Recently I’ve been playing a lot of Balatro and Spiritfarer on my Steam Deck and/or Linux gaming rig.
I’m also in and out on Guild Wars 2. They released the second part of the current expansion recently, but it hasn’t been sparking joy. I think I might just need a break from this one for a while.
I haven’t heard of the former two, so I looked them up on YT. While I suck at card games, Spiritfarer looks really good with the hand drawn art style. I’ve heard of Guild Wars, but MMORPGs and Fantasy in general aren’t quite my area of expertise.
I currently play a lot more casual/cozy games. On my XSX, it’s currently Spirit of the North (puzzle platformer, rather cozy except some infuriating mechanics) and The Talos Principle (harder puzzles and more intellectual message - my dad plays it too and we usually compare how we’re doing so far). On PC, my Laptop can only run few games so I stay with retro-styled stuff. World of Horror is my current game on Steam, but even in the easiest mode it’s quite hard for me (RPG noob, totally unfamiliar with turn based combat system and those DnD-like stats). I’ve yet to find enough time to get back into my usual FPS and horror games - I hope this will improve once my exams are done next year.
Cool! I haven’t heard of Spirit of the North, looks like an interesting game.
The Talos Principle is a great game, I think I got most of the way through before I set it aside (as is typical for me and puzzle games). I remember some of the puzzles being very mind-bendy.
The Witness is a similar game to The Talos Principle that I’d recommend. Very similar vibe, though perhaps less intellectual/dark.
It is interesting, but unfortunately not that well optimized in terms of controls. Basically, I got it and Thalos Principle during the sales weeks to get back into regular gaming. Given that my job is very demanding both physically and mentally, I mostly rely on cozy and/or casual games atm.
I’ve always enjoyed puzzle games that aren’t way too hard. The Witness is definitely on my list, I remember checking it out a few years ago. So far, I have completed What remains of Edith Finch and Superliminal this year, but for the latter I definitely needed some guides at certain frustrating parts.
What game(s) are you currently playing and on what system? Always nice to hear someone else enjoying video games.
