I’m enjoying Control. It’s pretty good fun to play, but the story has really grabbed me.
Hope sequel will be as good as first one
Started playing Factorio again with a friend, been fun so far. Just today I played Tooth and Tail again which is really cool, as well as Skullgirls Second Encore which I’m not great at but is still fun.
BattleBit Remastered
I’m not sure if it counts for patient gaming but it’s super lightweight and so damn fun.
I finished Nine Sols last month and I can’t recommend it enough. Aside from being a great metroidvania all around: great art, great music, great combat… I was most surprised by how good the story is. The world they built is really cool. Also, it’s currently on sale. Would recommend.
On the Deck, Skyrim with mods and specifically beyond Skyrim Bruma. I have figured out how to install mods and you can sink a lot of hours in good ol’ Skyrim.
I also play Life is Strange: True Colours on the Deck.
Additionally the farmer was replaced is a fun little Python like game where you need to write Python like code to automate the manual labor on your farm. But this I play on the desktop.
I just soft modded my old PS2 so I could boot game backups from a network share. So I’m playing Gran Turismo 3, NFS underground 2, Tony hawk’s Pro skater 4, NBA street vol. 2, and GTA: San Andreas. Basically everything and anything my teenage self loved at the time.
Battlefield Bad Company 2 (from 2010)
It’s still very much playable in multiplayer! If you happen to have a copy - via “Project Rome” you litterally just have to drop one file from them into the game folder and boom - you got a working server browser again! I forgot how incredible the sound design in this game is.
People are still playing? That’s tempting, I still haven’t found something that hits the spot this game did.
Yeah I was surprised as well. There is not an overwhelming amount of players, but the last few days there were consistently 2-4 servers with close to 32 people online.
Stardew, trying to get that 100% thingy
I got myself mildly addicted to Mindustry. Wiping out enemy bases can be pretty satisfying.
I’m addicted to Mindustry, and I wouldn’t say it’s mild lol. Started playing it a few months ago, absolutely love it
Just got a surface duo i will use for nintendo ds emulation, so when i get my new gamepad and stylus in the mail later this week i will pick up and start an old ds game i have never played. But i havent decided yet so im not really answering your question…
If you like JRPGs and haven’t played it, Radiant Historia would be a great choice.
Thanks for the rec!
Replaying Kingdom Come: Deliverance, but this time no save scumming and on the Steam Deck. It’s really good, but the slight vibe of sexism bugs me.
Also playing the excellent Tactical Breach Wizards.
Persona 5 Royale. Its my first time playing a persona game and also my first JRPG. Currently 20 hours in. The lawyer woman is really funny.
I’ve started on X4, and love it!
🤣 it’s a 20 year old MMO called Wurm Online. The pacing and skill depth is pretty amazing for an older more patient audience.
DOOM (2016). I originally got it when it came out, I wasn’t very patient then, but largely played multiplayer. I’ve been playing the campaign this time around and I’m enjoying it quite a bit.
