I finally got a steam deck and I can’t decide what to play on it. Most recently I dusted off Hand of Fate 2 and I’m having fun with that all over again.
When I got my Steam Deck a few months ago, I spent the first week or so just modding Skyrim so I could play it on yet another device. Then I played it a ton until I finally took a break for some other games.
Picked up The Messenger for another run. Since I got 100% achievements last time I thought it would be a breeze this time. Nope. 214 deaths so far.
Just picked it up on Switch based off the strength of Sea of Stars!
I’ve decided to finish the ancient Payday The Heist on PC and get all the achievements with a friend and it‘s been really intense and fun so far, of course the online play is largely dead lol
Decided to give Dredge a shot. It seemed like a decent enough game to play while listening to podcasts. It makes me uneasy and I’m barely paying attention to the podcasts 😅
It’s got a killer atmosphere, I’ll give it that!
Mario RPG remake. Actually my first time playing Mario RPG altogether, but I do really enjoy the first couple Paper Mario games, so seeing essentially where the Paper Mario series came from adds to the interest (IIRC, wasn’t the original Paper Mario known as Mario RPG 2 in Japan at least for a while?). The game feels very short, I’m only a couple hours in and already three stars in, but given it was originally a SNES game it makes sense. It’s cool to finally experience a game I was jealous of as a Genesis owner instead of SNES as a kid, even if it’s not 100% to the original, though from what I understand it’s quite a faithful remake, so still pretty close to the original experience.
As a big fan of the original, it’s almost a perfect remake. You’re getting the same experience we SNES kids did decades ago, but better.
Ghostwire: Tokyo
I can see why the triple-A kids didn’t like it. But it’s actually a pretty decent love letter to the very long history of the Japanese horror genre.
Started playing MGS:V again and slowly becoming depressed that there hasn’t come anything better in the last seven years
Re4 remake scratches some of the metal gear itch
Finally getting into Disco Elysium after a false start last year. Great game, spectacular writing, though it does require a little bit of investment.
I put about three hours into it. It’s obviously a well put together game that a lot of love went into, but it just ended up being way too much dialogue for me. Most people love the game though, hope you enjoy it!
I had the same problem on my first try! I’d been trying to do everything and talk to everyone about everything and just drowned in words.
On my second try, though, I took a different approach: what if I am this guy, just want to get the job done, and only do stuff for the purpose of trying to progress the case? That worked great for me, and the game is structured so this still takes you through much of its contents – only, now, there is a purpose to it.
So, thanks, friend! I am indeed now enjoying this game, and I hope you are enjoying whatever you are playing also.
I got stuck a few hours into it and quit trying. I really want to love this game and play it through multiple times, but it just doesn’t make sense to me and I don’t want to read any guides or spoilers. I want whatever path I take through the game to be my path, but it isn’t working for me.
I’ve been trying Dyson Sphere Project again
Mostly Slime Rancher, a bit of Wreckfest.
On mobile, Shattered Pixel Dungeon. It’s brutal. I’ve made it down five levels once or twice. I’m determined to win with the fighter before I start with another class.
The last faith. I am kind of enjoying it but there are tons of bugs and frame rate drops. Not sure if it is even fixable.
I’ve decided to get specifics trophies on Kingdom Hearts 1FM, the no new gear one and the no continue one. If I’m motivated enough, I’ll try the platinum but nothings for sure.
Just completed Cocoon, short game, excellent 9/10. Puzzles aren’t too hard but mind bending. It doesn’t get quite as tedious compared to other puzzle games once you solved it in your head and they break it down to smaller chunks.
Only had 1 difficult puzzle in the entire run near the end, because of a long section between revisiting a certain area.
Finally took the plunge and bought GTA5 again on PS5 after last playing it on PS3. Turns out I forgot a LOT of the missions, so it doesn’t feel like I’m doing the same thing again. I’m enjoying it more than I thought I would since it’s a replay.
