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?

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.

Oh I gotta boot up Mudrunners again, I was really surprised how much I enjoyed that one.

Yeah, its great. The soft ground physics still amazes me.

It took me time to get into it, and seemed a bit dull at first with the slow tasks you had to complete in the drab Russian colour scheme, but gets challenging as you progress, to where you get invested in the outcome.

Adding the American Truck DLC and adding new vehicles and Maps from the community (such as Autumn or Dangerous Roads) brightens the game up too.

Its probably my favourite game now since many of the tasks are actually hard and It ends up being a challenging mix of strategy, ingenuity, fuel management, carefully planned wheel placement, and some luck :)

I like to mix things up, so I'm replaying Wolfenstein New Colossus on death incarnate difficulty, and sprinkling in Steve's Warehouse, Balatro and Hades for shorter sessions.

I'm waiting for a good sale to pick up Indiana Jones and will probably get Borderlands 4 sometime soon so hubs and I can play it together. I'm also considering a new playthrough of Cult of the Lamb now that the expansion has been announced.

Last Epoch, an indie ARPG similar to Diablo or Path of Exile. I have about 450 hours in it (since the early access phase) but hadn't played it for over a year. Now that I'm boycotting Microsoft/Xbox I recently jumped back in and have been enjoying the impressive amount of stuff that's been added post-launch.

I play this kind of game "casually", by which I mean I don't look up build guides. To me the most fun part of the game is developing a good enough understanding of the mechanics to be able to find success building whatever type of character it is that I want to play. For someone with this type of approach I think LE is great and very flexible! It's the only game I've reviewed on Steam and years later I still recommend it!

I've been thinking about finding a Diablo alternative. D4 just feels kind of samey and uninspired, even if they managed to bring the art style back to its roots. Going to look this up! I enjoy doing these things blind too, and figuring it all out on my own, at least for the first playthrough.

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

I won't buy anything while I'm unemployed with no budget it's against my horticulture

Hollow Knight. Had it for a while with a ~10hr save when I heard the silk song announcement and an trying to finish it before procrastinating on purchasing silk song.

[–] makyo@lemmy.world 1 points 1 month ago

I'm in the same boat. I did really enjoy my experience with it so I'm not sure why I didn't power through. If I can get over my Nightreign addiction then maybe finishing that is next.

My wife's not a gamer, but I showed her some Telltale games and she loved them. We just finished playing all 4 Walking Dead games and had z great time. We're playing Michonne now, then The Wolf Among Us.

Space Station 14! It's so goofy! I love the idea of a large scale semi cooperative roleplaying experience.

[–] makyo@lemmy.world 1 points 1 month ago (1 children)

That looks pretty nuts - how many people can be in the station at once?

[–] JackbyDev@programming.dev 1 points 1 month ago

Different servers have different caps but it's usually like more than 50.
