Just got the Spyro and crash trilogies on sale on my Xbox. Haven’t played spyro since it came out on the ps1. Nostalgia hit to the max, and my 3 y/o daughter loves watching it too.
What have you been playing and what do you think of it? 07/27/2023

Naraka Bladepoint. It’s a shrinking-circle-style battle royale focused around fast-paced melee weapon combat. It’s been out for around 2 years but just went free to play a couple weeks ago. It’s fantastic. I’ve always loved invasions in Dark Souls, and while the combat is definitely different (maybe closer to Sekiro, but that’s not quite right either) it honestly feels like an improvement, as its designed for PvP first.

LoZ: Ocarina of Time. I really appreciate that I can run across the main part of the map in less than an in-game day. BotW and TotK are vast and I love them in their own right but I am really enjoying the OG scale of the map.

I’ve been giving Exoprimal a try (free on GamePass). It’s actually a really fun mix of PvE and PvP so far! The story is hilariously strange as well. Not sure I’d think it’s worth $60, but for free it’s been a blast!

I recently got a ps4, and am catching up on things I’ve missed. This week I finished Infamous: second son Infamous 2 was my favorite open world game of its generation, and Second Son felt like a lot of the same. Overall I feel like it was short, a lot of the missions felt copy/pasted, and I think the karma system wasn’t as interesting. The multiple power gimmick was fun, but I wish it was easier to swap around. It was disappointing that my favorite power is unavailable for the last few boss fights.
Overall I felt it was a 6/10, I liberated all the regions and beat the story with the “Good” end, but I’m not compelled to go back and try the evil route or finish everything 100%

I’ve gotten back into Guild Wars 2 and I’m enjoying it a lot more than where I left off. The game definitely matured since the end of the first expansion where I was and it seems like it’s in a good way. I like that there’s a lot to continually do and the grind to get to new fun stuff doesn’t seem too high.
Other than that, my take my mind off of stuff game has been Sailwind which is an early access sailboat sim/merchant sim game. It’s pretty cathartic to haul stuff across an open sea from point a to point b.

I’ve been playing Arcade Paradise the past couple of weeks. It’s been enjoyable. Some of the arcade mini games are fun. Best part has been my wife walking in, looking at the TV, and asking “Are you playing a video game about doing laundry? Couldn’t you just actually do laundry?”
Now that I’ve mostly wrapped that up, I think I’m taking the next few weeks away from games to catch up on some reading.

I’ve jumped back into Fallout: New Vegas recently. I’ve had a really hard time getting into games properly in the last few years, so figured trying a return to an old favourite might be worth a go. I’ve tried my hand in modding it a bit to try and make it feel a little less dated, and so far I’m enjoying it. That said due to chance I’ve not been able to get much more than 40 minutes at a go in game before something’s lead me to have to go and do something else, but baby steps.
I’m looking forward to Baldur’s Gate 3 later this week and I’m hoping it’s not going to be another case of me playing a couple of hours and enjoying it before not returning to it for a few months, restarting it, not keeping it up, coming back a few months later and restarting it again ad infinitum.

Diablo 4, I wish it was more fast paced in every aspect of the game.
I also played dordogne yesterday, it had a cute story, beautiful art, but the gestures needed for many things would have played better on a tablet than on pc that I played it on.

I’ve played terraria for years, but somehow my buddies and I were discussing games and it came up. So we started playing it and while I would’ve made progress in a world much faster, they’ve had a lot of fun, and it’s been so refreshing playing a game I love with my friends that also begin to fall in love. I may have gained a few years to my life during our playthrough

Steelrisi.g is pretty cool, I’m like 10 hours in and it’s super fun.

System shock remake… Pretty incredible. Never played 1 but beat 2 a few years ago and it’s awesome playing an old school game again with a modern flair. Hoping to finish before baldurs gate comes out.
