Talking point - what have you been playing lately?

Enjoying me some Ultimate Zombie Defense 2.

Quoting: Cyril

Quoting: Tethys84I went to Nexusmods to see what mods there were for Stellar Blade, as I do for most games I buy... Big mistake... just gross.

I mean, what did you expect? I'm not really surprised. ^^

Fair point.

The Simpsons: Tapped Out via Project Springfield on my Android phone. EA shut the servers down, but the private server is just as good and has unlimited donuts and money. Mmm... Premium currency. lol

I had to sell my Steam Deck. D:

Been on a Bitburner binge lately, as well as some Valheim with my kids. Plus the odd Factorio and RimWorld sessions.

And of course my go-to game when I want to play something, but don't know what: Sid Meier's Civilization. The only game that's been installed on all my PCs since I got it in 1992 (thank you DosBox (staging)).

I had some time off a couple of weeks ago, and pulled the trigger on Avowed. Absolutely stunning game - like a cross between Skyrim's open world and interesting characters, and Dark Messiah of Might and Magic's visceral combat. The dodge, block, attack almost feels souls-like at times, and some of the fights are just absolutely immense. Incredibly fun game.

Otherwise, just Path of Exile 2 as usual, but the Abyssal League finished a few days ago, and the new Last Druid expansion launches tonight, with a new league kicking off. Can't wait. PoE2 is incredible, I love it.

Eriksholm: The Stolen Dream, Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 (I find it too tiring to play with its incessant boss battles, so I stopped playing at the beginning of Chapter II), The Last of Us Part II Remastered, Red Dead Redemption 2 (that I liked very much !!).

ARC tempted me, but I didn't buy it because it doesn't offer PVE...

I got distracted playing Skyrim for a bit, but I returned to Trails in the Sky FC (the remake) so I can finish it. I'm on the Final Chapter, and I should finish it this weekend.

After that, I'll either finish SRW Y, or go back to Skyrim. I was going to go Morrowind->Oblivion Remastered->Skyrim, but I was setting up my character in each and ended up getting caught up exploring in Skyrim. So, I guess I'll be doing Skyrim first.

yay! Glad you're enjoying Avowed. It's sooooooo good. And they just did an enormous update right? I absolutely ADORE the world of Eora and they did a great job with all the lore in this one as well.

Loved the first one, was put off buying 2 when it came out. How's it playing these days?

I'm playing The Planet Crafter again, since the new Toxicity DLC came out.

Quoting: Jarmer

Quoting: notinuseI've been playing Legend of Grimrock 2. I like old-type dungeon crawls similar to Dungeon Master, and Grimrock 2 adds outdoor areas that work better than I expected. Having a lot of fun crawling around the sewers. :smile:

This is high on my list! You think it'd be good on the Deck? Or is a mouse keyboard better?

I'm not sure. I've never played it on a console or using a controller. Only played it using a keyboard and mouse, the game works well that way.

I have started playing fallout 4 with mods .
but unfortunately of the 113 mods only 89 working and only via the original launcher(f4se always crashes when i load the first save mission).Happy Christmas to everyone.

Last week, I briefly went through Miasmata (wine), Middle-Earth: Shadow of Mordor GOTY (native), Monkey Island 2 Special Edition: Le Chuck's Revenge (wine), Monster Truck Madness (wine now crashes), and Moonlighter (native).

I am going thru all the games I own (now at letter 'M' as first letter of title) to re-visit and meticulously record the progress and any hints that can help me get back to the game after a long gap.

Learned my lesson with one game I tried to get back to after several years only to find that I couldn't even progress successfully without having to start from scratch to go back through the tutorials and re-learn the techniques to gather resources so I can defeat a boss which I am stuck at.

Monster Truck Madness used to work a few years ago last time I played, but now crashes in wine 10.x, or even wine 6.x which I keep around for some games. I have no inclination to build much older wine with 16-bit code (I don't think that's even possible with latest Linux distro) so I'll have to give up on this game. I still have license for Windows 95 and kept the laptop part that goes with it, but I highly doubt I will allocate a disk image on my file system for that and waste time maintaining it.

I'm still more into OSRS
in comparison, I've got around 2500h in Path of Exile over around four years, I played 1700h in OSRS over approx one year.
But beside that: A little bit Melvor Idle, some Zachtronics Solitaire Collection, not much else.

Increlution as a semi idle game.

Silksong but not as frantically.

Dispatch, which is really pretty but requires more attention than I can sometimes give it.

Wildfire is a semi idle tower defense from Itch.

Finally got around to buying Tunic. What a great game! Just finished it, and now working on Clair Obscur.

With family visiting since November mostly been playing Capcom vs SNK & Crazy Taxi on ReDream. I did start Yooka-Laylee on Steam with my wife. We are still on the 1st world trying to beat that race lol

OMG have such a fun time. That was my game of the year in whatever year it came out. My friend and I played it coop on the couch on the big screen tv, and it was such a blast trying to decipher the manual and explore the world!

We loved it so much we both wound up buying the physical print manual.
