The first weekly What Are You Playing? thread!

Vermintide 2 (modified L4D2 in Warhammer: Fantasy), since one kind soul on Lemmy said it now works on Linux too. I've missed a lot of new content and I don't even know where to go most of the times like I just started it. I became kinda rusty since I switched systems, but playing on lower difficulties feels fun too. An hour of runs per evening is where I am at. As I don't have anything tp grind there anymore as I did it all before, I've learnt to smile while loosing in some hilarious ways, and some of these failures make me cackling for a long while.

I am still working my way through Expedition 33. I’m in Act 2 and I’d estimate about half way into that. I’m still absolutely loving it.

I just finished playing Final Fantasy Pixel Remaster and have started Final Fantasy VI Pixel Remaster. I keep checking wikis and forum posts for information, since I hate missing things (especially things that you can't get back to). I think from here on out (I'm in one of the 3 Scenario Selects) I'll keep it as blind as I can.

I finally downloaded Ender Lilies: Quietus of the Knights, and think it's pretty cool. But maybe it's just because I haven't played a Metroidvania in 2 years.

Last but not least, I tried the demo for Big Hops after seeing Giant Bomb's Unfinished video on it. 3D Platformer that feels very good to move around in. Not sure how deep the story will go, or what mechanics they'll be adding as the game progresses, but it's been a delight so far.

E33 turned out to be really long game and I wanted to finish it asap to see what happens. That resulted in a few days or so of a marathon that has physically and mentally exhausted me

Bro. You can't do that. No one can handle that much feels in such a short span.

OP: WITNESS ME!

First Witcher, pretty good so far

[ampersandrew@lemmy.world]

How far are you? I found chapter 2 to be a slog, in particular, but then it picks up right after that.

[emmie@piefed.social]

I was even leveraging weed so that I am not stoned too much to get less immersion but just right to maximise the feelings.

I love I love I love when games hit me in the feels hard as truck. Just hit me you know… well

Great experience, I felt utterly broken. Would play again

If you ever get the urge to replay FF6, the best version (by far) is the fan hack called Brave New World. It removes countless glitches and bugs while also enhancing the level-up, combat, and magic systems, as well as provides a far deeper and more thoughtful quasi-class system (each character has branching 'classes' based on which equips/magicites you allow them, providing much better thought out synergies than the original).

As someone who has loved this game for 20+ years now, BNW is very easily the greatest version out there. Def give it a try if you want to see this game re-raised to its fullest potential!

Playing Core Keeper with no wiki. Having a blast, didn’t realize how much content the game has now.
I need to play without a wiki more often. Much more fun.

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.

[meant2live218@lemmy.world]

Thanks! Would you recommend it for someone's first playthrough, or only for subsequent replays?

Just started playing Splitgate 2!
Didn't really pay too much attention when it got announced, but I saw it was live last night and gave it a try.

As a long time Halo/Arena Shooter fan, this game really scratches a certain itch. The gameplay is crisp, the art direction is fun, and I had a blast. Now I just need to get better at using my portals in game...

Something that stood out to me is that the install (at least on Xbox) was only 17gb! After so many gigantic games, it's nice to have one with a manageable file size.

[crusa187@lemmy.ml]

Deadlock, and too much of it at that.

In PoE 1 new league waiting room (at last!), drops 6/13

[justdaveisfine@midwest.social]

Its been awhile since I've played, but you should get a few Portcrystals around mid-game, and combined with the eternal ferrystone will help traveling around significantly.

[lettywhiterock@lemmy.world]

Ffxiv since the relic weapon stuff is out. Getting pretty far in that grind.

Also replaying symphony of the night. Just been in the mood for it. Haven't really been playing anything new lately. Deltarune chapter 3 & 4 are out and I'll start playing them tonight, but I'm at work for the time being sadly.

[cheesenoodle@lemmy.world]

Bit of warframe, a lot of deeprock and some stellaris when I have that much free time.

[quazatron@lemmy.world]

I've sunk nearly 800 hours on it.

Good luck.

[quazatron@lemmy.world]

Finally installed Doom 2016. It's nice, but the gameplay is not clicking with me.

[swelter_spark@reddthat.com]

I've been playing Blue Prince. It's fun.

Oh nice. Just remember to hydrate and get some sleep. It’s so easy to lose hours to that game!
