The first weekly What Are You Playing? thread!

[agent_nycto@lemmy.world]

Finished playing through Atomic Heart, and because of that wanted to play a game that was, you know, actually fun instead of a miserable slog, so I've been playing Crab Champions and playing the original BioShock again for the millionth time. Sometimes Sea of Thieves.

Sword Saint is the single most satisfying boss victory I've ever experienced, no action game NPC has ever made me feel more like I was being outskilled by an actual person

Picked up Star of Providence this past weekend and I'm hooked, the pause menu music has been looping in my head nonstop since

Working my way through act 2 of Baldur's Gate 3. I feel like I've done just about everything in the Temple of Shar except the ::: spoiler spoiler
fight against Balthazar.
:::I tried it a couple times but got whooped a little too easily. Shadowheart is a beast though. She's usually the last one alive when I try it. She can take out all the mobs by herself. It's gonna take the whole squad to win the fight. I need to get my party up a level or two. Me being a defenseless bard is pretty tough. In all my attempts I've been sniped turn one with little recourse to get revived.

Then on top of that I've put time in AI Wars 2 and fighting games. AI Wars 2 is so cool. Complete information overload and a wonky UI but it's got the addicting qualities I like in video games.

Tekken has been calling me as like a stress reliever. Then the Marvel announcement yesterday made me fire up Strive and SF6. I might put real effort into Strive this time. I've always wanted to but it's never quite clicked like SF, and Tekken. And yes I installed DBFZ out of sheer joy yesterday. That rollback better be good.

I'm playing Oblivion Remaster. I never played it before, so I don't have any nostalgia for it. But, its the first Bethesda game I've tried that has actually grabbed me. It's just super charming and immersive to me. All I have left for my current character is the main quest and the Shivering Isles. I didn't do all the guilds or explore everything - I'm saving some stuff to do on my next character that I'm already planning.

[jakeroxs@sh.itjust.works]

Abiotic Factor, Nightreign a little, Outlast Trials, Monster Train 2, Across the Obelisk

Just wait till you find out about the puzzles that require certain rooms to spawn in certain places so you can get the chance to spawn a special room from that room.

Or that some rooms being drafted in certain squares will be changed with key puzzle information now visible.

I have been playing a lot of Vintage Story. It's been drawing me away from "finishing" Blue Prince and really digging into Clair Obscur: Expedition 33. They're all so good, I just don't have enough hours in the day to actually play everything. Stupid having a job and adult responsibilities.

[merida_belle@lemmy.world]

I recently finished Horizon Forbidden West and immediately started Oblivion Remastered. It’s just as good as I remember it and I’m enjoying exploring Cyrodiil all over again.

BLUE PRINCE! IT IS SO GOOD!

It's a puzzle game like Myst, and a puzzle game like a board game sort of. So it has short term and long term puzzles. It's so good! I'm obsessed.

I've been wrapping up endgame dungeons in Clair Obscur this week, having played through the story last week. I was a big PS1 final fantasy fan as a kid that later got into dark souls/Sekiro, so this game hit so hard for me. I can't recommend it strongly enough if you've been a fan of these genres.

[overload@sopuli.xyz]

Blue Prince was incredible. Any game where you need to keep a physical notepad next to you gets points in my book. If you've not played Return of the Obra Dinn I'd rec that for that same experience.

[jackbydev@programming.dev]

I did play Obra Dinn! I loved it.

[blomvik@sopuli.xyz]

I am playing Drove and really loving it. Most likely done with the first chapter.
The Gothic inspiration is clear, but it plays entirely differently. Gonna join the Remnants as they were more playfully written.

[astrolightz@lemmy.world]

Been playing a heavily-modded playthrough of Minecraft. Am enjoying building up my world to look alive.

[ampersandrew@lemmy.world]

Strive is so good. Any top 8 of that game is just full of people using the RC system in really clever ways.

[blomvik@sopuli.xyz]

I think there's 5 movable stones, and only one missable. But very few stationary ones. If it's nagging you enough, there's some mods, one gives infinite stamina outside combat.

And remember: Wolfs hunt in packs!

[blomvik@sopuli.xyz]

I am som enthralled by Drova, you should give the Myrtana: Archolos mod a try. Really liked it.

[keegen@lemmy.zip]

Worry not, I already played it long ago! I'm patiently and eagerly waiting for them to release the Mod of The Decade edition to re-play it again, I'll definitely try the city guard path and I'm very excited to see what the teased water mage path will be.

[swelter_spark@reddthat.com]

I'm working on the letter puzzle related to the pictures right now. Definitely couldn't remember that without writing it down.
