It’s sometimes horrifying scary, and stressful, but it’s so great, I hate the underwater sections, but this game definitely is a masterpiece. When I saw the sky, this game became so good
Rusty Lake: Roots (finished)
I truly intended to play through this game without spoilers, but I failed at about 60% progress. Then I found the puzzle to be not that interesting
Honestly, I didn’t enjoy this game, the puzzles were boring for me. I won’t play any more games in this series.
My Summer Car(just started)
This game is about a Finnish guy and his car. I love the game’s nostalgic 90s atmosphere so much. However, I estimate it will take me about 50-100 hours to complete it. So, I have suspended playing it for now.
Elite: Dangerous(abandoned)
I have complicated feelings about this game. The controls feel so good and realistic. The scenery of flying a spaceship to explore the planet’s surface is breathtakingly beautiful and lonely. When my pilot died from running out of fuel, and then oxygen, the suffocation process, accompanied by the gradually increasing breathing sounds, was both terrifying and strangely captivating.
However, the game has numerous glitches and inconvenient aspects. Unfortunately, My patience ran out after a while, I abandoned it.
What a pity, if this game were further developed and polished, it could have been a true masterpiece.
Overall, I still recommend it if you’re truly interested in the space simulation genre. Even just playing for 5-20 hours is a worthwhile experience.
Putting the finishing touches on Darksiders Genesis with a friend. Game was alright. My advice would be to play the game on Medium or High settings with Ultra textures. I realized too late that I could‘ve played with 50% higher framerate while the game hardly looks any different all this time lol
I also hope to figure out why the fuck I suck so much at Dorfromantik and get a bit more into the game this weekend.
Just started Baldurs Gate 3 and have been enjoying it so far. My biggest complaint is that the keyboard map is just off enough from the Owlcats Pathfinder games that I keep screwing up small things.
Also looking at getting back into the system Shock remake since the big box finally showed up yesterday.
Still playing Daggerfall and The Sims.
With Daggerfall it’s more of a research project rather than a playthrough at the moment, will probably go back to playing soon. As for The Sims… were days in the first game always this short? It really feels like there’s barely any time left after coming back from work and taking care of basic needs. Man, if I wanted more of that I would just focus on my own life.
Besides these two I was thinking about going back to Hollow Knight but then I found out I didn’t backup my saves before reinstalling the OS on my desktop. I was half way through the game. I decided to play Medabots: Kabuto for GBA instead.
I played this game a bit before - don’t remember when exactly or for how long though. I also forgot pretty much anything about it besides the Medabot customization system (it’s neat). I’m still not sure whether I like the combat (not being able to select exactly who and where you attack can be a pain) but I got a hang of it and have enough fun to keep playing. It’s also super easy to cheese, at least early on.
Other than that game is pretty dope. Story is simple but fun, music and visuals are great and the already mentioned unit customization add a lot of choice to combat (especially if you’re willing to avoid minmaxing). I honestly didn’t expect to have this much fun with the game.
While I did like what I played so far I just can’t be bothered to start from scratch right now. I’ll get back to it eventually but the backlog beckons and there’s A LOT of titles waiting for their turn.
Fire Emblem: New Mystery of the Emblem (the Japan only one)
I was going to try to blind ironman like FE11, on the first Hard difficulty setting, but while losing my healers in chapter 2 and 3x due to silly boss moving and ambush reinforcements was funny, losing two seemingly important characters in turn 2, because of a Thief you can’t kill in 1 turn without using a staff, was not. (They ended up not saying anything in the postbattle cutscene anyways, lol)
I’ll still try not to reset, as per usual in FE (I LIKE losing units and trying out replacements), but not if I lose out on recruitable characters because I didn’t figure out the puzzle solution for the first 3 turns. I did kill Matthis because he suicided into me, but fuck that guy.
Troubleshooting Simulator. Hopefully, Far Cry 3 a couple of hours from now.
Edit: For anyone else who is having issues with the UPlay version of Far Cry 3 and hopes to find a sliver of hope here: I utterly failed. The game refuses to work. I even tried dxvk and vgvoodoo. The only “solution” I found (short of just buying the Steam version) is running it on integrated graphics (780M).
Dragon Quest 9 on DS (emulated). Prior to this I was playing Kingdom Hearts Recoded also on DS (emulated). My recommendation is to enjoy what retroachievements does to your old favorites, lol (can’t wait for DOSBox integration).
I’m generally a PC gamer but I was playing the steam ports of Kingdom Hearts (they are bad ports) and now I’m just emulating things. Can you believe those lunatics lumped 4 games of achievements into a single set without any order? There’s even duplicate names for things, it’s a wildly sloppy port, lol. Not recommended.

We’ve made it to level 19 in Pantheon.

You should give Hollow Knight another shot. It’s seriously such an amazing game. I’ve been thinking of replaying it soon

I started playing Monifactory, a modern Gregtech CEu Minecraft modpack. Someone send help.
Basically extra complex Satisfactory, but everything is blocks.
Dead Space. The remake looks great and the sound design is bonkers. I love the utilitarian design of the tech as well. Headphones are recommended.
Too many stutters though
Playing Blasphemous 2 right now. Definitely a lot of QoL improvements over part 1.
Beat two bosses so far, both with great move sets but the second one was a little bit on the easy side.
Also, playing Super Mario Galaxy for the first time on my Deck.
Half life 1 with rtx mod

I recently played through Disco Elysium and i think it may be time soon for a 2nd run through soon!

Back on my Minecraft habit. Experimenting with pale oak logs a little, but mostly branch mining after work to chill.
