As some of you may have noticed, I haven't been posting weekly discussion threads the last few weeks. They weren't getting too much traction and, more specifically, people weren't engaging with each other, which is what I was trying to encourage. I wanted to take a break and rethink how I wanted to do it to achieve those goals.

So here is a twist on the formula:

  • Tell us not only what you are playing, but also why someone else should pick it up and give it a go themselves.
  • And/or comment on someone else's reply and get a conversation going.

I'll go first:

  • I'm still playing a ton of Helldivers 2. I've put in over 100 hours so far. The last time I put over 100 hours in a game was probably Halo 3, and this is coming from someone who almost exclusively plays single player games. I think this game is unique in that its mechanics are very grounded and physical, the two different factions play very differently, the encouragement to play cooperatively versus competitively is a breath of fresh air, and the monetization in the game is very fair. I love the idea of playing on a giant galactic chess board with hundreds of thousands of other players, evolving the story as we go as a community. It really does feel like a community. At $40 for me, it is such a no-brainer to pick this game up for some awesome times.

Guacamelee 2. Bought it on a whim and enjoyed the heck out of it. Now working on hard mode to platinum it. Get it if you like metroidvanias and quirky humor.

How hard is it and what difficulties does it have? I love metroidvanias but never beat Hollow Knight due to the difficulty.

I think the main game itself isn't too hard. But getting all the chests and platinuming it took a while on some stages.
