Battlebit: Remastered.

Even when the game is occasionally “Spawn, Die, Revive, Die” it is surprisingly fun.

And the thing is, everyone playing it is surprised on how fun it is. The voice-chat often is full of “how is this game this fun!?!”

Large to small maps, varieties of weapons and gadgets, vehicles and destructible buildings.

I’ve been having a ton of fun playing it.

The game has so much going for it, like the building mechanic that seems very barebones compared to something like Ace of Spades is actually pretty well realised. Been using it to make stairs, stop/funnel enemy vehicles, build sniper spots etc.

I’m also playing Disco Elysium! It’s fun but so far has yet to completely grab me as it seems to have done for you.

Personally I couldn’t get into the voice acting, feels jarring and within a few minutes I’m hearing completely mispronounced words. Hard to ignore.

Me too! First time playing it after hearing a lot of good things. The story and gameplay are interesting but what really hooked me is how the game can surprise me with wild and unexpected dialog choices. I love going for whatever feels like the goofiest possible decision just to see what happens next.

GBA Advance Wars… I missed it first time round, so I’m playing it through on my Miyoo Mini Plus. Absolutely perfect handheld game, ideal to grab for a quick half hour mission.

Horizon zero dawn. Really early in the game but I like the mechanics, gameplay, and atmosphere so far.

Oh man, you’re in for a treat. The opening is by far the weakest part of the game so if you’re already enjoying it you’re going to love it when it opens up. Scan everything you can and soak up bits of story as they are given to you. It’s a very slow burn that delivers expert pacing in revealing itself to the player.

I found myself happily mopping up all the sidequests after completion, just because the scenery was so gorgeous. Have you checked out the DLC for Forbidden West yet? Thinking of getting it before I sell the PS5

I was the exact same way. One of the first games I kept playing after the story was done, actually.

Haven’t done the DLC for FW yet, but I do plan to.

Finished bioshock 2 days ago after having it on my backlog for years and years. Was really fun, some aspects do show their age, like the “horror” sequences, which are more funny than scary nowadays, but in general it holds up pretty well imo. It’s really interesting to see how a libertarian dystopia and ayn rand on crack could look like.

Playing bioshock 2 now, while it’s of course still fun, I’m a bit underwhelmed because it’s literally the same game but they made Adam more annoying to get by having to fight off waves of splicers. Looking forward to bioshock infinite.

I am the same situation as you but still playing through Bioshock1. I remembered hating it when I first played but after turning the difficulty down a notch I have been enjoying the story. The 3 games have been sitting in my epic game store since they gave them away a couple of years ago.

Infinite is special, that game consumed my life until I finished it. I always loved bioshock, but infinite really upped the ante.

You might get mixed feelings from 3. Some people loved it, others hated it. Some also thought part 2 was underrated. So there’s that too lol
