Hey folks, what is everyone playing this week? Are you trying something new or returning to a previously played game or genre? How are you liking what you’re currently playing?
It’s no big deal. You just play until you realize you made some critical mistake at the beginning, and decide to just yeet a 140 hour campaign so you can fix the problem on the next go around…
The Resident Evil 2 remake. It’s pretty awesome honestly. I’m actually pretty surprised how good it is. It’s easily my favorite RE game behind the original release of RE4.
Picked up Skyrim Special Edition for PS4 used a while back for $5. I got the free upgrade to the PS5 version and have been playing Skyrim with my son for his first time. I am enjoying playing it again with better graphics, and he’s loving seeing it for the first time.
Except those last few levels, virtually impossible on impossible mode with the free-tier heroes:-(. I tend to like the original and Frontiers much better, though ironically Origins was one of the most “balanced” of them all, and that was neat to experience as well:-).
e.g. archer towers should shoot singly, fast, and at high range, while barracks hold the line and are focused more on defense, right? Nope, the former do AoE magic bombs instead, while the latter shoots arrows into the sky. And artillery should focus on offense and hit AoE in as wide an area as possible, right? Nope, there are tanky bears and the shots hit only a narrow space. I’m cherry-picking these examples, but you get the idea - every tower does stuff that overlaps with what you would think other tower types might do instead, which makes for some fun thinking to deal with the foes.:-D
Not super old, but I’m working through Borderlands 3. I’m also playing through some old-ish games with my 9 y.o. like Portal 2, Supraland, Spyro remastered in an effort to change up his usual Fortnite/Minecraft/Roblox.

A gaming sub free from the hype and oversaturation of current releases, catering to gamers who wait at least 12 months after release to play a game. Whether it’s price, waiting for bugs/issues to be patched, DLC to be released, don’t meet the system requirements, or just haven’t had the time to keep up with the latest releases.
Grey Goo and Satisfactory.
Replaying Grim Dawn for the nth time, finishing the main campaign and then heading into the DLCs. After that, I’m not sure.
Just finished Cacoon pretty looking easy puzzle game followed by Heretics Fork
No man’s sky Disney Dreamlight valley Cult of the lamb.
I’m playing Fallout New Vegas properly for the first time. Started not too long after Starfield released and I’ve been really enjoying myself
Excellent choice! I wish I could experience FNV for the first time all over again, it’s so good. Got any idea which factions you want to align with?
So I already got the chip to Mr House. I put up with NCR I suppose. But I do enjoy the Boomers
Sadly the boomers are a minor faction, but if they did have an ending, it would be entertaining.
I’ve been playing Factorio… Help
This one scares me for sure haha

I’m okay… I swear…help
Don’t worry, they’ll be releasing the expansion soon. The factory must grow.
I’m so excited for the multi level trains. They would help me so much
Factorio

If I ever get back around to it I’d like to make a melee character. Seems like that would really up the challenge while fighting dragons
Star Wars: Republic Commando. Hell yeah
Really wished this got a sequel. Awesome take on the universe and I miss squad based single player games like that.
Project zomboid. It’s crazy how deep the game is and the mods make it even cooler
A lot of Kingdom Rush Origins. Working on beating the campaign on impossible. I definitely recommend it if you are a fan of tower defense games.

Core Keeper with a friend mostly
Back into Monster Hunter: World on PC! There’s still a small community of players filling up the servers, and it’s been fun.
