Shadow of Tomb raider. I’ve avoided this game because of the bad reviews I’ve read near premiere. But I find it quite chill. I qm playing on normal and sequences with enemies are not as tedious as in rise of tomb raider
P5R and The Legend of Dragoon. I put off P5R for so long but I’m glad I finally got around to playing it. It’s so good!
I haven’t played much of The Legend of Dragoon yet but I just had an urge to play it again. I loved that game when I was a kid. Playing on Steam Deck is great!
Man, I would have never expected so see someone talking about Kaido Racer here. I tried that game about 2 years ago, but never got far. I only ever had the first track to play, since I never beat the right enemies to unlock the other ones. I probably should give it another go, it seems pretty well made even if the translation is a bit funky haha.
I think I’m about 40 hours in? I have unlocked all but one track in the game until now. You gotta remember to check the “internet forums” to challenge the leaders of every track, and get hints of how to find new rivals. After some point when you get sponsors, money stops being an issue, even if you can’t farm races during the day.
Thank you for your tips. I do remember reading the forums, but never getting the point of it. Maybe I should set my game to English instead of German, the translation for the latter is very weird.
I also had the problem of finding rivals during the night that I just couldn’t beat, because they were way faster than I was. And that was the case even after upgrading every part of my car. Maybe I just made the wrong choice for the first car? Which one did you start with?
This run, I started with a Toyota Vitz because of the Gran Turismo meme. Even painted it pink and all. Many cars are viable in this game, I’m currently tearing through most rivals with a Subaru Impreza Wagon! The thing you must notice, however, is that the game heavily relies on upgrading and tuning your car. And, many upgrades don’t initially do anything tangible to your car until you manually mess with them. Upgraded transmission, go in there and set shorter gear ratios. Upgraded suspension, go in there and mess with hardening the springs and dampeners, change wheel alignment and lower the ride height. You can touch up almost any setup section you can think of, it’s really a car game for gear heads. But that’s why I love it. I think it’s even more in depth in that aspect than even Gran Turismo, even if it’s not trying to be a super realistic sim. The whole Tokyo Xtreme Racer franchise is like that, although the highway racers are much more hardcore. TXR Zero is straight up unfair if you’re playing sub optimally.
This is really interesting, thanks for your insight. I don’t really know a lot about cars, but maybe I’ll give it another try one day. I will definitely keep this in mind :)
I’ve been playing Minecraft on my Quest 3 via Vivecraft. It’s a really nice VR experience - very well done for a mod. The only downside is that it’s very performance limited. Even with stuff like Sodium installed, it struggles with a greater than 10 block rendering radius. Maybe if Minecraft ever moves to Vulkan, there’d be more room for improvement there.
I got into farming sims after the recent Stardew Valley update and am playing Fields of Mistria (already great!) as well as Rune Factory 4 (it‘s fine, I guess… didn‘t hold up too well IMO, mainly because of its scuffed 3D graphics instead of pixel art).
I‘ve also completed the Frog Detective trilogy - a series of very easy, short, and quirky mystery games - and I can absolutely recommend it.
I finally got into No man’s sky and I’m happy I waited with my first playthrougj until it got good.
There’s a ton of exploration and things to do, I’m still only touching the surface during my expedition. But I’m almost done and can’t wait to get into the full campaign.
I got addicted to Factorio. Its such a cool game. Its really satisfying seeing your production grow. However, it takes some time to get used to the “think big” mindset and creating new factories does take some time but its very rewarding once you made it.
I spent way too much time with Bob’s+Angel’s with SpaceX, 160h in and I just unlocked the final tier of modules and now I need to scale up the whole base to get enough science to make the millions of science I need to research everything.
I haven’t even started Space Exploration (which is very different than SpaceX = Space Extension), but I won’t have enough time to play that before the Factorio DLC comes out…
Having a friend that has a shit load of stuff reallyhelpss I never worried about having the vest builds too, but if you want to farm(e. G. endo(or what was the currency used for upgrading mods called again?)) You need good builds because otherwise you are quite fucked and need a lot of runs to farm some decent amounts.
Started /m/[email protected], still playing Stardew Valley (I went up 100 hours in about a month!), and still slowly progressing on My Next Life as a Villainess: All Routes Lead to Doom -Pirates of the Disturbance- as I yell about on the /m/otomegames weekly threads. I have also been trying various /m/[email protected], including a billion bananas and Squareixion.
For transparency, just a subscriber on most of those communities, but I do mod /m/otomegames.
Bravely Second and Rat King Adventures. To me, the former is being pretty fun, even more than Bravely Default, at least some 8 hours in, with the only potential problem being levelling feels way too easy. Rat King Adventure is also nice, although I’m not a big fan of roguelikes, and it got me curious since it’s rare to find FOSS games.
