The Weekly 'What are you playing?' Discussion

Have you been spending hours trying to pass a level? Or maybe you are completely addicted to a newly bought game. Do you have a question about a game or would like to share something else? In the Weekly Discussion Thread, you can do it all!

Please don’t forget to use the spoiler tag as soon as you start talking about a storyline.

virock,

Currently playing “Dave the Diver”. The game is therapeutic :) Some parts require serious thinking and reaction but most of it allows you to just turn off your brain and relax.

LifeCoffeeGaming,

Playing through Frost Punk. Well banging my head against it is more accurate

virock,

Lol. I played that about 2 years ago. Too difficult for my liking.

I played Stardew Valley Expanded until 1am.

Ashtear,

Still playing Baldur’s Gate 3. I was fully planning on picking up Persona 5 Tactica at release but I was immediately turned off once I heard about Day 1 DLC. Really not okay. The reviews are mediocre and I’m also hearing that it’s short. I’ll probably pick it up on a sale.

Anyway, in BG3, I keep wanting to tinker with new builds and see places/story branches I missed the first three times. I don’t think an RPG has put me in replay mode like this since Final Fantasy Tactics. It’s pretty nuts.

I also restarted my subscription to World of Warcraft: Dragonflight to see the last raid and the end of the story for the expansion. I’ve never been so disinterested on resub like I am this time. I’m getting currencies thrown at me with little explanation, the community is still toxic as hell, and I’m just not into the story.

Talos Principle 2 is just… wow. It’s been years since I played the first game and it’s remarkable how fast the sequel was able to get me back in the space of “I’m here to solve puzzles and argue philosophy…”. Everything I loved about Talos Principle has been polished or expanded, and the way the writers somehow managed to get me to accept that we need to solve a bunch of puzzles to advance the plot - AGAIN - is impressive.

I’m so happy the game is this good.

RizzRustbolt,

Started playing Generation Zero again. Fooling around with the new augments and 2-shotting Firebats mostly.

JTheDoc,

Decided to play KSP again after months of ignoring it. (Due to performance)

Managed to strip some unnecessary mods and parts of my ship.

Now it only just crashes once or twice a day.

blackbarn,

Grounded just released an update so I’m giving that some time.

militaryintelligence,

Trying to 💯 Dead Estate

I circled back to vanilla no DLC RimWorld. I’ve owned the game for years, have quite a bit of time in Dwarf Fortress, but due to the fact I tried to mod the game right away it didn’t hook me. Turns out it’s really hard to learn a game and look stuff up when you have 200+ mods that alter things in tiny ways to make them completely different than base game. New colony is going strong! Just finished unlocking the advanced research bench, stable food source, strong outer walls. Such a fun game. I’ve been missing out. If anyone has any beginner tips or anything let me know. I’m gonna try to make it all the way and build the space ship!

brenno,

I decided to get back into Minecraft to try to finish the End Dragon

I just finished Cocoon and it’s a beautiful game with fantastic puzzles.

parascope_a_dope,

GTFO. My friends and I have put about 60 hours into this extraction shooter, and I can happily recommend it to anyone with a friend or three to play with. It can be difficult, and a little frustrating, but damn does finishing a hard-fought rundown feel good!

dan_the_accountant,

Just finished my second playthrough of Balders Gate 3, about to start Disco Elysium! I feel like turn based games are making a comeback!

Been playing age of wonder 4 with a friend, I really like that you can build your own factions and faction leaders, though I'd def install the fair play ai mod, since the ai is a lot less annoying with it.

Also void crew, its sort of like sea of thieves in space, but very much still in early access and has some obvious issues(AA seems to not work at all for me lol). Its fun so far tho.
