World of Outlaws 24 is pretty much taking all my gaming time available 👍

 

[Doncarlone]

Had Life is Strange and life is strange before the storm on my library collecting digital dust for years and decided to give it a shot. Finished the first one and ended up really enjoying it. The gameplay is limited due to its "interactive movie" genre, but the story is great. Also enjoyed the art style and the score. Going the start the second one today.

Yesterday I played Sonic Frontiers. Now today I'm back to playing Gran Turismo 7.

I downloaded Robocop Rogue City from my Steam backlog, and with the intro and first level I probably had the best 30 minutes of pure action movie/80's nostalgia gaming fun in the year! (even more than with Indiana Jones and the Great Circle and that is saying something).

I'm also in a good streak with Star Wars Jedi Survivor, which I bought at 90% discount for the Xbox, so purchase of the year, I guess. I stuck to the main story and left the majority of the secondary side quests for another run in the future, still 20 hours+ of play.

I about a third of the way through Robocop and it's great! Haven't watched the movies in like 20 years so don't remember them at all but still I find it great fun to play.

The only downside is the frame rate drops during gunfights, they can be quite bad on PS5.

I picked up Balatro, and it's absolutely fantastic. I'm not even that keen on poker, but it's different enough where it's fun and there are millions of combinations and ways to win. It's also really challenging so when you do win you feel like you accomplished something.

After 98 hours on the current playthrough I’m finally at the end mission & choice of Cyberpunk 2077.

How do we go out Johnny, quiet life or blaze of glory?

Make sure you keep a save file before the big choice, you can then go back easily to pick the other path and see the other ending.

The Sims 2. Classic.

Even if they tick you off with their stupidity sometimes.

 

[FuriousDemon]

Finished Stalker 2 - absolutely great game for about 80% of it, but the final stretch definitely soured the experience by lacking side missions and being quite linear and boring. Endings (I've seen a couple) and the way the story was wrapped up for those also wasn't particularly great. Still, best game I've played in a long time.

I'm almost done with Indiana Jones games as well. It's a really good game, especially considering that Movie-based games aren't that good usually. It's feels kind of like Uncharted, but as an FPS. Troy Baker does a phenomenal job as Indy, actually most of the voice acting in this was great. Definitely recommend picking it up at some point, but probably on a 30%+ sale. Reason is that game's not that long and gameplay isn't something terribly special.

Starting out Aliens: Dark Descent. Seems quite good and pretty close to the Aliens movie in terms of the story and how the gameplay feels. Gameplay reminds me very much of Shadow Tactics: Blades of Shogun, probably the closest game to it but with an Alien story. Definitely keeps you on your toes and the first mission is definitely quite hard, which is fantastic in my book. I'm playing on Medium and I think it could be considered a Hard difficulty in many other games.

Their stupidity is all part of the charm 😍

 

[sesselpupser]

I'm on the final mission of Dark Forces now, I almost gave up but stuck with it (and lowered the difficulty from hard to normal), I don't know if it was the right choice. It's not a terrible game, it just hasn't aged very well, although I can appreciate they were doing a lot with what they had in terms of game engine sophistication and prior art to pull inspiration from - not much on either front, basically. That doesn't make it a good and fun game to play in 2024 though!

On Christmas, I started with Hot Wheels Unleashed.
I loved Unleashed 2 Turbocharged that I played recently amd and even got Platinum.
First one is much harder, even on easy.
And map/number of events is huge.
So far I have 7hrs played and I'm enjoying.

On Christmas Eve, I started with Metro Awakening.
This one much bigger challenge then games where everything goes to you, though here is 360°, taking care of flashlight, gun and more...
Here I have only 1hr from first day, Hot Wheels simply took advantage.

I installed and tried EA Sports WRC and The Crew Motorfest, but not pleased with control of cars with Dualsense.

 

[Fezzik]

A bit of The Crew Motorfest. Not taking it too seriously, just doing some playlists on a low difficulty. It’s not Horizon but it’ll scratch that itch.

Got a plan to clear some of the backlog, checked “how long to beat” for some shorter games. Starting with Uncharted Lost Legacy, a few chapters in now, then some other 10-20 hour games like Rift Apart. Waiting for the new update to go back to Baldur’s Gate 3 and I do want to give The Witcher 3 a proper go this year, I struggled with it the times I tried before.

Of course all this likely goes out the window if Assetto Corsa Evo is as good as it sounds. I fear that one may end up consuming all my time if I give in and buy a gaming PC/laptop.

Ongoing: Diablo 2, currently level 94 Paladin on hardcore. My good luck presented me with 1 Zod rune and 2 Cham runes when all that I want really only is 2 Jah runes to make my dreams come true.

Shortwhile fun: For the King 2, almost identical to the first game (as expected) for what it does good and bad. Only if one likes luck based, turn based rpgs.

Waiting to begin: Hammerfall 2, definitly better than the previous games from what I have played so far to see if it could be interesting for the group I am playing with.

 

[Chris30]

Now I'm playing gt7, later tonight I'm gonna play Marvel's Spider-man 2 which is a ps5 game. My friend is gonna let me borrow it for a few days and then I'll give it back to him.

 

[Veinz]

I bought Arma Reforger on steam over the weekend and I’m hooked.

I watched a lot of guides and did the training before hopping into the servers though. It’s a lot to take in at once.

 

[sesselpupser]

Trombone Champ for some reason. I thought it was just a silly joke game, and it is. There is no "but".

I'm considering making a trombone controller for it.

I just started this myself. The Game Awards trailer looked pretty interesting & two of my friends have raved about 3 for years. I think both of them have around 200 hours a piece, which is great b/c I've been wanting to play something different from my usual sports/sim/management grouping that I can sink a lot of time into. Was only $10 for the game + both expansions & I've enjoyed it so far still in the early stages of tracking down Ciri, so a good value.

Bioshock 2. Its the only Bioshock I didnt play before

 

[TypeRDC5]

Just finished Robocop Rogue City, performance issues aside during gun fights this game is excellent, once you update your main gun enough and no longer have to reload the gameplay is even more fun, they nailed the feeling of being Robocop and the setting.

Onto Assassin's Creed Syndicate next when I have time.

 

[sesselpupser]

I just started Pixeljunk Shooter Ultimate for the third time, having previously played it on PS3 and PSV. Playing it on a Deck really does make it feel like the Vita's second coming.

Still playing Trombone Champ too, I am terrible at it though and consider any score above a C grade "good enough". Also I have to play it with the sound off because apparently it's super annoying to others around you.
