Howdy all! Just finished another shift diggin’ for gold, and me beard is itchin’ for a new vein to explore. What mines games have you been spelunkin playin’ this week? Found any diamonds in the rough? Let’s swap some nuggets of wisdom in the comments below!
Some Singleplayer Escape from Tarkov. It’s a mod for Tarkov that you can play offline, which replaces real players with bots. My god, finally I can enjoy the game without the damn hackers and the shitty netcode. Sure, it is not the same, but it’s fun enough to entertain me for a few hours in the evening.
I also played Ultima Online for about an hour. Never played it before and was curious. It certainly has charm but it didn’t age well, even in the enhanced version. The graphics are tolerable, but the controls are… difficult. I kind of want to play it some more though.
Lastly, I fooled around in the current “skate.” beta for an hour or two. In the last few playtests little had changed, but this time they added a whole new area, which was nice to explore. I am really excited for the full version, but I fear EA will go overboard with the microtransactions.
