What have you been playing this week? Do you think others might like it?
Picked up Deep Rock Galactic based on recommendations in another thread, not very good at it yet but it’s a lot of fun!
Battlebit remastered. Definitely got curious from their ads, but it is a battlefield experience like no other. Puts 2042 to shame. It looks silly but its challenging in all the right ways.
Mechabellum. Nothing else.
Autobattler with mechs. Very lively atm and you get a game in a minute easily. Super well executed game, but it is in early access and definitely has jank when it comes to user experience.
Would 100% recommend.
Satisfactory Update 8 (Lumen makes it very pretty) and Beyond All Reason mainly!
BAR is a great game
It really is! I used to love TA back in the day but never got into the online scene. BAR is definitely my type of game, had some epic battles!
How’s the blueprint system in Satisfactory these days? Last time I played was before they were added, and I got burnt out somewhere in tier 8. I can only connect belts to splitters and smelters for so long before my eyes start to bleed
Not quite got that far yet - will let you know in a day or two! :)
A bit of ‘Death Road to Canada’ lately–basically the oregon trail but in a zombie apocalypse and everything is randomized/procedurally generated. High replay-value up there with The Binding of Isaac (not quite that good, but it’s close). Supports split screen co-op. Banger retro soundtrack. Witty. Do recommend.
Amnesia: The Bunker.
Excellent game. Minimally annoying sometimes, but it’s worth it. I play it differently than other games to improve the experience: I have a printed map of the bunker (with markings, coloring to mark where I was and where it’s safe and a legend), a small music stand lamp (to see the map, the room is otherwise dark) and a piece of paper to write down to-do’s and general things to remember. That makes it even more fun, while further making this game a bit more playable for cowardly-me. :D
If anyone plays this game, you need to try that out! It really feels different than “just playing” a game or this game in particular. Try to mix things up so you can have as much fun too!
I just restarted Kingdom of Amalur: Reckoning. I started it almost 10 years ago but didn’t get very far. It’s dated, but I’m really enjoying it so far!
I’ve only been able to get a few hours into TOTK due to being a “responsible” adult with no free time, but I’ll keep churning away at it half an hour here and there.
Took me over a year to finish BOTW to a reasonable degree, I imagine TOTK will keep be going for the foreseeable future.
Spider-Man Remastered on Steam. I haven’t played a Spider-Man game since the original. It was/is on sale. It’s really fun, but it does have performance problems.
Same thing as last week and the week before that. TOTK
The Elder Scrolls Online. I dig the new Arcanist class, and I also have a Nightblade that has a jackal as his pet. Both are fun.
Tears of the kingdom - little late to the party but it’s a fun game.
Killing Floor 2. If anyone is looking for a chill game to genuinely shut your brain off, it couldn’t be more perfect imo.
Devast.io, Minecraft, Battlefront 2. all great games
I’ve been playing Prey. It runs great on Steam Deck and is a lot of fun overall. That and No Man’s Sky are my games of the summer so far
