AC Valhalla. I've recently finished odyssey and I wanted to play another "turn off the brain checklist open world game"

It's very rough around the edges (bugs, clipping, clunky movement) and it got me frustrated time and time again, but the thing I'm disliking the most are the frequent and mandatory raids. If I wanted a full fledged action game I'd be playing wukong or some shit.

Enabling insta-kill assassination from the accessibility options is what's been saving the game for me.

I'm also considering about lowering the difficulty. The second hardest one is making the enemies unreasonably tanky, which does not bode well with the shittiest healing system I have ever seen in a videogame.

Brotato...so much Brotato...

Just got Dome Keeper a little while ago, hopefully that helps me break the cycle...

Just got into Metaphor ReFantazio! Just reached the first major dungeon and so far I am very impressed. Quite a lot of great QOL stuff over the Persona series, and it has a very well written story with a very unique vibe so far.

I personally think I still prefer the vibe of Persona over Metaphor, but this is seriously a really cool game. I highly recommend you try out the Prologue demo even if you've never played Persona before or don't care for JRPGs, because this is something truly different and I think there's still a chance you might like it. The demo is super meaty too since it's literally just the first four hours or so of the game.

I've also been playing with my buds WEBFISHING which is basically an Animal Crossing esc chill fishing game with lots of neat stuff to do. It's really fun to play just to hang out with your friends and chat.

If you want something more intense as well, STRAFTAT just released yesterday and it's fun as hell. It's basically a Free to Play (Not P2W) 1v1 arena shooter that's really hectic. It's got a really strange aesthetic that I really like and it's quite fun for a free little game. And if you end up liking it, you can throw the devs a bone and buy a $5 DLC that adds more maps, weapons, and cosmetics. They even made it so only the host has to buy the DLC and anyone who connects gets to play on those maps with those weapons for free. Really neat little game and really fun with a buddy.

Someone on here posted a glowing review of Fields of Mistria. I downloaded the game and I can't stop playing it!

It's that perfect cozy farm Sim game, mimicking the best parts of Stardew Valley and minimizing the worst parts. I cannot wait for the full release, and I'm so glad I happened upon that review!

Europa Universalis 4

For some reason I've been trying to get a specific achievement for weeks

[–] itsJoelle@lemmy.world 3 points 6 hours ago

Warhammer 40K

It’s really deep, the community is pretty cool, we all 3d print and despise the company that makes the game. Sounds wonderful to me.

[–] darkstar@sh.itjust.works 3 points 7 hours ago

Just started playing Rainworld, good lord is it amazing

[–] TheRealKuni@lemmy.world 4 points 9 hours ago

Diablo 4 and Hi-Fi Rush

Hi-Fi Rush is amazing. Such a fun title, great story, great concept, great art style, great music.

Diablo 4’s new expansion is fun, I’m really enjoying the extremely broken, unbalanced new class. The game is a great companion to audiobooks or podcasts.

[–] UltraGiGaGigantic@lemmy.ml 2 points 9 hours ago

Warhammer space marine 2.

It's short, beautiful, and sweet. Kind of like a sexy dwarf.

Definitely worth a play, but I'd wait for this to be $20 if I were to redo things.

Finally got around to playing Disco Elysium. What a game!

[–] JakJak98@lemmy.world 2 points 1 hour ago

I walked the land telling whores and liars of the End to come. There are 9,855 days remaining.

Metaphor ReFantazio. I'm not a big Persona fan, but this game rules.

[–] stoned_ape@lemmy.world 3 points 13 hours ago

Guild Wars 2

Maybe like 5-10 mins of Grim Dawn here and there

In the tabletop space, my group is recording season 3 of our podcast and this season we are playing Mausritter, and it's a blast

[–] DumbAceDragon@sh.itjust.works 2 points 12 hours ago

Amber Isle. It's like a dinosaur-themed animal crossing except you're tom nook. It's a bit buggy, but it's really cute and exactly my kinda thing lol.

[–] nautilus@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 13 hours ago

The Legend of Zelda: Phantom Hourglass, such a solid title. That and I’ve come back to Battlefield 1942 after only playing the beta, actually not too terrible!

[–] VitabytesDev@feddit.nl 4 points 15 hours ago* (last edited 15 hours ago) (1 children)

I just bought Portal and Portal 2 and finished them both. Very good games, with great puzzles and story.

I am planning to buy more from Valve in the future.

P.S: This was a triumph

[–] bokherif@lemmy.world 1 points 13 hours ago

Try portal community maps.

[–] Moah@lemmy.blahaj.zone 2 points 14 hours ago

I'm replaying Warhammer 40k: Rogue Trader. Doing a Dogmatic run with the DLC. I think that now all the issues have been ironed out, this game is truly Owlcat's Magnum Opus.

I'm playing minecraft and making an ever-expanding house by adding new rooms whenever I need something. Soon it will consume the mountain

[–] bpt11@sh.itjust.works 2 points 15 hours ago (1 children)

How many rooms do you currently have?

[–] Feathercrown@lemmy.world 2 points 12 hours ago* (last edited 12 hours ago)

I just started, but so far we have a smeltery + vine farm in a cave, a minecart track down to a mine, a farmhouse with crops and flowers, an apiary (automated to collect honeycomb + honey bottles!) next to that, the foundation of a collosally large clocktower that we (I'm working on this with a friend) hope to be a central structure to the whole house, and a dripstone clay farm. And a bunch of chests hanging out. I like to collect music discs from creepers so we made an auto-replay jukebox to cycle through discs while we work!

[–] chobeat@lemmy.ml 2 points 15 hours ago

Vintage Story in solo, but I gave up because it's too cumbersome to play without a team. Necesse with a team, lol. Mechabellum in solo multi AoW4 as a filler

[–] Modern_medicine_isnt@lemmy.world 2 points 15 hours ago (1 children)

Satisfactory Forbidden jungle The castles of burgundy: the card game

[–] JakJak98@lemmy.world 1 points 1 hour ago

Satisfactory grind!

Just unlocked trains and have no idea how the signaling works. It's a struggle.

[–] SchrodingersPat@lemmy.ml 2 points 15 hours ago (1 children)

Does a visual novel count? If so I'm playing the english release of Fate Stay Night and really enjoying it.

[–] Moah@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 points 14 hours ago (1 children)

Without. Eroge is not my thing.

[–] HipsterTenZero@dormi.zone 2 points 16 hours ago* (last edited 16 hours ago)

ZZZ, F-Zero X, Balatro, UESRPG3e, and SotDL.

[–] Shotgun_Alice@lemmy.world 3 points 18 hours ago

I’ve been playing a ton of stardew valley lately. I bought it for ever ago and just thought it was meh. But figured let me try it again maybe I just didn’t get into it and I was right because holy heck I’m hooked right now having a ton of fun and loving it. It’s such a cute little game I love it.

[–] mkuznetsoff@lemmy.world 2 points 17 hours ago* (last edited 15 hours ago)

I recently played minecraft on my NixOS servet with my new friend from college. This weekend I wanna play Gothic 1 for the first time (wish me luck)

[–] Dvixen@lemmy.world 2 points 17 hours ago

ASKA, Satisfactory, and No Man's Sky. Occasionally a bit of Pax Dei thrown in in case my building scratch is itchy.

[–] DoubleChad@lemmy.ml 1 points 15 hours ago

Just finished Pikmin 4. I found it disappointing. I miss 1 and 2 which I see as complementary masterpieces.

[–] Zicoxy3@lemmy.ml 2 points 17 hours ago

Forza Horizon 4, The Division, Sims 4, Football Manager 24.... Always on PC

Just started red dead 2

[–] merthyr1831@lemmy.ml 1 points 15 hours ago (1 children)

Deadlock! At least until I inevitably remind myself that multiplayer games are all bullshit and go back to enjoying SP games again.

[–] BruceTwarzen@lemm.ee 1 points 15 hours ago

Deadlock is just really good man. I went from: i don't play mobas and multiplayer games are bullshit to: how did i play 120 hours of a early alpha build?

[–] aeischeid@lemmy.ml 1 points 16 hours ago

Picked up on Wizard of Legend again recently. Curious about 2, but I tend to avoid games in prerelease

[–] sytone@lemmy.world 18 points 1 day ago (4 children)

Just reinstalled Satisfactory. Time to finish it for once.
