Have you been spending hours trying to pass a level? Or maybe you are completely addicted to a newly bought game. Do you have a question about a game or would like to share something else? In the Weekly Discussion Thread, you can do it all!
Please don’t forget to use the spoiler tag as soon as you start talking about a storyline.
Talos Principle 2 is just… wow. It’s been years since I played the first game and it’s remarkable how fast the sequel was able to get me back in the space of “I’m here to solve puzzles and argue philosophy…”. Everything I loved about Talos Principle has been polished or expanded, and the way the writers somehow managed to get me to accept that we need to solve a bunch of puzzles to advance the plot - AGAIN - is impressive.
Love it! The puzzle design is extremely good, almost nothing feels finnicky or overly complicated. The story got me good and I enjoy thinking about the specific themes it goes into. I’m only sad that apparently I wasn’t sufficiently convincing for ma boi Yakut.
Monster Hunter Rise. Just got into Sunbreak a few days ago. This is the first one I’ve really been branching out on weapons since I started in 3U. Gunlance and hammer are proving to be super fun, on top of my original love: SNS.
I started playing ATOM RPG again. I tried once a few months ago but my build made the game very unfun. I looked up a guide to a hood starter build and hope that helps me see what other people see in it.
Still playing Baldur’s Gate 3. I was fully planning on picking up Persona 5 Tactica at release but I was immediately turned off once I heard about Day 1 DLC. Really not okay. The reviews are mediocre and I’m also hearing that it’s short. I’ll probably pick it up on a sale.
Anyway, in BG3, I keep wanting to tinker with new builds and see places/story branches I missed the first three times. I don’t think an RPG has put me in replay mode like this since Final Fantasy Tactics. It’s pretty nuts.
I also restarted my subscription to World of Warcraft: Dragonflight to see the last raid and the end of the story for the expansion. I’ve never been so disinterested on resub like I am this time. I’m getting currencies thrown at me with little explanation, the community is still toxic as hell, and I’m just not into the story.
Currently playing “Dave the Diver”. The game is therapeutic :) Some parts require serious thinking and reaction but most of it allows you to just turn off your brain and relax.

I’m so happy the game is this good.

Mainly Baldurs Gate 3. Some Warcraft Rumble on the side.
Monster Hunter Now when I’m outside.
I kicked ass in the Half Sword demo last night, so I’m probably gonna do another run in Exanima and see how far I can make it.
Diablo 4 has consumed me and I can’t stop playing it

Been playing planetside 2 against my better judgment and the ADHD gifs have demanded I play missed Skyrim for the past month
On holiday in Australia so been playing “Don’t get killed by the wildlife simulator 2023.”
Dave the Diver. It’s so chill yet somehow frantic. Just an all round great game.
Picked up graveyard keeper on sale for $4 and I’m addicted. Plays a bit like Stardew Valley but with a dark edge. Great game overall.

I played Stardew Valley Expanded until 1am.
Playing through Frost Punk. Well banging my head against it is more accurate
Lol. I played that about 2 years ago. Too difficult for my liking.
