Tell us what game you are currently, or recently played, greater than 6+ months old.
If the game happens to be on sale, a link would be a plus.
I was playing a lot of WWF No Mercy recently. Absolutely a gem of a game, it’s very fun despite the wonky N64 control scheme. Kid me would’ve probably loved this game back in the day, but alas.
Assassin’s Creed Origins, I picked up the 3 pack last year of Origins, Valhalla, and Odyssey on sale, and am just having the time to sit down to play Origins.
Just started The Outer Worlds, which I got free on EGS during the holiday.
I love the aesthetics and voice acting. The movement feels a bit floaty, but it’s alright. At least the configuration of the controls is intuitive.
I know some people who’ve played it. Some say they really enjoyed it, while others said it was rather bland. I’m really enjoying it so far, but I’m not too far in. It seems like a game where I could get caught up in the side quests without ever advancing in the main quest.
I loved it when I played it, but that was before I had played any Mass Effect games. Now that I’ve played Mass Effect, I don’t know that I would have liked Outer Worlds as much as I did. I wouldn’t be surpised if that’s where the differing opinions come from: those who’ve played Mass Effect vs those that haven’t.
I’m in luck then because I never could get Mass Effect to create saves on my PC for some reason.
I played ME1 years ago. It was decent overall, but I would hardly call it exceptional.
I remember a little. Just that story was mostly good, main quests okayish, side quests mostly terrible and repetitive. It always felt like cheap knock off of KotOR (cheap in content, not presentation).
Everyone was hyping the game so hard I was quite disappointed in the end. So disappointed I haven’t even started ME2 despite having it in library. And it probably won’t ever happen, especially when I discovered they ditched the bare minimum RPG elements ME1 had.
I’ve been replaying Subnautica. It feels like a completely different game the second time around, but still fun. Plus they’ve got it running much better now than it was on launch.
Had a blast playing Subnautica last year.
I then waited to start playing Subnautica: Below Zero on the Steamdeck while on a flight for a work trip and that was a great experience.
The story hadn’t gripped me as much though.
Played it for a few weeks, but eventually lost a few days worth of progress when the deck reset and I hadn’t saved in a while so I haven’t gone back to it just yet because I was bummed.
It’s been long enough that I could get back into it without unconsciously trying to retrace my exact steps. Thanks for reminding me about Subnautica.
I‘m mainly playing Black Ops III Zombies, Spiral Knights, DOOM (2016) multiplayer, and Genshin right now.
Out of these I can recommend DOOM the most, it does have notorious cheaters though that nobody‘s banning. You‘ll know once you get oneshot by guns you shouldn‘t get oneshot by.
Black Ops is fun but ridiculously expensive for its age. Spiral Knights is fun if you have friends to play with cause it‘s pretty dead. Genshin‘s Genshin.
