Another week another thread!
What have you all been playing this week? Anything you’re particularly looking forward to in the short term?
From video gaming to card games and stuff in between, if it’s gaming you can probably discuss it here!

Viewfinder comes out tomorrow, I’m looking forward to that. I played the demo on steam and confirmed that it is something I’ll almost certainly enjoy.
Thanks for the heads up, will be a fun play.
Primarily playing Guild Wars 2 and getting prepared for the new expansion around the end of August! I’m also super stoked for Baldurs Gate 3 and going to jump in with some friends!

I finally got around to playing the Portal series. I played 2 first (it was a free Games with Gold pick) and thought it was great, so about 20 or so puzzles through the first Portal now. I’m kind of surprised the series ended with one sequel.
There would probably be 4 sequels by now if it was by any other company but Valve. Sadly, their priority has been Steam for too many years now. Their game development side goes at a glacial pace and all the developers that originally made their critically acclaimed games have left or are leaving.
I think they are doing well. Quit while it’s good.
I played Super Mario Galaxy, and was having difficulties with motion control and aiming the stomp (even after doing the spinning stomp move), then I reached a place with underwater level, I bailed out. Personally for me, it’s probably better suited for short bursts of gameplay than longer period of streaming the game.
Right now I am replaying Zero Time Dilemma. I am still enjoying it.
Surprised nobody else has said Tears of the Kingdom yet. I’m like 110 hours in and still haven’t beaten the main story. There’s just so much to do!
I’m still there as well, so much to complete still. I want to finish it so I can go back and finish Hogwarts legacy so that I can go back to my regular scheduled program of FFXIV.
I’m still playing it, too.
Also I’m playing Tomb Raider AnnIversary on the PSP.
Borrowed Metroid Dread at the library. I love the game, but I’m having a real tough time. It’s a little too hard for me, but I’m still hoping to finish it.
Warhammer 40k Boltgun
I’m working through some of the older Ace Combat games after playing Ace Combat 7 and really enjoying it. Finished Ace Combat 4, and I’m moving on to 5 next and then zero after that.
Doing another run in Satisfactory. I’m building a mega base building vertically and horizontally. I’m around 30 hours in in this run, made coal after about 6 hours and I’m still working on oil, but getting there. I’ve gotten to the last tier before, stayed a while, but never pushed long enough to obtain the employee of the planet cup or to buy everything in the awesome shop.
I’m currently playing though The Messenger, it makes me feel dumb sometimes because some of the backgrounds look like foregrounds
Horizon: Zero Dawn, almost non-stop. The mechanics can be a bit finicky sometimes, but the story and world building keep me coming back.
There are a lot of little things that I really don’t like about it and these almost certainly exist because it was originally exclusive to Playstation. I sometimes find my self a bit irked because there was so much more they could’ve done to make it a classic. Instead, it’s just good enough.
I’ve been playing Diablo 4 this week; I can’t even begin to tell you how many gleeful hours I put into Diablo 2 back in the day, but this one is feeling more like a chore than fun. There’s a part of me that wants to just grind out to 100 to get there but I recognize sunk-cost fallacy when I see it, so I’m at least taking a break for a while.
A friend gifted me Nancy Drew: Curse of Blackmoor Manor during the Steam sale so that’s probably on the menu for this weekend. My 12-year-old has played a couple from that series and enjoyed the puzzles so I’ll see if they want to play it with me. I also picked up the stealth puzzle game Gunpoint and am looking forward to giving that a go.
Just before this week finished the second act of Pentiment, and waiting for a bit before starting the third one. Don’t want the game to end…
Just got a handheld emulator console, been trying some Pokemon rom hacks, Rocket Edition in particular. Been loving it! I’ve sort of lost the patience to sit down and play a longer game, so these handheld games are perfect for sitting down and playing for a bit while I watch a YouTube video. This is also the first time I’ve played Pokemon Pinball and it’s fantastic! I’m kinda terrible though!
Also my coworkers started a minecraft server and it’s been fun going back after years away from minecraft.
