Morrowind. But i beat it w the dlcs few days ago so might replay oblivion before replaying morrowind with mods. I got tamriel rebuilt tho to see a glimpse of what theyve built and the sheer size of the map is jawdropping.

Lately I've been playing Roboquest, an indie arena shooter about halfway through the progression system, and Octopath Traveler 2, a jrpg with great music and some battle mechanics that make turn based combat more interesting (5 battle points per character that charge per turn to boost abilities, defense breaks/weak points, and buff/debuff counters).

[–] BCsven@lemmy.ca 2 points 11 hours ago

Mud Runners. Surprisingly a good game if you like mishaps that provide challenges. The soft terrain physics are fun just to watch as your truck plows through, too.

Dead Space and Silent Hill 2 (once I get paid πŸ‘€), and replaying Ghost of Tsushima.

[–] bpt11@sh.itjust.works 5 points 14 hours ago (2 children)

I dunno a lot about ghost of Tsushima, but I’ve always thought it looks interesting, and very beautiful.

Just started playing deadlock, valve's new MOBA and I love it. I really hope when it's out of play test they add more champions to play as.

[–] MentalEdge@sopuli.xyz 4 points 16 hours ago* (last edited 16 hours ago)

There's a bunch of planned but unreleased heroes still in development that might drop in an update at any time. They are already in the game in a WIP state, so you can find videos of people who have used commands to access that stuff in sandbox or custom matches.

Mirage was only just added, Valve doesn't announce or elaborate much on what is coming when, they are basically adding stuff as it becomes ready.

Climbing ropes weren't even in the game a few updates ago.

Just started Baldur's Gate 3. Never played a CRPG before (does Disco Elysium count?) so it has been quite the learning curve for combat. Pretty stuck in the Underdark, it seems. Looks like I'll have to help out a slavetrader Gekh in order to proceed because I don't think I can defeat him and his buddies...

[–] JoMiran@lemmy.ml 14 points 18 hours ago

Disco Elysium absolutely counts.

Got Yellow Taxi Goes Vroom last night and absolutely had a blast. It's like a collect-a-thon style game where you play as a living taxi who has to collect green gears to stop Alien Mosk and his oil.

I also got around to an updated version of Shotgun King: The Final Checkmate. It's chess, but you are a single chess king piece with a shotgun vs various other pieces on the other side who normally can only move normally. Beat the enemy king and get a card to buff you, and your opponents. Simple gameplay.

Zelda a link to the past (emulated on pocket snes).

Satisfactory!! 1.0 is great

[–] Zagorath@aussie.zone 2 points 11 hours ago (1 children)

I've played a bit of Factorio and enjoyed it a little too much, but watching some video clips of Satisfactory a couple of years ago really didn't grab me. Do you think it's likely that either watching the game have a very poor sense of what it's like (for someone already familiar with Factorio), or that the game has gotten a whole heap better over the last 2ish years?

I always describe satisfactory as subnautica but about automating machinery like a tycoon game but with more reminiscent of portal. Needless to say its really fun!

Castlevania: Aria of Sorrow, practicing the any% route so I can play it onstream soon.

That's when I'm not distracted with !Balatro@lemm.ee on my phone.

Don't Starve Together!

Just went back and played the Witcher 3 Blood & Wine expansion. The main questline was really awesome! Many of the side quests feel like busy work, but some are good.

Tis the Halloween season, so I'm now playing Amnesia: The Bunker. It offers a new gameplay flow from their past, more linear games. Past games are more: here's an area with its own monster and a puzzle, solve the puzzle to get through this area. The Bunker (so far) is more: there are several areas with puzzles, but the whole time there is a monster living in the walls that you have to be careful not to alert. Makes it feel more sandboxy and freeform, I'm digging it.

My brother got me into Frostpunk recently. It's been kicking my ass lol

[–] ArmoredThirteen@lemmy.ml 3 points 15 hours ago

Frostpunk has such weird balance. I found it to be an extremely difficult game until a few core loops clicked. Then it was suddenly completely trivial and I lost interest

Silent Hill 2 Remake. It’s been absolutely amazing so far. Bloober team knocked this one out of the park, and I’m really looking forward to Cronos: The New Dawn.

[–] observes_depths@aussie.zone 1 points 11 hours ago

What a question. Last month I dusted off the PS4 for a month of PS Plus, playing the first 2 Uncharted games and trying a few other games - Far Cry 6 and Assetto Corsa were good enough to buy on PC later.

As of yesterday I'm back on the PC playing M&B 2 Bannerlord.

[–] linucs@lemmy.ml 1 points 11 hours ago

Zelda BOTW, really awesome

[–] bpt11@sh.itjust.works 2 points 13 hours ago (1 children)

Upcoming stream after 11 months πŸ™

[–] hitstun@fedia.io 2 points 12 hours ago

Me too! My weekly stream is becoming more of a yearly stream. My work schedule doesn't really allow for consistent streams, but maybe that'll change soon.

[–] MudMan@fedia.io 11 points 20 hours ago (8 children)

Metaphor ReFantazio is amazing.

I doesn't look like it needs my help, because it's doing pretty well, but damn, it's good.

Maybe too much anxiety to play a game in which you're running for office in a fantasy land, at least until November, but... yeah, it's bonkers and it's well written and it's by far the most political game the Persona-adjacent studios have ever done in some really fun ways.

Also a triumph of UI. Not only does it look great, it's so frictionless. It's a turn-based JRPG and it plays faster and more smoothly than that abomination of an action game Square tried to pass as a Final Fantasy VII remake by orders of magnitude. Seriously, go play it if you're at all interested in that corner of gaming.

I'm pretty much always coming back to Rocket League with a couple of friends. We're probably gonna get Space Marine 2 soon to play together too.

Paper Mario Thousand Year Door remake with my wife because she's never seen it. We also started Dead Space. Right now our main obsession is passing the controller back and forth to play Dredge.

I also have a create a pro career I will play off and on in FC 24 and NHL 24 (both were included with PS+, don't @ me lol).

Because of PS+, I'll try a new game every few weeks. Some really keep my attention like Tunic and The Forgotten City did, and some get deleted almost immediately like Car Mechanic Simulator and Ride 5. I'm always trying something new.

Do tabletop games count? If so, then... Dungeons and Dragons haha. I'm learning the ropes, having fun with it :)

[–] Zagorath@aussie.zone 2 points 11 hours ago

Oh damn I didn't even think about tabletop games counting! In that case I have to amend my answer to also include Pathfinder 2.

[–] bpt11@sh.itjust.works 5 points 18 hours ago

Tabletop games absolutely count! I love D&D, I’m glad you’re having fun!

[–] tiefling@lemmy.blahaj.zone 5 points 17 hours ago

I can't get off Splatoon

been playing the renegade mod for pokemon platinum for a while but I think I'm burnt out on it already. just got to pastoria city and caught some exotic critters in the great marsh but then suddenly lost all interest in playing. might just be one of those days though

[–] ZeroTwo@lemmy.world 2 points 14 hours ago

Zenless Zone Zero FFXIV Silent Hill 2 remake Cyberpunk Dredge Eden ring.

I flip flop a lot. I play little by little a whole bunch of games. I'll beat them all eventually!

I took the month of Halloween as an excuse to replay all of Silent Hill and it has been a fantastic experience, very nostalgic. I'm already playing the 4th game and when I finish it I'm going to jump into playing short horror games on Itch.io.

Nightmare Reaper. I finally bothered to unlock Newgame+, so I'm having fun with the better guns in earlier levels.

[–] Nikls94@lemmy.world 2 points 14 hours ago

I just finished Kingdom Hearts 1 and am currently playing Kingdom Hearts Chain of Memories.

After 22 years I finally gave KH1 another go and I loved it so much I got every game of the series lol

[–] Corno@lemm.ee 8 points 20 hours ago

Super Mario Bros 3 and GTA V!

[–] PortoPeople@lemm.ee 8 points 20 hours ago (2 children)

I was playing Dwarf Fortress, but the bugs made me shelve the game for the foreseeable future. It's great until the bugs kill your game.
