Simple thread to share games you are playing. Octopath Traveler II Such a cozy little jrpg. I never got the chance to play the first game, but I have found...

Colgatto

Just finished Void Stranger, it was really great. This is one block-pushing game that will really stay with me.

It's not an extremely long game, but it did surprise me with its depth.
For anyone that wants to play it, I'd advise to arm yourself with a pen and notebook, and refrain to check on wikis or online help until you're quite advanced. Despite what you may feel during gameplay, there is nothing that you can miss that you can't easily fix later.
At some point you'll probably need to look up some help on mid an endgame puzzles. I absolutely did not regret helping myself with the wiki by the end, it sped up a few time-consuming tasks and assured me I was on the right track for the most complicated mysteries. But by that time I was pleasantly surprised by how ambitious this game made by two people had been.

Also, I realized Super Eyepatch Wolf released a video about Void Stranger two or three days after I finished playing. Do yourself a favor and don't watch it (if that even occured to you).

I'm currently playing enter the gungeon and blue revolver

Ayayaya

The System Shock 2 Remaster dropped kind of recently and I've been playing it with a friend. I don't quite like how the game now looks, it somehow managed to look more cartoony now, but the actual gameplay itself is of course still fantastic.
I also didn't wanna pay for it so I took my friend's copy and used Goldberg and Steamless so we could play locally. Its the first time I've done that so it was interesting, it really is as easy as everyone says.

So I finally bought steam deck.
2 work trips convinced me to get it finally.
At home its completely unused but when im going somewhere i bring it and almost exclusively play art of rally on it.

Outside of that, for the last month I have been playing fallout 76
and genuinely its good. Its fallout4 2 electric boogaloo.
I also purchased EYE divine cybermancy and peripeteia but ive been stuck just playing fallout

Ross_R newest TXR is leaving early access this september.As someone who purchased the game on launch it is great and highly recommend it.
If you are into wangan racers you might also enjoy nightrunners.
this is a spiritual successor to TXR before genki announced new TXR. Its being developed by single dev and there is only demo out atm.

though you might be somewhat dissapointed with new TXR since its japanese cars only and apparently genki confirmed this.

Ayayaya looks good I should get it. or maybe just get the remake instead.
doesnt matter the version I should play system shock

Still rollin' down the highways a month later. In part because I do not have much time to play, in part because the game is long. A bit too long, actually. And kinda jank. I'm thinking about taking a break, but... the last thing I need is yet another unfinished game in my backlog.
On the plus side, it's not a disaster and fun enough. For a gearhead like me, at least.

You got that right. I'd rather go for TXR3 next, since it has Boss Mustang, 80's Firebird and Corvette.
It ain't no fun if I can't dominate the final boss with a muscle car.

Shameful to say, but i've been playing liveservice games in my free time, particularly Dead By Daylight. It's a fun game with developers who cant seem to decide what direction they want to take the game.. not to mention its bugs.
I do however enjoy playing both Survivors and Killers. Just my luck though, they announced they are reworking my favourite killer, Michael Myers and doing it in a way that I think gets his character and play-style wrong... So I probably won't play him after they finish the rework 🙁

Steam Deck is great, I don't use mine nearly enough but it handles anything I throw at it decently well. I definitely recommend GRID auto sport for it if you haven't played that already

I'm playing Half-Life 2 on hard difficulty. I am at the very start of the We Don't Go to Ravenholm chapter. This, Opposing Force, Half-Life 1, Blue Shift, and the Half-Life 2 episodes are all great games everyone should play.

I took a break from TXR0 in order to play The Red Lantern for a bit.
The game has it's problems, and I shot a video to talk about that, but who needs my video, right?
Have some screenshots instead.

Exodite

I played some fairly spooky stuff this season, recapping it here.
Vampire Savior is a classic, I got it set back up again and beat the arcade a couple times. It's probably my favorite fighting game and should check if there's any local scenes near me.
Psychopomp was pure schizo, the dungeon crawling felt a little unintuitive at first but once I got the hang of it I enjoyed the aesthetic. The sequel got announced right after I finished, so I'm looking forward to that now too.
Finished off with the OG Splatterhouse, which I still need to beat. Very fun side-scroller with a strong classic horror aesthetic, pretty spooky. Never looking at a plank of wood without imagining braining a some demon with it.

Aero

I had a really long review written out for stellar blade and then lost it when I turned off my phone. Stellar (haha) music, good combat, eh gameplay, terrible story and writing. Go play it, it's a pretty good game, especially if you skip the side quests after filling up lily's meter

Given that I can play through terrible games if they have a decent story, I feel like this is a complete opposite of what I want to play...
Recently I got through Glitchpunk even though the game was full of bugs that I had to deal with, and the gameplay was mediocre. But since the story was good and the aethetics were on target, I felt like going through with it. Without a story and writing though - yeah, I don't think so...
Perils of treating games like books or movies, I guess. Thing gotta have a plot you can follow.

I have been trying to play classic games (SNES-era) like The Legend of Zelda: A link to the past, Super Mario World and maybe more, to see what is it about this games that makes it so renowned and remembered by people.

and its been fun playing zelda blind with no guide or anything except for searching where to go to find the third dungeon in the dark world (i feel so angry when i found out that you just have to go to the lost woods to find the portal to the dark forest).

and ive been surprised by how the moving feels in super mario world, because so far i've just only played platformer games like megaman x and zero where the movement i think has no momentum conservation, so it feels constant whereas super mario world it feels like the movement are more granular, kinda like slipping on ice a little bit, i dont know if i like it or not, it requires more effort to placing your character where you want it to be.
