Starfield. Trying to stay away from some of the negativity online about it to not to make me aware of my own poor standards and am loving it so far.
I’m convinced there’s so much negativity online because the people who are enjoying it are so sucked in that we aren’t online.
I already have 32 hours. 😬
Baldur’s Gate 3. Still my first run with a friend, we do not want this to end at all. We take our time as much as we can, exploring everything. It’s so much fun, we’re absolutely into the story.
I can’t imagine the feeling of emptiness once we finish this.
I’m enjoying every minute of BG3. Taking it slow and savoring it. Explore an area, finish an encounter, long rest and then stop.
Similar experience here. The game is very impressive and immersive.
I was halfway in ACT II only to realize that I haven’t even met with Gale (a companion that you can recruit). I went back to do the Gale’s quest recently and discovered what practically counted for me as 10 hours of new content in ACT I.
Now, I think I concluded the story lines of ACT I and can move back to ACT II.
Still playing Slay The Spire and Hexcells as my “podcast games”.
Started Halls of Torment. Really cool aesthetically and some interesting boss designs. Hope it distinguishes itself more from Vampire Survivors though. Especially in having more incentives to keep playing than “numbers go up”. There are some minor story things and unique aspects of some maps that I think could really set this game apart.
Also playing Super Mario Sunshine. Honestly probably my least favorite 3D Mario to date. Besides feeling very clumsy it has some pretty sloppy level design here and there. Still a decent game, but having played Odyssey this game feels very dated.
I do feel Halls of Torment does a good job of separating itself from Vampire Survivors. There is actual aiming and an attack button if you want and there’s Diablo style gear you can equip before and during runs.
What it is not good at is visual clarity. I very frequently take damage or even die because I couldn’t see something over all the stuff my character was throwing out. VS also has this problem but it’s lessened by the fact that by that point everything’s probably dead in 2 seconds anyways.
Dusk, not sure if anyone here knows about it though. Pretty good game.
