Discussion What are you currently playing? (Week 36 of 2024)

[Cacher]

New week, new thread! What are you playing?

I am currently taking a short break from my PC due to focusing on some matters irl, so I was only playing Grindstone on the Deck during the last few days. Going to return next week. Have fun discussing.

Slow week. Still in chapter 3 of Bravely Default II.

Creatures of Ava on gamepass

 

[texhnolyze]

I've been playing Drakensang since last week. As a CRPG fan, I actually never got around to playing this until now. Old but gold.

Primarily Just Cause 2.
I could go and do the last agency mission already, but I think I'm going to clear all the faction stuff before that. And then look at the remaining achievements and such and see if I feel like I'm close enough to bang it all out.

 

[Stevey]

Diablo 4 and a bit of 9 Bit Armies

 

[PhaZZe]

Will try to continue with Fallout 4 VR, or Superhot VR

I just finished Signalis after playing it for ~9 hours, mostly this weekend.
What an experience. The only part I'm not a huge fan of is the dedication to replicate some of the more annoying (to me) game mechanics of PS1/2-style survival horror, but everything else was absolutely fantastic.
It's mesmerizing, thought-provoking, presented with unwavering and uncompromising style, and, above all, heart-wrenching.

I just finished Yellow Taxi Goes Vroom and it was a good platformer, who could have guessed that a platformer that you play as a car could be this fun?

I may get back to Tavern Talk now but I need to be in the right mood

Genshin 5.0 dropped and is unsurprisingly very good again, but outside of that I also sat down and finished the True Ending route in Digimon Survive as well as the other endings I was missing - not sure it was worth it though, replaying that game is a boring slog for the most part unfortunately. But there are unique digivolutions behind each route that carry over to the next playthrough, so they got me.
Also just bought the Kingdom Hearts collection, so I will be busy with that for a looong time, lol.

Black Myth Wukong: Just got rolling with this last night, and so far it’s ok. I’m super early though as I was playing with settings last night. Hope it doesn’t kick my ass too badly.

I started playing Process of Elimination developed by NIS. It's a console exclusive so I am playing it on PS4. Japanese copy. Completed the first chapter and I am intrigued! A very interesting take on the murder mystery genre as NIS added their SRPG favour into it, They also made a neat video to introduce the mechanics so check it out if you are interested.

Tried Space Truckers after Creatures of Ava. Nope, far to fiddly to dock with anything. In the bin.

 

[MegaApple]

Playing through Homefront The Revolution.

Game is clearly mixed (weird design choices, janky gunplay, weak narrative and writing) but it was made with some love. Some of the best rain from PS4/XB1 generation.

 

[Parsnip]

Just Cause 2 is done, looked at the achievements and turns out there's one for playing through the game on hard, so a replay would be required for them all and I don't think that's going to happen.

What a great dumb game though.

Continuing my Okami HD playthrough. Game is surprisingly long. 30 plus hours in so far. Still enjoying it though.

Tried Space Marine 2, runs good enough. I don't like the lack of hit feedback. Melee and executable doesn't feel satisfying enough. Will wait for a sale. Makes me wanna continue my Boltgun playthrough at least.

Also tried some cheap games that I bought like:

• Astalon. Cool 8-bit metroidvania with rogulite elements and 3 characters swap on save point. I dig it.
• Revita. Weird twin-stick roguelite platformer. With a pretty high adjustment cost up front because of the control scheme. LB to jump and LT to dodge. Makes sense for a twin stick shotter I guess, but still.
• My Friendly Neighborhood. First person RE1 like with evil Sesame Street puppets as the enemies. Will probably finish this one. Looks like a short game and it's interesting enough to play.

Finished off the final boss of Little Town Hero. The fight spans over 2 hours and was really hard.
