Can only talk about my watch list :

  • Dave the Diver, on my Mac . Sadly, steam only.
  • dredge, PS4
  • thinking about cyberpunk but ps4 might grind
  • also BF2042 maybe for a shooter

Also looking for some kind of chill farming / city building thing, for the mac, to play in bed, if anyone has anything ?

Brokkr,

For farming, I’ll assume you’ve tried Stardew, but if not that’s the obvious answer.

There’s a new one out called Vexland which might interest you. I haven’t tried it.

Another stardew is what I’m looking for !

Brokkr,

We all are. Looks like there will be a 1.6 update with some new content. I never explored the additional 1.5 content, but it seemed like a good bit.

Project zomboid might quench that thirst with its farming foraging and fishing mechanics it’s a really good game I’ve put 860 hours into it myself since buying it in late 2018

ADD as fuck, so I’m juggling 7 games right now.

  • ME: Andromeda
  • Baldur’s Gate 3
  • Strange Brigade
  • Forza Horizon 4
  • Idle Slayer
  • Tomb Raider (2013)
  • Magic 2014

ME: Andromeda isn’t as bad as everyone says it is once you get into it. Well, besides the bland companions. (Suvi being the exception.)

Only been going through Baldur’s Gate at a snail’s pace because I’m playing it alone.

TheMinions,

It’s been a long time, but I remember liking Jaal, Vetra, Drack, and Peebee a lot. I also remember Peebee being controversial in terms of you love her or hate her.

Trying to finish all levels with all characters on Mario 3D World.

Then, it’s always “just one more race” on F-zero 99

Ubettawerk,

I just started Dave the Diver on the switch and I’m hooked!

The_Helmet_Stays_On,

Back and forth working on Baldurs Gate 3, Death Stranding, Sekiro and Dead Signal

clampy_boi,

Finished Milk inside a bag of milk inside a bag of milk last night and picked up the next one Milk outside a bag of milk outside a bag of milk.

It’s definitely very strange and unsettling, but I like it.

nexnex,

I just played these a couple of days ago. Fascinating games, both of them. And the difference in production is staggering.

jedibob5,

Been going through Gotham Knights on Gamepass, it’s solid. It doesn’t stand up to the best of the Arkham series, but it’s at least an interesting twist on the idea, and the Arkham formula still holds up.

Also been on a totally random RollerCoaster Tycoon kick. Haven’t played in years, but for some reason I felt like getting into it again. It’s incredible how well it still holds up.

Keegen,

I’ve been feeling the Elder Scrolls itch and with the spooky season upon us, I decided it’s a good time to finally dig into Tamriel Rebuilt (which just got a new release BTW). The quality of what I’ve seen so far is stellar, it feels like it’s an official Bethesda content (and I mean that in the best way possible).

WeLoveCastingSpellz,

Tamriel Rebuilt is just so so good can’t recommend it enough to anyone who wants to try

Keegen,

It really is! It’s honestly amazing how much love Morrowind is getting even even 21 years after it’s release! Between Tamriel Rebuilt and OpenMW, the game actually just keeps getting better and better with time!

WeLoveCastingSpellz,

YEP it is just great. There is still so many things to look foward to even though the game is 21 year old thanks to the wonderfull modding community and openmw. I just love it so much. Also on an unrelated note I love how tightly knit together morrowind community is, I got to interract with some amazing people and incredibly talented modders and you can tell that everything about the morrowind modding comes from a place of love and passion for the game and the community and I am just so glad to be a part of it.

emmanuel_car,

Factorio, hours upon hours of Factorio. I go to bed planning my next expansion. I wake up from dreaming about it. It’s consumed my life, and I wouldn’t have it any other way.

rockerface,

yeah, that checks out

BURN,

The factory must grow

Still playing The Outer Worlds. I feel like I’m closing in on the finale in the next gaming session.

I want to come back and write a full review because the game has been a strange experience for me. It has so many gameplay and quest design choices that are baffling, usually in a negative to mixed way. There is no single issue that is a killer negative, just a death of a thousand papercuts of small issues.

Yet despite what will be laundry list of issues, the setting is so strong that I recommend the game. This is a game I’m happy is getting a sequel because it is exactly something that needs another attempt.

FLYGOD2x,

Darkest Dungeon

Fascinating game that beats your ass non-stop and yet you ask for it again.

Just finished Sea of Stars. I never 180’d from a game so much.

I started it a week and a half ago, and I was in love with the game. The story was cliché, sure, but everything else was perfect, and the characters were kind of cute.

But the third act feels too rushed and the ending… Oh boy, the ending. It just doesn’t feel like an ending at all. I was extremely disappointed with it, and too many setpieces just led to nowhere.

And the true ending was even worse, in that it not only has very arbitrary requirements to unlock (including finding all 60+ collectibles scattered across the map in random locations), but ruins one of the best and arguably the most emotional moments of the game as well.

spoilerI despise time travel. Always. It just doesn’t work, unless you put a lot of thought into it, and the Sea of Stars developers clearly didn’t even try.
