I'm always wishing there was more interaction and discussion on the niche Lemmy groups. Today I got to wondering if there were some games we could focus on to help foster our small community. But what is everyone playing or interested in playing? Are we all off playing our own obscure indie favorites or are there some games we share?

I’ve been playing Against the Storm (just reforged the gold seal), 7 days to die, and lately Fields of Mistria. Occasionally I go back to Enshrouded, Palworld and Two Point Museum. And I still haven’t finished Baldurs Gate 3, every time I take a break, I have an urge to start anew instead of continuing an old save.

I was playing FF7 rebirth ....got about 60 hours in and Im having trouble beating the game. Its just so boring with the sidequests. And the map is insanely big with nothing but a couple of monsters. They definitely padded out the game. Its not a bad game and it has its moments.

So I started to play Detlarune after my wife got it for me for my Bday. Got through the 1st chapter and im really enjoying it. Im just going to play that now and maybe come back to ff7....if I feel like it.

Rogue Trader. I'm up to chapter 3 and its dragging a bit.

Grounded 2. Very early early access but its still a ton of fun.

Peak. Mostly when my friend is available for co-op but I do solo runs here and there.

Hades 2 but its mostly on the back burner until 1.0 for now.

I've got a bunch of virtual novels, Pathologic 2, The Forest, and more in my backlog but with Silksong finally releasing next week they'll probably be saying there for a while.

i need a computer with s graphs card :(

[–] Liz@midwest.social 1 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago) (1 children)

How much money you got for computer? But also, there's plenty of games that don't need a card.

Easy Red 2. Sandbox WW2 game with a bunch of campaigns, mods, and a mission/map editor. Great developer who updates the game frequently.

It's not a visually amazing game or anything, but if you want to have Americans in German Uniforms fighting Chinese paratroopers in Stalingrad with M16s then you can. Its great

Striving for Light. It's the only real hybrid I have found between an arpg and a roguelite. A bite-sized PoE if you will.

Otherwise, in more or less the same genre, Magicraft (my GOTY 2024) and a tiny bit of Hellclock, tho it has yet to hook me because so far it's boringly easy - I'm still very early in the game.

Far cry 6. It sucks. I love gta style open world with lots of vehicles and weapons. It’s great for that. The missions are all the same. Go here, fetch this. Kill this person. Go back to another person.

[–] ordnance_qf_17_pounder@reddthat.com 4 points 4 days ago (1 children)

I enjoyed every Far Cry game up until 6. 6 is just a steaming pile of shit.

Grim dawn for nostalgia. Enjoying the new classes and dealing lightning, fire and ice damage.

[–] salvaria@lemmy.blahaj.zone 5 points 4 days ago (2 children)

I'm playing through the first Death Stranding, which I've really been enjoying. The gameplay did not hook me initially, but it grew on me. I'm a sucker for a good narrative and so I progressed because I wanted to know what was happening.

I'll want to play the second one afterwards, but I'm thinking that I'll take a break in between. Maybe try Sword of the Sea? It looked pretty cool.

Nightreign had me, I've gone back to it for the everdark bosses, but I find the run before the bosses the most fun.

Went back to elden ring because of it, also picked up enshrouded and have been playing that with my coop group.

Balatro and slay the spire get a run a day

sorry but I have been a dillatant lately while I install the smallest games from the great on steamdeck filter of steam. One funny note was I had hunter stories and found it ultimately relied to much on rng and did not let me build up enough from things just made available. I think they should have had an option to buy normal eggs maybe level gating the type and then left the rng for rare powered up types. Anyway booted that out and just started palworld and wow is that ever the opposite. Does not explain stuff much at all whereas monster hunter stories was basically on rails. eventually I will get to the witcher at which point I likely will have to start deciding what stuff I want to take off if im to get anything larger on it.

EDITED - ooh. forgot to mention one stand out. nino kuni II revenant kingdom. Im playing each thing a bit and then putting on a new game but nino kuni had this very sorta fast casual fighting style that reminds me a lot of kindom hearts and I had a hard time stopping. Will likely be the game I binge once im good with what I have on the deck.

ive been boring and pretty much only playing hypixel skyblock, basically an mmorpg lol. some mario party with my girlfriend too

[–] Charzard4261@programming.dev 2 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Man I haven't been on Hypixel Skyblock in ages! It was really fun being there for all the community moments back when Technoblade was rocking the server.

Unfortunately the grind got too much so I ended up stopping playing and instead spending time helping out on Skyblock Addons. But once new content was locked behind skills rather than items it became impossible to work on new features, so that was my sign to leave.

Recently picked up Enshrouded and giving that a go. Thinking of checking out the new update to No Man's Sky but haven't redownloaded it yet.

I was worried the first hour or two of Enshrouded I wouldn't like it, felt very similar to Ark and Grounded, which I wasn't much of a fan of due to the progression of those games moving at a snails pace and being brutalized by most enemies early on. But I'm happy to say I haven't felt the same disappointment from Enshrouded, sitting around 10-ish hours in. My character looks like a hobo dressed in whatever trash they could find hitting enemies with a crooked stick, but the combat feels pretty fun (instead of brutal) and there's interesting loot all over to keep the carrot and stick centers of my brain engaged. "Oh look, a slightly more interesting crooked stick!"

I like it so far.

[–] makyo@lemmy.world 2 points 3 days ago (1 children)

I've got that on my list with my group! Do you think we'll like it if we liked 7 Days to Die and Valheim? Would love something in that style but still a little different than either of those.

Shadowrun for sega genesis

[–] swordgeek@lemmy.ca 4 points 4 days ago (1 children)

Red Dead Redemption 2.

I picked it up a yeat or two ago, played through it, and loved it. When RDR was finally released for the PC, I immediately dove into it.

RDR was ezcellent, but it made me crave RDR2 gameplay, which was far deeper. So now I'm riding around in the epilogue, completing challenges and collecting every piece of clothing, saddle, and trinket.

Currently, Hollow Knight, since Silksong finally comes out next week. Before that, a split between Kerbal Space Program and Nine Sols.

I recently finished Dragon Age Inquisition, and then started Powerslave: Exhumed.

I never played any of the original versions so it’s a completely new experience for me. Enjoyable so far - it’s an interesting historical link between classic metroidvania and 90s FPS, like a proto-Metroid Prime in some ways.

I do wish they’d added a quick save button to this modern version, though.

I’ve been on a Luanti (formerly Minetest) kick past few days, mostly playing Mineclonia.

It has some small QoL upgrades over the original imo. Could benefit from controller support but scratches the itch well enough as a palate cleanser.

After this probably looking at Dungeons of Hinterberg in my backlog.

Can't stay away from Spelunky...

[–] CubitOom@infosec.pub 3 points 4 days ago

I'm trying to 100% tropico 6 before the new one comes out.

Also been playing various games in luanti, minecloneia specifically

Previously was playing through all of Mech Warrior 5 Mercs. Lately though its been many hours on Mudrunners with the mods and DLC. Its a real challenge in some areas. Had to use the boom grappler extended to one side to stop truck tipping over around the side of the canted narrow mountain roads.
