Hey everyone! I have no power in here, have not checked if anyone has started one of these but I feel like being the change I want to see in the world.
So! What are you playing this week?
I just started off Claire Obscure Expedition 33, and at the same time, have been getting my girlfriend to slowly wean off of Guilty Gear Strive and try out older fighter games like Guilty Gear XX and a more recent one, BlazBlueCrossTag (both to great success)
Also still haven’t beat the first major boss of Nightreign, not looking forward to the trashtalk from friends after the nerf because they did it first
Deliver At All Costs - fun game, but I swear the plot is just an excuse to feature those wonderful destruction mechanics.
Robocop - Actually not bad! I haven"t seen or played anything Robocop related in 30ish years, but I’ll be damned if this game doesn’t make you feel exactly like him ( for better or worse )
Pacific Drive - finally managed to finish this one after starting and abandoning it twice because it’s just terrifying to me. ( I just had to start it again after reading Roadside Picnic and thinking “hey, this reads familiar” ). It’s still terrifying, but absolutely great game.
Now I’m playing Kingdoms&Castles and Starbound again to calm the fuck down.
Deliver at all costs is pretty hilarious all round, really. I’m enjoying it on the Deck.
Robocop was a cool game, as a fan of the first film (AND ONLY THE FIRST FILM). I played that earlier in the year. I need to try it again in VR now I’ve upgraded my hardware. It choked hard on my old graphics card.
RoboCop: Rogue City took me by surprise. I was expecting a linear shooting gallery type thing but the game gives you some surprising levels of freedom to explore around. Much more immersive than I thought it would be.
Pacific Drive is so fantastic. I love the new endless mode they added. One of the best soundtracks in gaming.
I’ve played a bunch of Monster Train 2 which is great. A really novel interpretation of the Slay the Spire format. It also has some great qol and mechanical improvements over the first. Highly recommend if you’re into that sort of thing.
Dragon’s Dogma: Dark Arisen. Really good game but some of travel is rough. Fast travel is very limited. Good combat and I like the pawn system.
Its been awhile since I’ve played, but you should get a few Portcrystals around mid-game, and combined with the eternal ferrystone will help traveling around significantly.
I’ve only found two that were movable. I don’t know if I’m somehow missing them or something? I think I’m a decent way into the game. I’m at the point where you actually go into the castle and talk to the duke or whatever.
I’ve been addicted to Balatro. And Balatro is addicted to me.

Same, been trying for gold stake on all decks. I’m up to purple stake green deck right now, wish me luck!
I actually went back to give star citizen a shot since they added these “flight school” type missions that actually pay pretty well. It’s a chill experience to just pop on after work and do like 6-8 of them since they only take a few minutes each and then log off.
Other than that I found this game hard time 3 that is absolutely unhinged madness. It’s a janky messy game, but it’s fun chaos to mess with for a bit. It’s free on mobile, but I bought it on steam. It already has a horrendous camera and dealing with that on mobile is just asking for an aneurysm.
Core Keeper with my gf and Children of Morta/PUBG casuals with a friend. A bit of PAYDAY 3 with a group.
I am playing Drove and really loving it. Most likely done with the first chapter. The Gothic inspiration is clear, but it plays entirely differently. Gonna join the Remnants as they were more playfully written.

Final Fantasy Tactics on my RG34XX and Repo almost nightly with the buds
Have you bard-monked your way to high levels yet?
I just started Shin Megami Tensei Digital Devil Saga. It’s a weird one and I love it! The atmosphere is incredible and the systems are really fun right out of the gate.
I also have a playthrough of Trails in the Sky SC going on and it’s so charming. Great turn based combat too.
Aaaand I also tried out Slay the Spire for the first time to kill some time here and there and I have to say this thing should be regulated. So adictive!
I’ve been wrapping up endgame dungeons in Clair Obscur this week, having played through the story last week. I was a big PS1 final fantasy fan as a kid that later got into dark souls/Sekiro, so this game hit so hard for me. I can’t recommend it strongly enough if you’ve been a fan of these genres.
I am close to finishing my latest Skyrim mod list, so hopefully I can start playing Skyrim soon.
Until then I play Lunar Silver Star Remake on my Switch.
I have been playing a lot of Vintage Story. It’s been drawing me away from “finishing” Blue Prince and really digging into Clair Obscur: Expedition 33. They’re all so good, I just _have enough hours in the day to actually play everything. Stupid having a job and adult responsibilities.
I recently finished Horizon Forbidden West and immediately started Oblivion Remastered. It’s just as good as I remember it and I’m enjoying exploring Cyrodiil all over again.
Restarting Dredge for the umpteenth time. I keep getting just so far and give up. So here’s to hoping I play through all the way this time.
