Sorry this discussion post is a bit late, I should probably set a reminder for it.
Been having a lot of fun with Core Keeper.
Hollow Knight; I’m playing it for the first time and I’ve progressed enough to get the true ending, but I’m going to do some of the side content before I do. Probably not 100%ing, I’ve already struggled to get this far, but I’ll try to get every charm and finish the Troupe before finishing off my playthrough. It’s a great game, and I’m definitely excited to play Silksong, if that manages to release within my lifetime.
Three games I played recently:
Among Ashes - Somewhat short, but ended up being quite good. It does a good job at building tension and generally doesn’t rely on cheap jump scares.
10 Dead Doves - One of the few games I that made me want to play through a second time. Interesting story, some funny moments, emotional moments, good voice acting. I highly recommend this one.
In Sound Mind - This was sitting in my backlog for a while and I wasn’t really expecting much, but I ended up really enjoying this one too. The ending even had me feeling emotional, which is very rare, but
(potential spoiler)
it made me think about my own cat who died a few months ago.
Appreciate the links. Apperently i have In Sound Mind, so i guess I’ll give that a go soon.
Last game I played was Lorelai. Why did nobody tell me how frickin awesome that game is? I thought it was a generic jumpscare 3d horror indy. But it’s actually really cool horror adventure. And the previous title in the series The Cat Lady is even more badass.
Got Lorelai some time ago for free on GOG and never played it because of above reservations. But somehow it always stayed in my head so I decided to actually try it and was blown away.

My coworkers keep telling me to do The Witcher. I’m interested in doing civ7 but also c/patientgamers lol.
I have been liking Halo Wars, MCC, Hollow Knight and Hades on the deck.
The Witcher is amazing, highly recommend it, especially if you are into RPGs with meaningful story
If you like Halo, and I know this is scandalous to say, but try Halo Infinite on the Big Team Battle playlist!
Halo multiplayer has never been this good and I don’t necessarily say that because I am a massive fan of Halo Infinite, it is just undeniably damn good halo.
I am not quite into MP at the moment, but maybe I will. I did like H3 MP so much back in the day.
It feels like halo 3 MP+, don’t listen to people who still bash the multiplayer, their opinion is out of date, whoever is currently calling the shots at Halo infinite’s multiplayer dev team clearly genuinely loves halo multiplayer, it is unmistakable in the whole vibe of big team battle.
There is also a forge mode like halo 3!
Cassette Beasts. I tried Brotato its okay but I’m not as much of a fan.
Casette beasts just launched on mobile.
Sd card beasts
A bit of Balatro and Tiny Terry’s Turbo Trip when i want a short session.
Have also installed Borderlands 2 to try out Stick Flicking. Aiming is going great, still trying to learn to turn around in hectic situations. But at least the steam controller configurations are great.
I’ve mostly been emulating lately. I’ve been playing Quest for Hat, which is an Earthbound rom hack, and Donkey Kong Country 2 since those have RetroAchievement’s achievement of the week and achievement of the month respectively.
Animal Crossing for the Switch, at the moment.
Balatro - trying to beat black stakes on blue deck currently
Black Book - fun little deck building game with surprising depth when it comes to lore, I’d day the amount of game mechanics makes it a wide but shallow game, it’s not a bad thing, it’s easy to get into, easy to play, and gives just enough to have this RPG feeling
Deep Rock Galactic Survivor - haven’t played in a long time so I just discovered the new biome, beautiful, and I like the new challenges, I still think it’s the superior “survivor” game, but I’m afraid once it comes out of early access, the genre as a whole will be out of fashion
Playing Baldur’s Gate 3 again, after a several month hiatus from it. But this time I’m doing Honour Mode for the first time, currently working through Act I.
It’s tough! Especially early game. I decided for some hard-to-kill character builds, to try to avoid team wipes.
Playing as Gale, target build is Drac Sorc (Cold) 1, Abj Wiz 11, specced on INT. Idea is to get utility cantrips, scales, and Armor of Ag from sorcerer, everything else goes into making Gale an Arcane Ward tank. He sprints into melee combat, the enemies kill themselves on the Armor of Ag retaliation when they hit him, rinse and repeat as much as needed.
Also having Karlach be the BarBearian, taking half damage from everything as she rages, and healing with that heal mace you pick up in Act 1 every time she clocks someone with it. It’s working well so far, hopefully it stays viable as the game goes on.
Mario Odyssey, Civ 6, Crash Bandicoot N’Sane Trilogy. and Ascent.
Having lots of fun with these games. Still amazes me how switch emulation is so smooth on the Deck.
Kingdom Come: Deliverance 1 and I’m overwhelmed by the dexterity required in combat. KC:D has a really dirty combat system: Even if you’re doing everything right and unless the fight is decided very quickly, you’re gonna get some serious hits.
I’ve been playing through Lost Judgement lately, and really enjoying it. I enjoy the Yakuza/LAD games in general, but I think Judgement/Lost Judgement really benefits from the gameplay additions for detective work. The game runs pretty well on Steam Deck too.
Also been playing through Doom Eternal again, which is always enjoyable. Playing with gyro aiming and flickstick for quick turning is a great way to play the game without a mouse.
Same! Just started Judgement on the Deck. Continuing Persona 3 Re and Logiart Grimoire. Also got back into Diablo 4, but enjoy that on big PC more (neither sharp 40fps nor fsr blurry 60fps quite hit the spot on Deck)
I really wanted to try Judgement from its description, but I have a hard time getting through Yakuza games because although they’re great, they are a bit too long for me.
Is Judgment / Lost Judgment as big as a “regular” Yakuza?
Yes, they’re big games. You can get through them much faster if you skip side content, but that’s a lot of the charm of the games.
