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.
I feel like the combat wasn’t necessary since the puzzles and exploration felt like the main focus of the game, but at the same time, I don’t know how they could have made the environment feel dangerous without the threat of death. There was a puzzle later in the game that did require you to injure yourself, but I don’t think that would have worked as a replacement for combat in the rest of the game, and being present throughout the game would lessen the impact of it in the short moment where it is actually necessary. Also, the guns were very neat looking, so that is an additional upside to having combat.
Even though this sounds like a lot of complaining, I don’t think I could come up with any other criticisms, as pretty much everything else about the game felt perfect. I don’t think it is the sort of thing I will play again, but it will be something I will think back on more than most other games.
Just picked it up, never played other cRPGs or D&D but I’m really enjoying it! Not doing a lot of quests yet but just exploring. Combat is quite difficult to understand sometimes because it has so many rules I’m not used too, but I’d like to think I’m learning slowly.
The rest and spell slot mechanic is also quite interesting, as it forces me to not pick too many fights before taking a long rest. This is totally new to me 😅
For anyone interesting I’m playing as a human conjuration wizard and my party is Astarion (arcane trickster), Shadowheart and Lae’zel (battle master).
The wife got me bg3 for Christmas, I’m very much enjoying it on my deck. Working through path of exile acts again, currently middle of act 7, decided to take a break for some don’t starve together which the d&d group plays when someone doesn’t show up, with happened a lot this holiday season.
Finished a durge run on BG3 honor mode last week so I’m quite burned out playing single player games ATM. So just bouncing around the Finals and Overwatch 2. Actually my old COVID gaming group got together to play Warzone since they reverted the movement back to the old MW19 I just might buy MW3 just to save my sanity of leveling the guns. I think that’s the main purpose of the MP versions of COD, just a guns leveling pass for the yearly weapons drop.
The gifted game 20 minutes till dawn that epic gave is quite fun, but less crazy than the original vampire survivors, I like the characters at least and that they put an auto-aim option.
It’s based around a city builder where you build a settlement from nothing until it is reasonably successful, takes an hour maybe, then your queen commands you to leave it to go settle another.
Each settlement has slightly different creatures populating it (humans, fairies, etc), different set of production buildings available, and different natural hazards and resources. So it is a scramble to set up production, roads and trade routes to fit the circumstances.
You also select difficulty modifier per settlement, which adds more mechanics and complexity as you feel like.
Between each settlement you upgrade your citadel, unlock new buildings and modifiers etc for your settlements.
There’s a lot more to it, but I hope that covers the important bits. :)

Finally starting my horizon playthrough on PC. Such a gorgeous game so far!
Fallout new vegas. It’s suprisingly good. Tho, it is a Vlašič, after all.
Just started playing the finals to get me off of overwatch finally.
I just finished Scorn, it was very interesting.

Just finished Unpacking. :) Sweet little game.
Baldur’s Gate 3.

Baldur’s Gate 3 is amazing. There is so many hidden things everywhere and it does D&D better than some campaigns I played
I’ve picked up BG3 and I’m making bad decisions.
I gave Shadowheart a big green beret hat and now she does slam poetry.
I also tried CoD but it got boring pretty quickly.
I never got anywhere near finishing Nier Automata so I’m doing that. A little Dave the Diver on the side.
After many many recommendations on here I’m playing Slay the Spire mostly, with some Valorant thrown in when I’m playing with my kids.
WoW classic season of discovery. Enjoying my time at level 25 doing world PVP and making gold on the auction house!

Baldur’s Gate 3. Kids got it for me for Christmas, thoroughly enjoying every bit of it so far

Took a break from Factorio (SE+K2 mod) to play some vanilla Factorio.
Oh and Against the Storm! The distilled “just the interesting bit” citybuilder with a metaprogression frame. That game can not be praised enough.
I don’t understand what you mean in regards to against the storm.

Cool thanks. I’ve been meaning to check it out as the visuals trigger some sort of nostalgia feeling.
