Mainly Balatro… I got the (remaster) of the original Fable on Steam, because they’re working on a new one. It’s interesting but failed to save correctly so i haven’t gotten back into it for a few days.
Recently got Detroit: Become Human on discount. Just began to play it this week and my wife cant let me play alone. She is super invested in the story. And so am I.
I‘ve finished Neon White and I honestly think the hell rushes (especially with level shuffle) is where the game shines the most. I could‘ve saved myself some time skipping all of the story and wouldn‘t have missed out on anything IMO lol
The story was so corny. The soundtrack is fantastic, though. I bought the soundtrack after finishing the game.
Continuing with SOMA. Just had a big revelation but now the base’s network is down, so I need to go reset the router.
I’ve also started Pipistrello and the Cursed Yoyo for when I’m in the mood for something more light-hearted. I tried the demo for it during Steam Next Fest and instantly loved it. It’s very obviously inspired by GBA pixel graphics. All the character sprites are insanely expressive. It even has the Pokemon Ruby-Sapphire-Emerald-style trumpets in the music!
And for extra verisimilitude, there are a bunch of graphics options to make it feel like a GBA game. LCD filter, a “strict” pixel mode, a rotatable 3D model to view the game in, and even screen glare if you really want it!
Dude SOMA was so good. I still think about the story and it’s implications. After you beat it, there was a Youtube miniseries about it that starts off strong and then gets pretty weak. It’s worth watching at least the first couple episodes: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L8I_J2VjsqQ&list=PLWjnM4fZ4U8wLxrFXjL-95ME0QJwdz8m8
Apart from the daily 20 minutes on Animal Crossing New Leaf I’ve spent more time tinkering and “fixing” stuff than playing. The best thing I did was setup Syncthing on my emulator handhelds which I should have done a lot sooner but didn’t even think to.
Having laugh out loud fun with “Promise Mascot Agency.” It’s basically all the wacky dialogue of the best Yakuza side missions with business management sim. Like Dondoko Island if you play those games. If you are into management sims, then play on Hard to start. I’m on normal and the gameplay offers almost zero challenge. But the exploration, characters and writing is excellent.
I’m playing Akimbot and it kinda sucks. I didn’t realize I was buying a kid’s game :/
I tried the demo for it during Steam Next Fest and the third-person shooting was interesting but wow, the two main characters have no chemistry with each other.
The characters and the story are so obnoxious dude. Pretty graphics/art and the music is good at least. I just beat Ghostrunner 2 and it feels like I’m still playing that game with all the wallrunning, grappling hooks, and last kill slo-mo lol
