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

Buddahriffic,

I’ve been playing a bunch of Rogue Tower lately, going for some of the achievements. Finally got sticks and stones, but it was kinda disappointing because I got the polygon mobs instead of the missile ones and looking at the monster information, they are easier. I wanted to see if that setup would have taken on the missile mobs that kept killing me in wave 38 or 39.

yrmitz,

Stardew Valley year 3 starts. I don’t understand why this game is so addictive.

drphungky,

Just finished Mario Wonder in like a week - a delight to play but too easy and way too short to 100% a game.

Currently playing Dave the Diver and understanding why it has such good reviews. A solid little game - just expect a game that literally everyone can agree is pretty good, maybe not a game you’ll think is great.

Also currently loving Monster Train. Horrible theme, bad art style, and the sound effects are off-putting, but the gameplay is top notch. Very very fun. I was playing a bit of Across the Obelisk trying to capture that Slay the Spire addictive deck-builder feel, and where I enjoyed the latter (particularly for multiplayer) I never was dying to play it, just enjoyed it while I was. Monster Train I’m definitely looking forward to playing tonight, or maybe today during a boring meeting.

And of course DoTA. Always DoTA. For me it’s still the best game ever made, and they keep getting better with new content, fixing community toxicity issues, trying to help the skill wall, etc. I took two years off with my daughter’s birth, but I’ve been playing again for a few months and it’s better than ever.

Grass,

The last special stage (assuming there isn’t more stuff after the one I’m thinking of) on Mario wonder isn’t easy. Fuck that level. The checkpoints are placed to make you redo the most irritating parts and I couldn’t get past bouncy invisible section. Even playing nabbit or yoshi didn’t really help because they have different jump and damage reaction mechanics. I would have agreed with the over hyped reviews if not for the brain damage causing childishness of the story, dialogue, and ‘voice’ work.

Picked Wandering Sword back up with the intent to finish. I guess I wasn’t as far in as I thought because I’m still at it, but I’m OP enough that speeding through should be viable soon.

An unhealthy amount of City Skylines: 2.

I am also addicted to building “Quays”

Songar87,

I’ve been going through classic FPSs in bulk. Doom, Unreal, Quake II, Duke Nukem 3D, etc.

Dirt Rally 2.0

caseofthematts,

I’ve just started Dragon Age: Origin. I’ve never played a Dragon Age game, I’m a couple hours in at this point. If anyone has any tips or advice, that’s be appreciated! Playing a Rogue Elf. I’m enjoying the lore and the world so far.

caut_R,

I‘m ngl, I‘ve got hooked by Payday The Heist. It‘s absolute fucking bs, but it makes me wanna bs back even harder. And I found a couple nice guys to play the highest official difficulty with so I‘m having fun. Very fortunate considering the game averages 25 players nowadays.

Probably gonna move on after I‘ve gotten all trophies, but I might return for some runs if the guys need a fourth! I would‘ve never thought I‘d enjoy it this much.

Pheonixdown,

RoboQuest has been my main jam for a bit, decent little roguelite shooter. I like how you unlock travel to different areas by finding things from other paths.

Wish it scaled to more than 2 player though…

delitomatoes,

Lies of P, can’t believe this is the first action game from a indie studio

A mix between Lego Indiana Jones on PSP and Assassins Creed Syndicate. Hurray free givaways

Klordok,

Remnant 2. I watched Iron Pineapple’s review back when it released and got excited. It went on sale a couple weeks ago and I convinced several friends to get it. It’s been great. I’m just getting to the point where I can play around with different builds. The set pieces look great and the writing and lore has surprising depth, especially for a co-op shooter.

Two Animal Crossing at work since boss on vacation and we are some what slow. And at home enjoying the new states on American Truck Simulator.

Oklahoma and Texas.
