Topic: What (Non-PS4) game are you playing??

Sat down with Tunic today as I decided to get a month of Game Pass and so far, this game is brilliant. It feels like a completely refreshing take on the classic top-down Zelda formula as it emphasises minimal hand-holding and mixes in Souls elements such as bonfires and health potions that regenerate each time you save at a bonfire. On top of this, the music is absolutely exceptional. It's so soothing and fitting for this type of game. I genuinely feel entranced while playing this game, I can definitely see this as one of the best indie titles of the year. Highly, highly recommend that everyone check this one out.

I played a lot of the Xenoblade Chronicles 2 on the Nintendo Switch console. I found this game really interesting and much better compared with the first chapter. Right now, I am playing shooter games on my XBOX and desktop. I play at the multiple RUST servers right now with my friends, and we are playing for fun and selling some items for real money at multiple online platforms since RUST is a very popular game, so the cost of the average skin is around 3-4$. Have a good one, gamers!

Finally got round to checking out the Battlefront 2 Remastered mod for my PSP copy of Star Wars Battlefront 2. It’s really quite interesting, some maps from older games and heroes such as Asajj Ventress have been added. The game remains a lot worse than the other versions but there’s fun to be had! I have a couple other licensed ones to try too like X-Men Legends 2, Marvel Ultimate Alliance, few older football games and such.

Tagging @RogerRoger as you have a similar love of inferior versions of licensed games 😂

@LtSarge really hope Tunic comes over the PS5.

@EllaBaileq love me some XBC2. I’m starting to get pretty excited about number 3!

My Sims Kingdom Wii.

@kyleforrester87 Yeah, I hope so too or at least to Switch since it's such a fitting game for a Nintendo system.

I've been playing it more throughout the week and I keep getting surprised at how enchanted I get by this game. The combination of the music, the lovely art style and the sense of wonder as you explore just meshes together wonderfully. I haven't experienced an indie game like this since Hollow Knight, it truly is a special experience.

@RogerRoger I think I might have Elite Squadron in a cardboard box somewhere! I didn’t realise it came after Battlefront 2 actually. For some reason I thought that those two games were before Battlefront 2. One thing I’ll say about the PSP port of Battlefront 2 is that Droidekas can capture the flag while rolled into a ball which absolutely ruins the entire mode 😂

Go Vacation Switch

Just started Kirby and the Forgotten Land. It's a delight. Not as good as the best 3D Marios, but a top-shelf Nintendo exclusive nonetheless. And it has enough optional objectives in each level to make them worth replaying, along with a ton of unlockable challenge levels.

Between it and Triangle Strategy, I've been spending a lot of time on my Switch as of late.

@Ralizah Kirby is probably a good palate cleanser after Elden Ring, if nothing else. I was gonna download the demo when I was over my parents at the weekend, but alas it totally escaped my mind.

Dance Dance Revolution 5th Mix PS1

@RogerRoger Well that’s great timing, I installed Tomb Raider II on my Vita last night, so that I can start it tonight! I did enjoy the first one even with the weird controls and rather irritating final level so hoping the second game’s as good.

Halo 3. Since Spyro the Dragon has been a disappointment for me, I dropped that for the time being and switched to Halo 3 on my Series X. I don't remember playing much of the campaign, if any at all, when it was first released on the Xbox 360. My slow road to going through the Halo series so I can finally play Halo Infinite's campaign continues though, and so far I'm enjoying it.

@RogerRoger I usually love a sunken wreck location, but it drags on for too long and outstays its welcome in Tomb Raider II. It didn't help that the levels just before it were also dreary, modern, man-made areas.

The Last Revelation is my favourite of the classic Core Design Tomb Raiders. It can get tricky, but it's fairer and has a much better difficulty curve than TR III.

@LN78 I’ve heard seriously fantastic things about the Saturn’s D-Pad. Tempted to pick up a repro of one, the best I’ve tried is the Vita’s with how clicky it is.

Jeez, Tomb Raider II really throws you in at the deep end doesn’t it? The Great Wall was a bloody nightmare especially considering I didn’t find any save crystals and kept dying to a never-ending wave of traps. Can’t tell if the traps were great level design or not because I was too busy having to restart the level over and over.

Oh for f**k sake, only found out there I could save anywhere. You’d think such a massive improvement for the sequel would be explained.

@nessisonett lol at your saving issue. Yes, you can save anywhere 😂 did you find the T-Rex(or two?)

It’s really not a hard level at all, once you know you can save!

@nessisonett honestly I've been laughing at the thought of you playing the first level in one hit all morning. "I cant find any save crystals!!"

Kills me :')

@kyleforrester87 It wasn’t explained anywhere! Took me way longer than it should have 😂

@RogerRoger Thanks for the reference, I’ll definitely need that!

Vampire Survivors. Bought the Steam release because I'd been playing the browser version quite a bit. It is extremely addictive.
