What video game are you currently playing ?

These days I don't have much free time to play video games. If I ever play anything now it's always something simple and casual. Lately I have been playing Fall Guys, Chained Together, and Touhou 10: Mountain of Faith. I just started getting into the Touhou games recently (I know, I know, I'm very late to the party).

Street fighter and Mortal Kombat along with Darkstalkers. Even GI Joe operation blackout too.

Simetimes I play FTL or some old Flash tower defense games for ten minutes. I rarely play games nowadays.

I have been playing around on Tiny Glade for a few minutes a day. It is so nice lol.

Assassins Creed 4 - Black Flag -> For nature exploring.
Pokemons of any kind -> To relive childhood.

Replaying Arkham Knight

I just finished at 100% thief simulator (I need for myself to buy dlc one day and 2nd part) and I am into lately 1st outlast (2nd is too scary; also outlast is more scary on pc than on console) and subnautica on few mods. After that W3

Jedi Fallen Order

I can’t find anything worth playing

So I play Days Bygone every day. A mobile game. Mostly a comfort thing like smoking, or house slippers. I've been playing God Of War 2018 the past week. Fist time playing but I've seen playthroughs before. I'm a fan of the franchise because of a nostalgia thing. Playing on hard and beat it a couple days ago. Loved it. There's a harder mode now that I beat the game. I'll try that and try to do every little thing. Eyes of Oden and all that. I don't ever play console games and it's been fun

I just have to rant a bit about Fallen Order, there are some things that just drive me crazy in the game that seem simple enough but aren't. Like sliding down a suspended walkway, seems simple enough but no, there are sharp turns or it gets narrow and makes it almost impossible to not fall off because there are no invisible walls to stop you. It is like the developers did it on purpose just to aggravate players. Then there are ropes to swing on, usually simple enough but sometimes your objective is far enough that there is zero margin for error and you'll just miss it, or you can easily get off course and swing on an angle where if you aren't straight you can't make it. Then there is a free fall where you have to land on a giant bat or die, again it seems simple enough but nope, no margin for error if you aren't exactly on it at the exact right spot you die. And sometimes you have no idea where to go, you have a map but your objective is so far away and there is NO guide to let you know which way to go, (they fixed that in Survivor), you want to explore to find hidden items but you also need to know which way to go and not get turned around.

Okay that's enough of a rant, I know there are some other things that have driven me crazy and it's not over yet. But I like the games, they are like the Arkham games to Batman. I just wish I played the Jedi games in the right order but I did get Fallen Order at a HUGE discount by downloading it onto my XBox. There are some fantastic deals on games right now on the XBox network.

The other day I played Lego Harry Potter Years 5-7 on Xbox 360.

Before that, other than a few minutes of The Force Unleashed to test if the Xbox still worked, I hadn't played video games at all in 2 years. And I don't know how long it was before that.

Indiana Jones and the Great Circle. This game is awesome, they got down Indiana's (Harrison Ford's) mannerisms and expressions perfect, and Troy Baker does an awesome job imitating Harrison Ford's voice. I just wish it wasn't first person, but I'm getting used to it.

I've just started playing this.

Sounds intriguing. Any good?

I’m replaying Assassin’s Creed: Valhalla again. First time round, I played for something like 200+ hours. I love the time period and setting, easy to get lost in it.

Skyrim.... again

It was free. Kept me occupied for 3hrs. Was okay.

Okay, I've lashed out and bought a couple games that should occupy my time a bit more. Hopefully they're not beyond me.



FYI, other games I have in my steam library that I've played in recent years;
Anna - Extended Edition
The Backroom - Lost and Found
Closure
Detroit: Become Human
Fibrilation HD
Inside
Lake Ridden
Limbo
Little Nightmares 1 & 2
Portal 1 & 2
The Room 1 to 4
The Stanley Parable & Ultra Deluxe Version
Stragazing Genesis
The Talos Principle
Transmissions: Element 120
What Remains of Edith Finch

Well I'm pretty happy with this so far. It took some learning of course, and I'm nowhere near as proficient as many people would be at this, but it's fun. The bullet-cam is awesome. Sometimes the long sniper shots are a bit tricky, even when compensating for the wind and gravity (or trying to) and I probably don't make use of my arsenal as effectively as I could, but it's really engaging and your adrenaline really gets spiked at times. So I've spent over 30hrs on this first edition, completing 2 of 5 contracts so far (and each contract has 5 sub-contracts and other challenges along the way) so I'd say it's awfully good value for money in my opinion. The graphics are great, but I did come across a couple bugs whereby I was stuck in a spot and had to restart the section. Another time I just eventually completed a hard task and we had a power failure and I lost all the work I'd just sweated over lol, but I did it all over again. And it really hot here currently, so more reason to sweat. Hopefully the forecast drop in temp and rain tomorrow will happen.

Nice! The Room 1 to 4 are amazing! I love those types of puzzle games. You might like The House of Da Vinci - I believe there’s 3? Very similar style of game. Maybe Machinarium too, although that has a totally different feel - you play as this cute little robot. It’s an old game now, came out a while back. I also played What Remains of Edith Finch, it was decent. I have The Talos Principe on PS4, but for some reason it gave me wicked motion sickness, so I had to stop playing it. I should give it another go as it was an excellent game. Have you played Talos Principle 2?
