Playing through Personal 5 Royal, and I can’t help but draw some similarities between the game and what is happening with Reddit now.

I’ve been playing BOTW since around the release of TOTK and I’m really enjoying it. A lot more than I thought I would. It’s so much fun to explore this world, and I’ve had this game for years!

Other than that, I keep firing up the good old Dawn of War Soulstorm and Men of War Assault Squad 2. Love me some matches against the AI to relax

I’ve been playing Divinity Original Sin II with a buddy. I was pretty hesitant to try it out cuz I haven’t played turn based games before, but I’m really enjoying this one!

I’ve also been not so patient playing Tears of the Kingdom. I’m admittedly a Zelda fanboy and I don’t buy many games on launch so I let myself cheat this one time. I’m enjoying it so far, but there’s just so much to do that it’s overwhelming sometimes.

ToTK looks epic. It’s out me though, or is it 100% Eden Ring but Zelda?

DOS2 is on my backlog of shame. Maybe one day.

To be veeeery honest, Elden Ring is actually Dark Souls but Zelda. One game learned a lot from the other, and they’re both great. The way I understand it, TOTK is expanded from BOTW and makes it even more of a physics engine game, with people engineering their contraptions (usually to torture the poor Koroks lol)

This is probably fair. Just watching people play it some if the details struck me a weirdly similar. Like starting in a location where a big enemy is riding around on horseback. Having large above and underground worlds.

I haven’t played Elden Ring so I can’t speak much to that comparison. The world is huge though, and the enemies are a bit more clever and complex compared to BotW. Certainly not as punishing as Elden Ring, but definitely more challenging than BotW.

You should definitely give DOS2 a go! The story is pretty cool, there are lots of mods you can add if you play on PC, and the combat feels very well balanced.

Been playing through Cult of the Lamb mostly. It’s pretty good aside from some repetitiveness involving your cult management and dungeons, but it’s still got a nice amount of variety to it. Quests are super easy to just ignore if you don’t feeling like completing them too. Looking forward to finishing it soon.

No one said running a cult was going to be easy.

I’m working my way through the Stormblood expansion of Final Fantasy XIV. It’s still way too early to tell if I like the story more or less than Heavensward, but I know anecdotally people find this one to be kinda weak.

I really enjoyed post-Stormblood. Was fairly lukewarm on the main story though.
