I picked up Total War: WARHAMMER III and Pennon and Battle, both strategy games. I'm thinking of getting Baldur's Gate 3 as well. This should keep me busy for a while. My holiday plan is to stay home and game!
Lots of CRPG and TRPG. A few experimental indie RTS. And a few indie auto-battlers. Plus a few casual co-op shooters. Oh, and some indie horror as well.
I'm surprised no one has mentioned Caves of Qud or Path of Achra (I got them both). Aren't we hipster enough?
I got:
Saints Row 2022 Not actually that bad honestly. I think we were too harsh on them. It's still fun, the characters are likeable, and it's got all the stuff you expect for a saints row game.
CP Phantom Liberty Not gonna be able to get this played for a bit but I'm hopeful.
Anemoiapolis I like backrooms and I got Pools a few weeks ago but got kind of bored so hopefully this one is better since it has actual puzzles.
I'm spoilering these. You know what that means. Don't fucking @ me.
spoiler
Mage Kanade's Futanari Dungeon Quest
Midnight Castle Succubus
Tower and Sword: Succubus These last two are part of a series, and I already played Castle in the Clouds. Even without the porn it's still a competent side scroller action platformer so I have good hopes for these two.
Might get more idk.
I bought a few, but the one that got me was Microsoft flight simulator 2020. It looks amazing in VR.
Covid.
Oooh so retro
I'm in great pain lol
In total, the only 2 games I've gotten that I know we're part of the sail were Sonic Origins (with DLC) and Sonic Mania (with DLC). Would be playing them more if I wasn't having to message Steam back and forth trying to get an issue with my deck fixed, though.
Grabbed the mass effect series for under a fiver. Played for a few hours and realized I was not enjoying it at all.
Exit the Gungeon (It's meh) Okami Axiom Verge Jojo's Bizarre Adventure: All-Star Battle R (That didn't work for me, refunded) Fight Knight (Might refund, it's not fun) New Super Lucky's Tale (2 in 1, remaster and original. Cool)
I misread that as enter the gungeon and got confused. But yeah exit the gungeon is a mobile game so it's mid to low tier.
I don't know whether I have the original or remaster, but I personally believe New Super Lucky's Tale is a pretty fun game.
Nothing. Everything its too expensive in argentina now
Outpost Infinity, Executive Assault and something that was cheap and on my wishlist for a long time, totalling BRL 89 (~15 dollars)
Highly recommend using cream installer or some other dlc grabber, I think it runs for like $500 if you buy all the dlc.
I bought Reka and Baldurs Gate 3, haven't played BG3 yet but Reka is fun! It's buggy so I'm holding off on playing more until it's a bit more stable but I'm excited. Been playing a bit of my backlog though before jumping into BG3.
I recently learned about "From the depths" because of Martincintopants Video about it. Yesterday evening I saw, that it was 50% off and bought it immediately.
Actually nothing this time. I got back into Elite Dangerous hard and play it pretty much every minute of my gaming time currently.
I got
Finally got Tunic. I'm pretty happy 6 h in!
Same. That and Pizza Tower.
Ara History Untold (a risky bet), Dustgrave, Errannorth Renaissance, and... back to playing Warframe!
Tactical Breach Wizards. It's a nice little puzzle game with some dry humor that ive actually chuckled too a few times. Its a lot of fun so far.
Spiritfarer: Farewell edition, Celeste and Stardew valley.
I took Age4 Sultans Ascend DLC and Cossacks 3 in previous sale before winter because I ended up with a bit more money. Somehow I didn't spent much money as usual in October, cook food on my own instead of buying cooked food.
I don't really have any other wishlist now. Instead I really want to make my own rts game but I have not been able to be productive nor playing Cossacks 3. But I did spent a bit more time with Age4.
I ended up getting Metal Gear Rising: Revengence, Sonic Adventure 2, Prey, Daemon X Machina, and Dragon Age 2. I have no regrets in my eclectic sale impulses hahaha
Dragon Age 2 is a bit ooof. Excellent combat, but the story and especially the scenery... you revisit the same parts of town and the same dungeon over and over and over.
DA2 has a solid story and very well written companions. I can understand it is too different from the first game for the fans of DA:O. Full disclosure; I didn't know there was a prior game and DA2 was my entry to the franchise and I love it to pieces.After playing DA:O, it made Hawke's story even more meaningful to me, since Hawke was one of many refugees who just did everything in their power to keep their family alive and well. We played through seven years of that struggle. It's a pretty special game to me.
Veilguard marked a new low in every game aspect of a DA game, so I now consider DA2 a masterpiece, considering it was developed in just 2 years. After the empty world of DA:I, I've come to realize, I'll take reused assets with well written stories and characters any day.
DA:I companions were well written mostly, but there were so many of them and I guess I have a bandwidth of how many companions I'll care about in a game and that's not many (cue Iron Bull betrayal because I forgot to complete his companion quests)
da 2's gameplay is not the best for sure, i think even inquistion might have been a bit more fun to play, but in terms of the story, look i may have just been really high, but i have never cried actual tears like that twice, like the end and then the dlc, idk but i really felt connected to my hawke more than any other character except well, my city elf from origins, origins is def the best of the three hands down, but da:kirkwall had an excellent story that i understand why people didn't like twist there, but it just felt so right for the story i played, i loved it
