Just played The Quarry, and it was a blast. Can highly recommend if you enjoy choices based story games. My favorite genres are story games, turn based tactical, and roguelikes. I find I don’t have a huge amount of time to play, so I like games that aren’t too complex and that you can pick up and play without having to remember how the game works.

Didn’t follow TGAs this year. For 2024 games, I really enjoyed Selaco, Spiritfall, Portal Revolution, and Arco.

Got back into playing pokken (am getting consistent wins against hard AI now yay)

I only played around 5 minutes of the My Sims Kingdom that came out on the Switch. I am in my finals week so I haven’t been able to play anything, but after the 19th I’m free (until January)! My favourite genre seems to be cozy games, so that’s interesting, although I also like Baldur’s Gate 3 and Legend of Zelda, so I don’t know what to say about that.

I don’t pay attention to the game awards, I think CaseOh won something. I liked playing my switch games and some on steam this year, not much gaming from me unfortunately. I imagine next year will be even less games because it’s my final year of undergrad which means I have to lock in.

This was probably the best TGA ever. Even the skits were funny. Definitely intrigued by the idea of an Elden Ring spin-off but the football game from the Sifu devs looked really cool too.

@Makan I’ve played a bit of Mirthwood an indie game that’s kind of a mashup between stardew valley and the sims

Then went to check out Path of Exiles 2 which I’m enjoying so far.

caves of qud 1.0 out now babeyy!!! also been playing gyruss for the arcade and panel de pon/puzzle league/tetris attack.

fav video genres are roguelikes, puzzle games, and arcade games like shmups.

there was a game awards…?

ring racers is THE game of 2024 in my heart and soul and spirit and its factual go play ring racers

Still on factorio. About 120 hours into the save. Pausing now to study programming a bit, but will play less hard, for the upcoming months, likely.

Replayed two flash games from my childhood that held up incredibly well. First was Battle of Britain 303 Squadron, and the second 1066. Would recommend if you have 15 minutes to spare!

I was soooo excited for Veilguard. Guess which game I kinda hate? 😅

I’ve been playing some Pokémon. I’m mostly finished w/ Fire Red, just need to rematch the Elite 4, and I’m mostly done with Let’s Go Pikachu too, which I started playing because a friend is also playing right now. And although it is extremely easy difficulty wise, I’m doing a living dex since catching Pokémon in this game is, at least, fun.

I’m getting the urge to go back to Baldur’s Gate 3, Breath of the Wild and Disco Elysium, all which I haven’t finished yet, unfortunately.

About TGA, I wasn’t expecting another FromSoftware game, and it being an Elden Ring alternate reality 3-player roguelike? SIGN ME IN, the trailer was cool, I want to see where this goes. Other than that, the only other games that caught my attention where the football game which looked so fucking cool, and this comes from someone that absolutely hate sports games, specially Fifa; The Long Dark looked super cool too and the new Ninja Gaiden looked amazing. I’m also interested in Onimusha after the trailer on TGA, so I’ll take a look into the games some time.

I finished Tactical Breach Wizards recently, which is weird, because I usually bounce hard off turn based tactical games. I also generally suck at them. That doesn’t stop me trying them every once in a while because I really -want- to get into them. TBW is one of those rare ones that plays more like a puzzle game and I really enjoyed it. I played on easy and found the mechanics very forgiving. Gameplay mostly revolves around setting up combos with each character’s unique skills, allowing for some very satisfying outcomes when everything goes to plan. Writing is top notch; the story is fun, funny, engaging, humorous and touching with some really good character moments. Art style is very much low-poly pastel indie style, but it’s well executed and looks good IMO. Veterans of the genre might find it a little simplistic, and the main campaign is fairly short, but I absolutely loved it.

Finished Berwick Saga recently. Definitely one of the best and most unique turn-based strategy games I’ve ever played. Will probably take forever to play it again because the level of long-term strategy is draining at some points, but I absolutely loved it.

Not sure if I am just too busy or if it’s an industry thing, but I honestly didn’t get excited for anything out of TGA. Don’t even know much about the nominated games. None of them run on my PC either way.

Depending on my level of energy I might play Möbius Front or Xenonauts 1, or just sit back and enjoy some random couch co-op games with my holiday visitor.

I’ve been playing a lot of Baldi’s Basics Plus (0.8 update) recently. Probably going to play either more FreedroidRPG or Songs of Syx next. My favorite genres are still the same: Any type of RPG (turn-based, action, …) and RTS games, particularly more complex city builders.

I’ve watched TGA but there is nothing really in particular that stands out to me. Maybe Witcher 4? But I want to see some gameplay first. In terms of 2024 games I really enjoyed Portal: Revolution.

Finished bulletstorm,

Starting sekiro.

i like to play hitman, and i was playing again deus ex: mankind divided. is a pretty nice game, breach mode is pretty cool too
