God of War (2018)!
I often tire of open world exploration and gameplay, but so far this game has either:
- not opened up super wide
- or does not need to open up super wide
I’m not a huge fan of the Destiny level up system where you gain exp and get new gear to hit level requirements, but I’ve been able to keep up. Just annoying when I stumble upon an area with something 2-4 levels higher than me.
The story is great so far.
Tap for spoiler
I’m about to enter Joutunheim and just finished killing one of Thor kin. Magni, I think.
I never played the other GoW entries, but do recall watching my dad play them when I was younger. I did eventually play Dante’s Inferno, which was very similar in gameplay.
I much prefer the axe throwing/melee combo gameplay to the top down hack and slash, I think.
Assetto Corsa
Noita.
Control, and mewgenics.
Another week where I’ve actually had time to play, but not on pc at all this week unfortunately.
The last few days I’ve been playing Evolve. I recently found a used disc for PS4 and remember really enjoying it back in the day on Xbox (which I no longer have). I’m actually having a blast playing through it on single player again. The DLC is completely inaccessible nowadays unless you already have it unfortunately so I’m stuck with the base 12 hunters and 3 monsters but that’s okay, all my favourites were from the base game anyway. It’s too bad this game wasn’t better received, I used to play it a lot and was very confused when I saw all the negative reviews it had. Maybe it just didn’t click with most people and it did for me, not sure. Or maybe there was drama with it that I didn’t know about. Either way, I’m having a ton of fun with it again. I’ve unlocked all the hunters except Lazarus and Caira (I think that’s her name), and I still have to unlock the other two monsters.
I’m playing Archolos, which is a free fan-made game on the Gothic 2 engine (you still need to own Gothic 2 tho). It’s like 60 hours long and I’m only 12 hours in and just got into the city. The quality is pretty incredible for a fan-made game, I think I’ll be playing through it for the next 2 months at the very least
Maybe not a “patient gamer” game since it was released a few months ago, but I’m playing Verho - Curse of Faces. I was in the mood for something like Kings Field or Lunacid, and this certainly scratches that itch.
