Topic: What games are you playing at the moment?

[F-T-9]

Tried Divinity Original Sin 2, but it just bored the living shit out of me.  I know that it's rated quite highly, but just not my thing.

Yeah same for me. Played it for a day, absolutely bored me to tears.

I'm about 75% done on Ragnarok but I don't want to finish it! Now there's a DLC out I may finish it over the weekend but it's been so good. It will go down as one of my favourite games ever.

seen the disc is on sale at game and tempted to take the plunge for parts of the christmas break when im home. not played games much the last couple of months, but a great (and longish/detailed) game like this might be just the job. loved the last one so much

To be honest it was the main reason I bought the PS5, I managed to get it at Game for £30 which is a great price. I've put in 70 hours so far and still not finished the story

I've been replaying the original Red Dead which, as good as it, just simply doesn't hold a candle to the second. They took the first one and put it up on speed for the 2nd. Not the firsts fault of course, but it's just so hard to get fully into when you've gone through the second.

Still have Cyberpunk sitting there so that's next on the agenda.

I never played the first one so have no nostalgia for it, but I did find a way of playing it on an emulator earlier this year. I couldn't really get on with it really and spewed it after not all that long. In general I find I can only really play 'old' games if I played them when they were new(ish)

I'm sure it was really good for its time, and if they'd actually made a pc version at the time I'd have played it.

After a few batterings from Gna you will be begging to finish it

I couldn't get much past the 1st side mission, was painful. I made a ton of money off it though when RDR2 came out, RDR1 was £12 at argos & people were snapping them up off ebay for £25, couldn't put them up fast enough.

Used to play it quite a bit, but then they decided to make the ice hic hockey thingy competitive only and couldn't be arsed with that...

They've messed around stuff. That hockey thing is there for the season so you can't do dropshot, which was a boss little mode. That's in next season

They can't leave well enough alone. But the core gameplay is fun

I play a manic fast style haha everyone else seems to labour over their shots

Gave The Finals a go

Was alright. Pretty addictive. I like the vibe. You end up dyin more than you kill but of course

Love Rocket League. Racked up days on it. I'm absolutely wank though.

Horizon: Zero Dawn. I'm at 'that point' in an RPG where I'm powerful enough to not worry about any encounter on the map so I've gone exploring, however I keep running into locations that suddenly advance existing questlines and I'm starting to lose some plot threads.

The alternative is to quest in order, complete the game and then still have to go back and find collectibles etc.

Neither is ideal!

It's worth following the main quest line in that. And just explore around where it sends you, for the most part

I can’t stop playing Powerwash Simulator

I can’t stop playing Powerwash Simulator

Great game.

And one that bizarrely has the “one more go” feel to it, ridiculous number of times I say to myself that I’ll get up to a certain percentage on a job and stop, then find myself still playing the game hours later.

Looks like the Steam Winter Sale has kicked in. A few on my wishlist...

Atomic Heart - 50% off - £27.49

Robocop - 30% off - £31.49

Was really wary of paying full price for either, would anyone recommend either at those price points?

[Chakan]

Bloody hell it’s addictive. I spent 2 hours this morning washing a house and backyard!!

Didn’t know how to crouch down to get underneath stuff, finally figured it out.

Spider-Man 2 - brilliant. Story is great so far but I’m also enjoying a lot of the side missions. General quality is superb and the load times are crazy as you zip around NYC.

Venba - finished it in one sitting, via Gamepass, this afternoon. Very relaxing but a lovely story and the simple mechanics that have you preparing various Indian dishes, playing as an Indian who has moved to Canada, are great fun. Recommend for how well it portrays how people moving to a foreign country must feel. I can’t relate directly but thought it was really well done.

Jusant - an hour or so into this climbing focussed game which looks simple and has one of those brilliant game loops where it’s generally simple but has layers of complexity that build as you go. Also on Gamepass and would recommend if you’ve got it.

Over Christmas I’m hoping to finish Spider-Man and get stuck into Dave the Diver and Cyberpunk!

Love the look of Atomic Heart but reviews are mixed. Given it's already basically 50% in year of release I reckon it'll probably end up going down even more.

Saw that Gotham Knights is already down to a fiver in ASDA

Dave the Diver. Fucking quality. Dive for fish by day, serve your catches in a sushi restaurant by night. Fun game and nice retro styled graphics.

[Hedley Lamarr]

Playing through the Res Evil 4 remake again, easily my game of the year.  Just perfect, this and Dead Space, good year for horror fans.

Downloaded on switch today. Looking forward to getting stuck in over Christmas!

Just bought this on the strength of your recommendation. And the reviews...

Got that, Drege and FAR: Lone Sails to entertain on the Switch in the coming weeks.

[stoa]

Got Dave the Diver a few weeks ago, but didn't get into it. Will have to play it when I'm in the mood for that kind of game. Have started a new run of Jagged Alliance 3 after they had three or four patches that have added new content like Bobby Ray's.

[At the Xmas works do asking someone to give them one]

I've been playing Vampire Survivors, a free game on the interwebs. I'm shit at it.

Been gifted a download code for Alan Wake II on the PS5 for Christmas. Had never even heard of it before, but the review sound good.

Any RAWKites played it?

Best game of the year, far superior to the first, which, while highly rated, was a repetitive pile of shite in my opinion.  An absolute masterpiece, very Twin Peaks.

[voodoo ray]

I'm sceptical about that 2nd one, because I enjoyed the first one except for the actual gameplay which rapidly got very boring for me.

one of my mates is/was playing it and I'm seeing him later so I might ask him about it if I remember.

Let us know!

As it's New Year's I wouldn't put too much hope on voodoo ray remembering to ask.

Haven't remembered yet, might do later, might not.

no but I've heard it's great, and heard off another gaming community and mates into it

No idea what it's like myself but if the reviews appeal to you I'd say dive in. Seems to me one of those titles you should just play

Personally it’s absolutely worth a play through. There is one particular level for Alan Wake which is absolutely exceptional.

[RedDeadRejection]

Finally ready to be hurt again and put on Last of Us 2. Haven't played since release. Never has a game left me feeling so fulfilled but so emotionally exhausted after it.
