What has everyone been playing lately?

What's everyone on /m/gaming playing lately?

I'm still making my way through the Diablo IV campaign, really enjoying that but looking forward to blasting and figuring out if I enjoy the endgame more than anything at this point. I'm a binge Path of Exile player but the past few leagues haven't really done it for me. It's been nice to play an ARPG again and I'm enjoying D4's slower pace. Zoom zoom is great in POE, but it's nice to get back to basics a little bit.

Went with Whirlwind Barbarian. Know it's meta, but Cyclone Slayer is my favorite POE build so I'm just trying to enjoy my time as the overpowered class rather than fighting it haha.

Played through the Lies of P demo as well and thought it was mostly great. Not the greatest example of gameplay for the genre IMO, but the production values and the vibe were stellar.

How about you guys?

ThePancakeExperiment,

I just finished Manifold Garden and think I will begin with CrossCode or Hollow Knight, or both, today. Heard really good stuff about those games.

CrossCode is wonderful, one of the best RPGs I've ever played.

Been playing Factorio to death, but strongly considering trying out the System Shock remake of late.

Have just grabbed Kingdom Come Deliverance in sale, having fun being a weak little shit and throwing poo at things.

Learning curve is brutal though.

Mostly Tears of the Kingdom. Other than my typical multiplayer games I've been sinking my time mostly into Zelda.

I_Watch_Turtle_Porn,

efootball on mobile lmao. Also Chess

Sulfur,

Pretty much just TotK. There are a few other recent games I’m interested in, but I don’t want to rush through TotK to get to them.

Trying to find time to play Pathfinder: Kingmaker - just got done with the first major quest after founding your barony, so now I need to figure out how to make gold so I can respec my party members

cwagner,

Since the beta release on the 1st, I’ve been playing the Warhammer 40k: Rogue Trader beta. But not finding as much time as I want, I only have 30h so far. I played the Alpha when it was released, but stopped after one playthrough. Haven’t had ship combat yet (just arrived in footfall), but everything improved over the alpha, and even the alpha was probably better than Pathfinder: Kingmaker or Wrath of the RIghteous right on release ;)

For those who don’t know, it’s a turnbased Warhammer 40k CRPG by the same company who did the 2 Pathfinder Games, Owlcat Games.

brandacus,

Street Fighter 6, and in really enjoying it. I'm not a fighting game guy at all, but they added a new Modern control scheme that lowers the barrier to entry. Now I'm having a blast every night with my buddies. I'd highly recommend it to anyone reading this.

phi1997,

Been playing Street Fighter 6 too. It's been a lot of fun, though the monetization scheme they slapped on has me reticent for the game's future

It's more or less my first fighting game and I've been really enjoying it too. I made attempts at Guilty Gear before and it was just a lot to take in. SF6 has been a lot more manageable to start picking up even on classic controls which has been a lot of fun.

I didn't think I'd really enjoy the single player part either but that has been fun, just running around with a controller and beating random dudes up.

BruceTwarzen,

I play a ton of Deep Rock Galactic. I bought the game on release but never really got into it. I always liked it, but i never really got into it. But when i suddenly did, oh boy it's so good.
Shout-out to Ghost Ship Games, free battlepass, free dlc's, and great player feedback. A true labor of love.

I have friends who play a loooot of Deep Rock. I've played a few times and the gameplay is super fun but it hasn't hooked me the same way yet for whatever reason. Cool to hear it can click for people a bit later too!

Fishman,

Recently got a random burst of motivation to continue Shadow of War, which I started nearly four years ago. Finished the game, then caught up on Shadow of Mordor and replayed Shadow of War because I forgot the complete first half of the story. No idea why I didn't do that sooner, relearning the combat wasn't that hard and damn it's fun.

Lately Ive been playing a combination of Diablo 2:Resurrected and Diablo 3. I got D3 for the first time when I bought D2 a few months back so Ive been trying it out lately and Ive been pleasantly surprised. It has a lot of issues sure but it is great for a casual ARPG grind when I dont feel like playing anything else. Have been playing as Witch Doctor and trying to push the greatest rift level I can before returning to D2. That being said, I have no desire to play Diablo 4 with all its MMO-lite features and poor build diversity and itemization

HrBingR,

Honestly, I loved D3. Sure, it’s not without its flaws, but to me it’s so much fun, especially in the end game. I’ll admit, I’m curious about Diablo 4, despite the drawbacks, but I might wait for a sale.

OverPowerBottom,

I just got back into Guild Wars 2. What a pleasant mmo to play casually for years.

When I'm feeling spicy, I pick up Deceive Inc. - I like the ability to play solo and not be forced to team up with people and this hits the right parts of the brain for me when I'm up to pvp.

I'm eagerly waiting for the new Team Fight Tactics set. I got bored of set 8 pretty quickly so this new update looks insane. I like that the devs are taking risks with augments and expanding the complexity of the game.

On the side, I've been trying to finish Dragon Age: Inquisition so I can delete it. I don't know if it's my attention span, but massive single-player RPGs with a breadth of content haven't been doing it for me... The gameplay/combat feels really repetitive and therefore makes progression tedious. I've recently given up on AC Odyssey because of this. :(

zdb,

I also just got back into Guild Wars 2. I didn’t love it when it first came out. I got to level 45 and then stopped playing. But I’m loving it now!

Let me know if you’d like to connect in game. I don’t really have any friends who game so I’m always looking for more.

Narrrz,

@zdb

GW2 kinda only really starts when you hit max level and can start on xpac content. The game changes so drastically once you have an elite spec and the story gets worlds better.

I'm at the post-endgame of Monster Hunter Rise. Got my final gear, I'm just basically making the rank and research level numbers go up at this point. Still having fun, though.

I also play a lot of Battlefield 2042, but I'm not particularly good at it.

Rhubarb_,

Recovering from COVID for the past ~week, so I've been sinking a lot of time into Ghost of Tsushima

I hit about 90 hours in Tears of the Kingdom but then Street Fighter 6 and Diablo 4 came out so those two have been taking up most of my time now. Final Fantasy XVI in a couple weeks will be stealing time from those two haha it's a good month for games

BreakNeckJim,

Wow, I didn't even know about FFXVI, what a year for gaming!

Jojo,

It's honestly turning out to be one of the best in a long time. A new Zelda, Diablo, Final Fantasy on top of a Star Wars sequel, Spider-Man sequel, Starfield...such a good year.

dude it's shocking to me Final Fantasy XVI releases so soon. Don't know why, but that one really snuck up on me. Absolutely right, we're inundated with good stuff to play right now. Great problem to have.

I honestly keep forgetting it is too. Not gonna lie I wish it was July or August at this point just because June is so crazy, but is what is is haha
