I know we’re already in February, but what are you looking forward to playing this year?...

Lost Odyssey is a JRPG that started as a collaboration between Final Fantasy grandfather Hironobu Sakaguchi’s independent studio Mistwalker and Microsoft for the Xbox 360. With a script written by Sakaguchi himself, it’s a by-the-numbers entry in the genre but with an inspired idea to insert a collection of short stories...

I know this isn’t strictly related to patient gaming, but I think it fits the ethos of this community and I can’t think of a better choir to preach to....

I want to tell you about an often overlooked game that I really enjoyed my time with....

I finished Control last week, likely the best game to marry a creepy funhouse with a sprawling government office that you’ll ever play. I was up and down on this one for a few months. There’s a fun narrative and plenty of atmosphere, but I wasn’t always enjoying the gameplay....

I played Resident Evil when I was a child on the starting on the PS1 with Resident Evil 3. I fell in love with this series and played all the games....

Tell us what game you are currently, or recently played, greater than 6+ months old....

I have a lot of respect for developers who bring new ideas and game modes and are thus keeping such a great game alive

Are there games that you tried but just couldn’t get into because they feel outdated? Games that, in theory, you would enjoy, but don’t because the controls, graphics, writing, or mechanics just don’t feel good anymore. Games that, compared to today, just don’t hold up to your standards....

TL;DR This game is awesome and you should consider playing it if you haven’t and you like retro games from this era or if you like similar collectathon games....

Hi guys, A very happy new year!!...

I have a huge backlog of free giveaway games, because I have less time for playing than I think I do and because I never know if I’ll be able to play a game or if it’ll be too visually challenging - my username is both literal and relevant....

I’ve played the game around seven years ago for the first time on my laptop and enjoyed my time a lot. Back when I got my first PS4 around a year later (2017ish), I got the game on there too but ended up not playing the game at all because I couldn’t get used to the controller gameplay....

I really enjoy time loop games where the player can explore and there’s a story, and isn’t just a puzzle game. I played Outer Wilds a few years ago and I loved everything about it, it’s my favorite in the genre....

I googled it, and the top result wanted to download/install a PuP.

8AM PT, 11AM ET....

So this isn’t directly related to patientgaming but my hardware and personal tastes kind of filter me to playing games no newer than five years old....

Hey everybody! My wife and I have recently been playing Destiny 2. It’s excellent imo and both of us are having tons of fun, except for one little detail…...

This might sound a bit random, but Cyberpunk 2077 has this sort of warmup sound that plays through the game startup sequence that always gets me relaxed or psyched up to play. Another example is the title song in Trails from Zero. Calms me every time....

I’ve just replayed Mario Galaxy 1 and 2, and I think this video sums up quite well why 2 wasn’t quite as good as the original. It’s more than it just being more of an expansion than a sequel, it’s the little bits that make it feel a bit more special.

I want to play Chrono trigger for the first time. I’ve actually played it a bit years ago, but I have no memory of it and didn’t finish it....

Tell us what game you are currently, or recently played, greater than 6+ months old....

I’m not young. But 25 years after the hype, I am finally getting around to playing half life (1)! Stupidly missed the free action, but paid a few eurocents for it. They’re totally worth it! Awesome game, holds up very very well after two and a half decades!

It’s a bitter sweet feeling afterward, but I love it when a game has characters where, after the game is over, I miss seeing a part of their lives. Be it due to the characters themselves or the interaction they have with one another, exiting their world feels more like a loss than when normally putting a story away....
