Weekly what have you been playing discussion - week of September 29th, 2024

Oh my, I'm addicted to Satisfactory.

One hour turns into four at the blink of an eye.

Please send help...

For some reason decided to give Kenshi a shot. Big mistake. What a timesink!

I'm still making my way through Divinity: Original Sin II, and it's largely giving me more of what I love about Baldur's Gate 3, especially by comparison to the first D:OS. There are some crucial systems that I think D&D handles better, but I'm having a great time.

Usually ramp up the horror/spooky games about this time every year. Hades 2, Ghostwire Tokyo, Alan wake "American nightmare" dlc which is terrible so far. Resident Evil 2 remake.

Alien Isolation. This game really nails the original alien aesthetics. Not a perfect game but I'm happy it's a love letter to the original movie.

Cuphead.

I suck.

Despite not being sure about returning to it, I finished "Lost Judgment". Took me another 20 hours on top of the 30 I already spent on it.

I will preface this by saying, that I love the Yakuza series this is based on. But man did I hate "Judgment" and "Lost Judgment". The mechanics are good and the second one improves them in a lot of ways, but the writing of the story and the characters is just really bad. I am glad that there will never be a third part.

I also played the first hour of "Quake 4". Feels like "Quake of Duty", not impressed.
