What have you all been playing?
I finally finished avowed. I enjoyed my time with it quite a bit but I’m happy it’s done.
I also ended up being productive with my backlog and best both Cuphead and Jusant. Cuphead was great but I was ultimately disappointed in Jusant
Castlevania: Aria of Sorrow. I’ve been playing through the Castlevania Advance collection on Steam and this is the next one up. I’m up to the fight with Death but he’s stomping me into the ground so I either need to level up some more or experiment with different souls.
I’m processing some heavy grief at the moment so I snagged a copy of Spiritfarer during the Spring sale, it gives me a cozy feeling when I play. Was pretty deep into Resident Evil Village but needed a break. Also, I’m kind of always playing Skyrim to some degree hahaha
Monster Hunter Wilds.
Old School RuneScape, MTG Arena and tested out Hearthstone but not completely sold yet.
I am getting way deeper into OSRS. I feel like this could be a main game for a long time. The experience is so different from other gaming experiences. You are never done, and it is not really a question of going faster. The slower you go, the more you plan ahead, and executing that plan is smoother and more rewarding. Also you end up getting pleasantly distracted a lot, and that’s fine. No rush. It is a slow game. Currently not using guides much, I enjoy the organic discovery for now.
MTGA is what it is (amazing). I am playing more bo3 instead of bo1 which is a lot more fun for me.
Hearthstone seems like a mess of overpowered cards. Sure I imagine eventually you get to know the meta, but compared to MTGA were you after the extensive tutorial can actually wim even with starter decks on lower ranks this just seems very stcked in favor of those with better cards that I am not sure you can reliably plan against, but maybe I should just read about the meta some more. Don’t want to discard it yet.
I’ve been finishing up random challenges in monster hunter wilds. There’s not much left on the ‘achievable without rng shenanigans’ list for me to get, so I’ve started planning for the next one.
Metal bringer. It’s a looter rogue lite in which you play as the daughter of amazing science family whose legacy has been besmirched or something, causing you to have to get out into a world of bots that need some good 'sploding.
The game loop eventually leads to starting with a massive mech and trashing the early game. The boss designs and weapons are really nice though some of the areas give me a headache.
