Another week, another recommendations thread.
Let everyone know below a game (6+ months old), that you have played recently, are currently playing or intend to play soon.
I have been in a FTL kick lately. I’ve gotten all the achievements but I want at least 4 wins per ship. Slug B kicking my ass.
Elden Ring. I had never played a FromSoft game before so I really had no idea what I was getting into. I played through it seven times with my main character, got the platinum trophy, and then spun up a new character on my sons playstation account to platinum it for him as well.
Definitely got value for my money on that purchase.
Elden Ring really is a nice evolution of the Fromsoft style, I’ve been playing their games since Demon’s Souls launch day on the PS3 and have 100hrs in Elden Ring.
I have no idea how far I got before other games pulled my attention, but I’ve also never finished a Fromsoft game, maybe Elden Ring will be the first one eventually.
For me it was Dark Souls 3 for a long time, it felt like the most easily accessible around the time of it’s release. And then Elden Ring hit, and just blew that and all the other Souls games that FromSoft have made out of the water. Talk about outdoing yourself lol.
I just started playing Divinity Original Sin 2. It’s been a lot of fun so far and I’m enjoying it. I’m considering adding Baldurs Gate 3 to my wishlist since they seem similar even though that is based on D&D.
I just got Quake, and I enjoy every minute of it
I did a lil haul on Steam summer sale - Horizon Zero Dawn, Assassin’s Creed Unity, The Surge 2, The Division and Vampire the Masquerade Bloodlines
I can recommend both The Surge games if you enjoy soulslikes, they’re nice sci-fi variations on Dark Souls gameplay, though definitely easier than fromsoft games
I’ll probably play Unity first unless my missus decides to co-op The Division with me
