What y’all been playing?
I’ve been playing a bunch of silent hill 2 which has been quite fantastic so far imo. Really nailed the vibes of the original.
Also been playing balatro on my phone a lot
Bleak Sword DX
I got stuck on a tough boss for a while, so I replayed some earlier levels to level up my character. We’re back in business. It didn’t even feel like a grind since each area/battle is short and gameplay feels great. Maybe 15 minutes to get the 2 level ups I needed. I’m enjoying the steady increase in difficulty and how new enemies are introduced. The game does a good job of making you assess the situation and use the techniques available to overcome it. There’s even some fire/environmental hazards that can be used to your advantage.
Fae Tactics
Also got stuck on a (boss?) fight, so I took some time to rearrange my party and spells to get some better elemental synergy and buffs and it worked! Definitely feels rewarding and, well, tactful.
I’m still regularly going back to Hotdogs Horseshoes and Hand grenades to play take and hold. Easily my favourite VR game.
Diablo IV: Vessel of Hatred.
Been running this insane build melting the entire screen. Very soon I’ll be target farming mythic uniques. Absolutely loving the new Spirit Born class!
I’m playing Metaphor ReFantazio. I’ve played the first 15 hours and it seems really good.
It feels a lot like fantasy persona with smt combat (which is good because I always felt like turn press was more fun than one more). The new job system is interesting, and fights are challenging enough (on hard).
Story and setting started off strong, so I’m curious to see how it goes.
I played the demo up to the first couple battles just to get a taste of how that works. No question, I am very excited to get my hands on it. I’m generally a sub-$20 patient gamer, but this is one I’ll be getting sooner. I’ll still probably wait for the holiday season to see if it drops down at all because I’ve got plenty to keep me busy in the meantime.
Really been enjoying Guild Saga: Vanished Worlds. I haven’t found a TBS RPG that captured my interest for a long time, and this combines a lot of the things I like from Divinity: Original Sin (like elemental effects with the environment, and talking to animals), with nice pixel graphics and very classic DnD game feel. It reminds me of Icewind Dale, vibe-wise.
Started the new D4 season, I don’t have the expansion.
This is my second season and my second character, I went with a summoner Necromancer this time, I also skipped the Campaign and went straight to end-game.
I have to say I really find it quite boring.
I’m also getting stuck into Monster Hunter Rise, just passed 5 star missions, I’m playing with Great Sword and I’m enjoying the challenge, I think I’m beginning to understand what MH is all about now.
Only just started the new Diablo 4 expansion, because I was sick the whole week. I’m still early in the campaign, playing the new Spiritborn.
