Hey folks, just checking in to see what everyone is playing this week! Did you find a hidden gem or are you jamming on a classic? Let us know what you’re playing and what you think of it.
Project Zomboid. I’m always back to PZ whenever I feel like “gaming”. The continuous flow of mods makes this game better and better every time I open the workshop.
I played Turmoil which is honestly pretty fun but nothing mindblowing.
I‘ve also finished Supraland which is also recommendable but I wished the dev would have actual useful pointers where to go and what to do next, I‘ve been lost walking around for an hour until I just gave up and checked out a guide on where to go multiple times. Especially when you put it down and come back to it a couple weeks later you‘re doomed lol
Shoutout to Lovely Planet which is an entertaining speedrun FPS that doesn‘t look like much but for sure surprised me. Final shoutout to Pineapple on Pizza which is a ten minute f2p game with a wholesome ending
Supraland is great. I intentionally try to avoid going the right way when I play single player games, but in this one, that kept just putting me where I needed to be lol
I’m not one to usually play the latest games, but a friend recommended Chants of Sennaar and I’ve finished it in a few days between this and last week.
It’s been a very fun experience and I hesitate to say more because it’s that kind of game that is best to go in blind. Just know that it’s about figuring out language in a point and click adventure game which has some breathtaking architecture, scenario and cultures.
I watched SSS stream the game and kinda wish I wouldn’t have watched. Gonna wait a bit so I forget some of the puzzles then check it out. Such a beautiful, and interesting game.
I don’t think I would classify it as a horror game really. It’s got some gritty subjects that it dives into and there are a few storylines that can be a bit gruesome, but overall it wasn’t really scary. It was more witty and philosophical at its core.
I watched a stream of someone who played through every ending because the game is just captivating and so well done.
I thought it would have been a much more in dept experience, instead I find character interactions very simplistics. I expected for interaction to have actually a bigger impact, when its honestly pretty meaningless especially with my character only knowing a few sentences outside of cutscenes.
Missions or tasks honestly feel more like chores thogheter with the lessons, that I feel like leave you with little time for missions. I completed chemistry and english, and feel like I can finally breath somewhat before completing art and sports. I hate how running from dorm to class you still end up having to dodge the principals because apparently you are late and are wanted for “unjustified absence”.
I honestly also don’t really like my character too. It is prothraied for his real dislike of being pushed around, yet it almost feels like he kneels to the feet of Gary Smith like its really nothing for how trusting he acts. But I am still at the start, and with how Gary acts I feel like this dude is 99.9% going to betray me.
Journey to the savage planet. Been placing through a coop campaign with a friend and it really good. The tounge in check humour is great, awesome parkour dynamics, beautiful environments. First game in a while I’ve wanted to 100%.
I’m doing another playthrough on hardest difficulty while only leveling intelligence perks. So, all I do is use smart guns and quick hacks. It’s a very different way to play.
I played it all the way through on launch on PC.
It had bugs, and it was missing some glaring things, like proper cop AI. However overall I had no game breaking bugs. But also, I didn’t really follow the hype until the game was already coming out, so i didn’t have many expectations going in. I highly recommend it. Performance has improved, features have been added and refined, and it’s got a very rich and detailed world to play with. I haven’t played the DLC yet, but I’m hearing that’s pretty good as well.
Gotcha, that’s about what I’ve heard from others too. I’m glad they continued to work on it and make it the game that they originally envisioned. I’m looking forward to playing it eventually haha

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.

Zelda: Oracle of Ages!
(on a Miyoo Mini Plus, and it’s a lovely experience!)

I think I will continue playing Dark Souls Remastered. I am not that far at all. The second boss is killing my nerves.
Or I continue with Minecraft: Create above and beyond Modpack
I still haven’t gotten into the Souls games yet. I think I just can’t handle that level of punishment from video games
Friends tell me that this game becomes awesome once I finish the second boss…
Its a mix of punishment and curiousity.
Spiderman 2. Trying not to hurry through it but it’s tough
I have mostly been playing Forza Horizon 4.
I am not a car nut, but fun and relaxing to play while listening to a podcast
Forza Horizon 3 has been in my backlog for a long time, been meaning to check out the series.
Forza Horizon 3 just had its servers shut down, so no multiplayer any more ):

I assure you it’s very much worth it. If you watched too much of it, then it’s probably best to give it some time before diving into the game, yes.
Slay the Princess
What a crazy, unexpected gem. Without spoiling anything, it’s a hand-animated interactive narrative game with strong Stanley Parable influences.
That came across my recommendation queue the other day - despite my dislike for horror, it looks interesting enough that I might check it out!

Appreciate the feedback, thanks!
Resident Evil 4! (the original, not the remake)
Man, what a great game this is so far. It feels oddly nostalgic even though I’ve never played it before. It’s peak design from 2005.
Playing Canis Canem Edit for the first time. To be honest, I had very high expectations and they didn’t really get fulfilled.
Oof, that’s rough. Is that the one known as Bully elsewhere? What hasn’t been to your liking?
Yup, that name is for PAL releases only.

This sounds interesting. How does coop parkour work?
Cyberpunk 2077. Damn good game.
Just finished playing this for the first time. Loved it wished there were more in world missions to do as I enjoyed the city.
I’m doing another playthrough on hardest difficulty while only leveling intelligence perks. So, all I do is use smart guns and quick hacks. It’s a very different way to play.
Another backlog game I would like to get to soon. Did you play it on release at all?

Finished Batman: Arkham Asylum yesterday. Also started Witcher 3 a while ago and have yet to finish that.
Two Bonafide classics!
Diablo 4 and EA Sports FC 24
One of these:
