Well I have a few hours into Satisfactory now and enjoying it. What have you all been playing?

I saw the "rate my space platform" post and my wallet levitated out of my pocket and Factorio's space age dlc installed itself. It's been a few years since my rocket base so I'm starting from scratch. Whooboy I forgot how much of a threat biters are and I'm not using anyone's blueprints..... It's a bit rough but factorio remembers where it's clawmarks were and I'm already starting oil processing and and the factory must grow

After I get through satisfactory I am going to get factorio. I can see more calculators and excel sheets in my future.

Enshrouded. So goooood!

sytone@lemmy.world · 3 pts · 1y

Seconded. I have played a fair bit. Have not finished the last set of additions as I started to rebuild. Looking forward for the NPCs to be more dynamic which seems to be planned for the next release.

I just got a Pseudo saturn Kai for my Sega Saturn, and was able to play Nights Into Dreams on native hardware for the first time. It's nice going back to the arcade-style games, especially since all the new stuff is so different from the classics.

I have a friend who is starting to collect consoles. It will be fun to load up some old classics and play them. I have an old Wii we use sometimes for Mario racing.

Satisfactory, so many things to do. I'm still not done yet and have 300 hours in this one save. (About 900 hours in total). Great game, made by great people.

I know a guy who's 60+ who's playing the game because you can build however fast and slow as you want.

I logged probably 100 hours into satisfactory before the spaghetti overwhelmed me, but I keep intending to go back and give it another shot.

thesporkeffect@lemmy.world · 3 pts · 1y

I ended up tearing the entire factory up and rebuilding 3-4 times in my first save.

sytone@lemmy.world · 1 pts · 1y

Embrace the spaghetti! It is always like that in the beginning and then when you have some resources you clean up as you expand. I have played it a fair bit and all the starting phases are a slight mess. My problem is I never space things out enough.

Chivalry II always fun

An indie single player roguelite extraction fps called Witchfire

And of course also Satisfactory (Id be playing factorio again for the 8th round but I do not have the time right now)

Transportation Fever 2.

I'm playing on PS5, but I saw the Steam deluxe edition is only $15 on sale now.

Am I really debating buying a game I already have? Yes I am debating that.

Something, something, Skyrim....

Godthrilla@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 1y

Fallout new Vegas with ttw...I've got to be over 2000 hours on this game over my life. It's so nice to come back and experience it again

Just finished Super Hydorah. It's sort of felt like a SNES gradius clone. Fun and not too hard for a shooter. Good stuff

Tonight, I started playing Gato Roboto. It's obvious Metroid clone. Graphics are interesting being two colors but after a bit I didn't really care.

Both games are in same for like $2 on Steam right now.

sytone@lemmy.world · 1 pts · 1y

I like the graphics styling. I never really got into the side scrollers or platformers. I did not enjoy the rushed nature of most of them.

Deadlock.

Game is crack

sytone@lemmy.world · 1 pts · 1y (1 reply)

Have not played. Looks similar to a CTF based game. Which I would want to play a lot. Which is why I am now not going to play especially since you endorsed it as Crack...

Wooki@lemmy.world · 1 pts · 1y

It is highly addictive. A lot of fun, very competitive though which does bring out the worst in people

I recently got a triple monitor setup finally hooked up and configured. I hadn't played American Truck Simulator in a long time, but I picked up the Midwestern states on sale. In the evenings, I've been enjoying exploring those routes, making deliveries as part of their Halloween event and listening to tunes.

sytone@lemmy.world · 1 pts · 1y (1 reply)

That sounds pretty chill. How accurate is it? I assume they are using real maps for the roads but how is the filling out of the environment around the roads?

grumpo_potamus@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 1y

Eh.. It's not particularly accurate per se. The map is scaled down quite a bit (in-game time is altered accordingly), so not using real maps. Some more major routes are represented and you may see some landmarks you recognize if you're in a familiar area.

It's fun to see their take on these areas (their team visits the US, checks out a state, then creates that as DLC), but you'll probably be laughing at just how short the drive from point A to point B is in an area you know and wonder where the missing areas went.

Simulator - nah. Chill way to unwind with some tunes and drive at a leisurely pace - yep.

PoorYorick@lemmy.world · 1 pts · 1y

I am a huge sucker for metroidvania types and recently picked up Hollow Knight. The game hits that exploration and discovery itch perfectly, and each time you power up makes re-exploring the areas a real treat.

I can see why it has the reputation as one of the best metroidvania games out there.

I got Dying Light 2 on sale a few days ago. I loved and hated the first one, which I finished last month. It was stressful but also fun. So far I think I liked the first game more, but I’m starting to enjoy 2.

I’ve also been dragging my feet on finishing Elden Ring, taking long breaks here and there. Another game I love and also hate sometimes.

Soon I’ll play Miles Morales, which I assume will be similar to Spiderman Remastered, and thus a nice break from stressful games.

sytone@lemmy.world · 1 pts · 1y

I don't have the time to burn on Elden Ring. Also not sure if the frustration it would bring would be good for me or anyone around me. :)

UFO 50. The Wild West RPG Grimstone in the collection has been my week.

sytone@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 1y

Nice collection of games. The RPG reminds me of gameboy games.
