I've read for years that Prey (2017) was a game you do no research on and just go in blind. My goodness I'm glad I did. Love the game so far at about 2 hours in

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.

I wasn't super keen on the mimics at the start, but the game just kept getting better and better.
I've started Mooncrash but it's on hiatus at the moment, until I find more time or tick another couple of games off the list.
Replaying Hellblade. I absolutely loved it on my first play-through a couple of years back, and I'm excited to go through it again.
The sound design on that game is amazing.
I'm so bad at games, I got stuck at one of the earlier levels in this before abandoning it lol but it is such a beautiful game, I'm definitely going to try it out again sometime when I get better!
FF6. Not playing the pixel remaster, but the "Ted Woosley Uncensored" patch with bug fixes. I've tried many times to play this, and I'm now the furthest I've ever been through it! Have also started Ratchet and Clank Rift Apart on PS+, and I really should be playing that before it inevitably gets removed, but I'm sticking with FF6.
Hollow Knight - started last week and got through initial frustration, now I'm enjoying it and expect to love it by the end!
It's an amazing game, you end up feeling quite immersed. I love it.
Personally, I'm not a big fan of metroidvanias, but HK is the best metroidvania I've ever seen
This weekend I managed to get in some time with Boltgun and Signals. Apparently I was in need of chunky pixels.
Botgun - Warhammer 40,000 boomer-shooter nonsense. Signals - Dead space but Silent Hill via the inventory management from RE (6 slots are enough for anyone, right?)
I just finished signalis today. What do you think about games with abstract/obscure style of narrative? Where you have to speculate a lot, fill the gaps yourself and maybe, ultimately, getting out without any clear picture, about wtf happened there at all lol?
It's one of those types of games. I personally tend to like them. Pathologic, for example, is one of most special gaming experiences for me. But after finishing Signalis, I felt mostly frustrated with how incoplete the story was - I haven't even managed to feel any connection with the protagonist and her goal.
Anyway, yeah, it's a great game, that will definitely live in my head for some days, but it's a shame the story didn't click for me.
Yeh, I don't know how far in I am, probably not very, I just entered the mines. I suspect much of the plot is passing me by. Though understanding German is probably a help.
The plot not making much sense is very Silent Hill. You basically needed to get a secret ending to have any idea at all what was going on in SH1. Got the same vibe here.
But I'm happy soaking up the atmosphere and looking at the freaky shit.
I'm not the most patient gamer, and usually I would skip story/lore related notes in games, and even main story cutscenes. Here I was kinda invested.
I looked through the wiki for a couple of hours, and I got the impression, that even the connections between the main story bits are just fans' speculations. But anyway, I think, it would be a good idea to recollect the facts on your own, read about the references and build your own picture first before checking online - I feel like I kinda spoiled it for myself a bit by rushing to the wiki.
Signalis is a masterpiece that will not get out of my brain. And I'm not even big into survival horror.
Hades. I'm not a fan of rogue-like games, but this one is awesome! I bought it second time on a different platform and trying to beat it on 100% again. I think for me one of the most appealing things of that game isdesign. Like, it's done amazingly well, "with love and care" one would say
For me it is Hades as well. Impulse purchase and I like so far. I'm progressing very slowly though. Still hesitant to active Godmode.
Hades is so cool, what's the highest heat you've played?
Spiritfarer - it took me years to get around to playing it. It's quite lovely!
Lovely is definitely the right word. Been meaning to go back, there was a character added since I played last.
I've been playing Shapez that I picked up for $3 the other week. It's like a chill factorio, so it scratches that itch for me. Apparently they're working on a sequel, so maybe I'll play that next decade when it's on sale.
Megaglest! Fantastic game! :)
I might start Crysis 1
That is mighty patient. 👍
Dead Space for the first time (2008, not the remake)
Played this most of the way though recently. It's the only game I've ever played though that gives me motion sickness.
I've been back into Mario Kart since finally getting the extra DLC tracks. Just started Dishonored 2 and Mass Effect 2, though I've been a bit anxious lately, so I'm finding TOTK to be good therapy ☺️
Kingdom Come: Deliverance. I had it on PC before but never finished it so I got in on the XBOX sale as I find it more comfortable to play on the sofa.
It's pretty good so far although the save system is irritating.
I hope we get a sequel announced soon.
That Persona 3 Reload trailer has got me thinking about Atlus games again, so I'm gonna finally check out Catherine.
It really seems like the right level of weird so far.
WAIT PERSONA 3 RELOAD TRAILER? WHAT??
Please do not be messing with me right now...
FYI, it's a remake of base P3, so no FES or Portable content. Knowing Atlus, that will come in P3RR a year later and be exclusive to iOS.
Wow, just saw the trailer, it looks good! My boy Makoto's 3D model finally looking as good as the official art makes him. Is there a SMT/Persona community on Lemmy yet?
Knowing Atlus, that will come in P3RR a year later and be exclusive to iOS.
Do not put that out into the world, you know that'll actually happen T_T
I don't think Lemmy's big enough for niche communities like a SMT specific one.
