I've been hankering for another big story-based RPG to sink my teeth into

You can try Indivisible. I got the game earlier this week and just installed it on my PS5. I will be playing later this evening.


@Worgen and @Old_Hunter_77, I got a copy of Darksiders Genesis. It's fully installed and I will be playing later today.

I did a few rounds of Ninja Gaiden 3: Razor's Edge. Played Alien vs. Predator Capcom, and some 3rd Strike. Gungrave GORE I did some high score runs as Bunji.

Nice, I quite enjoyed that, but I really like all the Darksiders games.

I have a mixed feeling on the Darksiders series but I never played this one so I'll be curious what u/Brawlman thinks.

I've been playing some Marvel Rivals to scratch that Overwatch 2 itch, and I've been having a lot of fun with it!

Unfortunately, just like with Fortnite, I've been experiencing some crashing issues, which apparently a known issue, which can be resolved by reverting back to a video driver from September last year.

It is pretty insane to me that two of the biggest games on PC right now, suffer from exactly the same issue, that Nvidia seemingly hasn't bothered to fix for (so far) over 6 months.

Nvidia has no time for gaming peons; they've got AI companies to sell to.

Finished Immortals Fenyx Rising.

I'm replaying TLoU2 and at the end of every session I feel like Gary Cooper at the end of High Noon just looking around the townsfolk with disgust, throwing my badge to the ground and fucking off forever.

@Worgen, I finally did a chapter of Darksiders Genesis, and actually having fun with one of the games for once. I know it's a prequel story, and I am still early in the game, but I like how it plays. The camera could be zoomed in a little more, but I can deal with the view.

Nice, good to hear. Personally I love the Darksiders series, but I'm glad at least one of them does it for you.

My last Crysis playthrough may have been eight years ago. On the highest difficulty, the game is so well balanced. I never feel overpowered with suppressors and all my powers. The heroic music puts new soundtracks to shame.

Getting only about 62 frames a second at 5120x2160 in very dense, open areas. I know the game only uses one CPU core or something.

 

[Drathnoxis]

Toilet in Wonderland. A strange RPG maker game from 2010. I can't explain it, watch Majuular do it. It was short, kind of pointless, extremely weird, but I kind of liked it.

 

[NerfedFalcon]

Still blasting through Doom Eternal. As expected, my extra life count is now back in balance at only 1, down from 8 when I switched my difficulty up. Next level up is ARC Complex, which I still remember playing for the first time and actually improving every time 'The Only Thing They Fear Is You' started playing.

I was told at the time that Mick Gordon's Doom soundtracks were terrible by a friend I no longer speak to (not over this), but if they can make you better at the game while they're playing, they've gotta be at least fit for purpose.

So I started playing Final Fantasy 7: Rebirth and it has everyone's favourite video game mechanic, climbing radio towers.

Ok, sarcasm over, I think I should have played something else as a pallet cleanser between Metaphor and this, they are both huge games and I can already feel the RPG burnout and it isn't FF's fault. Maybe I should have gone back to my platinum run through of Spider-Man: Miles Moreles. But generally I'm having more fun with this than I did with Metaphor, its colourful and fun, which makes a nice change from the various shades of brown that was Metaphor. I like Queens Blood, but I think like Gwent from The Witcher 3 in that once I start getting the really powerful cards, it will become a cakewalk. I also like the real time strategy game that has suddenly been thrown at me, who name I can't remember. That is quite fun. The music is great, but it gets a bit samey after a while of wandering around the open world and the combat somehow feeling floaty and impactful at the same time.

And maybe I'm being dense, but I'm on chapter 4 and I still can't switch out my party members outside of scripted areas. I would be nice to use party members than the default Cloud/Aerith/Red set up, if no other reason than to keep things interesting. They give 5 members but it seems odd that I can only use 3 of them.

Atomfall (PC)

It's sort of a bit like a mashup of Fallout and S.T.A.L.K.E.R., set in northern England in the 50s/60s. It doesn't really know what it wants to be and doesn't really excel at anything. It's not quite a shooter and not quite a stealth game and not quite a survival game and not quite a RPG. It does literally nothing very well. However, it does pretty much everything okay enough and so as a total package it's actually pretty decent fun. It's got a few decent ideas too, like ditching precise quest markers in favour of an investigations system.

As with Avowed, evidently the devs (Rebellion) have decided not to try to make a massive open world, instead using several large-ish play areas. And whilst this feels maybe a little disappointing in ways, if it makes creating games more viable for smaller outfits that can't manage Skyrim-size budgets, that's fine.

Chants of Sennaar (PC)

Short but beautifully designed puzzle game. Set in a sort of Tower of Babel - you need to interpret clues to decode the glyphs of several peoples, ascending the tower and sorting out their problems on the way.

The Roottress Are Dead (PC)

Puzzle game set in the 1990s where you have to work out a family tree without the plentiful resources of the modern-day internet. It's a game of interpreting sources (pictures, newspaper clippings, etc.) to get information to lead on to more sources and information and so on. Actually comes in two halves. The first is quite easy, and almost feels like it could be a tutorial for the rather more involved second half.

That was so freaking cool. Too many Koreans, so I jumped on top of a building with MAXIMUM STRENGTH and then started leaping from roof to roof, taking shots, with MAXIMUM SPEED.

you ever get those moments where you see something get loads of praise they you interested in but not enough to think about getting it anytime soon, then it suddenly plops onto a service making it accessible free of charge so you're obligated to try before it's inevitably yanked away from your grubby freeloading hands? no? me neither. on an unrelated note...

Blue Prince
you got a house. you got a very very cool old houe. and it's yours. yes, yours. to keep. all 45 rooms! but only if. you can muster your grubby freeloading self to find the 46th room. then it's yours for keepsies. that's all. what? of course that's all! there's 45, and you gotta get 46, ok? it's perfect logical sensible logic. heh! no tricks here, hey now don't go, there's no funny business here! tehe!
