What game did you last finish? What did you think of it?

I picked up “Mafia: Definitive Edition” cheap the other day (I’ve linked it on Steam as it’s still on sale for the next few days).

I was a fan of Mafia (the original from 2002) and felt it was cheap enough to give it a shot and I’m glad I did: besides the infamous/arduous racing level I found it to be very enjoyable overall.

I was sad to see that there wasn’t any “Freeride Extreme” in the latest version (this was bonus, fun, ludicrous content, available after completing the game) as it would have been a nice addition, the “Freeride” mode is likewise a little lackluster but the actual campaign is great.

What was the last game you finished? Was it any good?

Just Cause 2. Very fun game that is too big for its own good.

They really need to mod the wingsuit into the game somehow. I remember playing the demo way back when and being blown away by how much you could explore even there. I got the game a couple years later and to this day I still haven’t finished it.

God I’d forgotten how much fun that was. Rico was so cheesy and fuckin psychotic at the same time

BmeBenji ,

It blows me away how little publicity that game got. All the best elements of a cinematic action movie packed into one game.

Finish last, GYLT. That is was kinda good game. Working on Scars Above, will finish today or tomorrow. I think I like it. There is a stretch where “I’m like, am I doing the same thing over and over?!”

I want to get “Immortals of Aveum”, but I accidentally added the demo to my PS5, and now I do not see the option to buy the standard (and discounted) edition. PS store is the worst!!

Edit: don’t my ps plus expires at the end of the month, I may get the purchase rights back, but that may suck cause it would be after Black Friday 🤔

Just completed Sea of Stars 100%. Was a charming game and was a nice break from the game I last finished: Dark Souls

Sea of Stars. I liked it but it felt kind of thin. I wish they had had a bigger budget. It really feels like there should have been a third chapter and it feels like things are left hanging. I didn’t get the super true final ending but still felt like there should have been more depth in general. It’s a beautiful game with a surprisingly good and strong narrative. The game play was solid but didn’t really grow much over the course of the game.

Patches ,

They reinvested basically every dollar they made on The Messenger to make this. I’m not sure it could’ve ever been a bigger budget without an entirely different studio - making it a completely different game.

InvaderDJ ,

I just finished Spiderman 2. I enjoyed it. It’s technically ambitious with the city being so huge but detailed, second load screens for fast travel and just generally beautiful. It adds a lot more combat mechanics and balances some broken mechanics. The story was heartfelt and well done for the most part as well with a few non-combat sections that really let me relate to Peter and his relationships with Harry Osborn and MJ. Yurenthal as Peter Parker put in some emotional performances.

But the gameplay overall is extremely iterative. And the last third or so is extremely rushed with whole plot lines being crammed in and resolved in literal minutes.

If you liked the first game and just want more and “better”, you will get that with this game. I was definitely satisfied.

Endless Dungeon with a friend. It was entertaining but we finished a full run after not too much time and we’re both pretty disappointed. The base gameplay was good, but it really felt like a demo, no real drive to play it again

Hitman 2. Now working on the third. It’s alright, I loved the first one, but it’s starting to get a bit boring/repetitive. The new freelancer mode in Hitman 3 seems somewhat interesting, but overall, there’s been very little change or improvement between the games. They are fascinating at first, but if you play too long you start noticing all the weird glitches in the simulation that break immersion and can either be exploited or just ruin the experience.

Sleeping dogs for the second time. Wasn’t bothered to collect all of the stuff after doing the story as I’ve other things to play.

It was good fun for the few days while I played it

Terraria, by beating the Moon Lord on master mode. Oh, I’ll be back, because I love playing it on the Steam Deck, and it’s probably my most played game ever apart from TF2. Sadly, that game has aged badly.

TheDarkKnight ,

How are you doing controls for Terraria on SD? Every scheme I’ve tried has been super clunky but I love that game and it is perfect for SD.

I’ve finished Ori and the Blind Forest at least 3 times recently. I had my first playthrough (100%), then I went back for the 3 hour speedrun (took a couple attempts to figure out my routing) and got a 2.5 hour run. Then I did a hard mode run with no upgrades. I’ve yet to do any tries for the no death run because that’s probably going to be hell.

As you might have guessed, I think it’s a fantastic game. I’m very much looking forward to playing the sequel. I’m going to try a couple no death runs before I move on though.

Patches ,

Please tell me you’ve played Ori and the Will of the Wisps. Both games are tied for the best game I’ve ever played. They have everything perfected in every way. I wish I would go back in time and erase my memory so I could play it again.

I played and finished Dredge. It’s a fishing horror game, but a surprisingly relaxing experience! Very recommended. You go out with your boat in search of that rare catch. But at night you have to be careful of going crazy. Nice story too.

I just finished demon souls and I thought it was pretty good overall. I felt like the difficulty was interesting. I hit an initial wall until I realized I had to jump from area to area. At that point I steamrolled the rest of the game in two days.

Not my favorite of the souls series, but it was interesting. I could see how they used demon souls as a way to test the waters with various ideas.

I still think my favorites are dark souls 3 and sekiro.

Currently playing bloodborne now. I like where it’s going, but I’m still only on the third(?) boss so I’ll have to wait and see. It’s the last of the series that I need to play.

Ruu ,

I just beat OneShot yesterday. It was beautiful, Niko is so cute! Also, the story was interesting and very meta. It had some very neat game mechanics too. Excellent game.

brsrklf ,

Which version, PC? I did that one a while ago and I liked it. But then I was like “Wait, how?” when I saw it was being ported to Switch, because I am not sure how the weird stuff it does would work on it.

In any case it has interesting themes, and it’s very good at making the player connect with them.

Ruu ,

I played the steam version of it. I don’t know how the switch version handles the weird stuff. Seems like without the weird stuff, it would really take away from the narrative however :(

Celeste.

I finished 100% of it recently, it was painful but also really fun, and it made me really proud of achieving it.

Celeste is a great game, one of my favorites to just randomly pick up and play for a bit

MentalDiscord ,

Cyberpunk 2077. Enjoyed the game. Pissed me off tho. 2 reasons: 1) the female PC cannot hook up with Panam and 2) the DLC is not released on older gens. Soured me on the whole company.

filister ,

CDPR are actually providing consistent updates to their games and free graphics updates on the next gen. Mind you that’s pretty rare these days.
