A gaming community 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.

I’m going to try getting back into RDR2, and start on Undertale and Prey. Maybe Shadowrun: Hong Kong and Fallout 4?

Still on poe2 for now. Over 250 hours in by now and don't feel like stopping any time soon. I took time off from work when it launched and I'm getting back tomorrow so will have to learn how to balance the two now.

I spent a mostly uneventful morning sailing the high seas in Sea of Thieves. It was nice.

I've got Pentiment and Persona 5 ready to go. I'll probably start Pentiment first since it's undoubtedly shorter.
Balatro looks really tempting, too, but I'd want that for my laptop or phone (?) and not my gaming PC.

The binding of Isaac.

There's a bug update I've heard and I want to go back to see how it goes.

I just started the thaumaturge and it's freaking awesome. Looking forward to Stalker 2 later this year after they patched it a bit more

I finally decided to go further than the elevator in MGS, so probably that, and hopefully follow up with the whole franchise (i only played mgs5 for about 5 hours).

I also started playing Black Book, interesting deck building game !

Either Return of the Obra Dinn or Tyranny. Tyranny has been in my steam backlog for a little bit, but it feels like something I need to be ready to get mentally invested in

[–] [email protected] 5 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Return of the Obra Dinn is similar in that you may even want to have a notebook with you, but the experience is so worth it

[–] [email protected] 3 points 3 months ago (2 children)

I'm really looking forward to it. It seems to be consistently recommended as the thing that offers the most similar experience to Outer Wilds, which I absolutely adore. A good puzzle that reveals a story is always such a satisfying way to spend a bit of brain power

It's emotional too. At least it was for me.

I'm currently playing Fire Emblem: three houses, restarted it last month and intend to finish it this year. Iight finish echoes of wisdom first, since it's shorter.

Making a second attempt to get into Mass Effect for the first time, at least until Hades 2 gets out of early access or MH Wilds comes out

Played some Doom 2 (halfway through Deck the Underhalls) today, gonna play Skyrim now (started new playthrough few weeks ago). After finishing Underhalls I'm gonna proceed to play even more Doom, and after finishing Skyrim I definitely wanna play more Morrowind, some big things released recently [1] [2].

I’m currently playing echoes of wisdom and elder scrolls: oblivion.

Although I drunkenly played GTA4 while listening to early 2000s crunk rap in memory of it being 25 years since 2000

I've just got sifu from egs and will probably get either dreadhunter or windblown somewhere down the line. Along with regular runs on Dead Cells that I'm deeply addicted to.

Everspace once I'm back from my holidays abroad.

Spiritfall. Got it during the steam sale and I'm interested but haven't played yet. Looks like a lot of fun.

On one hand, I really want to continue of Ghost of Tsushima.

On the other hand, I have Genshin Impact installed that Ive been meaning to try (reddit and my younger sister tell me its easily possible to do all but the highest level stuff without spending any money,/gambling and even said content is still doable with skill).

Though in the end, Ill probably default to Stardew Valley 😂

[–] [email protected] 5 points 3 months ago (3 children)

Give Genshin a try, but be warned in advance that they have an "energy" system that determines how much actual gameplay you'll get to enjoy. It refreshes every 12 hours (without paid boosters), but iirc, they give you some freebie energy boosts in the beginning to get you hooked.

As pretty as the game is, the hours of grind needed to make progress on leveling your characters and gear, and the relative lack of content when your energy gauge is refreshing, made me leave (someone will point out quests, but once those are done, they're done, and you'll still need to grind on top of that).

But there's people who still love it. Maybe you will, too.

Take this as lemmy also joining reddit and your sister in saying that all of genshin's exploration and quests are super casual and free to play characters can easily do them.

The only thing hard to do while f2p are two endgame dungeons that change monthly. But these two endgame dungeons have nothing to do with any main or side quests and you can completely ignore them if you want.

I've just recently started playing through Wasteland 3. Been trying to start up Civ VI, but it appears as though Steam has broken it on my Mac, so I will need an alternative alternative. Maybe something from my Epic or GOG library, so my kids don't leave me out of luck when they want to use the Steam library, too.

[–] [email protected] 12 points 3 months ago

No Man’s Sky for sure will be one I play a lot. I also need an Arceus, so I am going to have to get Pokémon Brilliant Diamond, or Shining Pearl.
