Just started Celeste. It’s hard because I suck at platformers but I love the music + art so much.
Abiotic Factor. It’s like playing through the Black Mesa facility but as a survival game, something I never knew I wanted until I experienced it.
Finally started Kingdom Come: Deliverance and I’m still very much in the “Learning to play, God this controls like a monkey on rollerblades with too many 'ludes in his system” level of skill…
But, aside from that, also playing Mutant Year Zero and Peglin.
Oh, God. I started Kingdom Come Deliverance a couple of years ago and spoke to a girl in the starting farm which, apparently, is how you trigger the DLC. I finished the whole thing thinking it was just a long mission and ended up with her becoming a badass only to be thrown back to the main game in the body of the useless kid and haven’t touched it ever since.
Star Citizen. Can’t recommend it for anyone unless they’re really really really patient.
Had some friends try to get me to play. Gave it a good 20 hours or so, spent most of it just trying to get anywhere. About a quarter of the time some random guy would zoom along and blow me up before he even showed up on radar, and now I was on a timer waiting for my ship to come back. Another 10% of the time I’d get sucked through my ship when I tried to use FTL, there goes another ship recovery timer.
The time consumption even when things go right is absolutely ridiculous, and they often go wrong. The random PK shit feels so fucking awful that I’d really rather just play something else.
I have played and enjoyed games that require patience, like Wurm Online and EVE Online. Star Citizen is on a level above even those and I’m not sure I would have liked it even before I had kids, but now? Forget it.
Mad Max, a really cool and chill game and a no brainer for 2 bucks.
