What Video Games Are You Currently Playing

I started (and sunk a few hours into) Death Stranding (Director’s Cut).  I sort of knew what to expect but still was WTFing regularly. 

Some peak Kojima writing right at the start (paraphrasing): “the President of the United States wants to talk to you.”

“He does?”

“No, she does.”

“The President is a woman???”

“The president is the woman who raised you.”

“There is no America anymore.”

It’s sort of fun though. 

Redout 2. Bought it when it came out, but didn't really get into it. Given it another go the other day and loving it now. Probably my favourite AG racing game at the moment!!

I’m excited to hear that the switch is getting worms armageddon, such a classic.

I still remember how good it felt on my first successful run. then I started adding Boss Cells lol. haven't touched the game since the last update but I tended to invest heavily in Tactics (Barbed Tips mutation) and use bows.

Yeah i think Hokuto's is supposed to be very efficient, never got into ranged DPS much tho, i mostly use Ice-Stuff in second hand for CC.

OH and you might wanna try out Armadillopack for parrying while rolling! Never leave the house without it...

I never really got the hang of that one, I usually went for rapid-fire bows which worked pretty well with Barbed Tips.

Bought the Mafia trilogy on sale. A ways through the first one and enjoying it more than I'd expected. Excited to play 2, a bit less so for 3

forgot to mention I started Cyberpunk recently.

Tactical Breach Wizards seems brilliant, I don't know how much time I'm gonna have for games in the near future but I'm hoping to spend a few more hours with it this weekend, big fan of his previous work with Gunpoint and Heat Signature and this one is looking very special so far.

on New Year's eve??

I'm really enjoying it. it took years of additional work to get there but I'm finding Night City really well realised as a chaotic, violent, futuristic sandbox in which to behave completely freely, whether that's as an amoral merc or as a kind of enforcer with a code. the city is huge and for as much of it as I've explored (which is probably like 30% at this point) it feels fleshed out and connected and seamless. it looks and sounds sexy. there are interesting characters and engaging storylines. yes, it's a little corny and almost dated in a weird way (the dystopian cyberpunk flavour it evokes is decades old at this point) but I can give that a pass easily. game's crashed a grand total of 1 time and the only glitch I've encountered in-game so far is a random NPC walking through a closed door. not bad after 40 hours of play.

currently I am riding around on Jackie's Arch (it feels really natural in first person view) hunting and non-lethally subduing cyberpsychos. prior to that I was riding around doing the Delamain missions where you track down rogue cars, which was a clever device for exposing the player to different parts of the city.

CD projekt red makes great side quests imo. Same with the Witcher 3. It makes up for the fact that the open world elements sometimes feel a bit limited (compared to Skyrim for example)

Yeah, was waiting for our friends to come over and the baby was sleeping.

Doom eternal is worse in every way than its predecessor except visuals

enjoying this trippy puzzle game, looks great on the OLED screen

Beat Dead Island 2. Classic 3/5 game. It just kind of ended in the middle of the story. But I'm not getting the DLC to maybe finish it.

I started Nobody Wants to Die. It's pretty nice.
