    Grim Dawn; ARPG from 2016, currently on sale for a few $ on steam. Very well rated with solid story, mechanics, and campaign focus (instead of more on seasons and grind).

      Very good ARPG with tons of depth to build making and a nice dark fantasy theme. One half of my favorite Diablo-likes, the other being the much simpler and more casual Torchlight 2.

      I just purchased Grim Dawn this morning. It’s on deep discount and I figured it wouldn’t hurt my feelings if I didn’t get around to playing it for awhile. I haven’t started it up yet, got too many other things on my plate and several other games ahead in my queue of things I want to play.

    I’ve been playing persona 5 Royal for the past 2 months, i’m finally in the last hours and loving as much as the start, can’t recommend this game more, it’s my favorite game so far

        I do hope so, i know there’s still a good amount of content, but the game is finally starting to close up the main story, and 10/15 hours in a 100+ hours game is still the final hours for me

      Will I enjoy Persona 5 if I didn’t like all the grinding in Persona 4? I liked the cutscenes, the characters, the gameplay, the music but at some point you just keep doing the same dungeon over and over again and I just quit there.

        As someone who plays on normal and try to rush the dungeons a best as i can, i haven’t really farm on this game up until now, but because of that some bosses are a real challenge with in my opinion is a great thing. And remember the easy mode is there for a reason, you don’t need to shy away from using if you just wanna to enjoy the story without dedicating too much in the battle system

    Bought the tomb raider games (the modern ones) earlier this year on sale, summer I want to say? Finally getting around to playing them

      They’re pretty good and fun. Shadow starts to get to be a bit of a slog though, especially if you play each game right after the other. It’s still pretty good though, it has the best gameplay of the trilogy (you can FINALLY sprint in that one).

    Not sure if it counts as a patient game, but I’ve just started Persona 3 Reload (the original game came out in 2006 and I never played it, so maybe that’s acceptable?)

    I love how stylish everything is - the music, UI and animations. So pretty. The story has quite a different vibe from the other persona games I’ve played too.

    I got the Tomb Raider Legend trilogy for less than $3 cause I just finished playing the reboot trilogy after spending $10 for all three of those and their DLCs.

    I started with Anniversary, but went back and started Legend because the order is apparently Legend, Anniversary, then Underworld. I’m kinda into it so far. I get why these adventure/mercenary type games are so popular and people kept making them with Uncharted and such.

    It really makes me want to play the new Indiana Jones game that just came out. It looks great and I’ve been hearing nothing but good things.

  • I just finished Assassin’s Creed: Brotherhood, and started playing Balatro.

    Other games in progress:

    • Hogwarts Legacy
    • A Hat in Time
    • Lair of the Clockwork God

    Just picked up Radiant Historia the other day and it’s been a surprise. The soundtrack especially has been 10/10 so far, no notes. I really should play more games Shimomura’s scored.

    Nearly done with Trails in the Sky. Apparently it’s getting a remake in 2025, which I guess might make it more attractive to Kids These Days, but really I suspect is money and effort that could have been better spent elsewhere—the remastered version is pretty good IMO
