Another week another thread!
What have you all been playing this week? Anything you’re particularly looking forward to in the short term?
Horizon: Zero Dawn, almost non-stop. The mechanics can be a bit finicky sometimes, but the story and world building keep me coming back.
There are a lot of little things that I really don’t like about it and these almost certainly exist because it was originally exclusive to Playstation. I sometimes find my self a bit irked because there was so much more they could’ve done to make it a classic. Instead, it’s just good enough.
Deep Rock Galactic - I should have probably picked it up earlier. It’s such a wonderful co-op game with so many memorable, epic moments happening.
Very charming atmosphere, too.More Final Fantasy 14. I’ve started the Heavensward post-game content (I guess you can call it that?).
I’m done with all the optional dungeons and raids you unlock after the base story, and now I’m continuing with the story quests that were added in later patches. There’s just so much time-wasting, back and forth bullshit, that it’s just a chore, though. Start quest in town A, go to town B for a short cutscene, go to town C for another short cutscene, go back to town A for yet another cutscene. Since you can teleport everywhere by this point, it doesn’t take long, but is just so boring. That’s why I’m constantly queuing for random dungeons and hang out in the Gold Saucer, basically avoiding the story.
As for classes, I’ve mainly played Reaper, which is fun, and today started trying out Dancer, and had a good time as well.
Warhammer 40k Boltgun
Still playing Final Fantasy XVI. The story and characters are fantastic. Now that I’ve put some time into it, the combat feels pretty great. Excited to see where it goes. I feel like I’m still in the first quarter of the game.
Borrowed Metroid Dread at the library. I love the game, but I’m having a real tough time. It’s a little too hard for me, but I’m still hoping to finish it.
Dave the Diver. It’s a great blend of Subnautica, Recettear, and absurdity.

Just finished DREDGE. It was a lot of fun, and the first game I ever gained all of the achievements 😄.
I fell off a little after I got to the second section (the ring of islands with the thing in the middle) - it was starting to feel a bit same-ish. Does it get a bit more varied?
Not too much, but by that point I was just enjoying catching fish, maxing out my boat, and started to test my sleep deprivation limits.
Still Vampire Survivors and Satisfactory, if I can get a break in Vampire Survivors…
Stardew Valley. But I’m trying to decide if I want to buy a console to play Hogwarts Legacy.
I don’t know what you expect from hogwarts legacy, but heres my 2 cents.
If you come for a Hogwarts lifesim, a sort of Bully but set in Hogwarts, with the feeling of attending the school and classes, and take part in school life and interacting with other students, dont buy a console for Hogwarts Legacy.
All these parts are severely underdeveloped and dissapointing. While there are many students standing about all the time, you will only interacty with anyone when a quest requires you to. 90% of npcs you will meet twice: when they give you a quest, and a secend time when you return to them to finish the quest.If you come to Hogwarts Legacy for a decent action game (i wouldnt call it a rpg, there are numbers involved, but they are absolutly meaningless) with huge collections to aquire, and the pretty, Harry Potter flavoured, visuals, then you will have fun with the game. But maybe don’t buy a console just for Hogwarts.
I started Hades recently and have been enjoying it a lot. I’m debating if I should pick up Sonic Frontiers, it’s been forever since I played a Sonic game.
Sonice frontiers is fantastic! Took me back to the good ole days of playing on a Sega Genesis and Dreamcast. Also a great opportunity to catchup on Sonic lore. Heres a good summary of the, though it does go over Sonic Frontiers, so beware spoilers!
I’m playing Tom Clancy’s The Division (using GeForceNow). And I’m really liking it. Dying is not really frustrating, but challenging at most. Progression is not hard and the story is really enjoyable.
Out of curiosity, do you experience any crashes/disconnects?
I quit playing the game due to heavy crashes in the middle of missions. Was a widespread and known issue.
EDIT: forgot to mention, PC wise. Not console.
I haven’t played since last week, but I’ve never experienced any crashes. Anyway, I’ve seen that on Reddit someone was complaining about the same problems as you.
