What are y'all playing? ver 2.0

You guys, Half Life Alyx is truly a masterpiece. Setting a new bar in VR content.

#1614

pls do not kick Laboured while he is down

#1615

It is! Scary AF and Iā€™m just watching :sob:

#1616

ā€œSure, you could fix the elevator. Orā€¦ā€

Honestly the collision/physics tech theyā€™ve implemented is so goddam impressive. That seems like a herculean task to code and the shit just works.

#1617

Can anyone recommend a good iPad puzzle game? Iā€™m looking for something thatā€™s not tile-matching or block-pushing. Iā€™ve already played:

  • The Room series
  • Monument Valley 1 & 2
  • Framed 1 & 2
  • Gorogoa
  • Florence
  • What the Golf?
  • Mini Metro and its sequel
#1618

Will It Stack?

Yes.

#1619

Those collision meshes are fantastic. Christ. Orgasmic stuff.

Itā€™s been months since I last read interesting video game discussion on a message board so I decided to give Edge Magazine a try. Itā€™s pretty good.

They mentioned Sticky Terms (iOS) and Iā€™ve been hooked on it for the last a few days. Itā€™s a simple puzzle game where you combine character-like shapes into ā€œuntranslatableā€ words. The puzzles are not challenging, but yet feel somewhat rewarding. Itā€™s primarily a fun way to learn new terms and appreciate cultural diversity.

Life is Strange fucked me up. Nobody told me that it was going to be an emotional rollercoaster.

#1623

Firewatch (PC) is another good walking simulator. I was hooked from the start and it doesnā€™t overstay its welcome.

Cosmic Star Heroine (NSW) is an homage to old RPGs like Chrono Trigger and Phantasy Star. Despite having excellent sprite work, solid music, and a deep combat system itā€™s not fun. The story, characters, and pop culture references gives a fanfic vibe that overshadows everything else.

I decided to give Glass Masquerade (NSW) a try after reading a recommendation for it. Itā€™s a visually stunning relaxing puzzle game where you piece together glass mosaic. Such a simple concept and yet surprisingly awesome. Iā€™ll pick up the sequel in a few months when I feel like revisiting the idea.

Having never played a Phoenix Wright game I picked up the trilogy for the Switch. The first game is fantastic. I didnā€™t expect high quality writing in an almost 20 year old video game released for a console generally targeting kids.

Playing through Detroit: Become Human (PS4) will probably take me three months, but Iā€™m thoroughly enjoying every moment of it. Especially after watching Westworld and reading many scifi novels recently. I canā€™t wait to see what Quantic Dream releases for the PS5.

Yokuā€™s Island Express (NSW) is another game that I would never have discovered by myself. The concept of pinball platforming might sound weird, but everything about it is great. Iā€™m playing it in short bursts since getting all the collectibles requires accurate timing and pinpoint precision. Itā€™s even made by a tiny studio in my home town.

Prey is the most incredible damned thing.

Just lots and lots of Fortnite

#1626

The new Fire Emblem is good. Iā€™ve been playing a battle or two every evening.

Iā€™m also playing Magic the Gathering: Arena most days when I need a break from work. A new expansion was released yesterday.

#1627

Hello fellas.

Still (re)playing through Witcher 3 next gen (with tonnes of mods) at the moment.

#1628

As much as I hate JK Rowling and want to abstain from anything to do with her, Hogwarts Legacy is fucking incredible. I honestly struggle to find a legitimate criticism of the game.

#1629

Baldurā€™s Gate 3 is fun.

#1630

Finally getting round to FF7 Remake. I like Chadley.

#1631

FF7R was surprisingly great. I look forward to the sequel.
