    Replaying Hellblade. I absolutely loved it on my first play-through a couple of years back, and I’m excited to go through it again.

    I’ve read for years that Prey (2017) was a game you do no research on and just go in blind. My goodness I’m glad I did. Love the game so far at about 2 hours in

      I wasn’t super keen on the mimics at the start, but the game just kept getting better and better.

      I’ve started Mooncrash but it’s on hiatus at the moment, until I find more time or tick another couple of games off the list.

    Hollow Knight - started last week and got through initial frustration, now I’m enjoying it and expect to love it by the end!

      It’s an amazing game, you end up feeling quite immersed. I love it.

        Personally, I’m not a big fan of metroidvanias, but HK is the best metroidvania I’ve ever seen

    Hades. I’m not a fan of rogue-like games, but this one is awesome! I bought it second time on a different platform and trying to beat it on 100% again. I think for me one of the most appealing things of that game isdesign. Like, it’s done amazingly well, “with love and care” one would say

      For me it is Hades as well. Impulse purchase and I like so far. I’m progressing very slowly though. Still hesitant to active Godmode.

        @MrPozor @uglo don’t hesitate if you feel like you want to progress the story. The boost is pretty transparent, I believe it’s like -10% damage on each subsequent run where you die. If you quit the game you start again with without any buff.

        16 so far, just to get the Skelly’s achievement. On my second playthrough I decided that I want to get that game to 100% both achievement-wise and content-wise, so I’m working on bonds with all characters at that moment

    FF6. Not playing the pixel remaster, but the “Ted Woosley Uncensored” patch with bug fixes. I’ve tried many times to play this, and I’m now the furthest I’ve ever been through it! Have also started Ratched and Clank Rift Apart on PS+, and I really should be playing that before it inevitably gets removed, but I’m sticking with FF6.

    I’ve been playing Shapez that I picked up for $3 the other week. It’s like a chill factorio, so it scratches that itch for me. Apparently they’re working on a sequel, so maybe I’ll play that next decade when it’s on sale.

      Lovely is definitely the right word. Been meaning to go back, there was a character added since I played last.

    This weekend I managed to get in some time with Boltgun and Signals. Apparently I was in need of chunky pixels.

    Botgun - Warhammer 40,000 boomer-shooter nonsense.

    Signals - Dead space but Silent Hill via the inventory management from RE (6 slots are enough for anyone, right?)

      I just finished signalis today. What do you think about games with abstract/obscure style of narrative? Where you have to speculate a lot, fill the gaps yourself and maybe, ultimately, getting out without any clear picture, about wtf happened there at all lol?

      It’s one of those types of games. I personally tend to like them. Pathologic, for example, is one of most special gaming experiences for me. But after finishing Signalis, I felt mostly frustrated with how incoplete the story was - I haven’t even managed to feel any connection with the protagonist and her goal.

      Anyway, yeah, it’s a great game, that will definitely live in my head for some days, but it’s a shame the story didn’t click for me.

        Yeh, I don’t know how far in I am, probably not very, I just entered the mines. I suspect much of the plot is passing me by. Though understanding German is probably a help.

        The plot not making much sense is very Silent Hill. You basically needed to get a secret ending to have any idea at all what was going on in SH1. Got the same vibe here.

        But I’m happy soaking up the atmosphere and looking at the freaky shit.

          I’m not the most patient gamer, and usually I would skip story/lore related notes in games, and even main story cutscenes. Here I was kinda invested.

          I looked through the wiki for a couple of hours, and I got the impression, that even the connections between the main story bits are just fans’ speculations. But anyway, I think, it would be a good idea to recollect the facts on your own, read about the references and build your own picture first before checking online - I feel like I kinda spoiled it for myself a bit by rushing to the wiki.

      Signalis is a masterpiece that will not get out of my brain. And I’m not even big into survival horror.

    That Persona 3 Reload trailer has got me thinking about Atlus games again, so I’m gonna finally check out Catherine.

    It really seems like the right level of weird so far.

        FYI, it’s a remake of base P3, so no FES or Portable content. Knowing Atlus, that will come in P3RR a year later and be exclusive to iOS.

          Wow, just saw the trailer, it looks good! My boy Makoto’s 3D model finally looking as good as the official art makes him. Is there a SMT/Persona community on Lemmy yet?

          Knowing Atlus, that will come in P3RR a year later and be exclusive to iOS.

          Do not put that out into the world, you know that’ll actually happen T_T

    I’ve been back into Mario Kart since finally getting the extra DLC tracks. Just started Dishonored 2 and Mass Effect 2, though I’ve been a bit anxious lately, so I’m finding TOTK to be good therapy ☺️

    Been playing through Cult of the Lamb mostly. It’s pretty good aside from some repetitiveness involving your cult management and dungeons, but it’s still got a nice amount of variety to it. Quests are super easy to just ignore if you don’t feeling like completing them too. Looking forward to finishing it soon.

      Played this most of the way though recently. It’s the only game I’ve ever played though that gives me motion sickness.

    Monster Sanctuary (not as good as I wanted it to be. Regular Fights take a long time to go through if you don’t minmax as if you were endgaming and the plot and characters is kinda meh)

    Against the Storm (pretty cool)

    And Zelda Toks of the Tiks.

      On Monster Sanctuary:

      Depending on where you are in the story/general progression, it really does take a long time for even basic fights. If you don’t appreciate this kind of “challenge” I urge you to explore the skill trees of your different monsters. With a bit of experimentation it’s easily possible to make some whacky and downright op team constellations, if that suits your playstyle more. :)

      Hope you’re having fun with the game, (at least in my opinion) it’s something special!
