    I’ve been playing persona 5 Royal for the past 2 months, i’m finally in the last hours and loving as much as the start, can’t recommend this game more, it’s my favorite game so far

    Grim Dawn; ARPG from 2016, currently on sale for a few $ on steam. Very well rated with solid story, mechanics, and campaign focus (instead of more on seasons and grind).

      Very good ARPG with tons of depth to build making and a nice dark fantasy theme. One half of my favorite Diablo-likes, the other being the much simpler and more casual Torchlight 2.

        Especially co-op, Torchlight was fantastic. Basically all of the right QoL implementations so everything was just about having fun.

      They’re pretty good and fun. Shadow starts to get to be a bit of a slog though, especially if you play each game right after the other. It’s still pretty good though, it has the best gameplay of the trilogy (you can FINALLY sprint in that one).

    Nearly done with Trails in the Sky. Apparently it’s getting a remake in 2025, which I guess might make it more attractive to Kids These Days, but really I suspect is money and effort that could have been better spent elsewhere—the remastered version is pretty good IMO

    Hmm for patient games I’m playing now… Does Super Robot Wars V count? I feel like I’ve mentioned it in several weekly threads already. I’ll also mention NFSU2 with the underground2.net modpack, then.

    Just picked up Radiant Historia the other day and it’s been a surprise. The soundtrack especially has been 10/10 so far, no notes. I really should play more games Shimomura’s scored.

    Recently got Far Cry 5/3/New Dawn when they all went hella on sale in a bundle. I play 5 with my sister when she’s free, and have been soloing New Dawn in the meantime. Fell in love with the series all over again. Last Far Cry game I really played was Blood Dragon.

      I loved Far Cry 3. I haven’t played it in years and never finished it, but always enjoyed messing around with it and I did get a fair ways through the story. I can’t remember much of it now, but I might play it again in the near future. It’s the only Far Cry game I’ve tried

        I highly recommend Blood Dragon if you enjoyed 3. It’s one giant love letter to 80s pop-culture and action movies. New Dawn has been nice because it feels like an updated Blood Dragon experience.

          I’ll have to check it out then. Thanks. I don’t know much about New Dawn but I might look into it more if I get through Blood Dragon

    I got the Tomb Raider Legend trilogy for less than $3 cause I just finished playing the reboot trilogy after spending $10 for all three of those and their DLCs.

    I started with Anniversary, but went back and started Legend because the order is apparently Legend, Anniversary, then Underworld. I’m kinda into it so far. I get why these adventure/mercenary type games are so popular and people kept making them with Uncharted and such.

    It really makes me want to play the new Indiana Jones game that just came out. It looks great and I’ve been hearing nothing but good things.

    Stalker 2… but this being patientgamers, and I’m always playing a classic game.

    Burnout Revenge. I’m about halfway in.

    Yeah, it’s the best racing game ever made. There is no other sense felt while playing it other than pure joy, bewilderment and holy shit.

      What do you play Burnout Revenge on? I own it for the OG Xbox but never played it, I might boot it up in the near future. That sounds up my alley
