The first weekly What Are You Playing? thread!
-
Hey everyone! I have no power in here, have not checked if anyone has started one of these but I feel like being the change I want to see in the world.
So! What are you playing this week?
I just started off Claire Obscure Expedition 33, and at the same time, have been getting my girlfriend to slowly wean off of Guilty Gear Strive and try out older fighter games like Guilty Gear XX and a more recent one, BlazBlueCrossTag (both to great success)
Also still haven't beat the first major boss of Nightreign, not looking forward to the trashtalk from friends after the nerf because they did it first
Abiotic Factor, Nightreign a little, Outlast Trials, Monster Train 2, Across the Obelisk

Oh look, another day where I barely ever even got rooms that had more than one door, and now that my winding path has hit a dead end all my resources are useless. Next day I guess.
wrote last edited by [email protected]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.

wrote last edited by [email protected]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.

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.

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.

I did play Obra Dinn! I loved it.

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. -

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

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

I've only found two that were movable. I don't know if I'm somehow missing them or something? I think I'm a decent way into the game. I'm at the point where you actually go into the castle and talk to the duke or whatever.
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!

I finished my second playthrough of Drova - Forsaken Kin (wanted to see both of the camps + experience the new content added with the last patch) somewhat recently and it gave me the itch to go back and replay the first two games from the Gothic series. I'm already done with Night of the Raven and making my way through the first game now. Getting them to run smoothly on Linux was a bit of a process but other than that they still hold up incredibly well, at least in my incredibly biased view.
I am som enthralled by Drova, you should give the Myrtana: Archolos mod a try. Really liked it.

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.

I loved Blue Prince. It's still putting up a good fight for my personal GOTY despite having just finished and loved Clair Obscur.
Play it, take notes, enjoy it. Games like it don't come along often.
I'm working on the letter puzzle related to the pictures right now. Definitely couldn't remember that without writing it down.

Fun! Keeping a notebook is like half the fun of Blue Prince, at least it was for me. Same with Obra Dinn. I ended up with like 50 pages of notes for Blue Prince, as well as hundreds of screenshots.
