Dark Messiah - Might and Magic
Anyone know how this is on Steam Deck?
Should be good, it works great on my potato Lenovo laptop.
Back to Solasta: Crown of The Magister. Playing the Palace of Ice DLC.
My wife and I keep looking for other co-op games like this, but the only one we’ve really enjoyed was Wasteland 3. If you have other suggestions, I’d love to hear them.
What we’ve tried so far: BG3, Rogue Trader, Jagged Alliance 3.
Divinity Original Sin 1 & 2 come to mind, also made by Larian before they made BG3
Ah, yes, I tried Divinity 2 but forgot about it. I think I personally just don’t care for Larian games that much. They’re definitely in the right vein of games though, so thanks for the response.
Not sure if it belongs here, but recently had some fun setting up my own WoW Wrath of the Lich King based server with bots on it. Played around with it a bit and it works surprisingly well. Some friends also wanted to join for some nostalgia 😄
Other than that dusted off HOTAS to get some time flying around in X4 to test the new patch they released which brought some big changes to the flight model.
Scarface: The World is Yours
I finished the game this week. What started as a rough but decent enough GTA clone with some unique ideas, turned into a pretty tiring experience by the time I was done with it. Between limited mission variety, decent but simple game loop (do simple mission, buy a businesses, take over district, buy & distribute drugs to get money, repeat 3) and constantly increasing reliance on big waves of enemies (sometimes never ending until you reach specific trigger), the whole things falls apart the longer you play. The worst of the worst is probably the final mission, where you’re spawned in the middle of enemy base, right in the open, surrounded by about 30 enemies, with no weapons except for a pistol with 7 shots. It was not fun.
The game as a whole is still “fine”, as long as you play it in very small doses to avoid burn out. I’m glad I finally played it to completion but I don’t think I’ll ever touch it again. It least I know what I’ve been missing all this time.
Final Fantasy XIV
I’ve been thinking about FF recently, mainly FF7 and its remakes but I’ve also looked into all of the other releases available on PC. While I still want to jump into those other titles, I decided to give FFXIV another go for now. New server, new character and a genuine attempt to embrace it all (cheese and all).
So far, so good. I’m taking things slow (literally too, I haven’t teleported once) so I don’t expect to get back to where I left off on my original character any time soon. It’s fine though, I forgot a lot of the story already so I might as well take my time getting immersed in it.
I just hope I’ll be able to click with it enough to get hooked this time.
Not suuuuuper patient, but I’m enjoying Project Wingman. Love playing on my steam deck. Had to scratch that dogfighting itch after finishing ace combat 6 earlier this year. And it’ll be a while before ace combat 7 has been out long enough for me to buy it for a decent price.
This week I’ve been playing Lumines Remastered on PC. I dumped so many hours into the original one on PSP. The port is very faithful to the original while also adding some nice updates to make it home on PC.
I did have a weird issue where having Vsync enabled made the controls hyper sensitive but turning it off fixed that.
I also don’t have much time to game these days so it’s nice to be able to pick up a quick, low commitment game that’s still engaging.
Spider-Man and Miles Morales on PC. I saw Brand New Day and it got me in the mood.
And after finally getting a job, I’m probably going to get Spider-Man 2 on the next sale so I can play even more Spider-Man and with better swinging mechanics.
Been replaying through the Halo games. I finished Reach, 1, 2, ODST, 3 and am still so offended by the execution of 4 that i couldn’t bring myself to start it.
Also been playing Magicraft on my Deck at work.
Planning on playing Terraria after a few years of not having touched the game. I might just continue grinding on Hypixel SkyBlock. Who knows ¯_(ツ)_/¯
I just finished Anode Heart after a million hours over the past couple weeks. Spectacular game. It’s an indie monster tamer, it doesn’t have the graphics of Nexomon: Extinction or Cassette Beasts but I liked it better than either of those.
Finally bought Tactics Breach Wizard or whatever it’s called when it went on sale for the nth time on Steam and it’s been a hoot. Funny dialogue, awesome art/concept, and I enjoy the gameplay immensely. Turn based tactics where each “room” of a mission is a level. Blends magic with the military industrial complex. Very cool, highly recommend.
