What VIDEO GAME(s) have you been playing?

I'm seeing a ton of good stuff on sale on the PS Store.

I finally pulled the trigger on Sundered based on its provenance by the creators of Jotun (an underrated game).

It doesn't dissapoint in the beauty department, that's certain. It's a nifty platformer that has a lot of prince if Persia and ninja gaiden. Yet a fair amount of powerups thrown in for good measure.

I hate to say that the art adds substance to the design, yet I do think it does. Above and beyond just being pretty, it does add to the gameplay. If you've played Jotun, you might have an idea of what I am trying to convey.

I just got Slay the Spire it is pretty awesome. It is a total deckbuilder taken to the nines.

hi I still just play No Man's Sky

Lego, so what do you do in that game that keeps it engaging for you?

I was digging through my shed looking for some hiking/camping gear and found my old PSP from deployment. After sitting for over 10 years, it fired right up and I loaded some Pokémon games on it for my son. Kid can't read yet, but he and his older sister were completely absorbed for the hours long road trip we had this past weekend.

I also realized its a perfect Final Fantasy machine for my hour bus ride home everyday.

I had an Atari 400, with the user-proof keyboard. Star Raiders was the shit way back when.

As for what I'm playing, Darkest Dungeon. It's okay. I think watching your party go crazy is the best part.

Duuuude. I had an 800XL. Star Raiders was indeed the shit. Pitfall 2 was brutally hard and I never beat it. But the best game was Star Raiders. That game accomplished a lot for being on the 400/800. It even put most NES games to shame. You are literally the first person besides myself I have ever heard mention, let alone fan Star Raiders.

I really liked the game but I had to stop. Too punishing. And I say this as someone who 100%s dark souls and bloodborne stuff. The tax of finally grinding up a high party, getting to later dungeons, then having them all die and facing that grind again is just way too high.

I would recommend playing on Radiant difficulty, tbh, the easier one. The big thing it does us level up your characters faster.

Well for a while I had a ginormous cargo ship in which most of the slots were broken, so I was gradually getting them repaired. Now they're all fixed.

I enjoy flying to planets and trying to find all the animal species. And I like that I can play it and listen to podcasts or just chill. The game isn't yelling at me about shit I need to do, it lets me do whatever I feel like, and nothing is necessary.

see, that sounds really nice to me as well. The reviews weren't that great, but when we first saw trailers I kept thinking, "if you can just fly places and do whatever, then I'm fine with that"

It sounds pretty Zen to play.
