Still busy with S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2 since it launched and got dragged into Helldivers 2 by the friends.
My friends and I are doing Dungeons of Eternity this month. We’ve had three on at once but tomorrow is the first time all four of us will be on together. Excited!
Re-re-replaying Deus Ex: Mankind Divided.
Psychonauts 2. I picked it up for 80% off during the autumn Steam sale and just getting around to playing it.
I also picked up It Takes Two and have been playing that with my wife.
I played Alan Wake 2 last winter on my Steam Deck, fearing I would get spoilers before I build my PC. Now that I have built it, I will proceed with The Final Draft and the DLCs.
Continuing Metaphor: ReFantazio. It’s the most consistently polished game Atlus made (that I played) in years, though maybe SMT VV has a chance once I get to it. The only ones that come to mind are Persona 5/Royal (however much I prefer P3 and P4), and Etrian Odyssey V. Both of which had longer development times compared to their series, who knew?
My only complaint is that it doesn’t have any 10/10 aspect that I’d love, most of my favourite games are somewhat flawed anyway, as long as they have that special aspect that clicks. But then, Persona 3 had nothing like that until the endgame, so there’s still time for it to surprise me.
All of my favourite games, artists, movies, and anything else I’m interested in all have something that I don’t consider 10/10 so I definitely see what you mean
To clarify, I meant that I’m fine with multiple things not being 10/10 (I was thinking of Metaphor as a 9/10 across the board, assuming a 10/10 is something I say about things very rarely) as long as some one thing is, like just the ending or just gameplay. I’m not consisent with that though anyways, I thought that Dark Souls 1 really does have 10/10 world exploration early on, yet I don’t like it because of a lot of other problems. It’s all really just gut feelings in the end, it was the best way I could explain why Metaphor feels like it’s missing something.
Dishonoured, Uncharted Collection
Making a second attempt to get into Mass Effect for the first time, at least until Hades 2 gets out of early access or MH Wilds comes out
Play the Legendary Edition if you can. Assuming you’re starting with the first game, there are massive quality of life improvements in that one.
I get why most people prefer the legendary remaster of the first game to the original, but I would have liked it if they’d carried a lot of the design and narative choices into the sequels. EA bought Bioware in 2007, and I think it shows, but I love jank so perhaps I’m not the most impartial judge.
I’m currently playing echoes of wisdom and elder scrolls: oblivion.
Although I drunkenly played GTA4 while listening to early 2000s crunk rap in memory of it being 25 years since 2000
next get drunk and play oblivion while listening to young scrolls
