Souldiers was on sale, and I have been wanting to play the game for a really long time. It got a lot of flack on it’s release, because of bugs and performance issues, as well as complaints about difficulty, and class viability.
Well, IDK if the devs had to fix a lot of it or what, but it is in great shape now, and I kinda regret not playing it earlier. This game is fantastic! Great action RPG mechanics, combined with really great encounter design. All set in beautiful pixel art. I think it is kind of a mistake for it to throw you in a hard dungeon right away, and that is turning a lot of people off. But the design of all the encounters had me get through it.
I really like this game, and think the reception it got right off the bat is super unfortunate. I hope the developers aren’t discouraged from making something else like this again, and can instead file off the rough edges that made it unpalatable to a large audience. I feel like the quality of the graphics really drew a lot of people in that weren’t down for what Souldiers was going for. But it is quickly becoming my favorite metroidvania-ish action platformer RPG.
Diablo 4. Mate of mine talked me and another friend to play it and, yeah, he was right: love it. Not the kind of game I’d play alone but it’s brilliant as a laid-back social game (even if I’m getting a bit obsessed, build wise).
I’ve just picked up Brotato yesterday, it’s a roguelike bullet hell where you build up your character and try to survive 20 waves using loads of different weapons and items. The great thing is you control your character with just one analog stick, but it’s a lot harder than it sounds. Reminds me a lot of old flash games I used to play as a kid. I’ve only played for a few hours so far and managed to win one run.
Personally, I love the experience of figuring out a gameand working out optimal strategies, an itch which Slay the Spire has been scratching for a long time for me. I can already tell I’m going to invest a lot of time into this game, I was hooked right from the beginning. Loving the sound of SMG bullets decimating entire hordes of enemies. Well worth picking up on steam, plays really well on the steam deck. The game is only £4 at full price, and it’s 20% off right now.
Citizen Sleeper (discounted on GOG rn!) is really good. The timed elements are not as stressful as I thought they might be and the overall story is interesting enough to keep me playing. It does feel a bit too easy in the later stages, and I’m afraid I might have made a decision that is gonna end the game for me too early, but otherwise I’m having fun with it, can definitely recommend it if you want a sci-fi story-based / resource management game.
I really dig Citizen Sleeper. Agreed the later stages get a bit easy but it’s still great. (The endings can come out of nowhere but I’m still chuffed with the one I got.)
Final Fantasy XVI, I’m 70% in, and I’m having a real good time.
The story is interesting and keeps you going, not convoluted or opaque like in 13 or 15.
The sidequests are very boring at first, and still mostly fetch quests / fight certain enemies, but they eventually reward you with background story of the side characters, and some of them are pretty good.
The combat keeps throwing you new stuff with a good pace.
The eikon fights are what we can get as close to Asura’s Wrath sequel. Every big fights are just hype
Also the music is top notch.
This game is gonna end up as one of my top 3 favorite mainline FF games.

Recently started playing Project Zomboid. It’s a slow burn, but very satisfying when you make any kind of progress.

reliving my childhood on call of duty. picture an old man yelling at a screen and you get the idea.
looking for something new though. resource management, 4x maybe, but nothing deep.
Street Fighter 6 when solo, and DMZ with the boys

Age of wonders 4! It’s been awhile since I got so engaged with a 4x, and this one’s got a pretty decent combat system to boot (turn based tactical).
Factorio. Way too much Factorio.
I feel you.
It is with very good reason called Cracktorio

Finally getting a chance to play through Jedi Survivor.
I’m playing Overboard, it’s basically a “How to get away with murder” game. It’s very fun !
