I wanna look into playing all the FF but I don’t know which of all the versions out there to play.

Battlefront 2 multi player has come back to life for the moment.
Mostly Jurassic Park Evolution 2, offered by Epic a few weeks ago. Fills the little kid in me with joy, who loved dinosaurs after watching og Jurassic Park back in the day.

Antimatter Dimensions. Free, I have 1,000+ hours. Incremental/idle game though.
I‘m playing Bowser‘s Fury while waiting for some AFK grind in Core Keeper to finish for that sweet, sweet platinum.
Core Keeper‘s a really good game, the 100-skill-point-grind‘s gotta be the bane of any achievement hunter, though. Anyway, I recommend anyone who liked the likes of Starbound to give it a look.
I‘ve also finished Mario Kart World (not so patient) this week and went back to MK8 to check if it‘s nostalgia but nope, I really think 8 is so much better. A tip for anyone having trouble to three star on 150cc: Stop drifting. The game adjusts difficulty by the amount you drift. If you don‘t drift the AI stops being absolute rubberbanding BS. And you can press dpad down to rewind. If you do that before a blue shell hits, you can avoid the hit.
I‘ve also „finished“ PUBG with a friend of mine this week. It‘s a really fun game but also… so sweaty at this point that even low elo will likely absolutely smoke you. Can‘t really recommend it unless you wanna spend a long time in training to be able to keep up eventually. There‘s three casual games a day where 88% of the lobby are bots and you get to shoot at someone without getting insta headshot back, so that‘s fun at least.
I played super tux kart (or any kind of cart racing game for that matter) and had a great time
My friends and I love to hum the gloriously CC-licensed main menu music!
Finished up Darks Souls 3. There was the odd annoying area or enemy but overall I enjoyed myself quite well. It did not feel like the pinnacle of the Dark Souls experience like I have heard it described as, just more Dark Souls. Which is fine but I won’t start a NG+ anytime soon I think.
Funny, that’s one of my all time favourite games. Some of my favourite ever bosses are from that game, and the lows aren’t nearly as annoying (to me) as the lows of the original Dark Souls. I’d still say I prefer Elden Ring and Sekiro to any DS title, though.
Congrats! I feel similarly about DS3. Certain fights like Nameless King, Sister Friede, and Gael are some of the best in the entire series IMO, but the linear, grey/bleak levels drag on after a while and then you end the game with the meh Soul of Cinder. Plus that game is where the modern fast roll spam twitchy gameplay originated.
I finished Deus Ex: Mankind Divided this week, and I’m now trying to decide whether I want to push through the DLCs or not. I’m kind of done with the game but if I don’t do them now I probably never will.
Overall I found MD to be good, but uneven. The main story overall suffers immensely from being the second game in a planned trilogy, but the side content is very very good. Gameplay was a step up from Human Revolution in most regards and there were some pretty good level designs strewn around as well. The final mission felt absolutely awesome to me and was one of my favourite Deus Ex missions, and Golem City was another highlight. The running theme of apartheid was also extremely well executed and the climax to that arc with martial law at the end felt very impactful.
Overall I think Human Revolution is probably better as it’s a more self contained and complete experience, but the highs of Mankind Divided are definitely higher than those of HR, in my opinion.
The Alters has been insanely fun the last week or so. Pretty interesting science fiction space survival, resource gathering, base building. Some of the mechanics around quantum computing is quite unique.
Mass Effect Legendary Edition!
I was thinking of jumping to that next, I’m currently replaying the Hitman reboot trilogy. I haven’t played Mass Effect in a while, and never tried the LE. What do you think of it? How are the graphics? Have you played the originals? If so, how does it compare?
Blasphemous! Slept too long on this one, its really good, love the lore, and it’s not too hard
Completely ignoring the plot in Fallout 4 as I help yet another settlement
Stealth archer?
Less stealth and more “I’m hopped up on goofballs and nerd rage lets goooooooo”
Splatoon 3
Great game
