Eight hours later, it’s safe to say I really like this game, and spending zero dollars is pretty nice too.
What’s everyone else playing?

This is crazy, I just woke up and I remembered I drunkenly installed a game yesterday but couldn’t for the life of me remember what the game was. I opened my lemmy app and see this close to the top and remembered it was dying light: the beast. I finished the second one a couple of months ago and wanted to take a small break before diving into the new one, while also letting some more patches be released.
I’m currently playing Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 too but I’m unsure if it’s for me. I see why it’s so loved but I’m not at all good with tight timing stuff and I feel the exploration is a bit lackluster.
I wanted to like it but I hate the parrying mechanic so much.
Wild because I couldn’t enjoy the game without it.
I’m glad that feature’s int here for you, in that case.
The parrying/timing mechanic is what stopped me from buying it, too. I’ve learned I’m too particular about games to buy them on release.
Same. Looks good, but not for me. Nephew loves it.
