I myself am 100ish hours into AC Odyssey on the Steam Deck, looking forward to getting stabby on some malakas!

Where are my ToTK folks ?
I’ve been playing Grim dawn for a while. Just finished getting to lvl 96 on a spellbinder. As much as I’d like to try Diablo 4, $70 is just too steep at the moment. Maybe when it goes on sale
GD fills that Diablo need pretty darn well. I enjoy it more than Diablo 1-3, at any rate.
And if the need comes, I’m pretty sure Grim Dawn has a mod that’s just Diablo 2 anyways.
Trying to finish my first full Darkest Dungeon run since starting in 2016. I never started the final DD level but completed everything else, but I feel I can’t start Darkest Dungeon II before completing the campaign in the first game.
That and probably some more Cities: Skylines 🙂
I really really wanted to like Darkest Dungeon, but either I really suck at it or there’s just too much grinding for me. I’ve gone through about 30 in-game weeks and haven’t really gotten anywhere.
It is a big grind, yes. If that’s not your cup of tea I don’t think you’ll ever grow fond of it. There’s also alot of randomness that at times feels very unfair. But for some reason, it appeals to me 🙂.
Part two is not as long, or so I read, but you still have to grind to unlock characters and skills, apparently.
Making my way through Witcher 3 but I keep getting distracted by gwent.
No no no, that’s no distraction, that’s the main part of the game :D
Agreed, they put a game around the card game, that kept getting in the way!
I picked up Hi-Fi Rush on sale about a week ago, blew through it once, and am now working on a second play through/new game plus. Super fun game. After putting it down after playing for a while I still feel like I’m doing things to a beat for a bit.
I love rhythm games but not normally a fan of action arcade. Hi Fi rush is something special though and I think everyone should give it a chance.
I like hifi rush alot, its a real sleeper and i like the vibe. If you are looking for more I really recommend bullets per minute. It’s a roguelike rhythm shooter with a really baller soundtrack. It’s less forgiving than hifi rush but when you get in the zone it can be really rewarding.
Lots of Diablo 4 this weekend if I can actually get some free time. We’ll see about that, but that’s been my main time sink lately.
Same, can’t stop playing it when I get the chance.
Just bought The Talos Principle and I really like it. I will be playing the heck out of it for the rest of the weekend.
I’d really like to experience my first play-through again. Really awesome game.
Surprisingly good! Didn’t expect the story to unfold that way from what’s essentially a puzzle game
I’ve been replaying it in anticipation of the second one coming out by the end of this year. Can’t wait!
Picked up Cult of the Lamb yesterday on sale as I’ve heard nothing but good things and I’m really enjoying it so far. Told myself I’d be a kind and caring cult leader…that didn’t last long!
CotL is such a cute and disturbing game. Quite addicting as well.
I’m still missing two of the “No Damage Taken” Achievements. But neither my reaction time or patience is what it used to be. XD
Yeah I didn’t know a lot about it before I started playing, was expecting something similar to Hades. It’s definitely darker than I expected but really enjoying it so far
You can do it, Leader. We have faith in you.
Tears of the Kingdom, although I might take a break for No Man’s Sky
Eyyy same for NMS. I generally just like to run around and screen shot stuff
Is there new content for NMS or you are just enjoying it at the moment?
Fallout 1 with a 1-Intelligence character. I’m, somehow, succeeding.
That is so much fun. Fallout 1 was one of those games that just blew my mind when it came out, and it’s still one of my favourites.
Have you tried FO2? I liked it better than the first.
I may have played it a time or two.
I enjoy the tone and tightness of the first game’s story much more. I enjoy the second game’s expanded mechanics and item variety. In terms of tone, really Fallout 2 really sets the course for the rest of the franchise. Fallout 1 ends up being this very strange outlier that never really got revisited by official games (there are some stand alone mods that capture it a lot more).
Diablo 4 pretty much nonstop since release. Really enjoying it so far.
The price tag is such a burden for me but my wife and I really truly enjoyed d3 and the a lot of arpgs, grimdawn, torchlight etc. Is it genuinely worth £120 for two copies?
My wife and I bought it and we don’t regret the purchase; but also we’re doing well enough this year that is not a huge burden for us. So B like… it’s worth it generally IMO, but if it’s a burden, I can’t say that any game is worth it.
I’m happy I’m a patient gamer, I’ll definitely buy it, but will not pay full price. My partner and I are both gamers, so it’d be way too expensive for us to get it right away.
I’m getting into Cosmic Star Heroine on my deck. Feels like Chrono Trigger in such a great way.

Gonna piggyback the retro jrpg comment here since I’m currently playing Chained Echoes. Very clean feeling, some refreshing mechanics although it does have slightly frustrating RNG at times.
Elden Ring, just got the game and I’m excited to keep exploring this open world dark souls
I never got into any of the souls games until Elden Ring, but I’m now working through it for like the fifth time. Truly one of the best games I’ve ever played.
Tears Of the Kingdom! Fully went in expecting to be disappointed, but it just continues to blow me away the deeper I get into it. Truly incredible what they were able to pull off with such old hardware.
My partner has been playing it and I’m shocked at what’s in that game. Really impressed as an onlooker
It’s honestly outstanding. When I realized how much content was in this game compared to BOTW my jaw hit the floor! I’ve been a life long Zelda fan so it makes me so happy to see the franchise getting renewed love and excitement around it.
Someone on one of my discords showed some screenshots from SWTOR, so I plunked down $15 and am playing through some of the storylines I never gave a shot back when it first launched and generally doing my best to ignore the mmo aspects of it. I might give Hi-Fi Rush a shot, as it’s seemed interesting and someone else said it’s one of the more forgiving rhythm games so I might actually have a shot in it.
Damn, the Swtor class stories were some of the best ones I’ve seen in an MMO. Have fun with that one!
Also, I really want to recommend hifi rush! It is indeed forgiving, there are some parts where you have to hit on the beat (but well telegraphed), and I feel like you get the hang of it quite easily. That being said, apart from the gameplay it is also just one of the funniest games of 2023. If you get the chance give it a try. :)
Yeah, I got a Sith Inquisitior to max level when it first launched, but the lack of endgame left me abandoning it until now.
And will do!
Inquisitor was also my first one. If you want a strong one to start, I’d suggest the Sith warrior, imperial agent, jedi knight or smuggler (somewhat mid, but the dialogues alone are worth it!)
Currently zipping through IA and will probably do Jedi Knight and then call it quits. I remember not really digging the Sith Warrior line from back in the day, but maybe I’ll feel different about it now.
To be honest, I played the warrior as a light side character and I was pretty satisfied with it. It feels a bit rushed in the end, but it is certainly enjoyable. If you’ve got the time and motivation, I’d recommend. :)
I remember just feeling like a pawn after how empowered I felt as an Inquisitor.
