Started playing Half Life 1. Never played any of the Half Life games before.
As for a recommendation, Chrono Trigger and the Silent Hill games (1-3, including the remake of 2).
I played Black Mesa (HL1 remake) and loved it. I haven’t played HL2 yet though.
Enjoy HL1, it’s a great game, or at least the remake is. I’m assuming the original is good too.
Just started No man sky, first play through. I’m still not sure what I think of it. It seems too be a time guzzler. On one hand it must be entertaining because 4 hours past in the blink of an eye. On the other I don’t feel like I’ve done or seen much. Time seem to be the main currency behind most things you do .
Continued playing Metro 2033 Redux.
Dysmantle has me looking for skulls and tires to crush.
Finally playing through all the Hitman reboots in one go (They’re called 1-2-3, or now “World Of Assassination” for the whole experience, plus paid DLCs for additional missions). I played through all the original Hitman games back in the day.
While you can of course cheese your way through each mission pretty easily (NPC: “Well, he only held that weapon in his hand for less than 2 seconds, so I’ll ignore it.” or “Oh, coins on the ground! Better open that locked door to get to them so that you can follow me inside!”), it actually IS a lot of fun if you deliberately take it slow and discover all the stories that are hidden in each mission. It opens up crafty ways of getting to your targets & entertains much more than just exploiting the game engine’s weaknesses. Truly something for #patientGamers
If you combine my hours for all three since it’s all a collection now anyway, it’s my second most played game of all time, only behind Skyrim. I’m a massive fan. How far along are you?
I’ve been playing some Bomberman.
I feel like I’ve started so many games these past weeks and months but haven’t stuck with any… but I guess nothing new for me really as I never finish games anyway.
Been working my way through the achievements for State of Decay 2, I’ve almost got all the supplies gathered up in my community to speedrun through the last two legacies on the hardest difficulty.
It’s a really solid zombie survival, that walks a nice balance of not having standard survival micromanagement. Accessible(fun) combat, and some expression in base/resource management but not to the point where it dominates moment to moment play. Hits the good middle ground of permadeath in terms of losing survivors, but still having a community so you’re not losing all your resources/progress.
still Morrowind in XR. having fun just wandering around again.
also Vintage Story. chill minecraft flip but more. wandering around public rooms seeing what is up.
i played a bit of fallout 4, but i dont really understand the hype that was around it. its a loading screen simulator with an awful city repair element slapped on top.
not a huge fan :/
it sucks… i really enjoyed all of the previous fallouts i played (FO1, FO2, FO:BoS, FO3) and expected something better.
I‘ve completed Cyber Hook and I can‘t recommend it enough. Screw the story, the gameplay loop and movement is what it‘s all about. It‘s an absolute hidden gem, hands down. I strongly recommend everyone to give it a shot!
I‘ve also been playing some Horizon Chase Turbo and while I think it‘s pretty unique nowadays and runs great on the Deck, it‘s a bit too fast-paced for the small screen in the higher difficulty levels. Still recommend it though.
Lastly, I‘ve done some further quests in Assassin‘s Creed: Unity and I remember reading here that the movement reached perfection in this title and while it might be the best movement in the series (I dunno), I think the movement’s absolutely terrible lol, and the combat is worse still. Everything is so inprecise and slow, the character jumps to ledges I didn‘t even think about and takes ages to climb even when pursued or flatout refuses to climb something for five seconds… And I still don‘t know why AC had to turn into these permanent tavern brawls, stealth seems to be impossible, I‘m now resorting to just smoke bombing and cleaning up every fight. I do enjoy the sightseeing and world but man… I liked Origins more as a game. I won‘t pretend like I‘m an AC god, but other entries in the franchise clicked with me more (2, Black Flag, Origins).
I’ve never heard of Cyber Hook before but it looks awesome. I’m definitely picking it up. Thanks for the recommendation.
I’ve added Horizon Chase Turbo to my Wishlist, and downloaded the demo. I’ll probably check it out soon.
Horizon, if you enjoy it has an F1 dlc mode that I think is even more fun than the base game
Duly noted, thanks.
I finally checked out Cyber Hook last night, as per your recommendation. It’s awesome! I only have about an hour of playtime into it so far but I’m really enjoying it. Thanks for the recommendation.
Glad to hear you‘re having a good time! That game really flew under a lot of people‘s radars. I hope more will give it a shot in the future.
I’ve been playing Fire Emblem Engage on and off for the past few weeks. I don’t care for either the story or characters, but gameplay is really good imo.
I finished my play-through of Skyward Sword HD. Story 10/10, game 7/10, overall 8/10.
Continuing to play through classic Zelda games, I started a play-through of Minish Cap. I played this once before years ago, but I don’t remember any of it. The Minish are so freakin’ cute, I forgot how fun this little game was!
Once again trying to do a good redstone in Minecraft. But mostly just mine and chill.
I finally got Mario Kart 8 on the switch. It’s a blast playing with my kids and showing no mercy 😈.
I also installed the Jupiter Hell Classic demo (a demake of a remake of a roguelike unmake of Doom.) I enjoy it but similar to Jupiter Hell I’m pretty terrible at it so far. It’s definitely worth a look if you’re a roguelike fan. You can play the original unmake DRL (Doom: the roguelike) for free, or also try the demo for JHC on steam.
