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.
Gates of Hell: Ostfront
I'm still getting beat by the ai in skirmish. Normal is too easy and the next difficulty is too hard but it's a lot of fun.
Apart from that I spent time fixing my Miyoo Flip handheld. The hinge had broken but now it works better then before. Even this v2 version is poorly designed but superglue and a little bodge sorted it.
Sekiro...I think I'm entering late game and I'm elated. It's such an elegant game, from the aesthetics to the combat. What an experience it's been.
I'll share a lil meme I drew the other day. :P hope you guys enjoy
Dishonored.
I'm having a lot of fun sneaking around.
In act2 of baldurs gate 3. Cleared out the starting area to the east and the main hub safe town and now going to the cursed town area.

I tried Beyond Good & Evil, but ended up dropping it. Gameplay wasn't strong enough to hold up the story in this day and age. It be minded me of better games like Jak 3 and Stranger's Wrath.
But now I'm playing Crosscode and this game rocks! Lots of good customization, interesting combat, tonnes of secrets and platforming.
Also wanting to get back into Guilty Gear Strive ahead of the big update!
I just got VR sailing wich is really interesting to learn a bit about how to use the wind at what angle of the sail to always move forward as fast as possible and the races are pretty fun so far. I put the waves setting to the max and my boat jumps and almost flips a lot XD
I also purchased crossfire sierra squad and the couple missions i played so far where not that interesting since i'm still in the tutorial but it feels like a flatscreen game that got turned into a VR game so some things are a bit janky. I've spent most of my time playing in the shooting range testing all the weapons. That was fun. The clay dummies are really fun to explode in dust and chunks.
I have been hit by open world fatigue in my Rise of the Ronin playthrough and so I needed an intermission. INMOST is on 70% sale and has been on my radar for a bit after being recommended to play it some time ago, so I finally got around to it. It's only a 5-6h game so it was perfect to sneak in, played through it in two sittings over two days.
I really loved this game. Puzzle platformers are not my genre of choice but this one felt perfectly fine for me. Not really any precision platforming to speak of and the puzzles were all intuitive enough that it never felt frustrating. Overall the gameplay felt smooth and tight and the generous save states on death further minimized frustration.
This game is not really about the gameplay though as much as it is a work of art. The pixel graphics are stunning, the art direction is perfect and the music is absolutely breathtaking. On top of that the writing is also quite good. The ending is a little on-the-nose for me for what is otherwise a nicely allegorical game, but even so it doesn't bring my ratings down. There are even some quite funny moments here and there, despite the otherwise heavy themes.
Recommended for anyone that likes artsy indie games, especially if you enjoy darker themes and depressing vibes.
Wishlisted this when I saw the announcement trailer so I had to check out the demo when it dropped last week. It was... okay. It was much worse than it looked from the trailer and worse than I had hoped in general. It's a shame because the concept is great and has tons of potential. Fishing and horror is a great combination that fits together perfectly. Unfortunately the fishing mechanics are too simple to be really engaging and the horror is pretty bland. It also goes too hard and fast into shock value and jump scares and whatnot instead of doing what a horror fishing game in an isolated setting should do: slowly build suspense and unsettling atmosphere and work with creepy environmental storytelling.
I'll still keep it wishlist to keep track of it as I like fishing games but I am much less hopeful now than when I first saw the trailer.
Still looking for that perfect fishing game. My favourite so, far has been the fishing mini game in Okami.
Final Fantasy XV is the greatest fishing minigame for me personally. Haven't played Okami though.
Race Driver: GRID
My racing career continues. I'm focusing on this rather than Stunt GP since I played that game quite a lot a year or two ago so there's not much new to experience there. I'd rather go all in on the title I didn't spend much time with for now.
I finally decided against skipping 24 Hour Le Mans (took until I bought my own car until I had some fun with it) and played through two so far. Still not my favourite event but it's not bad. What I did give me more enjoyment however were the open-wheel races - grip on those cars makes it super fun to just zip around the track. I might have to look into some F1 games in the future.
One thing that stands out is something I already mentioned last week - limited content. I don't need hundreds of tracks but when you start repeating them across regions within the first 18 races (each region consists of 3 tiers made of 6 events) then something is not right. I still like the game and have a great time but it won't be replacing Colin McRae Rally 04 as my mainstay racing title.
Shadowrun: Dragonfall
I took a few month break after finishing this and Returns back to back and I'm starting to feel ready to go back in. I tried playing custom modules: Antumbra Saga and SNES Reboot.
The first one started pretty alright, a simple task to infiltrate an office and place a box in specific location. The same mission then turned into a dungeon crawl of a magical cave located under said office, in the middle of a city and fighting through rooms of ghouls and spirits. I was hoping for a slow start with more choices about your approach but it didn't deliver. I'll be skipping this one for now unfortunately.
SNES Reboot... I'd say it was a similar story, except it doesn't even pretend to focus on non-combat gameplay. You'll get "random" encounters on the very first map (technically second, since you start in a building) you travel through and based on the info text at the start of this campaign, fighting is pretty much the main thing in this game.
Not that I expected different considering this is just a remake of the ancient SNES title but I hoped for a little more diversity (dunno, perhaps there's some later).
So yeah, my return to Dragonfall was a bust. I'll probably move on to Hong-Kong next since it's the only one I haven't played yet. I just wish there was more to look forward to (especially in terms of custom modules). Oh well, not every game can be Skyrim.
Final stretch of Final Fantasy XII. Going for the Sky Pirate's Den in the original NTSC release, and I'm dreading Yiazmat.
I play house flipper 2 nightly, but this week I played a "story game" Indika. It was short and really cool. I loved the music most, but loved everything.
I've been hooked on Farm RPG for like 3 months
please tell me which one
