Pacific Drive, Whispers in the wood DLC.

Finally they added something that will actively chase you and act like a stalker type enemy(stop at nothing). You can crank up both your car and the enemy's speed to make chasing super tense.

The atmosphere and sound design are even more spooky, fantastic stuff.

The story's main character is a bit chatty, but I think sells the "mad cultist" impression pretty well.


Performance wise: Using lossless framegen 2x to pull the framerate up from 30 to 60. Pixel rendering in this game is cheap, so no amount of lowering resolution will boost much performance.

The Last Sovereign, using a walkthrough. Some battles are hard. I had to use RpgMakerSaveEdit on my windows machine because I didn't buy enough items and to buy equipment needed for a battle.

Öoo was a nice quick play. Logic Bombs is a brutal puzzler with a fantastic Gameboy rom included.

[–] BigPotato@lemmy.world 2 points 22 hours ago

Grapple Dog and Yakuza 5. Grapple dog is more short sessions than Yakuza, so I'm playing that a bit more.

[–] Nima@leminal.space 2 points 22 hours ago

a lot of Hades 2. like a LOT 😅

quite a bit of modded Terraria and a little bit of WoW every now and then casually.

[–] insight06@lemmy.world 7 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I'm about 90 hours into Silksong. Before that, it was hollow knight.

Until now, I'd never played metroidvanias or souslikes - mostly idle games, FPS' and RPGs. I might get more into them now. I've been eyeing animal well.

[–] domi@lemmy.secnd.me 3 points 1 day ago

Check out Ori and the Blind Forest and Ori and the Will of the Wisps as well.

Mostly 9Kings. One round is typically 20 mins, which suits me

The new Time King is pretty fun! Paradoxes and all that.

[–] anakin78z@lemmy.world 5 points 1 day ago (1 children)

The Gunk. I played through it on game pass a few years ago. I was just telling someone about it and then saw that it was only like $3 on Steam, so I bought it. It's so pretty, and looks great on the deck. I love the voice work, too. And cleaning up the gunk feels so therapeutic right now.

[–] PrincessKadath@ani.social 2 points 1 day ago

The Gunk is great. Wish they expanded on the story.

[–] morgan_423@lemmy.world 12 points 1 day ago (2 children)

Playing a lot of Jump Space and Deep Rock Galactic with friends.

Single player, Baldur's Gate 3 continues to be my long haul game, and Brotato and Balatro remain my "20 free minutes to game" games

[–] Water_Melon_boy@lemmy.zip 1 points 1 hour ago

Rock And Stone!

[–] railway692@piefed.zip 4 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Didn't know Jump Space played well on Deck. I'll have to try it out.

[–] morgan_423@lemmy.world 3 points 1 day ago

I wouldn't say it runs particularly well currently. I play it at 720p lower settings and it will go 50 - 60 fps at several places and times... but then when there's a ton of action and enemies, suddenly you're in Jittery High 20s / Low 30s Land.

But it's still very fun, especially with friends, and everyone picks their jobs and gets down to business. And it's early access and early on in its road map... I imagine it'll just get smoother as they optimize it more over time.

[–] foobaz@lemmy.world 7 points 1 day ago

Dead Cells 😍

[–] TedZanzibar@feddit.uk 5 points 1 day ago

Recently finished another playthrough of Half-Life 2, and now I'm back on Hades (not 2, waiting for that to go on sale). I've just had the first successful run but I've got a long way to go before I'm up to the same point I was at on the Xbox.

[–] petrescatraian@libranet.de 6 points 1 day ago

Welp, I just played Stardew Valley again 😁

[–] TheOctonaut@mander.xyz 6 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

Lollipop Chainsaw RePopped

It's so silly

[–] Almacca@aussie.zone 4 points 1 day ago

Huntdown It's a really fun, well put together run 'n' gunner reminiscent of the 80's 32 bit era. I'm having a blast with it. All the boss fights are totally unique.

[–] UnfairUtan@lemmy.world 5 points 1 day ago (1 children)
[–] Almacca@aussie.zone 3 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I've been thinking about getting that. It looks fun. What's your opinion on it?

[–] UnfairUtan@lemmy.world 2 points 1 day ago (1 children)

If you like brick breakers and Vampire Survivors, you'll love it.

It's not the most challenging game if you take your time to upgrade and redo levels with other characters, but I still find it fun to play even after 20+ hours

[–] Almacca@aussie.zone 2 points 10 hours ago

Sounds right up my alley, but I'll wait for a sale, I think. I've got a pretty big backlog to get through.

[–] ExtraMedicated@lemmy.world 3 points 1 day ago

Recently finished Ultros. Started playing The Drifter.

Mass Effect 2 for the second time years after playing it on Playstation 3

Hades 2 (last achievements) and "I was a teenage exocolonist" to play on my own.

"Look outside" to play with my spouse, sharing the controller and suffering from the horrible key mapping, but the game itself is nice!

[–] vimes@lemmy.world 6 points 1 day ago

Finally finished Death Stranding. On to Hades 2.

[–] mrfriki@lemmy.world 5 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (2 children)

Playing Metroid Dread right now, not having much fun though. Might quit and start play Ratchet and clank a rift apart tomorrow if things doesn't get any better.

[–] Fubarberry@sopuli.xyz 3 points 1 day ago

I absolutely love Metroid Dread, sorry to hear you're not enjoying it much.

[–] rollerbang@lemmy.world 2 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I've played it on the deck way back. Got through about 60% of the game iirc. Then it just got crazy for me and I've used a trainer to finish it. For the story. Not getting it one bit. I just can't invest that much time in each exaggerated boss.

[–] mrfriki@lemmy.world 2 points 1 day ago (1 children)

My biggest complaint is that the emmi zones are annoying and, time-wise are about two thirds of the game. And honestly the zones in between doesn’t feel great either and the three bosses I found so far are kinda repetitive too.

[–] rollerbang@lemmy.world 1 points 1 day ago (1 children)

So you're in the beginning of the game. It's quite extensive. I share your sentiment. Though it does seem like it might not be for you. There's a lot of returning to previous areas in the game.

[–] mrfriki@lemmy.world 1 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Well, I’m four hours in, that should be plenty of time for a game to be good at that point. I’ve played many metroidvanias that are far better than this game and all those were great from minute one. Guess this game isn’t for me :)

I still have Samus Return on my 3Ds, hope the emmi thing isn’t a staple of the series, will check it out in the future.

[–] rollerbang@lemmy.world 2 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Which others? I'm curious 🤔 I've really enjoyed Prince of Persia the Lost Crown for example.

[–] mrfriki@lemmy.world 2 points 1 day ago

My three all time favs are Guacamelee 1 and 2 and Shadow Complex. The combat and traversal of the formers is so much fun. And the settings and 2.5D if the later are so cool. Also enjoyed Castlevania symphony of the night and hollow knight quite a bit, albeit the traversal in this game is so so.

[–] rollerbang@lemmy.world 4 points 1 day ago

Spelunky 2 with mods.

[–] PainInTheAES@lemmy.world 4 points 1 day ago

Megabonk and Peglin

[–] sicarius@lemmy.world 5 points 1 day ago

Assassins creed: valhalla for the big stints.
And knights of tight spaces for when I think it's a short stint and ends up playing it for a few hours.

[–] Fubarberry@sopuli.xyz 5 points 1 day ago

I just finished Trails in the Sky 1st Chapter yesterday, so I haven't fully settled into what to play next. I think I'll go through my installed games and try to finish some games I was enjoying but never finished all the way, like Ys 9 and 1000xResist.

[–] TheMadCodger@piefed.social 4 points 1 day ago (1 children)

ESO, but in desktop mode. Otherwise, Disco Elysium when I'm on the go.

[–] thethirdobject@lemmy.world 2 points 1 day ago

the android version is nice, or at least interestingly ported

[–] barkingspiders 3 points 1 day ago

Megabonk and Hades, I love both of them so much right now

[–] 7112@lemmy.world 3 points 1 day ago

Getting back into FFXIV

Had very little time to play, so it's:

  • Brotato
  • Snø
  • ΔV - Rings of Saturn
