Board, card, or video games - what’s being played this week?
Playing wow only this time I’m making an army lol. Got dragonflight but seem to get to lol 60 and then think ill try a different class and delete my character. The gf plays he’ll at me for doing this been doing it for the past year or 2 .
So decided make one of every class and level them all up
I’ve been getting back into No Man’s Sky, I hadn’t played in a while so I’m trying to catch up with the recent updates. It’s always been a great chillout game for me, just exploring systems and finding odd new life forms.
A box has just turned up with My City: Roll & Write and Lost Cities (unintended city theme in this order), so I’ll be playing those!
Trying to play though ff16 but it’s so difficult because it’s so awfull.
It’s not ff, it’s not an RPG and the performance is terrible and the side quests are dull.
Im renting it and I may just send it back before even finishing it.
I game nowhere near as much as I used to but Shadowverse on the iPad is a nice collectible card to enjoy when I have free time.
Oxygen Not Included. Now on a much more powerful PC than all previous times – maybe I won’t have to abandon my duplicants when I get to the third asteroid and things get too laggy.
This game always gives me such a hard time. I watch guys like Francis John on YouTube and realize I don’t have an engineering degree to play it haha
I downloaded Hitman from game pass last night and managed to get an hour or so in. Haven’t played a Hitman game in a long time so quite enjoyed it.
Otherwise it’s been the usual rotation of Rimworld and Forza, but also very much looking forward to Cities Skylines 2. Not sure I’ve ever been this excited about roundabouts.
Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom
I’ve done the 4 regional phenomena and all the geoglyphs, I’m clearing off some side quests before continuing (finishing?)
Not sure why but I bounced off of Tears hard. I played and finished Breath, but within 5 hours I’d had my fill with TotK.
Suspect it’s a me thing more than the game.
I think it is a great game - I’m loving the sandbox feel and the “anything goes” way of traversing the map, solving problems etc - but I admit it doesn’t have the same sense of wonder and immersion (I think?) as BOTW somehow.
It’s also the first time I’ve made use of any item duplication glitches (it seems like the only “fun” / non-grindy way of making use of the new building mechanic) so maybe that, plus being able to just fly around everywhere on DIY contraptions, has taken some of the fun / point out of wandering around the map 🤷♂️
Tears of the Kingdom every evening since it arrived. It’s so good.
My steam deck is gathering dust somewhere, barely used since I got it!
My bass.
I got myself one of these little RG35XX handheld emulation devices for £60 and stuck on some custom firmware. I’ve been having blast. About halfway through a bug fixed Final Fantasy VI ROM hack, also playing some Zelda Oracle of Seasons and Mario and Luigi Superstar Saga.
That RG35XX looks neat. I’ll pick one up. Thanks.
Yeah, I got it on a bit of a whim and wasn’t expecting much. The stock firmware is poor, but GarlicOS is great. A wee bit of mucking about to get things nicely scaled, but I wholeheartedly recommend it.
Vampire Survivors on my phone.
Addictive as hell. Completed 100%, now going through and completing every level with every character. about 25% of the way there currently.
I bought this on Steam during the hype train for it. 100% could not get into it, just didn’t find it engaging or fun.
