Hey folks, just checking in to see what everyone is playing this week! Did you find a hidden gem or are you jamming on a classic? Let us know what you’re playing and what you think of it.
Cyberpunk 2077. Damn good game.
Just finished playing this for the first time. Loved it wished there were more in world missions to do as I enjoyed the city.
I’m doing another playthrough on hardest difficulty while only leveling intelligence perks. So, all I do is use smart guns and quick hacks. It’s a very different way to play.
Finished Batman: Arkham Asylum yesterday. Also started Witcher 3 a while ago and have yet to finish that.
Two Bonafide classics!

Not to dissuade you from exploring Skyrim some more, but if you’ve never tried Enderal it’s completely amazing. Fan-made game using Skyrim engine and assets, free, and intense. Just, uh, don’t play the intro around those who scare easily.

But that’s me 😭
Maybe skip the whole game, then, it gets dark.

SMT Nocturne, it looks as if I’m about to battle with the four horsemen of the apocalypse.
Old game I know, but old is great 👍
I ‘finished’ Symphony of the Night the other day. By which I mean I got the bad ending, rather than doing some extra stuff to unlock the inverted castle. Should I go back and do that? Maybe at some point.
I’m very close to finishing Tears of the Kingdom, and I’ve also started a new playthough of New Vegas on my Steam Deck. Plenty to keep me busy!
Getting the bad ending is, at most, half of the content of that game. So yes! You should finish it
This is probably an irrational annoyance, but I don’t like how finding the inverted castle is near impossible without a guide. I like logical puzzles! So that put me off slightly. I will go back and play through it eventually though.
SotN is one of the best games of all time. The GBA Castlevanias are good as well. Thinking of Castlevania always reminds me of that multiplayer co-op CV game on XBL that I wish was still around… Harmony of Despair.
Oh man, I just found a Unity port of Harmony of Despair with an active community playing it!
the very opening of the mirror castle is pretty cool so you should do it
Slay the Princess
What a crazy, unexpected gem. Without spoiling anything, it’s a hand-animated interactive narrative game with strong Stanley Parable influences.
That came across my recommendation queue the other day - despite my dislike for horror, it looks interesting enough that I might check it out!
I don’t think I would classify it as a horror game really. It’s got some gritty subjects that it dives into and there are a few storylines that can be a bit gruesome, but overall it wasn’t really scary. It was more witty and philosophical at its core.
I watched a stream of someone who played through every ending because the game is just captivating and so well done.
Appreciate the feedback, thanks!
Unfortunately haven’t had much time to play but i’ve been playing elden ring again. I’m juat getting to Morgott. And witcher 3 (which i’ve had for probably 6 years now and never beat) i’m in skellige trying to finish the quest where we help them figure out who should be the next leader
I think I will continue playing Dark Souls Remastered. I am not that far at all. The second boss is killing my nerves.
Or I continue with Minecraft: Create above and beyond Modpack
I’m still playing Dragon Quest IV: Chapters of the Chosen. I’m enjoying the game more now. I thought I had finished chapter 2 but it turns out there was a lot more to do! I find the characters more interesting to play now that they’re higher levels and have more spells and gear. The story is developing more too and it’s looking good.
I’ve been playing Valheim with a buddy as well and it’s been a blast. Combat and exploring the open world are great fun. I could easily let myself get lost in this game until dawn if I wanted.
Which version of DQIV are you playing?

Tony Hawk 1+2. Just found out the multiplayer servers are gone, which is a bummer, but it’s still fun.
I’m planning a big mission to the Jool system in KSP, so I’m working on a reusable heavy lifter, large resource scanning probe, a refinery with small collection ships, a big lander, a spaceplane, a science station, comm satellites, and reusable transfer vehicles.
Struggling at the moment to find something to get into.
Played around 4 hours of Days Gone and it didn’t really grab my attention.
Played THPS 1+2, got to area 51 on the first game within around an hour and just found it boring these days, I got ruined by Skate and it’s far superior control scheme.
Started on Forza Horizon 5, I really enjoyed playing 4 during covid and I am craving this kind of arcade racing but I am just struggling to get into this one. I think it is a combination of the map being boring as fuck and so by extension so are the races and there being so much going on on the map yet seemingly nothing to really do. Also being presented DLC on the map as if it is a race I can go and do really rubbed me up the wrong way a bit.
I have Disgaea 6 to try as well as Wasteland 3 and Disco Elysium but really not feeling an RPG right now. I’d like to try NFS Unbounded but refuse to download a shitty launcher to do so so now I’m lost xD
I agree so much on Forza 5, it‘s my first Forza and driving through the wasteland that is the part of Mexico they decided to largely use is… boring. Which is a shame cause the graphics, car selection, and driving is top tier. The Crew piqued my interest cause it‘s on Hawaii which sounds immediately more interesting lol, but I think it‘s overall a qualitatively worse game from the looks of it.
Borderlands 2 on native linux. Im not a huge gamer but this one is adddictive. Got it for like 5 bucks on steam. Does anyone want to play multiplayer with me. If native linux to linux works
I have mostly been playing Forza Horizon 4.
I am not a car nut, but fun and relaxing to play while listening to a podcast
