    Kerbal Space Program 2. The new For Science! update finally made the game fun and performant! And because I suck at the game, I needed to send 4 rescue missions to return Valentina from the Mun.

        Base game, not including mods? It’s comparable, especially if you didn’t like career mode and preferred science mode. I can see where they’re going and I really like it personally.

        However, if you also include mods, and you kinda have to… the sheer quality and amount of mods that really elevate ksp1 is going to make the answer to this question “no” until it has been out for years. You simply cannot compete with a decade of overhauls, dlc sized expansion mods, and visual upgrades.

    I don’t play games as much as I used to, but I had a lot of fun recently with Carrion - you play an alien hive mind eating scientists and fighting security through an Area 51 style facility.

    I finished Baldur’s Gate 3, so i fell in the post-great-game melancholy. I reinstalled Hades and Stardew Valley, but ya know

        I played the one, all the way to the big fight at the end, failed it and got too exhausted to reload and redo it… But it was a really good game though , it’s true! Is the 2 as good/better?

          “The 2” is the best RPG I have ever played in my life. The combat system and the overall style of the game is famazing! I especially loved all the cheese.

    Just finished Full Void, a pixel graphics cinematic puzzle platformer in the style of Another World. Cool original soundtrack, nice style and animation, great atmosphere and world building despite no words.

    2 hours long main story, cool indie project with great attention to detail. Well worth the money.

    If you play it you will be surprised who it is dedicated to, as you can read at the end of the game.

  • I started up Cult of the Lamb more seriously. I had it at launch, but it didn’t hold my attention between Hades for the roguelite action and RimWorld for the colony stuff.

    But I’m currently bored of those two, so I’m playing this. Shit was getting frustrating with the gains for going and doing the dungeons… Until I learned that I wasnt actually cooking all my fish and had tons of fish meant to be sold. Money solved literally all my problems. Just like it would in real life 😭

    Getting back into Monster Hunter World! Trying to tackle those endgame Iceborne quests and getting my ass kicked quite often. It’s really satisfying getting a good build going with armor set bonuses and stacking skills.

    Also finally playing Super Mario Odyssey. What a game. The controls are so tight and responsive. I love exploring every nook and cranny, high and low, and almost always getting some kind of reward out of every effort and idea.

    INSIDE absolutely blew me away a few months ago, and I got a recommendation for Little Nightmares in a discussion about it. After about half an hour, I’ve gotta say, it’s properly weird and I wonder what’s it got in stock for me.

    Cyberpunk 2077 phantom liberty. It’s really good, like, better than most of the story in the vanilla game. It’s a really cool detective story that really fleshes out V’s character.

    I just finished Stray. I’m not really a cat person but it was actually really enjoyable. Turns out cats are great platformers!

    I also finished Strange Horticulture yesterday. That was a pleasant surprise especially since it was set in the Lake District.

    I’m now trying to decide between starting Baldur’s Gate 3 (I am not a fan of turn based combat), Immortality or The Talos Principle 2.

    I’ve been playing the Mario RPG remake. I remember loving the game as the kid, but as I get to each part of the game I’m like “Damnit, I hate this level!”, and it happens over and over again and I’m like “wait, why do I like this game? I hate this game.”

    With that said I’m still playing it because I’m almost done with it so I may as well finish it.

    It’s easier than I remember, but I also played the original when I was like 10 years old, so maybe it used to be more difficult because I wasn’t as good at video games when I was 10.

    I’m excited to finish it because I have an OLED Steam Deck on the way, and I’m trying to sort out what I’m going to play first. Any suggestions for controller friendly games that run well on the deck? I think Dave the Diver is near the top of that list. I’m not to keen on playing first person shooters with joysticks, that’s what my PC is for.

    I’m currently playing one of the games in Last Call BBS: 20th Century Food Court.

    For anyone familiar with the Zachtronics catalog of games it’s like someone bolted one of the programming games onto one of their factory games, but the programming part is done using cables. Unsurprisingly, programming with cables gets quite messy, so even after a short break I usually have to restart a puzzle because I don’t recognize what part was supposed to do what anymore.

    So yeah, great game, would recommend.
