Hollow Knight - started last week and got through initial frustration, now I’m enjoying it and expect to love it by the end!
It’s an amazing game, you end up feeling quite immersed. I love it.
Personally, I’m not a big fan of metroidvanias, but HK is the best metroidvania I’ve ever seen

I finally got to try HK from the local library on ps4. Found out that while in really interested in the game, I absolutely hate the controls and gameplay. Which is how I feel with most platformers. Little big planet, Rainbow Islands and Bubble Bobble I remember as being happy exceptions. And Not a Hero.
It’s a beautiful and amazing creation, though.
Oh the controls were rough for the first couple of hours! I was very angry at times, especially as I had read that HK controls amazingly tightly. Couldn’t wrap my head around that.
It got better over time though, I’m 12 hours in, still dying a lot, but moreso because the platforming is starting to be challenging at times, controls themselves are feeling much better than in the beginning.
I’ve read for years that Prey (2017) was a game you do no research on and just go in blind. My goodness I’m glad I did. Love the game so far at about 2 hours in
I wasn’t super keen on the mimics at the start, but the game just kept getting better and better.
I’ve started Mooncrash but it’s on hiatus at the moment, until I find more time or tick another couple of games off the list.
I might start Crysis 1
That is mighty patient. 👍
This weekend I managed to get in some time with Boltgun and Signals. Apparently I was in need of chunky pixels.
Botgun - Warhammer 40,000 boomer-shooter nonsense.
Signals - Dead space but Silent Hill via the inventory management from RE (6 slots are enough for anyone, right?)
I just finished signalis today. What do you think about games with abstract/obscure style of narrative? Where you have to speculate a lot, fill the gaps yourself and maybe, ultimately, getting out without any clear picture, about wtf happened there at all lol?
It’s one of those types of games. I personally tend to like them. Pathologic, for example, is one of most special gaming experiences for me. But after finishing Signalis, I felt mostly frustrated with how incoplete the story was - I haven’t even managed to feel any connection with the protagonist and her goal.
Anyway, yeah, it’s a great game, that will definitely live in my head for some days, but it’s a shame the story didn’t click for me.
Yeh, I don’t know how far in I am, probably not very, I just entered the mines. I suspect much of the plot is passing me by. Though understanding German is probably a help.
The plot not making much sense is very Silent Hill. You basically needed to get a secret ending to have any idea at all what was going on in SH1. Got the same vibe here.
But I’m happy soaking up the atmosphere and looking at the freaky shit.
I’m not the most patient gamer, and usually I would skip story/lore related notes in games, and even main story cutscenes. Here I was kinda invested.
I looked through the wiki for a couple of hours, and I got the impression, that even the connections between the main story bits are just fans’ speculations. But anyway, I think, it would be a good idea to recollect the facts on your own, read about the references and build your own picture first before checking online - I feel like I kinda spoiled it for myself a bit by rushing to the wiki.
Signalis is a masterpiece that will not get out of my brain. And I’m not even big into survival horror.
Replaying Hellblade. I absolutely loved it on my first play-through a couple of years back, and I’m excited to go through it again.
The sound design on that game is amazing.
I’m so bad at games, I got stuck at one of the earlier levels in this before abandoning it lol but it is such a beautiful game, I’m definitely going to try it out again sometime when I get better!
Hades. I’m not a fan of rogue-like games, but this one is awesome! I bought it second time on a different platform and trying to beat it on 100% again. I think for me one of the most appealing things of that game isdesign. Like, it’s done amazingly well, “with love and care” one would say
Hades is so cool, what’s the highest heat you’ve played?
16 so far, just to get the Skelly’s achievement. On my second playthrough I decided that I want to get that game to 100% both achievement-wise and content-wise, so I’m working on bonds with all characters at that moment
For me it is Hades as well. Impulse purchase and I like so far. I’m progressing very slowly though. Still hesitant to active Godmode.
That Persona 3 Reload trailer has got me thinking about Atlus games again, so I’m gonna finally check out Catherine.
It really seems like the right level of weird so far.
WAIT PERSONA 3 RELOAD TRAILER? WHAT??
Please do not be messing with me right now…
It’s been announced yesterday, but most of the fanbase already saw the leaks since Friday
FYI, it’s a remake of base P3, so no FES or Portable content. Knowing Atlus, that will come in P3RR a year later and be exclusive to iOS.
Wow, just saw the trailer, it looks good! My boy Makoto’s 3D model finally looking as good as the official art makes him. Is there a SMT/Persona community on Lemmy yet?
Knowing Atlus, that will come in P3RR a year later and be exclusive to iOS.
Do not put that out into the world, you know that’ll actually happen T_T
I don’t think Lemmy’s big enough for niche communities like a SMT specific one.
Catherine is great, though I only played Classic and not Full Body. It takes itself more seriously than you’d except from the marketing (edit: the romantic stuff I mean; the rest of the game is funny AF), and the animation is great.
Though of all things, I remember it because it remixes classical music, which made the endgame ridiculous in a good way.
I’ve been playing Shapez that I picked up for $3 the other week. It’s like a chill factorio, so it scratches that itch for me. Apparently they’re working on a sequel, so maybe I’ll play that next decade when it’s on sale.
Interesting. It seems there is a Shapez 2 coming.
FF6. Not playing the pixel remaster, but the “Ted Woosley Uncensored” patch with bug fixes. I’ve tried many times to play this, and I’m now the furthest I’ve ever been through it! Have also started Ratchet and Clank Rift Apart on PS+, and I really should be playing that before it inevitably gets removed, but I’m sticking with FF6.
Spiritfarer - it took me years to get around to playing it. It’s quite lovely!
Lovely is definitely the right word. Been meaning to go back, there was a character added since I played last.
Dead Space for the first time (2008, not the remake)
I wish I could experience this one for the first time again. I absolutely love this game. I hope you enjoy it!
Played this most of the way though recently. It’s the only game I’ve ever played though that gives me motion sickness.
Megaglest! Fantastic game! :)
Kingdom Come: Deliverance. I had it on PC before but never finished it so I got in on the XBOX sale as I find it more comfortable to play on the sofa.
It’s pretty good so far although the save system is irritating.
I hope we get a sequel announced soon.
I just installed the Turtle Wow private server client, with a handful of patches and addons that make it run a lot nicer. I have no interest in giving Blizzard any more money, but I’ve had an itch to play wow lately. And I think it’s cool they are expanding on vanilla things.
Edit: I’ve given the hardcore mode a try, currently only level 6 :)
I’ve been back into Mario Kart since finally getting the extra DLC tracks. Just started Dishonored 2 and Mass Effect 2, though I’ve been a bit anxious lately, so I’m finding TOTK to be good therapy ☺️
