@junipersky Hi! It’s not a difficult game, as far in as I am. It’s a puzzle platformer, to a degree, but the jumps are all programmed in, it’s not skill-reliant. You just pivot the camera to where you see an ‘x’ and that’s a spot you can jump to.
ETA: The only slightly difficult parts I’ve found are “running” sequences where you have to hold a button down and try to avoid <spoiler>. That’s about it. They last a minute or two at most.

@Selira Whoever made the opening cutscene of Stray is an emotional terrorist.
-
I’ll go with currently or heavy rotation at the moment…
Hollow Knight - It’s a cute little bug knight and the community there are so nice.
CK3 - I mean duh
Rimworld - I have modded this game far too much. There is a set of medieval mods I want to try for extra challenge.
Diplomacy is Not an Option - Picked this up after winning a competition, kinda like Totally Accurate Battle Simulator meets Age of Empires
Project Zomboid - Smash zombies, survive.
Sekiro - Clearly I hate myself, finished Elden Ring. Picked this up afterwards.Also Dead by Daylight because I am a monster.
I always ramble about Inscryption being a really good, underrated game. Also been playing some Gwent: Rogue Mage which is the single player version of that game in Witcher 3. I could keep going on but this got long enough.
Oh yeah and Stray is tomorrow \o/

I’m still working on P3, but this has been one of my favorite games for years. Silksong soon!!

It took me a little while to get it as I am a bit of a potato at times. Also was playing Sekiro at the same time which has a very different fighting style. But, yeah. I should have played this years ago. I want a little hollow knight tattoo hitting a bug creature with his needle.

@Roz Have you played any Ace Attorney games?
-
I’m really looking forward to the amount of Final Fantasy we have in the coming 6-18 months.
- Final Fantasy VII: Crisis Core remake, because I never got to play the PSP version.
- Final Fantasy VII: Ever Crisis (Probably gonna be mobile garbage, buuuut the idea of just having an easily digestible way to catch up on the story sounds appealing.)
- Final Fantasy XVI, I can’t not be excited for Yoshi-P’s mainline effort, even if I’m a bit sad that it’s continuing the tradition of throwing out ATB. I miss ATB.
- And Final Fantasy VII Remake: Rebirth, because I enjoyed the former a lot and really want to see where this new entry takes us. I was getting nostalgia-weepies for most of FFVII: Remake.

I played a number of the original ones on my phone during my commute back when I lived in NYC! I actually bought the newest one, the prequel games? And they’re fun, but sitting at an actual computer, I found myself wishing there was voice acting, and that I could move a bit quicker through stuff.

I am soooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo excited for XVI. ALMOST as much as I am 6.2. ^^
-
Right now I’m playing mostly Surviving Mars, which is not the best basebuilder game in the world. But I find it relaxing. It also reinforces my belief that I don’t wanna live on Mars.
I’m also playing Star Traders: Frontiers. It’s a pretty good game. You fly around, trade, fight, do missions, and try not to die. At anything but the lowest difficulties, the last part is a real big ask.
-
Lately I’m playing “How to Break Things with Programming”, with the occasional jaunt into FF7R since I don’t own a PS5 and just recently acquired it from its release on Steam. I flirt with FF14 but I’ve grown a bit apathetic about it for some reason. I’m not sure why; I think I’ve changed to care mostly about the story progression, or I’ve burnt out on the gameplay loop. I don’t really know, but there you have it.
-
No Man’s Sky just released another update. This one (and the accompanying expedition) look pretty nifty.
-
There’s a few games that I seem to keep on regular rotation:
- Conan
- 7D2D
- Ark
- No Man’s Sky
- Cyberpunk 2077
- Subsistence
- V Rising
- Valheim
I’ve also had my eye on Stray because, well. Cats.
-
i picked up stray IMMEDIATELY and i’m probably gonna start streaming it TONIGHT in fact
because i’m excited about KIBBY
-
@Roz Meowmi!
-
i am trying to replay through the Fable games. after playing Fable I and liking it just as much as I remember, i am trying to play through Fable II, and i just-- find it so clunky? and boring?
-
Update: I bought Stray. I do not regret this choice.
-
Stray is so good! I love it!
