I myself am 100ish hours into AC Odyssey on the Steam Deck, looking forward to getting stabby on some malakas!

    This weekend is very busy but I’m sure I can squeeze in some Doom and Terraria (just realising that is a strange combo).

    Just bought The Talos Principle and I really like it. I will be playing the heck out of it for the rest of the weekend.

      I’d really like to experience my first play-through again. Really awesome game.

      Surprisingly good! Didn’t expect the story to unfold that way from what’s essentially a puzzle game

      I haven’t been able to get into NMS. I’m thinking of giving it yet another try, since I have PCVR (there’s that major VR update).

    I picked up Hi-Fi Rush on sale about a week ago, blew through it once, and am now working on a second play through/new game plus. Super fun game. After putting it down after playing for a while I still feel like I’m doing things to a beat for a bit.

      I like hifi rush alot, its a real sleeper and i like the vibe. If you are looking for more I really recommend bullets per minute. It’s a roguelike rhythm shooter with a really baller soundtrack. It’s less forgiving than hifi rush but when you get in the zone it can be really rewarding.

      I love rhythm games but not normally a fan of action arcade. Hi Fi rush is something special though and I think everyone should give it a chance.

    Tears Of the Kingdom! Fully went in expecting to be disappointed, but it just continues to blow me away the deeper I get into it. Truly incredible what they were able to pull off with such old hardware.

        It’s honestly outstanding. When I realized how much content was in this game compared to BOTW my jaw hit the floor! I’ve been a life long Zelda fan so it makes me so happy to see the franchise getting renewed love and excitement around it.

    No Man’s Sky has kind of been my go-to since it was released. Of course I’ll sit down and get into lots of other games, but if I’m playing nothing in particular - NMS.

      Just a heads-up about the new expedition… it’s bugged out at one of the steps in the last phase right now, and you can’t progress to complete the expedition yet. Looks to be a community-related task, but it’s not displaying progress properly.

    The remake of System Shock and Path of Exile, both on the Steam Deck. I’m enjoying gaming again with this beast :)

      Oooh. How is the System Shock remake? Huge fan of the original, but haven’t had the time to look into the remake too much. Was it “modernized” or were all the systems kept faithful to the original?

        The controls has been modernized, it feels like a game that launched this year, but everything else is completely faithful to the original. I’ve only tried the original briefly, but I’ve red from people who played both that you could basically follow a guide from 1994 and still be able to get through the remake.

        Aside from that, they added a scrap system which you can collect junk, destroy it, and recycle it for coins which can be spent on weapon upgrades. I think that’s the only major addition in the gameplay itself, and it’s something that was already in a similar way for System Shock 2 with the nanites.

    Picked up Cult of the Lamb yesterday on sale as I’ve heard nothing but good things and I’m really enjoying it so far. Told myself I’d be a kind and caring cult leader…that didn’t last long!

      CotL is such a cute and disturbing game. Quite addicting as well.

      I’m still missing two of the “No Damage Taken” Achievements. But neither my reaction time or patience is what it used to be. XD

        Yeah I didn’t know a lot about it before I started playing, was expecting something similar to Hades. It’s definitely darker than I expected but really enjoying it so far

      I never got into any of the souls games until Elden Ring, but I’m now working through it for like the fifth time. Truly one of the best games I’ve ever played.

    Lots of Diablo 4 this weekend if I can actually get some free time. We’ll see about that, but that’s been my main time sink lately.

      I love this game. So happy it made it to PC. I’m only about 10 hours in. The intro cutscene when Aloy jumps as a kid and lands as a young adult was such an epic moment. Enjoy your time playing that one. It’s so beautiful

    I’m enjoying Far Cry 6 atm - I know people have (valid) qualms with the Unsioft copy/paste fetch quest style, but sometimes it’s nice just to switch off and shoot bad guys. And I think the main storyline and voice acting is pretty good tbh.

      Even if many of Ubisoft’s quests are copy-paste, once in a while I come across one that has some neat thoughts in it, and it’s a shame a lot of people don’t find them. Games like TOTK have a much stronger balance, but that’s not easy.

      I recently finished it and liked it too. The setting was more of my taste than Far Cry 5. I just love the tropical Far Cry games.

        I’m totally the opposite. I never much cared for tropical environments. I do like the Far Cry games, though. The gunplay feels good and the gameplay loop is enjoyable for a few dozen hours every couple of years. I think my biggest dislike of the series in general is the mystical hallucination bits that seem to always be present. Obviously the games aren’t realistic in general, but those moments always take me out of the game. I haven’t played 6 yet, so maybe they aren’t present.
