The first weekly What Are You Playing? thread!

Submitted ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩ by ⁨Envy@fedia.io⁩ to ⁨games@lemmy.world⁩

Hey everyone! I have no power in here, have not checked if anyone has started one of these but I feel like being the change I want to see in the world.

So! What are you playing this week?

I just started off Claire Obscure Expedition 33, and at the same time, have been getting my girlfriend to slowly wean off of Guilty Gear Strive and try out older fighter games like Guilty Gear XX and a more recent one, BlazBlueCrossTag (both to great success)

Also still haven't beat the first major boss of Nightreign, not looking forward to the trashtalk from friends after the nerf because they did it first

Shotgun Cop Man. Short sweet and simple from the people that made My Friend Pedro. The movement system and level design feels pretty sublime when you get in a good flow. And I just discovered there’s Steam Workshop levels!

THERE’S SO MUCH GAMES!!

Space Engineers. I set up a server for me and my friends with a few mods.

So far, we have an undefended asteroid with a ton of resources and production capabilities. It was attacked recently by a small pirate ship but I fought it off.

I’m in the process of making a large nomad ship - a mobile base.

  Surprised someone mentioned it. I’m playing it too. Quite captivating game.

I’ve played a bunch of Monster Train 2 which is great. A really novel interpretation of the Slay the Spire format. It also has some great qol and mechanical improvements over the first. Highly recommend if you’re into that sort of thing.

Medieval Dynasty: New Settlement in VR. It’s quite good, though a bit glitchy here and there. Finished the main quest line and am now running my tavern whilst waiting for my baby to be born.

I’ve played some old Silver Box Dungeons and Dragons games (Heroes of the Lance, Dragons of Flame and Shadow Sorcerer) I got from a GOG promotion who knows how long ago. Stuff from 1988-1990. My god, those games suck HARD. Granted, PCs didn’t have much in terms of “good real time action games”, but those just feel awful from start to finish. The fact that increasing cycles or adding frameskips in DOSBox doesn’t speed up the games doesn’t help, either.

Shadow Sorcerer isn’t as bad as the previous 2, no longer being a side scroller and being real time tactics, but it doesn’t quite cut it.

Monster Hunter Wilds, and my friend and I play the Outlast Trials together. I haven’t gotten far in MH, but I’m really enjoying it.

Abiotic Factor - I’m close to reaching the end

I’m still looking for a game for the weekend. I’m thinking of something with exploration, management and maybe first-person.

  Sounds like Satisfactory might be what you’re looking for.

  I don’t see people playing Sea of Thieves much anymore. I never liked the top level pro PVP aspect but I do enjoy joining people for simple treasure hunts.
  
  DM me if you’re looking for more players.

Swapping between “Flintlock: Siege of Dawn” and “Cathedral” right now.

Just finished 100% Ghostsong, Mummy Demastered, and Remnant 2 recently.

Moonstone Island at the moment. And Baldurs Gate 3 because cross-play finally lets me party up with my husband.

I’m currently playing:

Star Citizen (I know I know. I paid like $40 into the Kickstarter years ago and I dip in about once a year or so.)

Last of Us 2 (again)

Schedule I on Steam Deck is pretty fun.

I’m also currently gearing up to get horrendously addicted to Rimworld again since there’s apparently a new DLC on the way.

I’ve been trying out the Half Sword demo recently and yep, it’s medieval combat QWOP. Very fun tho, in spite of my poor framerate.

Other than that I’ve been setting up maps and stuff for a DND one shot I’ve been planning to run. Will be fun to see how that pans out.

So, I’m thinking of starting, for the third time, Witcher 3. I liked it the second time I tried it but there was something, off about the game… I think it’s time for another try at it.

Ffxiv since the relic weapon stuff is out. Getting pretty far in that grind.

Also replaying symphony of the night. Just been in the mood for it. Haven’t really been playing anything new lately. Deltarune chapter 3 & 4 are out and I’ll start playing them tonight, but I’m at work for the time being sadly.

Just started playing Splitgate 2! Didn’t really pay too much attention when it got announced, but I saw it was live last night and gave it a try.

As a long time Halo/Arena Shooter fan, this game really scratches a certain itch. The gameplay is crisp, the art direction is fun, and I had a blast. Now I just need to get better at using my portals in game…

Something that stood out to me is that the install (at least on Xbox) was only 17gb! After so many gigantic games, it’s nice to have one with a manageable file size.

I finished my second playthrough of Drova - Forsaken Kin (wanted to see both of the camps + experience the new content added with the last patch) somewhat recently and it gave me the itch to go back and replay the first two games from the Gothic series. I’m already done with Night of the Raven and making my way through the first game now. Getting them to run smoothly on Linux was a bit of a process but other than that they still hold up incredibly well, at least in my incredibly biased view.

  I am som enthralled by Drova, you should give the Myrtana: Archolos mod a try. Really liked it.

    Worry not, I already played it long ago! I’m patiently and eagerly waiting for them to release the Mod of The Decade edition to re-play it again, I’ll definitely try the city guard path and I’m very excited to see what the teased water mage path will be.

Playing Core Keeper with no wiki. Having a blast, didn’t realize how much content the game has now. I need to play without a wiki more often. Much more fun.

I actually went back to give star citizen a shot since they added these “flight school” type missions that actually pay pretty well. It’s a chill experience to just pop on after work and do like 6-8 of them since they only take a few minutes each and then log off.

Other than that I found this game hard time 3 that is absolutely unhinged madness. It’s a janky messy game, but it’s fun chaos to mess with for a bit.
