    I’ve finally gave in and tried Vampire Survivors… what have I done. I didn’t realize it was 3AM by the time I put my handheld down and suffering at work today.

    Outside of that been casually replaying Halo CE and **Midnight Club 2 **

      Once you’ve beat Vampire Survivors you can lose more time playing Halls of Torment. You can curse me later

    Got into Rimworld for the first time and I’ve gone down such a rabbit hole that I don’t know if I can ever stop. I’ve never played such a completely engrossing game before.

    Exoprimal. It’s the exact dumb fun I want it to be with its own little sense of humor that actually works somewhat. If you have Gamepass it is a no-brainer. I’m not sure about $60 or $70 or whatever it’s retailing at yet but this will undoubtedly be a game with a huge surge in users when they start selling it for $30 and under. The PvPvE format works very well for it, it gives you a real sense of urgency and has you moving very quickly. Gives the fights and deaths real stakes that aren’t just resetting progression or something.

    I’ve been playing Exoprimal. I definitely wouldn’t have paid $60 for it, but it’s actually pretty fun - even though it’s primarily PVE, it really scratches the role-based hero gameplay I wanted out of Overwatch’s smoking wreck. In fact, keeping the shift primarily away from PVP (usually until endgame of each round) makes it so if you’re getting bodied by a much better team, you still get to play before having your group inefficiencies exposed at the end. That’s much better than an entire match being miserable with constant respawning.

      Reviewers told that after 10 hours they didn’t want to play more, when you will it 10 hours, tell ke if you are still interested in it because I want to play it but I don’t want to waste 60 bucks

    Just finished Rayman Origins. Nearly a decade old but the game still looks incredible. Moving on to Zelda Link Between Worlds on 3DS now

    I don’t spend too much on games and only buy if they’re on sale.

    Recently bought sleeping dogs for $2 and finished it 2 days ago. It was a 10/10 experience. Definitely suggest everyone to try it.

    Other than that I’ve been playing Deep Rock Galactic.

      Using a few QOL mods, I’ve given Subnautica 500+ hours of my life. It’s an excellent indie title that more game developers need to look at as an example of what they should be chasing.

    Battlebit, it’s everything I wanted in the latest Battlefield titles and more, but made by 3 indie devs. Map votes, weapon attachments, classes, local voice chat, destruction, scoreboard, night mode on all maps… It’s great.

      The top rated comment on here when it first came out was “Everyone talking positively about it must be a shill, there’s no way a game can be that good”

      It really just is that good!

    I’ve been playing Metroid Prime: Remastered. It’s amazing to see the beauty of the world in this game, but kid me must of had way more patience for the backtracking

      The HD version on WiiU or the SD Version on GC/Wii? Are you gonna go for 100% or just a casual playthrough? :)

      Personally TP has to be my favorite Zelda title, I replay it casually every 2 years or so.

        I am Playing on Wii with 480p, I’ll probably 100% when I get the time to do it. It’s awesome to revisit it from time to time :)

          The world is mirror imaged on Wii! I did my first playthrough on wii and second playthrough on WiiU HD and I kept thinking things were on the opposite side of the map. Love this game, fantastic dungeons, just wish bosses were harder

            And it’s mirrored for exactly one reason: motion controlls. Since link is actually a left handed he should swing his sword with his left arm but that would feel off if you are swinging with your right hand. So they simply fliped everything. Yeah the bosses are not hard if you know what to do. But they managed to make them feel epic, regardless of difficult.

    I’m waiting for Baldur’s Gate 3, I’ve been saving myself from spoilers ever since early access started. I got some time off work for the launch of the full version that’s a couple of weeks from now, and plan to sink some good hours into that. Until then I’m wasting time with random games like Brotato, hades, hearthstone battlegrounds, diablo 4, civ 6 and a whole bunch of others.

      I’ve played almost every RPG I own in the past year trying to hold off on one last EA playthrough of BG3. Haven’t touched it since the infamous CONTENT PENDING era and I really want to go from that jank-ass period of EA straight into the full version.

      It’s been really hard.

    Finally got into X4: Foundations after remapping all the controls and I’m about 300 hours down the rabbit hole total and 90 on my current save.

    An Advanced Electronics and Turret Component bottleneck is crippling almost every faction preventing ship and station building.

    I’m desperately trying to get my own stations producing while fighting off a Xenon invasion of the Free Families which has so far claimed 3 systems.

      Navigating the mountains without BB is definitely stressful, but as long as you keep an eye on the weather, you should be good. I think I only had a run in with BTs once. You’re on the tail end of the story, have fun and keep on keeping on. 👍
