Topic: What game(s) have you been playing lately?

[Lumi Kløvstad]

I can't find much that I can be bothered to finish lately, lol.

God as I get older I know the feeling more and more. I miss having the patience and drive back in the PS2 days to just whiteknuckle through a new game before starting on another, or dare I say it even REPLAYING something from start to finish more than once and so really figuring out what my FAVORITE games were.

But I'm presently trying to alternate between FF7 Rebirth and Warhammer 40,000: Rogue Trader

Tales of Xillia

Trying once again to finish Silksong but I just don't like it.

Replaying Lecarde Chronicles I. I'm near the end. But holy shit is this game tilting.
Playing og Oblivion because I never rly played its questlines, just messed around for like 40 hours with vampire mods when I was a teenager.
Finished the Dawn of Sorrow mod which recently came out. Pretty cool.

Been playing Terraria. Also if some one is interested I would gladly play as a group.

Just finished the Blasphemous II main game. Man, I really liked that one a lot. I really liked the hammer weapon (I really don't remember the weapon names, lol) for regular enemies and the lightning swords for bosses (with a few exceptions). Didn't really use the balanced sword that much though.

I really liked the way backtracking was handled on this one. It was so much better than the first one. I always wanted to go back and finish the DLC (since the ending was pretty great), but the instadeath spikes and tedious traversal made backtracking a chore. But in the sequel, the portals, and later a sidequest reward, both made it so much easier to collect things.

Just started the DLC. I think I'll start Lies of P after this.

I also played Robocop: Unfinished Business. I really liked this one. I still prefer Rogue City, but this wasn't too far off. One of the late game chips makes you practically invincible: autofire, high damage, no reloading. Kind of took the challenge away, but it was pretty fun being a walking machine gun turret for the last hour or so, lol.

I've been on a classic Mario kick. Played through Super Mario Bros. 2 on NES and then immediately followed it with the GBA version on Switch's NSO/Nintendo Classics app—though I still gotta finish Yoshi egg mode. It's an interesting version of the game, like a big remix with more replay value and more reason to explore each level.

Then I realized I've never beaten Super Mario All-Stars on the Wii disc, although I played the hell out of it on SNES. Went through SMB2 on there, beautiful remake, probably the best version of the game. Then beat SMB1, got a couple worlds into Lost Levels (I'll get back to it) before firing up SMB3 and going through that. And man, Super Mario Bros. 3 really is like the best game ever made, objectively. You just can't go wrong.

Figure if I'm still hankering for Mario, I'll go through World again. Been a number of years since I've played it.

On the side, playing Splatoon 3, and I don't know if it's 'cos I just started but I'm doing really poorly. Like, I thought I was pretty good at the first two games, could splash paint and splat foes like a muddafugga and usually in the top two on my team. Now I'm getting last every time. Dunno if something changed with the third game, or other players got better, or if it's my loadout, or what. I'm only like level 5 so some of the weapons aren't even unlocked yet, so I guess I gotta chip away until I'm "good" again or equipped well enough.

Then been revisiting The Binding of Isaac: Afterbirth+ on Switch, and playing a little Fowl Damage as well.
