Odium

I’m not a multiplayer gamer, but I’m so intrigued by this game.

I just started Act 2 on Silksong and am very much addicted to Borderlands 4.

I believe I’m nearing the end of Act 1 in Silksong, loving every second of it.

@Logonogo you’re welcome. If you decide to get it I hope you enjoy it, I’m absolutely loving it, and I’m someone who didn’t quite understand the hype of the original (admittedly, this game has me wanting to go back and try it again though).

@Logonogo it can be kind of up and down. There are some enemies and bosses that hit for two health that’ll while the floor with you, but for the most part enemies hit for one. Most of the enemies aren’t too bad as long as you study their patterns. Plus, the more abilities you unlock the easier it can get.

I play the vast majority of games on normal and I haven’t found it too difficult, but on the other hand, my best friend plays a lot of games on hard and he was saying it was really tough. The platforming can be difficult but I haven’t encountered anything I thought was unfair, that’s with me being about twelve hours in, so far. I hope that helps!

I’ve played a few hours of it on Steam Deck, I really enjoyed it, but wasn’t in the mood for that kind of game. I will need to revisit it soon.

@NathanKang this is the correct answer

I’m absolutely loving Hell Is Us

I beat Shinobi Art of Vengeance yesterday. I still have a few levels to clean up to get 100% on them, but that won’t take long. Since I’m wrapping up Shinobi on Steam Deck, I caved and bought Silksong, so I’ll dabble in that some as well. I’ve also been really enjoying Hell Is Us quite a bit as my main game.

Shinobi is my second favorite game this year after Expedition 33, it’s such fantastic game.

It’s a good game, but it’s extremely overrated.

Glad I’m far more excited for Hell Is Us!

I might grab this for my son when a sale hits, seems like one he’d enjoy.

I did early access for Shinobi Art of Vengeance, so I’m decently far in that. I’m currently backtracking trying to 100% as many of the levels as I can so far. I absolutely love this game.

I started Bat Boy on Steam Deck and played some of the new levels in Astro Bot. I’m in waiting mode right now, Shinobi comes out in a few days and Hell Is Us comes out soon, so I don’t want to really jump into anything right now.

@KoopaTheGamer I’ll agree that Hollow Knight’s combat beats out Ori’s, but I don’t think it competes in its platforming. I also enjoyed the story, world, and style of Ori more.
There certainly are games that did it better and games that did it far worse than either series. Don’t get me wrong, I think Silksong will be a good, even great, game, I just don’t have the love for the first one others do.

Don’t get me wrong, the first game was a good, but I think it might be one of the most overrated games I’ve ever played. I enjoyed it, but everyone acts like it’s this masterpiece of a Metroidvania, I’d take the Ori games over this any day.

I’m down for this

Sad to say, the only thing here for me is the Sekiro anime.

Onimusha is going to be a day one purchase for me, but I’m on media blackout on that one.

Looks like I’ll have to get Crunchyroll for a bit

@AverageGamer glad to hear it’s sitting so high on Metacritic. I completely agree about Elizabeth, she was such a well written and memorable character. Infinite may have lost the horror feel but Columbia was such a fantastic setting, just like Rapture it felt alive and like a character itself. On top of all of that, the Burial at Sea DLC is my favorite DLC of all time, I adored how it tied it all together.

Apparently, I’m in the minority here, I loved Infinite, so this is good news, to me.

@aethermath I love it

Lords of the Fallen 2: Fallen for the Third Time

@LikelySatan Metal Arms is one of my all time favorite games, it’s such an underrated gem. Where are you playing it? I still have my Xbox copy but it’s not backwards compatible and I don’t have an original Xbox any more.

I’ve finally gotten around to Silent Hill 2 Remake, so I’m a couple of hours in on that. I’m also continuing my love of Ninja Gaiden Ragebound, the best modern day SNES game there is!

@arsmolinarc such an underrated gem of that generation

This is absolutely my most anticipated game right now!

Give me chess mode or Shaolin Monks and I’ll get this, without those I have no interest.

Please be true, this game is a masterpiece and I’d love to see it done as an anime.

Now that I’m back from vacation, I’ll be jumping into my long awaited Ninja Gaiden Ragebound!

I’ll renew my subscription after this all releases.

Let’s f*^*ing go! This is one of my most anticipated games.

@Glassneedles well played, join me and I’ll take your gaming pain.

Should have bought physical! Seriously though, that sucks for anyone who bought them and lost them.

I wouldn’t be surprised if that was the plan the entire time. “Announce it at $80, if there’s no backlash, great go with it, but if there is drop it to $70 and we’ll look like we are pro consumer.”

Nooooooo! This is my most anticipated game right now.

I’m still slowly making my way through Death Stranding Director’s Cut, I’m 20+ hours in and only on chapter 3. I’ve also started up Kingdom Hearts 1 again for the first time in a VERY long time.

I played the demo on Steam Deck last night, I’m sooooo hyped for this game. As far as the difficulty goes, I didn’t find it too difficult, but I only played the training and first level all the way through, and a bit of the second level, then shut it off. There’s some fairly generous check points, several secrets to find in the levels, and you can go back and replay levels. I didn’t check to see if there were difficulty settings or not. The game plays really well, if you have Steam I highly recommend checking out the demo.

I’m still making my way through Death Stranding, but a new Brandon Sanderson book came out, so that’s my main focus for my free time!

@Hapless Kojima in a nutshell

This is a great month that isn’t for me. I have Diablo and Jusant and KoF isn’t a game I’ll play.

I’ve been taking my time with Death Stranding Director’s Cut. It’s such a fantastic game, but I never finished it. I won’t be getting 2 anytime soon because I’m not the type to play games back to back like that because I’ll burn out, but at least I’ll be ready when I want to.

@TerranIV I haven’t played DS2 yet, but considering how deeply lore heavy the first game is I’d assume yes. It’s definitely worth a play through and I don’t love Kojima nearly as much as most people, in fact, I thought it was going to be terrible, but I gave it a shot anyways and was so wrong.

The Expanse is my all time favorite show, I’m so excited for this.

Nothing here for me. I already own Jusant and Diablo, I couldn’t care less about KoF. Jusant is such a great, relaxing experience.

Of course it is, I just renewed this morning. 😂

Just give me Brave Fencer Musashi for the original PlayStation, please and thank you.

I’m on a Disney vacation with the family but I’ve been squeezing in a bit of Undertale when we are back at the hotel letting everyone rest. I also started Shadow Warrior on which is the perfect amount of stupid and fun.

I’ve been playing some Elden Ring on NG+ and Castlevania Symphony of the Night
