What are you all playing! I beat thousand year door! Really amazing game. I understand why it is so beloved.

I also started and am almost done with the original fallout. Probably the 20th time I’ve tried to get into it and I was actually able to this time! Once I’m done with that I want to start Animal Well

Bought it on sale earlier this year alongside Palworld and Helldivers 2. You might notice why I still haven’t started it.

I’ve kinda ruined scary games for myself.

I’ve been leaving my guns in the stash because so far, kiting around enemies is just more efficient, and it frees up inventory space.

Last time I properly shat my pants was the giant baby in REVillage… The dollhouse was pretty cool, too.

I’m just loving the crap out of the atmosphere, art, mystery and lore in Signalis.

Couldn’t participate in these threads for a while, because it would have been the same game over and over again. But now I’m finally free! I beat Baldurs Gate 3 with a 150+ hours resist dark urge run.

I started Immortals of Aveum as a palate cleanser. Pretty decent FPS with a cool story and lots of secrets.

I’m about 60% through Ori and the Blind forest. Its curently scratching an itch I have for metroidvania games.

However, I learned that instead of patching the original game or releasing a DLC, they just made a re-release and im not buying the game a second time just for a new area and some improved QoL with fast travel.

I’m further behind in Ori but I’m enjoying it greatly. I’m not a big metroidvania aficionado, but I played and loved Hollow Knight despite it’s difficulty (some of the bosses really tested my tolerance for punishment). I appreciate that Ori is (so far) a more accessible game.

I started Ori specifically because I didnt want to endlessly throw myself at Soul Master and the Watcher Knights again.

Watcher Knights I think are near the top of my list. I just rewatched my recording of beating them and I was fumbling so badly lol. It’s obvious I’m running with the “pure desperation” tactic rather a more skillful approach, but it finally managed to work out.

I was addicted to exploring that world but I am satisfied with the one playthrough I think.

My wife was playing Ori around its release, we both got stuck on the first tree escape, where it floods. Absolutely massive difficulty spike for a relatively chill game to that point. Beautiful game though and I love the sound track.

Currently playing Dark Souls 3. Haven’t played it before, so I guess it’s a good time to check it off the list. I guess I’m near the end now.

I’m a bit disappointed by its linearity. It’s way more linear compared to Dark Souls. It’s also pretty easy compared to Elden Ring. I’m just using a base build. Mostly leveling up on strength stat without much thought.

I’m still enjoying the game though.

I think DS3 is great in its own way and has some awesome areas, but it’s hard to compare anything to the first half of Dark Souls. That level design is just something else.

What I like about DS3 compared to ER is there are a lot less delayed attacks and fakeouts. I get that FromSoft needs to constantly up the challenge but it makes it harder to get the same kind of enjoyable combat flow, at least for me. DS3 has some bosses that are just so enjoyable, even though they’re not super hard.

Oh and, don’t know if you’ve done them yet but the DLCs should be more challenging than the main game, if that’s what you’re after.
